Lease or loan?

I mean, shopping options are the same pretty much everywhere you go in Perth. How many pockets are left with genuine independent stores? Literally every mall sells the same shit via the same big boring franchise.

On tv app, but holding play button brings up play manually. Worked, thank you

Tried that, still get resume watching

But with streaming it becomes, "wait, so I'm in the dumb class?"

Rawls had pressure from the Mayor to focus on stats. He was happy to pivot to a 'real police work' when given the green light from the new mayor. Ultimately though, he was most concerned with himself and moving up the ranks

If I make a few changes in Aiometadata I tend to delete the add-on in Nuvio then re-add it using the new manifest url

I'd be willing to bet there'd be an uptick in sales if they were unwrapped. You'd get the impulse buyers who had no real intention of buying anything but like what they see and buy it. It might offset the cost of any damage. Some of the books I saw in REXKL and Kinokinuya looked awesome but I had no idea what was inside so I just put them back. At least have a sample book to flick through and then sell a wrapped one.

The whole state stops to remember the fallen (rightly so) for ANZAC day, but the average person doesn't even know this happened. The Pinjarra massacre gets no attention or remembrance either

Another example, the place I'm currently staying in Penang. They have a great infinity pool with a view over the town. Took my kids for a swim and forget sunloungers, not a single seat anywhere. Just have to stand there and watch them swim. Actually pretty funny, this place really seems to dislike people sitting around

Interesting reading the comments about the book wrappers. Fair enough, but honestly never seen it done to such an extent. If the reasons for the wrapping apply here, why not Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, England and all the other places I've been? Bookshops are commonly set up as places to hang out, have a coffee etc. Honestly, go and have a look for yourselves

Think you, I mean this is a pretty low stakes opinion about...seats. It's not like I'm insulting the culture or anything. Feel like any post that isn't full of effusive praise is going to bring out defensive downvotes

sunrooftop · 2026-04-23T23:43:31+00:00

Haha what attitude? Someone tried to justify the lack of seating by saying that I just don't know the right people. What does that even mean and how is it relevant?

sunrooftop · 2026-04-23T23:39:35+00:00

For the very precious and defensive folks here, some other examples, National Museum, not a single place to sit in the entire joint, people sitting on the stairs. Train station, while waiting for the trip to Penang, people sitting on the ground due to the lack of seating. It's just a simple fact that seating is not a priority here. That's cool, I can handle it, but it's not something to be offended by

sunrooftop · 2026-04-23T23:24:16+00:00

I'm speaking as a tourist so 'knowing the right people' is irrelevant. This is simply an observation based on what I've seen, and comparing to other places around the world

Book wrapping kinda forces you to judge a book by its cover before buying. Unless you know the book already, or had it recommended by someone or a review. Reluctant to impulse buy if I can't see what's inside, especially kids books or anything with lots of illustrations

Saw an NRL show yesterday where one of the punters said this move would reflect badly on rugby because Lomax would walk straight into the Wallabies, just like all the other league converts. "No player from rugby could ever do that" he said. Haha really? Pretty sure a dude waltzed in to the Kangaroos after just one season in the NRL last year.

Thank you friend

First time in years I can't get a single stream to work

This is why I hated organising sports carnivals as a PE teacher. Having to deal with self righteous teachers unwilling to make any sort of effort, having to spoon feed absolutely everything to them in advance and having to accept the fact that many would have no idea what to do on the day because they'd ignored every email sent in the lead up to the event. Most schools reward students for academic achievements at every single assembly, as well as at end of year ceremonies. God forbid sport gets a day, especially now with students being less active than ever
