@deegeese @atomicpoet I answer threads on (one) Lemmy community regularly from my Mastodon account. It's weird but it works and frankly, it's cool!
@Steve @shnizmuffin I follow one Lemmy community through my Mastodon account because it is mainly a casual chatty daily thread group. It +is+ weird, and not ideal as it doesn't show images for some reason, but I still kindof like that way of reading. I've got a separate Lemmy account for a bunch of Lemmy communities, and that works better generally. But I do like that they interoperate to some degree.
I also follow a bunch of hashtags and like them too. I find it all brilliant tbh, and love that it exists and isn't controlled by fucking billionaires.
@PeelerSheila jeezus! That sounds horrifying.
Glad I generally use a pram if I go to woolies but this totally puts me off going there too.
@prettygorgeous I avoid Coles now because of these fucking things. I have yet to see a Woolies with one though?
Honestly, ALDI as much as possible, or farmers markets where they exist
@Nath @tombruzzo the owners of private childcare centres are making a killing. It's criminal that the educators don't get better pay. What they industry needs is some smart career educators who band together and start a chain of centres as cooperatives.
@justkitten @Taleya the other thing that sucks about WGAC is the toilet paper is coming all the way from China. We DO NOT need to ship bum roll from effing China, it's one of the least sensible things to buy from there, srsly.
@RustyRaven @Grackle who do they use to deliver? It would be good to have a backup if Yarn'n go down the gurgler.
@Taleya @briongloid had it with them about a year ago, just awful couriers, failed at least 3 delivery attempts in a row and I told them to go jump. Switched to Yarn'n, who so far haven't fucked up once, but I'm kindof waiting for it to happen, it just seems almost inevitable.
@Salvo @Zagorath EV batteries so far are generally outlasting the expected/rated lifespans significantly. Yes, the range reduces and first gen EVs have more marked range reduction, but batteries can be replaced and the old battery repurposed as a stationary home battery or similar for a significant period before ultimately being recycled.
@Deceptichum @Eyekaytee I drive my EV to and from the city from rural Victoria where PT is half an hour drive from my home, park it and take PT around town, or ebike. You may find name EV drivers are pretty pro-bike and pro-PT, they aren't mutually exclusive.
@Salvo @Deceptichum my #minicabMiEV weighs about half the average ICE ute, it also has tiny light commercial tyres. So choice of EV matters.
@Seagoon Awesome thankyou!
@Duenan @Gibsonhasafluffybutt beat saber is great. I haven't played in ages though.
@Nath @justkitten there a few compassionate landlords around, but they are few and far between.
Personally I don't get the cards, though I got a stupid amount of the bricks farm bricks a couple of years back and stored them, waiting for my daughter to be old enough to get excited by them, which is finally happening now she is 3, and we've been opening a few a day for a week or so. Much more fun than cards!
@Seagoon @Gibsonhasafluffybutt 🎶 revolutionary biscuits of Italyyyyyy... rise up out of your box! 🎶
@LowExperience2368 @DolphinLundgrin I ended up using Restavit too often and decided I needed to try something else. I now have a script for Endep (amitriptyline) which is safe to take long term if needed, it really helps me sleep.
@stepchook @Nath @Baku yes this is infuriating in many of the sharing/gig economy areas, and it's definitely Aussie culture but also many others, US is actually the cultural outlier here.
To the point that I basically will never allow French people in Airbnb because they ALWAYS rate low.
@TinyBreak @Seagoon try Temu? I have been surprised to find replacements for some things I didn't expect, and I now look there first for all sorts of stuff.
@wscholermann @bot001 is not ideal but you can get the 901 which is slightly further to walk than the Skybus but gets you to Broadmeadows train station and continues to Morang.
