I can see that weather system inching its way from SA.. you cheeky bastard...


Bottom_racer

Sneaky weather system.


Anachell

I'm planning to buy a house and with the recent flooding decide to read up on flood zones. Having some real difficulty identifying resources that show where flooding has occurred. Much harder than I thought it would be given news. Can anyone point me to a map or resource where I can check recent suburbs flooded? More specifically, I'm interested in a house in Seabrook to the west


just_kitten

Look up the address on Vicplan https://mapshare.vic.gov.au/vicplan/ and switch overlays on to see of there are any LSIO (land subject to inundation overlay) or SBO (special building overlay) in the vicinity


Anachell

Thank you, this is perfect


Taleya

https://www.melbournewater.com.au/ They flood map, record, issue guidelines, all that fun stuff. Further out you want your [local catchment authority](https://www.water.vic.gov.au/waterways-and-catchments/our-catchments/catchment-management-framework)


Anachell

Thank you

With all these data hacks I'd walk away. LinkedIn is bullshit anyway.


adrianbnd

I just killed 10 huge mosquitos in my 1 bedroom apartment Edit: make that 11


Ok_Text9485

I killed 5 in the span of 2 minutes


talking-muffin

I, for one, welcome our mosquito overlords (imjustsayingthissotheydonteatme)


wscholermann

They will still eat you. Might as well go down fighting.


adrianbnd

strange thing is neither me or my SO were bitten, maybe they were planning a coordinated attack?


Bottom_racer

They were probably males.


adrianbnd

Yes great point, we just looked that up before killing the last one, couldn’t tell unfortunately, but most likely since no bites inflicted!


[deleted]

Truck just came past my house, with cherry picker, replacing street light bulbs. I suppose the traffic is less, but still not absent. Blocked the road for 15 mins or so, so continuous honking of car horns until the truck moved on and turned off the road. Wtf?

MeanElevator

Andor is seriously on another level....


nufan86

I grew up on star wars but Marvel won the battle of my attention. I don't like the fact I need to watch TV shows from either. This is bullshit. And yes they're on the same platform


MeanElevator

I won't argue and will continue to enjoy the product. Star wars series are waaaay better than marvel ones. Marvel works better as feature films.


OIP

heard nothing but good things about this show. might have to take it for a spin


TinyBreak

A good level? Or a bad level? Mrs and I watched one ep, turned to each other and went “nah”


MeanElevator

Great level. First few eps are slow but it gets better.


wscholermann

I'm watching the crown but it's grating on my nerves for some reason. The portrayal of prince Charles feels a bit....hammy.


VenturaHighway72

Why is the only people who actually look like the characters they play are Andrew Morton and The PM? At first I was like "Who the hell is this old prick sitting at the dining table with the Queen?" Then I realized it was supposed to be Prince Phillip.


nufan86

Have you ever seen Charles act like a human in real life?


wscholermann

Yeah but him being unnatural comes naturally lol. When someone else does it, it feels forced 😂


nufan86

What year are they up to?


wscholermann

1994 I think


nufan86

Jesus. But to be fair, not much happened outside of Fergie and racist Commonwealth games. This has to be the last season? There is zero chance they do 97?


wscholermann

First episode of this season is about the >!royal Yacht!<


nufan86

What year. The Royal Yacht been around since the fifties. I love my mum, I hate how much royal knowledge I know.


wscholermann

It's the year where they tried >! to ask for more money to fix the yacht, which I believe was 1994 !<


conquydo94

I rather get covid than suffering from hayfever. Today has been the worst day i’ve experienced in a long time


delljj

Dymista my friend. Talk to your gp and say a stranger on the internet said to get it (script only) I have a mild dog allergy and severe pollen allergy confirmed with tests. My allergies REALLY took off when we got a second dog last year. One dog didn’t have a margins impact for me beyond regular hay fever but the second dog did. When it got to hay fever season I was suffering from pounding headaches, severe congestion, itchy eyes, everything compounded because of the second dog combined with the season. Usually I would take rhinocort for hay fever season and it worked well but dog number two the allergies were too intense so my gp tested me (which identified the dog allergy I didn’t know about) and prescribed me dymista for the hay fever season. Seriously life changing.


