1d5f2t8 | Definitely, it’s bizarre. I live near McKinnon but am in the Glen Eira College zone and the socioeconomic demographics between the two areas are pretty much identical but McKinnon is seen as something to aspire to while Glen Eira is (generally) seen as “good enough”. I don’t get it.
Australia’s education system is so messed up in so many ways but the most appalling aspect of our education system is this class divide that only seems to be worsening. Private schools receiving government funding is sickening, then even within the public system there are gross inequities. The whole thing needs a massive shake up but of course that won’t happen because people are terrified of acknowledging the issues within the education system, let alone actually doing something about said issues.
Rant over, I’ve been pissed about all of this since I finished high school nearly ten years ago lol | 1 |

1cza07d | When my kids are here: Dinner table. We eat as a family. Rarely unless it’s a special night on the couch.
When they aren’t, mostly on the couch with my feet up watching tv. It makes me feel like a grownup making my own damn decisions | 0 |

1d3j26m | This is some of the most brain dead, ill-informed content I’ve seen for a while. Australia makes next to no money selling coal domestically, it’s pretty much all exported. Why would domestic nuclear policy have any bearing on our coal exports, or the amount of money made by our domestic coal industry? | 1 |
1d6ac89 | Oh man, I moved interstate, and I have no idea what the rules are anymore, my kids got told we don't play like that here | 0 |
1cszxwq | Kos is one of the few prominent voices in the media today who has a lived experience of poverty. To say that all he cares about is Labor winning the election is nonsense and fundamentally misunderstands the man. He’s a good person and I wish we had more people in Labor and the media like him. | 0 |

1d3bq1f | No, it's not rude. But it's hard if you're not used to confrontation.
I think given enough time you eventually live next to dickheads. I think the best method to deal with them is to start a fight between them and another dickhead in the street, so that they take it out on each other.
I had an idea on how to do that. What you do is wait until their bin is emptied, and then fill it up with trash (the stinkier the better). Then you add some identifying piece of information, like a magazine subscription header or a letter, that points to the other dickhead neighbour. Then those two battle it out | 1 |

1d5ddnc | It doesn't have a pool table, but The Gem in Collingwood definitely has the visual aesthetic you're going for. It doesn't have a country theme per se, but Labour in Vain in Fitzroy has a pool table and an old bar/pub type look and vibe. Lulie Tavern in Abbotsford is definitely going for the American/western flavoured thing and has a pool table, but is a bit more done up and not really divey but it might work. | 0 |

1cwcri9 | >removing a book inappropriately put in the two year old section
This has nothing to do with where the book was located. They wanted it removed from the libraries.
"Cr Christou, who moved the amendment to **ban children's books on same-sex parenting and families** in its eight public libraries, said it was inappropriate"
One of the core features of libraries and, in my experience a point of pride to librarians, is that books be provided free of charge and free of censorship.
"The International Federation of Library Associations states that censorship "**runs counter to Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights**". Libraries are expected to: Provide collections and services that are free of intentional censorship."
Pro-censorship activism was bad enough when businesses were being targeted by sad, hand-wringing, Saturday morning protesters. It has no place in our libraries. | 0 |

1d58djq | Hey. Thanks for the reply. It's nice to know you can get out. Hopefully I can find something as well.
I'm not sure that there are many extra responsibilities I can take on. I've worked for my current company for over half my working life and I've worked in every department, including a stint as a supervisor that lasted for just over a year.
I love to learn new things, and I think that's part of the reason I'm so desperate to get out, I feel like I've hit a brick wall of all that I can learn. That and the managers are kinda impossible to deal with currently. This is also combined with how shitty people are post COVID. Which is why I don't want to just get a similar job in another company. I want to get out of retail all together.
Working in the companies head office would be ideal as it's a part of the company I haven't worked in yet, but unfortunately it's located in Melbourne.
I've got a mortgage that I share with someone and am responsible for helping take care of an elderly family member. So relocating is not possible with my current circumstances.
My brother says my issue is that I don't talk up the skills I have enough, and your reply kinda reinforced that that is something that is definitely needed. So I might pass my resume around to different family members before I do my next bulk apply. | 0 |
1d4hwzs | From reading many of the comments it seems that the system is fucked. | 0 |
1d2y11s | With furniture and home items, my style is mid century/vintage and definitely Australian made. Obviously second-hand too, which is better for the environment.
Most of my clothes are also preloved, but I would never purchase any fast fashion brands and I do like to know where they were made. As another person mentioned Ugg boots, I do buy the original Australian ones.
With food, it can get trickier beyond the local greengrocer & in-season fruit & veg. (I’m vegetarian, so that cuts the butcher out). I will read labels, but also consider the company that made it. Nestlé and the brands they own won’t get my money. | 0 |

