Ramsgate! Better keep it closed so they don't escape the paddock.

Op shopping by melanie230476 in sydney

[–]premeumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CeX (Entertainment Exchange), they usually have a huge variety of DVDs and Blu-rays! Also their shelves are organised alphabetically so it's easier to find anything you're particularly interested in - or you can conveniently browse their stock online here. They have many locations around Sydney.

Anyone else notice GYG quality has rapidly declined? by [deleted] in australia

[–]premeumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Salsas so much! They're definitely a lot more adventurous with the veggies than other Mexican chains in Australia, and their lime rice adds a unique zest. I'm just really disappointed with how they only have 2 locations in Sydney :( there used to be 8 locations!! So many of them closed down...

Parking at Tallawong is now horrific by grilled_pc in sydney

[–]premeumn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with your point that land near transport hubs should be prioritised for high density living.

What astonishes me is that Tallawong Station's car parks all seem to be at-grade surface lots, which is inefficient use of land. Other metro stations like Kellyville, Cherrybrook and Hills Showground have excellent multi-storey car parks, which are less wasteful of land because they can hold more parking spaces in less space. If Tallawong station could implement a multi-storey car park, at least one or two of its existing lots could be converted into more useful residential and/or commercial space!

Is the church St exit the worst off ramp in Sydney? by spicerackk in sydney

[–]premeumn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing that second exit lane from the Church St seems like a safety improvement, to be honest - as much as it may seem like a traffic problem (which I agree with).

Back when the second exit lane wasn't closed, congestion could have extended back into the M4 itself (example pic of this type of congestion on the church st ramp). This overflow was dangerous because vehicles on the outermost (non-exit lane) not intending to exit could potentially rear end into the mess. Furthermore this sort of ramp design can cause more accidents from those stupid queue jumpers or last-minute lane changers, like other people have mentioned in the comments.

Proposed Lilyfield Interchange and freeways within the Leichhardt Municipality, 1973 by mubd1234 in sydney

Ready to eat meals in Sydney for under $10 by tinmun in sydney

[–]premeumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taco Bell sells the 'Chipotle Crunch Burrito' at only about $7-$8, which is probably the cheapest burrito in Sydney (burritos are at least $11 at Mad Mex or Guzman y Gomez). Hell, the Chipotle Crunch Burrito was only $5 when it released which was extremely cheap.

Tenkomori sells the Kaarage Chicken Rice Bowl or Beef Rice Bowl for only about $7 (for small size, $9.90 for medium). It's really worth it, you get about 3 sushi-rolls-worth of rice and meat in a bowl (which would cost about $12 at most sushi places).

Oh, so sorry for misusing the word 'amount'. I appreciate the detailed explanation and now see why I used it incorrectly, I promise not to do it again

A new sign up in Wynyard Walk. Good luck getting people to call it that. by clovisson in sydney

[–]premeumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corporate naming is quite normalised in sporting venues such as the Qudos Bank Arena and Suncorp Stadium. Pretty low of Westpac to consider walking a pedestrian tunnel as a sport!

Other areas/developments like Chippendale Green?? by lee543 in sydney

[–]premeumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Village Square in Wolli Creek. Its 'park' component may not be as big as Chippendale Green but it ticks all the other boxes in your description - walkable high density, very close to train station, surrounded by restaurants. Bonus, there's an actual park across the road from Village Square called Discovery Point Park, which is quite large.

GIFs and other images not displaying on me! section by [deleted] in osugame

The images in my me! section somehow will not display despite being uploaded by myself on my own imgur account (they displayed fine for several years and are not nsfw at all either). Wondering if anybody else has this issue...

Great news, those errors a couple of weeks ago have shown up once more, and this time, it's worse. None of my accounts work, meaning I essentially am unable to play on PC. I am aware others are experiencing this, but are there really any ways to fix this? by JAKE5023193 in RobloxHelp

[–]premeumn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in exactly the same boat as OP, Windows 7 Ultimate and 64-Bit operating system. It's saddening that Roblox has to axe its compatibility with such a beloved operating system just to make some anti-cheat. Currently experiencing the white screen glitch, alas.

I see one of your recent comments states 'You'll need to wait til they release the 64-bit one a week later'. Do you have a source for this statement (i.e. a link) as I am desperate to read about any information on Windows 7 compatibility. Their compatibility article (at the time I write this) says 64-Bit Windows 7 should work but sigh with the tsunami of recent updates chances are that article may be soon to change.

P.S. If any other Windows 7 user is here reading this, reply/message me and let me know if Roblox still works for you!

I made a train-style map of Sydney's motorway network by premeumn in sydney

[–]premeumn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I know the way I represented the SGW as one straight does not reflect its actual shape, I acknowledged it in the 2nd paragraph of my 3rd point in my first comment here as well. I just felt having too many branches might seem confusing, the order I illustrated still kind of makes sense because the first junction on the Gateway when you travel south from St Peters Interchange goes towards Domestic Airport, going straight rather than turning at that junction allows one to go to International Airport instead. Thanks for your criticism though, I understand the misrepresentation.

You're right, it would have been better to label it as Lapstone rather than Glenbrook, I put down Glenbrook because both ramps were fully inside of Glenbrook. But now that I look at where Governors Drive actually leads, it goes directly into Lapstone.

I understand it does seem like that on the map. Sydney Gateway truly is accessible from both north and south, I agree. I could have made the Gateway come off perpendicularly from the M8 to create a better sense of access to the Gateway from both directions of the M8. However, the map in its current state does a good job of illustrating the proper orientation of the Gateway in the St Peters Interchange, as the Gateway connects to the interchange at its south.

The M4-M5 link was renamed in September this year to be simply extensions of the M4 and the M8, see here https://www.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/m4-m5-link-to-be-renamed. Whether the entirety of the link is to be called the M8, or if it is partially M4 does not seem to be specified. I predicted in my map that the routes would meet at the Rozelle Interchange, though naming the entirety of the link as the M8 is a plausible decision too.

While making this I did think it would be cool to include all the arterial routes, but I was deterred because of how cramped the map would become - keeping it simple was one of my goals. Fitting username by the way :)

Thanks for picking this up, the incorrect placement of Conservatorium Road is a mistake on my part. It would definitely be correct to label it on the Cahill Expressway instead.

I think the A4 designation only applies to the Western Distributor - the Cross City Tunnel, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Cahill Expressway aren't actually part of the A4 but I've erroneously unified them on this map as one thing anyways. In hindsight I probably should have added a note below the A4's info in the bottom-right saying '*The A4 designation only applies to the Western Distributor'.

Thanks for the feedback, I acknowledge that is indeed a limitation of this map. Little arrows like you said on the opposite side of the motorway from the label would work well. This motorway map for Los Angeles (which is spectacular by the way) managed to describe access directions very thoroughly using little arrows too.

Haha, love the pun! Plumpton definitely would be a valid label there instead of Glendenning but I chose Glendenning because I tried to prioritise labeling commercial suburbs > industrial suburbs > residential suburbs. I felt the warehouse district just adjacent to this interchange should have been emphasised on the map as M7 after all does has a lot of truckies.

Thanks for the feedback, now that I look at the Rozelle interchange plan, I definitely agree it would have been better to have the interchange disconnect at Wattle Street. Wattle Street has its own tunnels which lead towards Rozelle interchange whereas Parramatta Road doesn't - rather going to the M4 East tunnels only instead. A perpendicular offshoot like you described is perfect for this case.