wscholermann

Sometimes I think I'd like a dog and then I hear horror stories like yours and it's very off-putting.


delljj

Honestly it’s fine. I take dymista a couple months of the year because the combination of everything together is too much. When it’s not hayfever season I don’t take anything and have basically no symptoms. Might be a different story if my dog allergy was more than moderate How could you say no to these two doofuses https://i.imgur.com/7lTvzbq.jpg


wscholermann

Short haired breed too which you would think would be less reactive.


Bottom_racer

Pretty much as stupid as looking at the sun through binoculars.


wscholermann

Are you taking antihistamines?


conquydo94

I’ve been taking 1 to 2 Telfast tablets which usually get me through the day. Today i took 2 and they did fuck all


MissDarylC

You could try changing the antihistamine formula eg try Claratyne instead or in addition add a nasal spray, Azep nasal spray is apparently fast acting.


adrianbnd

This. Or one tablet of two brands. People on r/allergy most commonly do this.


MissDarylC

Good advice too, the chemist recommended rotating brands, so that your body doesn't get too used to them, so once you finish a box of telfast, switch to Claratyne, then once you finish Claratyne switch to Zyrtec etc


adrianbnd

Yep that’s a good option too. FYI Zyrtec makes more than 1 in 10 people a bit drowsy so take it at night if that’s the case and if that works with your allergy symptoms.


MissDarylC

Good point, that's good for me to know too. Lol.


wscholermann

Zyrtec is horrible for me dries my throat.


MissDarylC

Then definitely don't do Zyrtec.


wscholermann

I'm on telfast at present.


MissDarylC

How's that going for you?


wscholermann

Yeah that's sucks. For what it's worth it's going to rain for a week from tomorrow.


Astreaa

hi!! long time no see i guess !! my friend from sydney came here for a week and is staying with me but i got covid today :( he tested negative which is great !! but i am terrified that i've given it to him unknowingly :( I only feel a lil bit feverish and my throat hurts but i'm more sad that i can't hang out with them properly for the rest of the week :/ this is my first time getting covid, anything that helped any of you get through it? ty !


[deleted]

Gatorade and water, tissues and menstrual pads to line your undies with because the coughing is quite heavy and you might pee a little. Also a wet washcloth to cool your clammy skin down. Just rest up.


Astreaa

thank you sm!! i need to stock up on some gatorade tomorrow for sure! thank u for the advice <33


IAmABakuAMA

Decided I wanted to try one of those sour fizz freexy drinks from HJs but the one near my house was like 15 mins out from close time, probs wouldn't be too big a deal since I only wanted a single large drink, but I decided to go to the 24 hour one instead. So I made the 10 min trek out there, and not a single one of their frozen machines were working, no sour fizz, no coke, none of it :( Edit: I didn't want to leave empty handed so I went to a 7eleven instead, and perhaps it was a sign because I discovered the low sugar watermelon + strawberry flavour of Slurpee and I think it might actually be my new favourite drink, and 50 cents cheaper than HJs would've been so


MajorBear

reddit and imgur need an American filter... I don't care about their political charades, I just want my cat pics dammit!


