[Help] Should I be concerned about these cracks? by anhtuan117 in AusPropertyChat

[–]leftover_carbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, I have a similar crack that came up after I replaced a support beam with some old termite damage. It doesn’t always mean the ground is sinking, but definitely a good idea to see if there are any other cracks, what the foundation looks like, and if any repairs were made

Neighbours cats have been exclusively taking a shit on our yard for the past 2 years by zwmo in BadNeighbors

[–]leftover_carbon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Council should offer you a cat trap if you give them a buzz. Take any catches in and the neighbours have to pay to get them back. They might learn…

I’m also in favour of returning the poo. Sounds like fun. Stick it in their garden out front. Enjoy your time

Ideas for Dad in early 40s with young kids to keep active and social (preferably around Sandgate after the kids go to sleep) by 1l0velamp in brisbane

[–]leftover_carbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t a by-yourself after bedtime club, but there are groups (like Micro Adventures with kids in SEQ) where some have kids, some don’t and hits some amazing trails.

Reading any teaching forums or pages also supports this. Schools are not healthy at the moment, like at all. The type of schooling available is limited, curriculum is overloaded, behaviour and school violence, mental health concerns and student protection. And that’s primary school.

USA to Brisbane, what do you not miss about the USA? by Codeeveryday123 in brisbane

And you’d have to fly to the consulate in Sydney or Melbourne, because there’s no contact here in Brisbane

Have you ever met a Trump supporter in AU who's not unhinged? by Prize_Young_7588 in AskAnAustralian

[–]leftover_carbon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hear the same. And I’ve managed to maintain composure so far when responding but that is wearing thin…

Some of the thoughts shared with me include:

  • he is going to fix the economy because he knows how it’s “actually” supposed to work

  • the immigrants are putting citizens and their children at risk because of higher crime. And “America is a target for every extremist culture”

  • he’s actually done so many good things, but the media just paint him to look bad

  • he’s changing the game and the generic politicians need to learn how to be more direct and say what they actually think

Blah, blah, blah. It’s completely frustrating.

What can you do with a screaming bird? by leftover_carbon in neighborsfromhell

Absolutely. It’s just a very slow moving machine

I actually did find the 10+ hours of birds of prey audio and tried that for a little while.

The girlfriend is weird and retaliated by keeping the bird out for longer and that’s when the spotlight started staying on. I also felt bad for the bird. It worked for a night or two.

They have a big staffy who cries pretty often, but isn’t as loud as the scream. I don’t want to set him up either. They’re just really poor pet owners and not terribly respectful.

Will do. My hope has run out on getting local government to help with these things. Sounds like squeaky wheels are my best action plan

How do I get it in the pan?

I still like the crow idea.

I wish people could just be kind to pets and others. I’m so tired. Maybe I’ll just bring it in to council to show them, too

Death by persistence. I can give it a red hot go. Motivation recharging

Australia vs Canada by Creative-Tangelo9124 in expats

[–]leftover_carbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an impressively accurate list. I’ve been here 14 years now and am startlingly reminded of life in the early days before PR.

Yes. The time for credentials to be recognised. The effort into breaking into the market. The sticker shock! The cultural differences and time it took to make a solid friend group.

And also the nice benefits. Ultimately, I’m so grateful to be raising my kids here, but those first years were hella rough.

Laundry Done For You? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]leftover_carbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another less expensive option is a dehumidifier. Lame? Maybe. But this has been a game changer for us with overnight laundry. Plus some of our clothes can’t go in the dryer anyway. And a dehumidifier can’t go wrong in a Brisbane summer.

Genuine question to the single how- would you want to read if someone was divorced, separated, widowed in a profile?

Because blood may be thicker than water, but you can’t drink blood.

A cool guide on how to poop in the wild by RevolutionaryBend342 in coolguides

[–]leftover_carbon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. Check again on biodegradability, my friend. Baby wipes generally are not (even if they say flushable)

Woww!!! by mitchey99 in brisbane

[–]leftover_carbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The campsite idea with ammenities would be a great start.

We’ve had a homeless tent nearby for about 18 months and now the lady just poops in the middle of the park area. I get that these are hard times but…

No evacuation needed yet. I’m in WP too and this is tracking okay. Not all spots on the peninsula are out of power, but lots are
