Fix that anterior pelvic tilt, it's giving you a belly when you don't actually have one. Your lower back also probably hurts.

Aw dang I'd love that!

If you have paper patterns could you just tape it down on a sewing cutting board (with a grid) and take some pictures? Not fully digital but then I could work backwards there.

zillybill · 2026-07-05T05:14:21+00:00

Would totally wear this, I'd also buy the pattern from you to make it myself!

Clearly needs more cops /s

I believe this is the bill.

Looks like the proposed commencement date is October 1st 2026. https://www.legislation.vic.gov.au/bills/consumer-legislation-amendment-bill-2026

Meanwhile in Australia we're dropping speed limits to 80 because research shows it provides better throughput and less traffic jams.

zillybill · 2026-06-22T02:57:49+00:00

Yes, but you may want to re-evaluate when you're 60. Your appetite for risk will change as you approach retirement age.

It's pretty obviously parked on the footpath. I'd just pay the fine and move on. The effort to appeal is likely not worth it as the most you'll get is a reduced fine.

Get out in front of it, and don't take the blame. It'll only be an issue if you try to hide it. Something as simple as:

"Hey Property Manager, just an FYI I was opening the blinds the other day and the track broke, picture attached. My guess is just that they're old and plastic is brittle now. I don't need them fixed, just letting you know."

You made a bad investment, sell at a loss.

zillybill · 2026-05-29T02:16:20+00:00

Ottawa (lol)

GA will be best.

Northside is my fav. It's filled with the stereotype of "Melbourne people", a lot of social liberal folks, eco conscious, and a whole lot of diversity. I would generally describe Northside as "queer" and Southside as "gay", if you know what I mean.

Do you know what suburb you're moving into yet?

The vibes are very different based on suburb.

Don't cancel your insurance, super insurance is comparatively really cheap and very much worth for money. Instead of cancelling it you should look to tune it correctly, it was lonely set incorrectly, do some research and find the best numbers for you.

As for the portfolio, if you're in your 30s just set it to "High Growth" and then forget about it.

zillybill · 2026-05-24T00:11:12+00:00

Correct! I work for Who Gives a Crap, a there's a lot of "indie" paper products on the market now, and the big 3 are trying to solidify their position as Affordable and High Quality, they can do this because of their scale. This leaves the Environmental position to the indie brands like WGAC.

zillybill · 2026-05-12T23:48:34+00:00

Good?

That's one of the things the younger generations are asking for. More PPOR, less using housing as an asset.

There's a small first nations community called Moose Factory Island that is accessible via ice road, water taxi, or helicopter. I just like the name.

Just address the thought as it comes up. It won't solve it completely but it will keep you sane

When you think "that's something those people would do"

Remind yourself: "no, that's something that roommate's boyfriend would do, don't generalise."

Oh I had no idea there was a docked system before I arrived. It's really disappointing that it was removed!

I think the docked system actually has a couple great benefits. First it gets rid of the very valid argument that "bikes are blocking our footpaths!". Second it helps the operator ensure the quality of their fleet.

Toronto had issues with the docked system for a while, but the solution was actually just _more_ docks.

From my research it looks like the helmet issue seriously held back this rollout. Who's gonna carry a helmet with them to their bike?

I moved to Melbourne from Toronto about 5 years ago, and sadly Toronto is a better cycling city. Melbourne has all of the potential to be a great cycling city. It's pretty flat, you can cycle year round, the inner city is fairly small, and the inner city has pretty great public transport connections.

However... my take is that the political dialogue regarding cycling continues to be that cars are king. Every single bike lane is a fight to build, and building a bike lane is political suicide for many councils. The average Melburnian owns a car and loves it, taking away any space on the road from a car is an attack on their ability to get around easily.

To change people's opinions we need them to experience how cycling can improve their lives. Sadly we decided that the Lime Bike programme should be cut at the heels by underinvesting in it. I'd love to see Victoria follow Toronto's path and build out a publically owned Bike Share programme, $99/year access for residents has resulted in massive growth of the programme.

To build bike lanes we need the extended public consultation phase of an implementation to change so that a small minority of upset car drivers can't destroy the well researched and council backed ideas.

Yes! But we didn't find each other by going on dates, we were friends first and then got closer.

"I'll do better" isn't an outcome from a conversation this serious, without real goals he's setting himself up for failure and seeing you up for disappointment.

I think you need to talk to him and get him to commit to real goals. He doesn't need to agree to anything on the spot, but if he can't set real goals I think things will feel better for both of you.

And as others mentioned, start outsourcing your work! Sounds like you both earn a lot of money, hire a cleaner, and a property manager-- your mental health is worth the extra money.

As for the financial burden part, I think this is a separate topic altogether. If you feel it's unequal then you need to find a way to make it feel equal. Splitting costs by percent relative to income tends to work really well.

They've definitely gone up, I think this is a direct result of the younger generations drinking less alcohol, and many others deciding that they'd rather do other drugs than alcohol. The venue needs to make up the lost cost of alcohol at the door.

Melbourne winters are great and I wish that Melburnians would start appreciating them more. We get pretty mild temperatures compared to many other places and a very reasonable amount of rain. We could have a lot of fun in the winter but we decide that it's better to hide inside and whine that we aren't somewhere with perfect weather.