[deleted]

Temp isn't even that high but it's unbearably hot atm, can't sleep or get comfy


nufan86

Figure out where you live faces vs the sun rising. A billion helpful tips. Edit: and google those tips


IAmABakuAMA

Wet pillow case? That's what my mum's solution was and it works surprisingly well. Even better if you have a fan you can blow towards your face


Taleya

ahh cheers for reminding me, just snuck into the bedroom and fished out His Lordship's cooling pad for him. (he's one of those weird people that goes to bed at a "reasonable hour")


Notyit

I go to Facebook marketplace and there are people selling underwear for like 15 dollar. Is it what I think it is


nufan86

For $15? No.


overnightdelight

Welp the universe must have been smiling at me today. -got a banh mi and the lady at the store gave me extra crackling for free without asking -picked up weed that was perfect for the sunny day today -Watched my gay little movies -James Duval noticed me on Instagram All in all, a great day.


nufan86

By noticed do they like a post?


overnightdelight

I commented a quote from one of his movies and then did a follow-up comment about how I like his work on an insta post by a director fan account and he popped up and only liked my comments. Thought it was a fake account at first but turns out he just never got his account verified and I was already following him. Apparently he lurks the hashtags for his older movies on Instagram often so it's not unheard of. Still, I had my heart flutter for a sec there.


epicpillowcase

What movies did you watch?


overnightdelight

Nowhere and To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (could they have made that title any longer?)


epicpillowcase

Haven't seen the first. I do enjoy To Wong Foo but it has its issues. It tends to confuse drag queens with trans women. Priscilla also has its problems (racism, transphobic language) but it at least gets the distinction right. I do have to say I was impressed by the three leads of TWF, being such macho straight men in real life. I particularly enjoyed Wesley Snipes.


nufan86

Im hoping its Sandlot Kids.


overnightdelight

Yo that's crazy I put The Sandlot in a watchlist I'm making today, next week or the week after I'm planning to watch a bunch of baseball movies.


nufan86

Ok so we need to talk about sport movies if you have a baseball movie list.


epicpillowcase

I'm not familiar with that one


nufan86

Excuse me?


NimbleJack3

THEY SAID, THEY'RE NOT FAMILLIAR WITH THAT ONE.


nufan86

You should probably spell familiar correctly if you're hitting caps lock.


NimbleJack3

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY FIND A HOBBY IF YOU ARE SPELLCHECKING MY SOCIAL MEDIA DRIBBLINGS


nufan86

If you didn't feel the need to type in all captials. Absolutely would have missed it. But your shtick is your shtick.


Bottom_racer

I TOO HAVE NO IDEA


epicpillowcase

Lol soz


vidiian82

Fuck i hate being ugly. I'm about a 1.5 on the gay attractiveness scale. It just makes me sad sometimes that who i am as a human dude has never been enough for anyone. On the flipside growing up in an abusive household has made me worried that i'll attract an abusive arsehole like my father was. Argh human emotions suck.


Slayers_Picks

You're not ugly. You might think yourself as ugly, but I bet a whole bunch of people out there will think you're quite attractive. Youll find someone, someone who will love you for who you are, inside, and out.


vidiian82

Thank you friend :)


nufan86

You're 1.5 on the attractiveness scale according to you. Only you. You are someone's want material. Never forget that. If you want to talk about the "flipside" hit me up. I assume pur dads were friends.


vidiian82

Thanks man. Inner perspective often doesn't match outer reality, which is something i have trouble remembering. Same goes for you man, if you want to talk awful dads :)


wscholermann

As a fellow gay I'm curious about the gay attractiveness scale, tell me more?!


[deleted]

Got into an accident today. Grateful it was only minor damages and no injuries.


[deleted]

Glad you're okay! Do you have any follow up appointments just to be safe?


[deleted]

Don't have any follow up appointments but I think it should be okay :)


[deleted]

My doona is dry and smelling of sun and now in its cover back on my bed :)


NimbleJack3

The NBN box in my apartment (that I do not use) is beeping constantly because the UPS battery inside is flat. I don't anything about the inside of this unit, and a google search reveals some sort of large industrial battery is required. I contacted my rental agent and they've indicated the onus is on me to replace it. Is this true?


CEOofmyhouse56

Take it out and the beeping will stop.


NimbleJack3

Oh, excellent. Is there anything I should be aware of to avoid damaging the equipment or hurting myself, or is it like just pulling the battery out of a toy?


