So I’m watching a Pattaya 4k walking video on YouTube. Honestly I just find these working girls on the streets in next to nothing quite sad.

Small tiles in a bathroom might look cute but if you are the one cleaning I’d suggest staying right away from it or else cleaning is going to be a bitch.

I would say yes, but then again I’m irresponsible lol.
Where do you want to go?

When the snow is dry and powdery in texture it’s pretty cool. But it’s one of those things where you see it once you don’t need to see it again.

I for one am glad you are quitting outright. It’s the best thing for your health and your wallet.

I like dogs but the fact is I’m allergic to them. And my allergies to cats are exponentially worse.
For some reason I’ve been blessed with a hyperactive immune system. Spring as you can imagine is a real bitch. But I must say my symptoms are not nearly as bad now as they were when I was a kid.

Torrenting? I am completely and totally unfamiliar with the term. All media I consume is done so through legitimate means. No copyright infringement here.

To rent furiosa on YouTube is 29.99 AUD. Are you for fucking real?

Not necessarily. Maybe it was just a badly designed website.

My machine has a special handwash cycle. It’s quite convenient.

It doesn’t really feel that cold to me inside.

Melbourne airport management " rail link? Nah. Fix international arrivals? Nah. New hotel? Sure!"
Honestly this state is a joke at times.

Give it a few days. If it’s not getting better reach out to a health care professional.

I enjoyed the first one. I wouldn’t describe Beetlejuice as horror. Not strictly anyway. Maybe fantasy comedy with a splash of horror.

After seeing the trailer for Beetlejuice 2 I have a gut feeling I’m going to be underwhelmed.

It’s cool outside but it’s sunny so this is manageable for me.

I know objectively it’s not warm and yet it doesn’t feel that cold? And my windows didn’t fog up like nobodies business cooking either.

In terms of tourism probably one of the few legitimate sights of interest.

I hung some of mine out last and some this morning. I’m not super confident it’s going to fully dry today. Maybe by the end of tomorrow provided the sun holds up.

Looking at my energy usage it’s clear my hot water system is the biggest user of energy.

How many years ago we talking? (just curious).

Hmm I disagree. There’s many restaurants in tourist areas that have excellent food. Western food is of course more expensive than local food, but still a hell of a lot cheaper than AU.

So I’m watching YouTubers that are travelling in northern Australia. At one particular site they paid 80 dollars at a campsite for the privilege of pitching a tent.
In many SE Asia countries you could get a very nice 4 star hotel room for that price, usually with a nice breakfast included.
And people wonder why people don’t do tourism in Australia.

In reality you should take two cards on your trip just in case you lose one, or one doesn’t work.
For me I used my ING card, which provides 100% full fee rebate on the first 5 eligible fee incurring ATM withdrawal transactions made on the account in that month (excludes International ATM operator fees).
My second card was a wise card. You can load the currency you want on the card and use wise set exchange rate, which is very reasonable. In terms of fees, each calendar month you have a free withdrawal allowance (varies by currency and country) — you can withdraw money up to that amount without any variable fees .
A variable fee changes based on how much you withdraw (and the country). For example, if your card was issued in the EEA, your card has a 1.75% variable fee. If you withdraw 100 EUR, then the variable fee would be 1.75 EUR.
Wise charge the variable fee for every withdrawal on your Wise card over your monthly allowance, regardless of how many times you made a withdrawal that month.
In all cases, often the biggest fee is the foreign atm charging like a wounded bull that your financial institution has no control over (I’m looking at you Thailand and your 7 dollar withdrawal fees).
Something else to be aware of is Aussie banks rejecting foreign transactions. Recently overseas I tried to pay for a hotel with an ING card and ING kept rejecting the payment despite me telling them I was overseas. In this scenario I used my Wise Card instead and all was good, so just be aware that Australian Banks in general can be really annoying when you are overseas.

Today’s society seems to consist of an awful lot of whinging over either current or historical matters.
At some point whinging needs to turn into action.
