>Your agent or self-managing landlord must offer Rental Bonds Online as the first option for lodgement of your rental bond.

If you haven't already, claim your bond back.

This doesn't necessarily mean you'll get it back, but it does mean the agent has to go to the tribunal to claim any money from your bond (which AFAIK costs them money to do). If their claims truly are excessive they'll be struck down.

Thanks for the link. I took some photos (not enough) when inspecting the place, but none from move-in day. I did not fill out a condition report (was not provided to me). Closest thing to that report was an in-person walkthrough with the landlord.

No photos when moving out, sadly. It slipped my brain in the rush. I think I took a video of all the rooms, but can't locate it.

Did anyone else help you clean when you moved out? If so, they can do a statement that you left the place clean for NCAT if it comes to a dispute.

As someone else said apply for the bond back through Fair Trading asap.

You need to be provided a condition report. Call NCAT or tenants union. You might get out of this easier than you think

Ooh good idea. Yeah a couple of people helped, so I'll get them to do that if it comes to the ncat tribunal.

I never got a condition report, nor a bond receipt, so I hope so! It's stressful enough as it is.

tl;dr Oh yes, you can. But it's big pharma advertising, profiteering and investor hype at this point AFAIK. Wait for evidence that it helps before signing up.

Some who should know what they are talking about think you are [probably wasting your time](https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/gene-testing-to-guide-antidepressant-treatment-has-its-time-arrived-2019100917964) and money on genetic testing snake oil with no evidence of benefit. That article is aging now, but AFAIK, safe depression treatment remains to a large extent an experimental art. Find a smart, observant old specialist would be my strategy. No mean feat.

Sounds like bs like those blood tests for diets. And sounds like bs cos there’s talk of similar thing for ADHD meds and those tests are bs.

Thanks for your reply!

Seconding your recommendation from experience. Started on fluoxetine, bounced around sertraline, mirtazapine, citalopram, and venlafaxine, and now settled on escitalopram.

It may be worth asking your GP to order some blood tests to spot any nutrient deficiencies. Found out a while back I was iron deficient which was making me tired as heck. Would've asked for a higher escitalopram dosage if my GP hadn't thought of that.

Ok, thanks so much for your reply.

I had a very unpleasant experience on Sertraline a few weeks ago, and I've been scared to go back onto it. I wanted to go to the hospital and didn't feel safe it was so bad.

I'm just about to try and get into a new GP so I am sure that bloods will happen anyway, but that is a very good idea. I have tried vit D supplements too which are helping a little I think. This winter exacerbated my depression significantly.

I was hoping for a short cut to "the one"! But fair enough

Yeah I wasn't a fan of sertraline either. Gave me nasty headaches. Mirtazapine was the worst for me though.

I'm curious, what was your dose of sertraline?

I was on 100mg, then up to 200mg per day - and stopping them too quickly caused chaos after 5-6 days. I immediately had to go back on 100mg/day and follow a better plan of action to come off them.

There's times when I feel like I should be back on the medication - but I'm not 100% sure if sertraline was the right one for me... ie it just took the edge off, not performed miracles...

You say you're scared to go back onto it - but I certainly wouldn't recommend just stopping if you've been taking it for a while.

Mine was 50mg per day, which I took in the morning. I was taking it for 3 days when I had a reaction. I then went straight off them, I should have weaned. I could break in half for a 25mg dose.

I wouldn't want to give you medical advice over reddit - and you should take all medical advice from the internet with a handful of salt - but at the same time, sertraline takes 4-6 weeks to be fully effective - so it may well not be related to the medication.

Certainly talk to your GP - and don't look at varying your dosage yourself. I made that mistake - and I wouldn't understate the effects. Never again. 3 days might not be enough to notice a large difference though...

While I was going onto the medication though, in the first 2-3 weeks I had very vivid dreams - which was quite interesting...

Probably a good idea, wonder how much it will cost.

There should also be an inquiry into whoever zoned flood plane areas for residential development.

Like every thing now days

We all pay

Please, tell us more

Cool story

Upvoted for visibility

Hi all,

I was just wondering since there are around 8 regions in NSW (northern rivers, Greater sydeny, etc) is there a government official that is in charge of a region or does the premier take care of it all.

cheers

Not specifically for each region. There’s electorate level, and then it scales up to a minister for (all of) Regional NSW. I think there’s a minister for Western Sydney too.

Tour de Gong

basically in some of my logbook i’ve had to scribble / wrote over the hours because i added them up wrong is this aloud ? i go for my ps in 2 months and don’t want to get knocked back because of it should i buy another log book ?

Shouldn't be an issue. If it's not a complete wreck.