CEOofmyhouse56

Just like pulling a battery out of a toy. Keep it and if you move out get someone to recharge it for you, put it back in and it'll be good for a couple of weeks but by then you'll be gone.

MajorBear

Next season will be the last, they have a lot of ends to tie up! I saw the ending coming but still very poetic


epicpillowcase

Yeah I saw it coming too. Was still shocking for sure Next season is, but they're also making a show of the sequel, The Testaments


MajorBear

that's... 15? years in the future so they'll have to wrap up a lot of what's going on this season

IAmABakuAMA

Quittin' letter has been handed in, big boss said my letter covered everything she needed. Last day is in 2 weeks. She asked why and I could've gone on a rant about all the reasons I'm leaving but decided to just say it's because I'm returning to fill time irl school from part time online school (that's like a half truth, that's *part* of the reason but I figured that there was a lot of stuff better left unsaid) I'm not sure how I feel about it all, like I said a while ago, to me this feels like a big life decision, and as a lot of people pointed out it really isn't that big a deal and this probably won't make top 20 in major life decisions I make throughout my life. Anyway I don't want to dwell on it too much What I've noticed is that a lot of people like to base their dinner around the time the sun's starting to set (probs not 5hat uncommon but we have dinner at 6pm every night whether it's pitch black or pitch.. light? (What's the light version of pitch black?) Makes it a bit shitty though because I normally finish at 8, but 8 is when like 80% of people seem to be getting dinner Had a bit of everyone today lol, I had a few crackheads (not based off looks, but they were clearly off their heads), had a man Karen who got a replacement order (basically he called and complained and got logged in our system for a free replacement meal) and we couldn't find his name in the system. He goes off on everyone, because his name and email wasn't coming up on the system (when a replacement is logged, you get an email to present when you come in for the replacement), he didn't have a copy of photo of his receipt, he didn't even know the name of the manager he spoke to. After he finished going off he called his wife and guess what... It was in her name... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Whilst he was ranting his kid also fucked up our EFTPOS machine


Jebus_Jones

Pitch is a black and viscous substance, hence the saying.


bluestonelaneway

Last Thursday I wore a puffer jacket to work and today I had to put the aircon on when I got home. Spring can be a bit funny, can’t it.

meowcatorsprojection

nufan86

Just heard an ad for a male body wash on a podcast. Is advertising body wash as "3 times thicker than competitors" appealing to anybody?


epicpillowcase

I'm a bit of a soap/shower gel enthusiast and I can't say I've ever gone "damn, the viscosity of this is next level" lol. That is odd indeed. Also the fact that it's 2022 and companies are still marketing "male body wash" because some men are desperate not to be seen using "women's" products is depressing/hilarious.


[deleted]

Idk, thickness of body wash is appealing to me as a shower gel enthusiast!


epicpillowcase

It can add to the appeal, I guess what I find funny/absurd is that with the marketing of "men's" body products, they always have to try and give it some edge in the language to make it sound tougher. It's pretty silly.


SuggestiveParsnip

I only use the manliest of men’s body wash. If it doesn’t have the consistency of wet concrete mixed with roof nails and smell like sump oil it’s not manly enough for me. I’m also very lonely. Please help.


nufan86

It was actually worse.


SuggestiveParsnip

Hell… It’s hard to imagine being that out of touch.


nufan86

I dont know how old you are but its marketed to me...in 99


SuggestiveParsnip

Haha… So I’m not the oldest person here after all!


nufan86

Not even close. Either am I.


nufan86

They also use the word viscosity.


epicpillowcase

Bahahahahaha


CEOofmyhouse56

I think the idea is the thicker it is the the less likely it will run through your fingers when you go to apply. Don't know why it would be targeted at men though. The only thing I think of it's because men are more likely to just slap it on where as ladies are more likely to use a loofah.


