      Haha, are you sure? I mean they were everywhere after that.

      Kind of like punch buggy after I left. 😂

  Is it OK to drink the water in New Zealand because I once drank the “island water” on Hamilton Island and I was very crook that night.

  • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Totally fine!

      Wonderful thank you.

    Urban areas are fine. There should be signs indicating you can’t drink tap water if you go rural. Afaik

  None of the parcels have arrived or really been updated. The 3 I ordered from Kmart nearly a fortnight ago, are still sitting as “in transit” in my suburb, and have been since Tuesday. The one from NBN Sydney I think got confused when I redirected it. Express posted from Sydney, arrived in Melbourne like 15 hours later, then sat around as “held at facility - in transit redirect” at the LPO in the suburb of the new house for 3 days, then got sent to Dandenong South, then from Dandenong South to sunshine yesterday, and hasn’t moved as yet

  The 3 from China were attempted delivery on Friday, but apparently Amjad from the mad cow Express tried to deliver it for the 1 hour I was out on Friday with the gate shut, so took it back to “MEL_DC-01”. There was also a sneaky last parcel I got off eBay, it was specifically marked Australian stock, shipping from wheelers Hill. Wheelers Hill my fucking arse. It’s been a week without the tracking marking it received by the post office. 100% a dropship from China

  (I know that seems like a lot of parcels, but the 3 Kmarts were all from the same order but they decided to ship everything individually from different stores. The 3 AliExpress ones were for a project, but all sent individually. And the NBN one was a connection device replacement, so I didn’t pay for it. The eBay was for the same project cause I couldn’t find a trustworthy seller on AliExpress)

    Christmas parcel rampup. Everything is being flung from sorting centre to sorting centre as they try and load balance the volume

    Dandy is running 24hrs at present. Sunshine isn’t, but is on all 7 days. ‘Somewhere else’ tried banning the staff from having zooper doopers in the heat last week. They can fuck right off.

    source

    • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Crikey. Even my primary school saw the merits in Zooper doopers on hot days (that is selling them at the canteen for 65 cents on hot days only)!

  Question: my new house has bayonet lightbulb fittings. That much I know. I can’t work out if they’re B22 or B15s though, and neither the bulb or fitting seem to say

  It’s probably a B22 being connected to the mains, and mounted in the roof, right? B15s are almost exclusively lamp fittings, I think? Safe assumption to make?

  source

  • Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    They’ll be B22.

  Ok maybe I retract my de-shitlisting of BoM. I tried to verify my ID again online, and apparently they couldn’t verify it so now I’ve lost the privilege, they’ve flagged my account, and I have to go into a branch

  Oh, also, somebody decided to close nearly every fucking BoM branch in the country, including the one that would’ve been my local. So cheers for that boys

    Banks are awful. Constantly closing branches all while making record profits. It doesn’t help that ID has to be verified in person at a bank

    So hard to get to one and if you’re working full time good luck on that.

  Sunlight and physical activity is supposed to fix my sleeping pattern 😒 What gives?

  I’m doing some washing hoping the neighbours don’t hear it and sweeping the carpet. It’s harder than the vacuum but a lot quieter. Then tomorrow I can possibly go over for any finer dust that got missed.

  Then once again I confront the kitchen… I’m tempted to just order that bench top dishwasher straight to my house right now but afraid it might get stolen.

  source

  • Baku@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    If you’ve got the finances to, I say absolutely go for it and buy that benchtop dishwasher. Someone yesterday suggested appliances online, and that’s actually who my dryer is coming through. According to their policies, they require your ID and card (or at least an ID with the same name as on the card) to be presented before they’ll deliver it, and they won’t leave it. Oh, also, you get to choose a specific delivery day at no cost, so you could line it up for the next day you’re at home. (I think they also said they’ll call you with a few hours timeslot on the day of the delivery, so although you don’t get to choose and can’t plan around it, you wouldn’t necessarily have to be home the whole day)

    Unless you’re worried about somebody breaking in and stealing it. That I cant help with, unless your landlord wouldn’t get shitty at you for bolting it onto the bench with some kind of anti theft system that’d probably cost the same price as the dishwasher

      Ah yeah I still need to sort new id.

      I’m sure given the chance some would. But I’m mainly thinking porch pirates
