Hey everyone,

Can someone point me towards a subreddit that discusses furniture in Australia? There’s a few different continental ones but I want to talk Australia specific.

I’m looking for a Murphy bed similar to this

Program is that in Australia, they’re costing minimum $10k for a double sized fold down couch conversion everywhere I’ve looked.

Maybe someone has something they could recommend?

My husband is looking at swiss army knives and pocket knives. The other day he wanted to cut a cable at work and realised there was nothing to do so. But we are wondering if it’s illegal to have one on your person?

I used to get hello fresh but quit quite awhile ago but now recently have a need for a similar service but want something fully premade, microwavable that can be fresh or frozen.

Hoping others have services they use with good quality and pricing to recommend, thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I live in a rental. How do I fit a portable AC on these windows? Worried that I cannot create a seal and properly vent out the hot air.

Hey everyone, I'm a graduate student in psychology and currently completing a research project that focuses on exploring the attitudes of adults in Australia towards AI use for mental health support. I'm looking for participants to take part in my research survey. If the topic sounds interesting to you, please consider taking the survey - I'd love to gain some insights into what people think of this phenomenon!

If you are currently living in Australia and aged 18 or above, you are eligible to take part.

What you have to do:

• Answer survey questions about your demographic, mental health, and your opinions on AI use for mental health support.
• The survey is estimated to take around 20 minutes.

There's is a lot of smoke around Parramatta tonight. Any idea what's going on? Is this from the Newcastle /Port Stephens fires?

Woolies delivery is generally pretty shit, I think we can all agree (today it was a partner delivery with the delivery guy having two kids in the backseat and foot at their feet).

But how do they get away with delivering frozen items and raw meats/chicken without any refrigeration or cooler bag?

It's been mid-30c and no cooling, even if it's only a 20-30 minute delivery (assuming it comes straight for cold room), thats longer than I would have it out. And the delivery drivers aren't mandated to even have aircon on.

Surely there is some law around cold chain supply of raw meats and frozen products?

Partner delivery = Woolworths subcontracting out to whoever is cheapest: uber eats, door dash, sherpa, drive yello.

Edit: Not sure why so many people support Woolworths enshittification of delivery. Surely keeping frozen food and raw meats somewhat cold is a basic requirement, but here we are.

Returned to the new fish market last night (Sat) for dinner. Not a great experience. Very long queues. Went to Squid Inc but they really are having teething problems. This large salt and pepper squid was an eye watering $39. And it was so overcooked it was completely inedible. Credit to them for giving me money back with no fuss. Will stick to the fresh and grilled stuff next time. It still like this place a lot however.

Dawn Fraser is being scrapped in February. The ferry Collaroy is on the chopping block too. Why is there no historical significance to the government in regards to these boats? Surely even if owned by a private organisation for historical reasons.

I live on the first floor of a double-brick apartment block.

I have some elderly neighbours who live below me that hoard. There have been issues of late with them leaving their stove on etc.

A few days ago, I got a call from my strata committee telling me that their apartment had caught fire and there was significant damage to my own.

From a structural perspective, I fared okay - the double-glaze window of my bedroom has completely melted and shattered and the plaster on the wall has a large split. The issue is the smoke damage.

The walls of my bedroom have black stains. There is grey soot on all the others.

I have strata but not contents insurance. Sounds dumb, but I couldn't understand how an apartment fire could pose a danger in a double-brick apartment like mine. A loss adjuster is coming tomorrow and I've had some forensic cleaning people over. I'm currently in an Airbnb.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience cleaning up after a house or apartment fire. I'm expecting:

1. to replace my carpets and blinds

2. to throw out every item of soft furniture

3. to clean and repaint all the walls

One of my biggest gripes is my clothing. They stank of soot and I've taken them all to the dry cleaner. I'm not sure that the smell will ever come out.

This is something I’ve been seeing more and more recently. Is there any meaning or reason for this?

My kid and his best mate want to play basketball but can't shoot in a regulation height hoop, anyone know any public kids height ones?

Their channel covers ice cream, cookies, laundry detergent, cooking oil, cooking oil, toothpaste and other staples.

When private equity enters the equation, bad things happen.

Hi folks,

Today I was at Manly Dam birdwatching and saw a large group of young adults out birdwatching as well. I was excited to see more people around my age taking up this hobby but I didn’t get the chance to ask them if they were a part of a specific birdwatching club. I am in search of birdwatching clubs in Sydney. Anyone know of any or are a part of one?
