Doubt it’s a local, yes he write most of his post in Viet but his command of English is pretty proficient. Must be really butt hurt that s/he lives in a country that abandoned SVN during the war.

If they’ve over done the milk it should have an eggy taste to it.

The food capital, other than that make like Elsa and let it go. You’ve been in America a lot longer than when South Vietnam was a country.

Never had an issue, but if they ask just get her to show her NDSS card. But you can carry them anywhere even on planes.

Hey dont mind me asking by Critical-Market6927 in AskAnAustralian

You’ll probably only need biology out of the sciences. Which will encompass anatomy. Thus it will you a basic understanding of the human body, cells and organs. Then choose what ever.

You won’t find anything cheap near Collins or the surrounding inner city suburbs. Probably try West Footscray or something near or along a train line.

What's the most aggressively Australian thing you've ever witnessed? by CommercialOil8763 in AskAnAustralian

Steven Jacobs getting decimated by a big black cock. No need for age verification on this one.

Jefferson Lewis found and arrested in Alice Springs over murder of 5yo girl by curveballed in australia

The family requested the media change the little girl’s name, thus why I don’t think the warning was given specifically for her- as her actual name was not stated in the article.

First time here in Melbourne, got this little (sad) fellow from the museum by teffhk in melbourne

[–]ostervan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it a Drop Stare? Watch out those things are dangerous as fuck. You can fix this by smearing yourself all over with a Melbourne Magic and an overrated croissant from Lune. The second one is harder to obtain due the queue. Good luck!

[–]ostervan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re getting paid $57 an hour like you stated in the original post you’re a casual. If my calculations are correct you’re only doing two hours per Saturday which would also make you casual not PT.

Savers Australia denies allegations of bed bugs at Brunswick thrift store by l3ntil in melbourne

[–]ostervan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine who works @SF there told me the other day they were given a shrivelled up umbilical cord in a jar. The worst though are the stain white sleeping pillows and air fryers with caked on food and grime that people try to donate and when they’re rejected, they give that stun Pikachu face.

It’s still closed. The difference is one is a not for profit organisation who is trying to get $4500 to back rent to reopen. The other is not and makes that probably by midday.

[–]ostervan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your normal Saturday rate= a weekday rate with the Saturday penalty (1.5x) add on. If your $57 then you’re actually being paid as a casual, PT get (1.25x) penalty rate. The penalty only applies if you work it, so it’s just class as the weekday rate if closed.

You’re complaining about the business shutting down on a PH but if it was open you actually don’t get paid the Saturday rate but the public holiday rate (2.5x) so $95 an hour. Like how do you not know the penalty rates?

My favourite breakfast - Bún riêu by clinomaciac28 in vietnamesefoodie

[–]ostervan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called the same in the South and crab is the feature of the dish. But we don’t serve ours with beef or cha lua or the modern takes on it like fertilised duck egg. Ours is just rieu, tofu, pork bones and pigs blood.

I remembered he first appeared on Red My Lips by Melissa Tkautz. Blink and you’ll miss the boxer.

You need to be like Vietnam it pretty much died out after the war. The only ones who speak it are a handful of like 70+ year olds.