Worst case pay for a new book and neatly copy it all across so the mess isn't there when they assess your book. $17 for a new one, from memory.

that’s the thing if i have to get a new book i’ll have to wait a few weeks until i can go for my ps which is what i’m trying to avoid

Is this the same if you’re log book is falling apart? I have all the pages

Why would you have to wait? You buy book, copy across in an hour, get it re signed, it's ready to go. What causes the weeks of waiting?

Advise the same - loose sheets could be rejected if it is all over the place. The cover sheet must be attached as it is the signed page from when it was issued.

Easier to buy and copy across and have a best record to present.

they make you re book your appointment if there’s anything wrong with the logbook especially if you have to re write it

You buy and refill before your test date and wouldn't have to rebook.

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED :))

soo i dont rmemeber exactly, but when i had tried to connect to detnsw, my phone came up with all these options to connect like 'EAP method: Select 'PEAP', 'Phase-2 authentication: Select 'MSCHAPV2' and either 'CA or User ceritifcate.'

im pretty sure that w the CA ceritifcate, there was an option to select 'none', and itd show 'none' in green though if i hadnt select 'none' (i dont think there was any other option apart from 'none) and left it blank, it would say 'none' in grey. i think id forgotten to select none and left it in grey, so i think i spammed the connect button or smth, which left it saying smth like wrong credentials or user? (i dont remember the exact words.) from then on, itd say: Timed out while joining "detnsw". Please try again later.

like fr. and i certainly always had my username as firstname.lastnameX@detnsw w the correct password that i use frequently. i went to like IT support at my school, yet they dont really fix phones. does anybody please know how i can connect to detnsw on my phone (laptop is completely fine)?

thanks anyways 🥲

Fuck detnsw wifi it’s shit anyway

I used to do IT in schools - what sort of phone?

Tell your phone to forget the network, then connect again.

firstname.lastnameX@detnsw is correct

If it asks,

PEAP

MSCHAPv2

and im super desperate so is there anyway to fix? like reseting phone orrr smthhh? or like idk detnsw legit blocked me basically like how do like get unblocked

the these stuff below were default like i didnt know what they meant until i searched up how to connect to detnsw after my timed out problem but these were ALWAYS set like below cuz they were defaulted and i didnt edit them:

EAP method: Select 'PEAP'

Phase-2 authentication: Select 'MSCHAPV2'

It always does my head in, I’ll need to look up how I did it to help you. In the meantime, are you a student or staff member? Can you ask your school for help? If a staff member there are teacher groups you can ask? It does vary slightly for students vs staff.

a bit late but if your school is close to a macca's or other shop with wi-fi and you get shit unblocked on top of that

lmaoo. but im low on data

Oppo A16.

ive tried forgetting and reconnecting, but it didnt fix it. even after a school holiday (2 weeks), i hadnt connected to detnsw at all when a fortnight is a lengthy time to 'try again later' in 'Timed out while joining "detnsw". Please try again later.'

im a student and have contacted my school's IT support but no luck. thanks

even after a school holiday (2 weeks), i hadnt connected to detnsw at all when a fortnight is a lengthy time to 'try again later' in 'Timed out while joining "detnsw". Please try again later.'

Glad it worked!

Hi all, very random question for this sub I’m sure.

I recently purchased a car (NSW) that has customised plates of which I do not like both the letters/numbers used as well as the style. Does anyone know if I am able to just order a set of “random” plates through service NSW? As in XXX-XXX in whatever random format that comes? I don’t want personalised plates on the vehicle but can’t find anywhere on myplates to make an order of a “randomised” plate

Thanks

You just walk into Service NSW with the plates and your rego papers. The concierge will tell you which form to fill out for the change of plates. The normal yellow ones are $45ish and the black on white slimline will be $110ish

You can get a generic black and yellow for $46 or whatever it is now, and then pay a one off fee to restyle in whatever style you want. That is how you'd get a random rego and no annual fee on the shiny plate style.

What is the personalised plate? It might be worth money for some other dropkick.

Custom plates will be costing you more every year, so just ask to swap them with normal NSW plates in yellow or black and white.

Thanks for that! Will head in tomorrow

Thanks so much!

After you’ve have the new plates and updated rego paper call you insurance (not green slip that gets auto updated) and let them know the new plate details

Ah yep thanks wouldn’t of thought of that. Do you know if there’ll be a wait time for the random plates or if I head in tomorrow will they just have a stack of them there ready to go?

They have them behind the counter, the only wait will be for your ticket number

And the toll companies.

Great! Again thanks for taking the time to answer

"could"

man here in australia have made many of our natives species extinct by bulldozing down all trees for real estates etc etc farmers as well and cattle men { and allowing poisons into the creeks }..should be a law NOW that heaps of trees be left with each new estate farm etc etc ..australia cant continue on their destructive path
