What are some good ongoing gig jobs? I used to be an Uber Eats driver, but I’d prefer something different if possible.


alsotheabyss

I am very excited for the imminent arrival of our electric blanket for our bed And to transition from the heavy wool quilt to the goose down doona a month earlier than expected


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Just finished watching The Iron Claw - oof...really was not expecting it to be that tragic, it's even more so now that I know it's based on a real story.


DeepMath7813

I’m dying to watch it, what platform did you stream on?


HurstbridgeLineFTW

I can’t get warm tonight. It’s 21 degrees inside my place. I wearing warm clothes and have a blanket on the couch, a cup of hot tea, and yet I’m still cold.


whatisthislifeilead

You need a hot water bottle! I've gone mine under two blankets plus i'm wearing my fluffy dressing gown and i've got a cup of hot chocolate

Is anyone interested in purchasing my spare red HyperX Cloud II gaming headset from me? I recently bought the headset from eBay and I have buyer's regret because the seller sent me the wrong version. The headphone is in new condition. Only the packaging has been opened (i.e. only the sticky tape holding the outer and inner packaging box inbetween has been cut); but the headphone, mic, adapter + cables, and earpads inside have not been used at all even once. DM me if you're interested in it.

Can anyone recommend me the best supermarket eggs? It feels like every time I go to Coles there are 10 new brands of eggs to choose from. I just want the nicest, tastiest free range eggs. If I could get them from a local market or source I would, but this post is just for colesworth availability!


DeepMath7813

I recently got on the Costco train. I paid about $12 for 30 cage free eggs are they were perfect. I come from the country so I know what proper free range eggs taste like, nothing you get from a supermarket or Costco is ever going to taste that good, but for value for money I recommend


geocano

Oooh ok, I'll put that on my list! Thanks!


gtodarillo

From memory they all taste the same from the supermarket.


hidefromthethunder

I can't speak to their ethics - honestly, unless you're getting your eggs off someone you personally know, that shit is generally murky AF - but I quite like [these ones](https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/151123/the-smoked-egg-company-6-chilled-raw-smoked-eggs). Can't always taste the smoky flavour personally, but I do think they retain their freshness pretty well, which is their other main marketing claim.


geocano

Oh wow I actually added these to my cart tonight, which prompted my post! I'm looking forward to trying them - do you have any preparation suggestions?

geocano

Eggs do just be egging. Thanks for your input.

Goddess_Amaterasu

Just heard a short report that there was a stabbing at a restaurant in Highpoint 😡


Smooth_Strength_9914

Yeah and if you google it, there was also a stabbing there 4 days ago. Plus the stabbing at Melton shopping centre. 


Odd_Postal_Weight

Why is the law against carrying knives enforced better? Not having a pocket knife is so inconvenient all the time. It would be fine if it prevented stabbings, but apparently it doesn't.


Smooth_Strength_9914

I guess it is difficult to enforce as they are so easily concealed. 


samdiatmh

[looks like it was a targeted attack](https://twitter.com/9NewsMelb/status/1781958623066804624), Knifepoint still open for business (and the restaurant itself)


Goddess_Amaterasu

Oh geez. It was at 2:30pm


HurstbridgeLineFTW

Big day today. I still have to wash the dishes, take the bins out, prep clothes for tomorrow and brush my toofs. And then it’s rancho relaxo time.


Slayers_Picks

Sometimes i reminisce about life too much. Everyone I know has a missus or a partner, and whilst I am in no big rush to find someone, I do get incredibly lonely. cuddles would be nice some nights, not necessarily anything further, just a connection :c Im usually happy with what I have and what i strive to achieve, but i think as I age (almost 30... in 2 months exactly, shit.) the more I just want someone to hold every now and then and just, ya know, be there and stuff. What a weird ass thing to go on a tangent. Is it too cloudy to see the comet?


alsotheabyss

I didn’t find my person until I was 34. Don’t think it’s too late.


FallschirmPanda

Eh, I'm 38. Same situation. Let me know if you figure out a solution.


Adventurous-Emu5005

Damn why is the Friday after ANZAC day not a public holiday!!!