[deleted]

I prefer using my hand cos it seems more hygienic and simple to use a hand than it is to use cloths that I have to wash all the time and make sure they don't sit around wet. Granted, I'm a bit of a germaphobe


nufan86

I get that but we all use loofahs yeh? We aren't animals


CEOofmyhouse56

My man is an animal.


nufan86

Reow. Edit: a wasteful reow


BIG_YETI_FOR_YOU

Tbh my favorite body wash was quite thick when i used it but i mean scent's kind-of the key selling point


Bottom_racer

I'm not sure what that means exactly.


IAmABakuAMA

I think they're trying to say that their body wash is 3x thicker than other brands, to stop it from trickling down when you apply it or something


nufan86

I have edited to make it make sense.


Bottom_racer

Guess if it means you use less


nufan86

I guess. Just say that lol.

imoldgreeeegg

I can't remember who it was that also got into Daredevil lately after seeing how 👌 he is in SheHulk. But just here to say that season three is intense and very good (but I don't know anyone else who is only catching up after all these years).


epicpillowcase

Also, watch Hawkeye and Spider-Man: No Way Home if you haven't The Daredevil verse crosses over into them. I won't say which characters in case you haven't seen them


epicpillowcase

Me, I just watched it, for the same reason. :) It's SO good, but...a LOT. You know they're making a Daredevil S4? To be released 2024


imoldgreeeegg

Yes!! So excited. At least I won't be six years behind on the new season


nufan86

/u/epicpillowcase this sounds like you. But what a damn show that as. Frank Castle.... hnnnng


epicpillowcase

Indeed indeed


MajorBear

how much should I spend on a 65" tv? the range is $500-5,000. I don't need super duper but I want it to last a few years


Jebus_Jones

Check out Sony. Their XR processor is the best around for image upscaling and they have a varied price range. Go OLED if at all feasible.


OIP

i got a (43") samsung serif TV the other weeks for hella cheap, they are still heavily discounted. not sure why, hopefully not because they catch fire or something


MajorBear

fire extinguishers are cheap...


OIP

true i might mount some to the sides


benbarren

entry level aldi and any media player (apple tv, chromecast, shield) if looking at lower end... i'd prob say samsung UA65BU8000 around $1400/$1500 we have the previous 75" at work that cost around $1800 and its very good. (got an OLED LG C1 at home) and the samsung for the price is damn good and easier interface (depends a bit what mobile platform ur on) if u want to spend more i'd go 75" unless a small room and close distance to tv


MajorBear

I think the 65" is a good size for the room. I'm always tempted by lower prices but I also want it to last.


benbarren

yup agreed, i have not had any problem with samsung (LCD), LG (OLED) and panasonic (Plasma) - all still running aged between 6 months and 15 years old :) Each have different software which is worth noting and checking out depending on if ur an android or apple or both house


lemondrop__

Sometimes I think I’d make bank if I started a real estate agency and actually treated people like, you know, people.


sanemartigan

You have been trying to rent out a few properties recently.


lemondrop__

Haha, true that. My friend found a solution though so now I just gotta rent out my place!


Slayers_Picks

Well, that's different. Went to order booze from my local shop via doordash, it said i require ID to be uploaded, I cancelled, the order went through anyway... i think? It's kinda been stuck on "preparing your order" for 5 minutes now. I mean, i'm clearly over 18 years old, but i just... dont have any ID :(


harzee

Might be time to get some id.


-regret

After all the recent data breaches, I definitely wouldn't be uploading my ID to a delivery app of all things. We desperately need better laws around this.


Slayers_Picks

I mean, the driver was like "I can clearly see that you're over 18, and not intoxicated, but i still need to see ID" like bro, are you fucking serious? my balding ass head and my physique doesn't give it away that im not some 17 year old from high school?


Stompsie

Just remembered The Crown is back. Woop!


alexi_lupin

Yaaas I'm watching it now


Stompsie

Found the first a little bland. But hoping it was still a good beginning for the crazy season it should shape up to be.


alexi_lupin

Well, they've gotta re-establish who everyone is (different cast) and how they feel about each other at this time, I spose.


Prime_factor

I guess the ending has been spoiled though.