1d2v7da | We had pantry mites spread through our pantry while we were on holiday. Came back and had to clean out the entire pantry, throw out $120 worth of food/spices/ingredients, and wipe everything down. We also sprayed insect killer in the pantry and left the doors closed for 10 mins. Found a bunch of little mites that had been hiding where the shelves attached to the walls. Repeated the cleaning process again two weeks later to get the next round of eggs that had hatched. Haven’t had any problems since. | 0 |

1d2tgir | Developers are easy to understand.
1. Getting planning approvals doesn't nessecaily mean they are in the position to build. They often do this to increase the value of their equality to borrow again to to upsell. Both of which maximise their profit.
2. If competition is low and prices are rising, this will encourage a lot to hold back developments to maximise their profit
3. If material costs are high but appear to be dropping they will hold back their development to maximise their profit.
Councils approving more planning and building permits isn't the only thing they can do to increase supply.
They have the power to produce proposals to rezone land in their municipality to get approved by the planning minister.
This will introduce much needed upzoned land competition. The type of competition that sends a shiver up the spines of the developers who think holding will result in higher returns.
This is what is lacking in the majority of councils across this country. They simply don't rezone enough land to result in the supply we need. | 0 |

1cvgxg1 | The fact that albo has grown up with the experiences he had (single parent growing up poor in public housing etc) and is refusing to do more than tinker around the edges of any of issues we experience today is even more despicable than the liberals. At least with the liberals they despise poor people and are honest about it to the public. Albos done nothing to deserve a second term and I think the country will be better off once we get a minority government who can drag labour kicking and screaming into doing something | 1 |

1d605km | Isn’t this all a bit irrelevant?
Hamer has already won preselection?
If you want to override the process to bring back a divisive candidate who already lost to the incumbent, then they really do want to lose. Not to mention the optics of taking out a young female candidate for a washed up male. | 1 |

1d52gio | They'll be quiet in Melbourne because it will probably be 15 degrees and not many go to the beach in that weather. The water will be around 12 degrees in the bay and around 14 in the ocean, so very few swim. | 0 |
1d59lcc | We used to be. We are not any more. | 0 |
1cuq695 | I wonder what questions they asked. If they just asked "is housing affordability and issue" then of course they are going to get results that suggest that it is. Not saying it isn't an issue, but, conveniently, it isn't an issue that can be easily fixed without alienating some part of the voting public, although it would be easy for an opposition to promise to fix it and then deliver nothing - much like the previous mob did.
This is a slow drip feed of unresolvable issues e.g. immigration, university funding, NDIS, etc which the libs will take to the next election and try to BS their way back in again to shift the rorts back in their favour.
Also margin of error was 3.4% which means not much has changed since the last poll when you look at the previous results. | 0 |
1d1ngrk | It is always better to go for a job when you are working, now here is the catch 22 I realize. I used to manage an op-shop and there are a number of times I have given a reference for a volunteer, they always got the job. My suggestion is to volunteer at an op-shop, work hard when you are on shift and then ask the manager after you have been there for a while for a reference when you apply for retail positions. Added benefit, it can be fun volunteering especially at op-shops and they are always needing volunteers. | 0 |
1csf15u | Australia is basically like Saudi Arabia, but we ban videos our politicians don't like instead of chopping journos to bits.
Yes, we have lots of resources, but that's just dumb luck.
Yes, we have very "productive" workers, because we're selling to Australians (who have lots of money - see the resources) and competing with other Australians, and we are protected by Australian regulations.
The only PMs to really have an issue with this were Paul Keating. | 1 |
1d1s7yi | The Space Shuttle was dealing with ordinary physical problems like two pipes making a good seal with each-other, and the fact that hydrogen atoms are so small they will actually leak out through a crystalline metal structure. That's physics.
No, we cannot make electrolysis more efficient than 1.6 units of electricity producing 1 unit of stored hydrogen energy.
* It requires 237kJ/mol to disassociate H2O into H2 and O2. \[ That's the absolute theoretical minimum.
* Burning hydrogen with oxygen releases 286kj/mol of heat energy \[
* Thus, the theoretical maximum is requiring 1.2 units of electricity to produce 1 unit of stored hydrogen energy
* In practice, as the water electrolysis article will demonstrate, and the simple fact that heat engines are never 100% efficient (or we'd have 250% more energy from coal and gas-fired power stations than we do now), if we get 1.6:1 we're doing well.
* This ratio inevitably becomes worse because it requires energy to pressurise and refrigerate the hydrogen, since this requires 50kj/mol \[
* and liquid hydrogen boils off during storage at a rate of 1-5%/day \[ibid\]
Again, it only makes energy sense if we have a massive surplus of renewable energy. But then if we have a massive surplus of renewable energy we don't need to store it, and don't have to store it in hydrogen or batteries, we can just waste it - unplug the solar PV, let the wind turbines spin without turning the turbines, and so on.
It's simply a money-grab by mining companies from government, and a way to delay action on reducing fossil fuel consumption. Even nuclear is more sensible than hydrogen, and nuclear is a total subsidy suck which in around half the countries it's been instituted was a cover for a nuclear weapons programme. | 0 |