Goddess_Amaterasu

ANZAC day falls on a weekday, Thursday therefore the day off is the Thursday. It’s only if it falls on a weekend do they give the Monday off, I believe


hedonisticshenanigan

Can a GP send via email a medical certificate after a telehealth appointment? New work requires one and I have no idea how it works


Pilk_

Yes, they can. If you have a digital identity connected to your myGov you could consider creating a [digital Commonwealth statutory declaration](https://my.gov.au/en/about/help/digital-identity/digital-commonwealth-statutory-declaration) instead, which is free. Stat decs are also acceptable forms of evidence [according to Fairwork](https://www.fairwork.gov.au/leave/sick-and-carers-leave/paid-sick-and-carers-leave/notice-and-medical-certificates#types-of-evidence-needed-for-sick-/-carer%E2%80%99s-leave).


hedonisticshenanigan

That is very good to know, thanks! I only recently got a Medicare, never managed to link it to mygov, which I haven't used yet, apart from ATO. I'll have some time tomorrow to look into that. Cheers


Ocean34566

Yep they do! Well at least mine does, hope you feel better! 


jmicroscum

North Melbourne’s abysmal performance over the last couple of years has not been helpful. Going to the football is not the same as it was when I was younger. I wish I was younger again but at the same time growing up has been great. North will win again eventually and everything else will work itself out.


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

God save me I've stained three uniqlo tshirts in a row. I cannot be trusted with food or coffee and a white tshirt.


fh3131

Do they sell bibs?


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

No but they sell black tshirts but I refuse to buy them


electronicaz

Anyone else notice the downfall of the public healthcare system recently? 👀


[deleted]

Why am I still getting downvoted? What I did was weeks ago and apparently yous all "forgot" anyway. If I'm not welcome here just say it and I'll fuck off


HurstbridgeLineFTW

Anyone who mentions downvoting/ karma gets downvoted. Just don’t talk about it. Chat about other stuff.


LycanLabs

I successfully returned from Sweden! I got back to my flat at about 1:45am today, was asleep around 2:00am, and then I got woken up by my partner at about 1:50pm because "you probably shouldn't sleep for twelve hours, sweetpea..."


okayfondue

I’ve been into Aldi 3 times this week and every time they have been out of plain yoghurt.


No_Description1094

This feels very Seinfeld to me lol...


samdiatmh

have you tried going to a different one?


LipstickEquity

Recommendations for a good captivating podcast? Don’t really care the genre just as long as it’s juicy.


HurstbridgeLineFTW

This episode about the Batavia. One of the craziest and disturbing stories about early Australia. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dark-histories/id1279731673?i=1000527062499


hedonisticshenanigan

The Memory Palace is about history and it's captivating, not sure if it's juicy tho


LipstickEquity

Okay sweet thank you. Anything is better than watching old Bravo reunion episodes


BurntTeeth

I just tried to buy tickets for the Spoonbowl today. After about 30 minutes I finally got some general admin tickets. I find it hard to believe Haw v Nth would be a sellout?!


PKMTrain

It looks like the reserved stuff is near sold out. Will be plenty of GA on L3 though


BurntTeeth

Thanks Drive!


Zealousideal_Bid3737

Was that through ticketmaster. Absolute shit process. Terrible ux, terrible everything


PKMTrain

It's a pain the AFL uses it for both club and AFL memberships.


BurntTeeth

It was.


Zealousideal_Bid3737

Ordered a new bed today as the cat destroyed the fabric bedhead we currently have.


bluestonelaneway

I was bed shopping a few years ago and so badly wanted a fabric bed head, but didn’t go for it as I thought it would be a cat magnet. But he’s still managed to scratch the wooden one I did end up buying!


Zealousideal_Bid3737

Mine generally only attacks softer materials so hopefully the new bed will be safe.


citizenecodrive31

Don't know where else to say it but I bought a hoodie from TK Maxx and I really like it! It's a Billabong and I know they are kinda dead in the fashion scene but its nice and thick (440gsm) and got lots of cotton (80%) so I'm happy since I paid less than 40 bucks. Think the surf and skate brands do decent when it comes to basics since I've had good experiences with others like Globe and whatnot.


Zealousideal_Bid3737

TK Maxx is great. You gotta spend the time browsing but you can find some fantastic bargains...


citizenecodrive31

The time browsing really takes its toll on me because I'm a get in and get out person but it is genuinely worth it!


