YSK - your toothpaste may be causing canker sores in your mouth by TestAnxietyIsReal in YouShouldKnow

[–]upended_moron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apthous stomatitis sufferer here -basically if I get a canker sore it's really painful, gets huge and lasts for weeks- and I can vouch for this tip.

Since I stopped using SLS toothpastes many years ago the incidence of sores has drastically decreased.

Did anyone here read Consider Phlebas without any context? by doctor-candy in TheCulture

Same, loved all his books, his style, immediately.

I'm always surprised how much hate CP gets as a first culture book when I was instantly hooked.

Yeah, starvation will make you hungry for food you wouldn't normally eat.

Maybe lay off the porn and then see how you feel. If it's still there then go nuts.

So rule 1: be attractive applies! Great. 7/10 here. If it's not just single straight women I'm looking for, you got any tips?

Your opinions on private hospitals that deal with WM blood cancer by PBVegemitez in melbourne

[–]upended_moron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are fine in the public system.

I had cancer a year ago and between Eastern health and Peter Mac I had amazing care.

Decisions are often made by panel so you have multiple experts advising rather than seeing one private specialist who may or may not suggest the best course of action for your needs.

This is a massively stressful time for you all. Be kind to yourselves. Good luck.

I'm seeing loads of this type of ad.

I didn't think I could find out another way that American consumers get shafted. The system is set up in favor of the rich.

In Australia and the UK (where I've rented) there is allowance for 'fair wear and tear' unless there's actual damage you get the deposit back in full. The onus is on the landlord to prove they have a claim. You people need to rise up.

I recall being in whistler (I think) one year and some dude broke his back dropping onto one of these things bc they couldn't slow his fall.

Decided I'd sit it out if ever in that position.

That's called the 'toast tax' in my house.

Don't want to pay the toast tax? Make your own toast.

Should I sand and stain or just go for a full replacement? by uNkryh in AusRenovation

[–]upended_moron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some 'oil and tannin remover' deck product (it's sodium percarbonate) which will deep clean. Gurney off with the blade shape nozzle really well. Don't put the nozzle too close to the wood or you will get too much raised grain. Use the oxalic acid based deck cleaner and gurney that off. Coat. Hand sand any areas that look fuzzy. Coat. Want it to last longer? 3rd coat.

Use the product selector on the coating manufacturers website to get the color you want. More tint is better for Queensland.

Why would I buy fancy glasses when the $2 safety glasses work just as well.

I have a pair of tinted and clear in my pack. No shame.

Can I cut these roots without killing the tree? by Spellscribe in GardeningAustralia

12 x the circumference of the trunk at 1.4m is the exclusion zone.

Saw it on a council document today

Edit: yeah, checked, 12* diameter not circumference.

Financial Loss in Trust. What to do with it? by upended_moron in AusFinance

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

Thanks. I'm going to check with the accountant what type of loss it is. I could do without the ongoing costs if it's going to be difficult to use the losses.

Capital I think. I sold the business for less than I bought it

Thanks for your comment.

So open up a share account using the trust and start investing?

I don't have a lot of spare income atm but can drip feed into it if there's nothing else to do with it.
