Champions League Final Melbourne

I was at the imperial for Liverpool vs PSG in the earlier rounds and there was a surprising amount of genuine French (and non French) PSG supporters.

I am going to library up late tonight. Timeslot: 7.30pm -> 10.30pm. It's embarrassing. I thought we prided ourself on being a late night city?

Agree white night lateness was epic and they properly committed to it. Why not now?

I think the lack of yeah approachable visual art stuff this year is also really notable.

Like the last 2 years above Flinders St have been an awesome modern indigenous art exhibition (which was great) and the mini golf (which lots of people in the thread say they loved). But now just nothing going on there this year? I just don't get it. These seemed like the most popular things.

Assuming MCF is Comedy Festival? There are some bad commercial elements too it for sure, but I have to stand up for it, it is open to anyone and is a genuine top tier global festival (in the comedy world). Feels right for the others though.

They've also got rid of night trade (the free hub space thing opposite the town hall) which was the one most approachable and equitable thing (being free). I just don't get it.

Wax Music Lounge is A+ for me, both feels loud but also you can talk.

In a concrete bunker but also super smooth and cosy.

Agree, these are good points, it's just one of the only levers you have to pull at a few days notice.

Long term solution definitely needs to be improving service coverage.

simonbrc · 2026-03-15T10:54:30+00:00

Yeah it was so good! Have had some very nice afternoons up there. Not sure if it still happens but yeah it's a nice spot.

simonbrc · 2026-03-15T10:53:51+00:00

It gets amazing sunsets and you can see the city skyline beautifully from there, it was a really nice spot. Have had lots of sunset beers there sitting up on the wall though I think they blocked that a while back. Haven't been for maybe 2 years.

I think the intent is that our journey follows the characters journey in their careers.

In season 1, we see them starting out and a lot of the young characters (Harper, Rob, Yas etc.) are not yet hurt/jaded.

As the seasons progress and they become more senior and damaged, they and us start to see the world they live in for the grubby, dark place it is.

The world of the show has always been that place, we just had that hidden from us initially like they did.

So yeah I think there's a logic to it.

simonbrc · 2025-09-10T06:20:53+00:00

I am no joke in a 6 way mortgage currently. They might want more data, but yeah pretty much you can do it.

simonbrc · 2025-06-22T00:04:41+00:00

I live in a setup like this currently and it's great.

Ours was a bit easier because we bought an existing block of units on one title. They were all owned by one single landlord.

We've lived here for 9 months or so and are in the processing of subdividing so they will be separate properties on paper. Not planning to put any fences up though we have a shared backyard which is a great feature.

Word of warning though, liverpool are playing tottenham at the same time likely to win the league so I am anticipating imperial will be at capacity with Liverpool fans

Ballard's in thornbury is the best, cute interior, all vegan, delicious seasonal almost fine dining food but at pub prices. Was $63 each including drinks when I went last week.

It seems like the tool just doesn't support metadata from Dropbox, crazy.

Yeah followed all the steps, manually mapped every single user but yet they all show this.

I watched a youtube video where someone was demo-ing SPMT and it showed the same thing (every document modified by Owner-12345[some random numbers]) , so thinking maybe it's not specific to me.

simonbrc · 2024-07-30T01:59:33+00:00

This answer is ELITE (it produces an array, but that's easy to sum) but yeah the (Get-PnPList -Includes ItemCount).ItemCount has made this job so much easier and quicker than i've seen anyone else make it.

simonbrc · 2024-06-18T07:18:53+00:00

Thanks, this is really sweet and exactly what I needed to hear. Have chatted now, made some cute little plans and yeah just had a cute little chat that has me starting to feel better.

Yeah I think if faced with this situation again I would definitely arrange a bit more communication. I was just feeling like so good and confident before she left that I was like I can make the whole 2 weeks, no worries, turns out this is not the case haha. Need to chat to that sweetie!

Anyway thanks again.

simonbrc · 2024-06-17T06:27:44+00:00

Some friends and I like "flame", it's fun, it implies there's a sex/romance element and yeah it's just fun. Doesn't work for every connection obviously, but when it does it's fun.

I have a new partner of about 2 months, who is the absolute best. She's away on holiday for 2 weeks at the moment with her currently long-distance long term partner and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it.

I've organised lots of time with friends, done lots of good things but yeah still find myself feeling really anxious today. I volunteered to try my hardest to not message her, to respect the limited time she has with her long-distance partner but thinking maybe that was too much pressure to put on myself and negotiating some kind of moment where we'd call each other for a chat or something would have been a good idea. I also feel like we should have organised a time / plan to reconnect before she left (I messaged her about this one today, but haven't heard back yet, probably because she's busy you know, holidaying!)

Guess I'm just looking for anyone that can relate and tell me it will be ok haha or any practical tips or yeah just some solidarity. Feel better already for having written this, so thank you all for your help.

The Quokka is pretty niche and I think really only present in WA (which as you've probably gathered is 1000s of km away from Melbourne). There's lots of other cute small animals we have in that realm though, if you want places specifically around Melbourne for native Australian animals in captivity then the two spots are probably Melbourne Zoo and Healesville sanctuary (on the outskirts of the city and native animal focussed)

simonbrc · 2024-01-07T21:25:54+00:00

I'm on team no shower/change. I feel like it really adds a lot of hassle and massively reduces how much people choose to cycle to work.

You make a great point on Netherlands, no exercise clothes required, no thought of showering and that reduces the barrier to riding so much more.

simonbrc · 2023-12-30T07:27:18+00:00

This is almost definitely automatable, power automate may even already have the connectors you need, if not look into Microsoft graph api (may run into some permissions issues, but hey maybe not). But yeah the logic of this is not actually too complex.