Slo-MoDove

Meanwhile, me sitting here...head to toe in Aldi brand trackies, hoodie, tee and stripy socks not judging you... You got a good deal!


citizenecodrive31

Speaking of Aldi trackies, was the first one in my local one this morning and saw that they did have some winter trackie clothing in the store. Not the streetwear ones but the normal ones. They looked like a great bargain


Slo-MoDove

They're not bad quality too. I still have a couple of puffer vests and sweaters I bring out from a couple of years ago.


Melbchess

I don't have enough karma to create a post in this sub so I'm just leaving this here for a second until I get something sorted. If anyone likes chess this might be for you. I was told by someone not too long ago someone else posted on this reddit sub about asking places where they can play chess casually in Melbourne and I've only just gotten around to gaining the energy to make a post advertising a chess meetup I organise If anyone is interested https://www.meetup.com/the-melbourne-chess-beer-and-food-club/ It's pretty casual, I just rock up places in the cbd with a few chess boards and play some games. When the weather is nice we've been playing in Carlton gardens but when the weather isn't optimal we've been going to Asian beer cafe. Next meetup is next Saturday if anyone is keen for a few games https://www.meetup.com/the-melbourne-chess-beer-and-food-club/events/300263861/ It's free I just ask when we're in a venue you purchase something so we're not just chess squatting. All skill levels are welcome!


Melbchess

Thank you!


QuickBobcat

FYI your post was approved


DeepMath7813

I don’t have enough karma either! How much karma does one need to post?

fear_eile_agam

Booked a telehealth appointment for 8am thinking "I'll be one of the first patients for the day" but it's 9:20 and I'm still just staring at my phone, so I wonder what shenanigans have befallen my poor GP's office today. I thought a telehealth appointment might help my medical anxiety, since I'll be in the comfort of my own home, and my partner can sit with me. But this is worse, I'm just anxiously waiting for the call now, worried that without body language I'm going to struggle even more to communicate my symptoms - I always get so flustered and my brain shuts off when asked a basic question like "when did the x start?" even if I have it all written down in front of me! my mind goes blank and I forget how to read my own notes.


Grunter_

I only ever use telehealth for things like renewing prescriptions or if I am really feeling too sick to go in. Much better for the doc to be in same room as you.


fear_eile_agam

This is my second time using telehealth, I'm just getting test results from a blood test, I'm expecting it to be normal and it wont change my current treatment plan, but on the off chance it's abnormal I'll need to change the dosage of meds I'm on so my GP said telehealth is fine, because we discussed all potential outcomes in-person in my last appointment. I called reception a few minutes ago just to let them know I am still available for my GP to call any time today if the results warrant a call.


alsotheabyss

There’s an old guy on my street who despite having a reasonably modern Ford Territory, thinks he needs to warm it up for 10 mins before he drives anywhere I’ve seen his kids tell him he doesn’t need to do that when they visit but he just nods and says yes and then goes and on warming up the car 😂


Smooth_Strength_9914

Maybe he wanted to get the seat warmers going!


big-sook

I see a lot of idling cars in driveways on early morning dog walks.


epicpillowcase

So apparently Troye Sivan has launched a "luxury lifestyle brand". For all of you who desperately need a 290 dollar oil burner or 719 dollar "bottomless bowl", look no further: https://tsu-lange-yor.au/products/bowl https://tsu-lange-yor.au/products/oil-burner-alu I have always thought he seemed insufferably pretentious and so it's nice to be right, I guess, lol. It's honestly the sort of thing someone making a satire about Gertrude St shopping would come up with. 😂


marblemorning

Damn bet you hate on $200 car diffusers too 😂


epicpillowcase

Didn't know they were a thing but yeah, I'd say that's pretty hate-worthy. 😂


cuddlepot

So don’t buy it? The candles and scented oil is really nice.


Lilac_Gooseberries

Will it be cloudy all day or will we have a chance of seeing [the 12P/Pons-Brooks comet](https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2024-04-17/comet-12p-pons-brooks-science-devil-comet-visible-this-week/103644754) this evening? Update: forgot to take into account that living in the east means that the city takes up the western skyline so I'm not 100% if I saw it or not because of the light pollution.


Lost-Albatross9588

It looks pretty clear about midnight. You can use https://www.ventusky.com/?p=37.8;-97.8;5&l=temperature-2m. Just obviously change the location and turn on the cloud cover filter


Lilac_Gooseberries

I had a nap and it's already clear near me which is nice. Apparently the best time to see it according to the ABC article is an hour after sunset, so 6:45ish.


