I mean, it’s an excellent cafe. The back of house staff are all the same. I’ve also done some digging, and as I suspected, the owners have a bunch of cafes around Melbourne - I think they probably share/rotate staff

There’s a cafe I have been coming to every tuesday morning for months. I dont think I’ve ever seen the same staff more than a few weeks running.

can anyone recommend a genuinely good (jewellry) engraver in the CBD? I used to go to the old dude in port phillip arcade, but he stopped during COVID.
- Comment on Discussion Thread: Sunday, 23 March 2025 4 weeks ago:
ditto. I took a break one day for “just a bit” and never went back. Have a glass extremely occasionally, but don’t miss it a jot.

seems like the perfect scenario

other than Aussie, anyone got an NBN provider they recommend?

I got a new dog recently (not a puppy). He is even more stupid than my previous dog, and that says a lot. I didnt know it was possible for a dog to be entirely uncoordinated. Hopeless doesnt begin to describe him.
He is the very best boy.

hey, fellow kids. Been a while. How are we all? I see we are all making serious food decisions…

I eat, on average, a zucchini a day. Love 'em.

yeah, everyone has cubes, which is weird, because a block lasts so much longer. How is one supposed to keep a bathtub full of ice for guests’ drinks over two consecutive scorchers with jist cubes?
(NB: that’s not really what I’m doing, but I do need something that will last longer than cubes!)
- Comment on Daily discussion thread: 🤕💊⚖️ Thursday, 2 January, 2025 3 months ago:
A question for the hive mind: does anyone know what metro stores (e.g. a servo chain, supermarket etc) reliably sell bags of ice blocks? as in, one big block, not ice cubes?

something about the name “reformer” somehow made it seem quite a bit more intense than just “pilates”.
thanks!

Looking for a bit of advice from you good folk.
I am under very heavy suggestion to undertake some form of mindful, de-stressing activity that is not running or cycling (which I already do but tend to get a bit competitive with myself about).
Having never done either, can someone with practical experuence of both give me some idea of relative pros and cons of pilates and yoga? or what the hell all the different yoga types are and what is best for a novice??

so, word on the street is that it is going to be a hot, humid summer. Any ladies here able to give recs for a hairdresser who can deal with fine…ahem…frizzy hair that has a tendency to curl? Shorter, rather than longer styles.

a really easy salad dressing is just to mix some yoghurt with a teaspoon of dijon (or other nustard, but dijon works well) and a touch of water. A salad would also be good for recovery…

so…haven’t been around for a while, so I thought I’d launch myself back in with a random question:
Would it be really fucking weird to get in touch with a teacher who went above and beyond to help me through some really, really tough shit 30 years ago to just say “hey, I’ve always remembered you, and I have turned out OK and am pretty successful, thanks”?

as an academic, zotero is absolutely the way to go.
Endnote does a job, but is comparatively slow, clunky and huge as a program - not to mention expensive, if you don’t have institutional access.
Even WITH institutional access to endnote, I use zotero and pay for syncing myself.

my pay doesn’t land until Thursday night, dammit. I much preferred a previous job where it would arrive on a Tuesday afternoon. somehow that feels much more civilised.

oh, I’m so pleased I gave up. for me it was a sleep issue, but it has helped in so many other ways. I still drunk occasionally, but I absolutely notice it when I do
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🕺Monday, August 12, 2024 8 months ago:
yup - giving up has been a great choice! mostly I don’t miss it, but an extremely hard few weeks makes a glass of red in the bath sound very tempting. Here’s a herbal tea cheers to you (or whatever your muddle aged person drunk of choice is!(

roast cauliflower is a surprisingly great meal in and of itself

it has been a rough few weeks, team. I kinda wish I weren’t off the booze, which means it’s probably a good thing I am.
