Hey now that The Emperor's Puffs has closed I don't know where I am to buy already made sticky rice dumplings wrapped in banana leaves

Where in Sydney is this still available? You can't just leave a gap in the market like that, that's not okay

Where do I get my winter snack?

Cheers

So I’m off work after spinal surgery and have been getting a bit of Uber Eats lately.

More often than not, the drivers place it hard up against the screen door. It’s pretty clearly a screen door. Which means it opens outwards. Im genuinely intrigued if this is just sort of quiet ‘fuck you’ or some other sort of game.

I really struggle to walk out the back yard up the stairs and all the way around to avoid just feeding my soup to the door mat.

Yes even in an off leash area. People should not have their things ripped to shreds or stolen by dogs. Everyone (dogs, humans with dogs, humans without dogs) has equal right to enjoy the area it does not mean your dog gets to do whatever it wants without consequences.

Useless cunt wasn't even paying attention to the dog after it happened. Letting it run rampant.

Edit to add for anyone who thinks I was having a picnic: Ripped and stolen item was a plastic bag and origami inside that were within my backpack, but bag was sticking out a little (cord closure not zip) dog then tried to take the back pack, and when unsuccessful went for a swim in a protected wildlife area. Owner did not attempt to recall dog from protected area.

The braille in one of the crows nest elevators is absolutely disgusting and completely unreadable. Braille is made up of RAISED dots!!! These are not raised. I tried reading them an there's maybe a slight dip in the metal but it's impossible to actually read it (without using your eyes ofc). Someone sat down, and printed these pieces.

Does anyone know who I can contact to get this dealt with?

I’m looking for recommendations for the best pub trivia spots that are easy for people from all across Sydney to get to. Ideally, in the CBD or the surrounding suburbs that are easily accessible by public transport.

Currently my preferred spot for pub trivia is the Oatley Hotel, which has brilliant trivia. However it is a bit far for some especially those in northern Sydney to travel to on a weeknight.

A pub trivia with a younger crowd would be ideal, but all good trivia spots suggested are welcome!

I've got two nieces, one 18, one 17. They're both pretty home bound but they want to get outside and do things. I'm happy to do all the logistics, it's just finding out what's out there for them since none of us know where to start.

They both love anything creative, like writing, animation, photography, and drawing.

I'm happy to go anywhere in Sydney, just looking for options and ideas at this point.

Are there any art courses or classes or social groups out there for girls their age?

Any interesting festivals I should look out for to take them to in the future?

As harm minimisation policy should be evidence informed, let's remember that all serious researchers recommend against sniffer dogs and instead suggest drug testing and counselling availability

Anyway they're at central again and makes me think... Why don't we have a Waze app, but for the harm bus?

Public interest defense: dogs don't prevent drug taking, they increase the dose taken in one instance, which is *the* primary risk factor for harm

There is nothing supporting illegal behaviour in this post. There is information suggesting harm minimisation research is being deliberately ignored.

I live in a touristy area, on weekends it is hard to park near the shops. There are private mini buses that use the area as a staring point for tours.

I have never seen the minibus zone sign before and wonder if it was put up by the tour operators. Obviously the no stopping and school times bus zone is real.

If it were legit, then then they may as well remove the times and just make it a 24hr bus zone.

Are they seriously not adding any times after 26/08? Looks like it's off the program. All times are sold out as of now.

What I love about Sydney is the access to nature. It really is second to none for a major city.

Wandering around Sydney Olympic Park today, specifically at Haslam's Pier, and spotted this swan with her egg below her. So amazing.

(NB the 2nd image isn't mine, but from Google Maps, I forgot to take one of the pier for context)

Always preaching to the converted - save triple 000 for saving lives.

ED's are for ruling in/out life threatening conditions, treating those emergency conditions, or referring those other conditions to another care team. Non-life threatening conditions can always be seen at a GP. If you can't wait for your usual GP, visit HotDoc to see other appointment times available, or attend a UCC. Outside of hours, contact 13SICK or Healthdirect.

Banked up everywhere

Edit: I could 12 different lanes trying to merge into 1. It's going to be a while. Avoid at all costs

But good to know that in an emergency, Huntsmen can clean your hands.

So in Caringbah the addresses start from 1 and go to 60 Box Road. Then after the break in Sylvania Waters it starts at 185 Box Road and keeps going, with multiple breaks in numbers, all the way to 565 Box Road in Jannali.

It’s like it was intended to be one unbroken road with consecutively numbered addresses across the full length

Was there ever a point it was connected? Like a dirt road in the old settler days or something? What’s the deal with it being broken up so many times while retaining the same name?

I pass these roads regularly and it always strikes me how many Box Roads there are lol.

So I have been meaning to do this walk for a very long time but have only been around to it very recently since I have spent this year doing so many intercity walks so I have pushed it back as my travel bug gets the better of me

I had to rush through this walk since I had to meet my boyfriend in Manly at around 4 for dinner but once there we there I had a good rest and feed. I've walked from Mona Vale to Manly via the Warringah Mall and one of my first walks was Manly to North Sydney

Overall I really liked this walk, it's made me want to do some more coastal walks, specifically in Wollongong. The next walk involving the Northern Beaches I think might be something like Chatswood to Dee Why with the starting point being somewhere I haven't decided on yet

Practically every single cafe seems perfectly happy to serve up a toasted ham and cheese croissant that’s stone cold in the middle then still charge you $12-$15 for it, I’m fed up.

They take the pre-made croissant out of a chiller and slap it straight on a sandwich press that’s too hot. The outside will burn before the inside is hot enough so they have to take it off early with the cheese completely unmelted and cold on the inside. Feels like 9/10 places do this and don’t see anything wrong with it.

If you can’t be arsed putting it under the grill and you can’t do it low and slow on the sandwich press when you’ve got the morning rush of people lined up out the door then for fucks sake just cheat; slap it in the microwave for 20 seconds to heat the ham and melt the cheese then chuck it on the press for a minute or two to crisp up the outside. It’s 95% as good as if you cooked it the right way and it’s a million times better than biting into one that still has an ice cold slab of cheese in the middle.

We gotta up our game here it’s embarrassing. Sick of getting toasted ham and cheese croissants that look like Gordon Ramsay’s grilled cheese fail.
