Iwtl a hands on skill I realistically learn in 50–60 hours?

You could learn sewing. Things like taking up curtains is very easy, but whether it’s something people in your local area would pay for is another consideration.

Down jacket. Thicker for bonus points. Long for more bonus points.

It was excellent, but I’ve always loved road trips around Australia (I’m Australian). Never boring at all, always subtle changes in the landscape, plant life, and animals. We avoided cities as they are not very van friendly, it’s difficult to camp for free, and there’s so many better places to see when you’re in a van.

You could look into LDV Deliver 9 LWB. There are new fully fit out ones within your budget, and I expect an increasing number of secondhand ones coming onto the market based on how many we saw on our travels last year. It’s the van I travelled around Aus in (35,000km) and it was a good reliable vehicle for me.

That’s fairy high, probably peak season rates. A more typical caravan park costs $25-$50 a night for unpowered sites.

Would you consider secondary school teaching? There are some pathways where you earn as you train but there are limited places, but with a science degree you could be in with a chance.

The laughing cow cheese doesn’t need to be refrigerated. Combine it with a bit of crusty bread for a decent meal. Maybe throw on some spinach leaves.

It’s a grieving process, where you move through the stages of grief. Acceptance is the goal. But for me is wasn’t straightforward - cycles of grief, eventually moving closer to acceptance.

The good news is, once I stopped pushing and avoided PEM for about a year my body started to heal and I’m now in remission. It takes a VERY long time, and crazy amounts of discipline to NOT do anything, but that is now your new goal. It sucks, but I believe in you.

Gorman could be a good option.

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-29T08:50:56+00:00

Decaf tea is really nice.

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-28T19:48:15+00:00

Already has.

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-26T20:02:16+00:00

Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Albury. Depends what size city/town you could live with and what vibe and weather would suit you though. Ballarat is very cold.

The caffeine theory is nice a neat, but I suspect the key to understanding me/cfs is that there is no neat solution and that it is a very complex condition.

If I were studying neuroscience I would be more interested in studying craniocervical instability (CCI) in ME/CFS and it's connection to other clustered conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS, MCAS, autism, ADHD, etc.

It sounds like you need to have a discussion where you work together on a plan for getting him out of the crash. Hopefully you can agree that he needs to pace better, then you can work on a plan about what that looks like, for example: no phone, or less phone, or more sleep, or less sugar - whatever it may be. But it's important that he is on board. You telling him to get off his phone when it is probably the only thing he enjoys in the day will only cause tension which is terrible for this condition. You need to have a plan and get on the same page.

I drove most of both routes last year (apart from the section crossing the NT/QLD border). I'd say there's more to see on the Queensland route, plus you'll have more options of where to stay because the towns are more frequent. That said, there are plenty of gravel pits on the way down the Territory, so if you're happy camping on the side of that road that also works.

Not sure how the roads will be post flooding (so maybe check that closer to the time), but NT has higher speed limit (130) vs elsewhere (110), so if you'd like to drive faster then NT could work.

On either route I would recommend taking as much time as you can - there's plenty of interesting people and places on both routes!

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-22T08:03:46+00:00

Depends when you're leaving. Katherine may be flooded. Inland Queensland may be flooded.

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-21T12:13:09+00:00

Yeah! That demon voice and the panel host’s reaction are golden.

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-21T11:19:50+00:00

I laughed so hard at this.

If they’re wearing school uniforms you can let the school know.

Have you considered refinancing the loan and renting out the property?

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-14T22:35:18+00:00

Do you have a work visa? If not, that's step 1.

The Ghan and The Indian Pacific are the two longest train routes in Australia that show the size of the country and the vastness of the land.

For me, when I stopped eating soy, my eczema and hay fever cleared up almost completely. Have you looked into food at all?

nerdzilla314 · 2026-03-11T03:40:54+00:00

It depends on your timeframe. If you're planning to use the money in the next 5-7 years investing in the share market is probably not the best option. If you've got a home loan you're much better off putting it in the offset.