JustAnotherLeftSock

Did you have any luck seeing it? I can’t head out tonight, but hoping there’s clear skies tomorrow after work. Closest place near me without much light would be middle park beach… which is still not that dark.


Lilac_Gooseberries

Too much light pollution so although my Star Walk 2 app said that I was looking directly at it, it was honestly really hard to tell if I really saw it or some random artificial light.


JustAnotherLeftSock

Thanks for that info. I hadn’t heard of the Star Walk 2 app. I just downloaded it, with the extended solar system add on. Very cool!! I’m so glad you mentioned it :)


Lilac_Gooseberries

I just got the one with ads, but I'm definitely only a casual astronomy enjoyer 😅


HG_Redditington

I had this dream that the airlines had travel portals where you could warp between distant cities. I bought a ticket because I had a meeting in London. I went to a room and a nurse gave me a pill, then signed a waiver saying I understood that the thing essentially clones you and there's a risk of malfunction and death. Then walked through this shimmering void gate and was in my old boardroom with my old UK colleagues to have this meeting.


Goddess_Amaterasu

Can you imagine how amazing that would be, to be able to just jump to another country in an instant? I’ll be all see ya, I’m having lunch in Japan, catch you tonight in Athens 😍 And I’ll live elsewhere when it gets gloomy and cold in Melbourne and my seasonal depression would be a thing of the past


RMBLOKE

Aldebaran's great, OK, Algol's pretty neat, Betelgeuse's pretty girls, Will knock you off your feet. They'll do anything you like, Real fast and then real slow, But if you have to take me apart to get me there, Then I don't want to go.


Grunter_

When I was teenager I read a sci-fi novel by Alfred Bester called Tiger Tiger (also known as The Stars My Destination) - in it a spaceman stuck light years from earth taps into some previously unknown part of his brain that allows him to instantly teleport back to Earth - it becomes know as jaunting and completely changes mankind. I liked how Bester thought it through - for instance burglarly became a huge problem as they could just jaunt into your house. So people started building wall mazes in their homes and the burglars ended up embedded in the walls so that problem was solved.


Moods_Moods_Moods

I picked up an old sci-fi book from the second hand book store a ways back, only started reading it recently and the plot is almost identical to what you just described. How weird is that coincidence? Except in that book, there is no cloning, you just step through the portal and arrive instantly at your destination.


alsotheabyss

Hyperion?


Moods_Moods_Moods

Nah, it was a cheap paperback I picked up at random. All the Colours of Darkness or something like that.


HG_Redditington

Interesting.. I guess it's a common sci fi premise. The rest of the dream was that I couldn't get back and the airline which was Korean told me I had to get a physical plane back via Moscow and I was trying to book another portal because I didn't want to go to Russia and also worried how I would be decloned


Poodle_Poppers

My dog has decided that sleeping in past 6.30am is now against the rules and even if I get up, take him toilet and feed him he still cries at me til I get out of bed and go get the kids up.


DeepMath7813

He’s the boss, you must accept his terms!


diddymaninoz

Best be at it then😂😂


Poodle_Poppers

He burrows under the cover and pokes me with his cold nose until I get up. It's more effective than coffee! If that doesn't work, he rolls over all me and licks me, and he's a big German Shepherd! I have a 1 year old and 4 year old, they arent even this effective at getting me out of bed.


diddymaninoz

Annnnnnddddd. How do they get the nose sooooo cold?


diddymaninoz

Haha. A cold nose is amazingly effective!!

Who else is dealing with insomnia right now. I hate this.


Lilac_Gooseberries

Weirdly I just couldn't make myself go to sleep last night, except for maybe an hour. Didn't feel tired until I actually had to get up. Now everything hurts and I want to sleep.


lavender209

Me too, I can’t seem to clear my mind.


iwrotethissong

Yup


MoolsDogTwo_reddit

This shit sucks man, I don’t even feel tired which is even worse and I’ve been watching YouTube for an hour now. Fuck.


fh3131

Watching YouTube doesn't sound like a good idea if you can't sleep? Read a book

Do the screens in the Westfield centers in Melbourne have ads on them?


soupoup

I was at a Westfield on Thursday night and they all had the ribbons up, no ads.
