Same name here as on that other site. I talk about COVID, Australian anti-poverty matters, housing / renting, interesting science and IT stuff, & bad customer service. I like it when people post content about their pets and their dinners.

They've made this seat-deprived train pretty much unusable for the disabled during peak hours. There needs to be a roped off area of the train for access only by the disabled during peak hour, without crowding and with enough seats for us disabled folks to travel safely.

Seagull update: A Clarion correspondent has shared this video of a seagull on the roof of the Blavatnik, reporting that multiple seagulls had been playing with pebbles on the glass roof 'like basketball' (sound on), passing and dropping stones loudly for a week #wearealltheclarion

Funny me, but to me security would be keeping my money safe <<FOR>> me, not safe <<FROM>> me. Westpac's gotta stop this. I had an established pattern of transfers to this crypto exchange and has advocated for myself during a previous denial that generated an apology.

Fyi, I totally had the same problem, but losing out on 'only' $4000 of gains due to Westpac not letting me transfer money to a crypto exchange during a down period. It was the second time Westpac made this error on me in security's name. www.afr.com/technology/w...

Banging my back by dropping a glass sparkling water bottle over my shoulder and swinging helps clear out my lungs. Any "jolt" does, including a low jump with the determination to make a hard landing. Has to be repeated a half dozen times or so, though.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

It’s no longer safe for Australians to go to America. This is insane. We ALL have American friends. Mine are like family. Dear god.

I extended my holiday another day. Combining enjoying the great weather and it being physically required to do less per day than I planned, so I need another day to do a couple things.

Only the Green Party has spoken up on long covid. Labour promised to help clinically vulnerable and roll out clean air before they were elected. Now they have taken away more vaccines and done nothing. People are dying due to the lack of care on this.

Current Affair has a story of people whinging about bus traffic on an inner city street. Hello? You live in the inner city. With inner city life comes bus traffic if you're not living on a side street. Waterloo whingers, get over it. Check your privilege to not depend on those buses like others.

Hey Ross Lyon, if you are staying at the same hotel outside of the Adelaide CBD that many of your players are (that I am in as well), I'd love to get a selfie with you. Respect for your casual, non-tall-poppy attitude.
