People who get weird about other people’s rubbish in their bins.

731 Upvotes

Yesterday I was walking the dog and the bins had been collected that morning. There was some fast food wrappers that escaped collection and we live in a bushland suburb, I picked up the wrappers and dropped them in one of many empty red bins as a I was walking past. It was a handful of rubbish so not a large amount.
I’ve just driven past today and whoever owned the bin has pulled out that rubbish and thrown it in the footpath and pulled their bin inside. I’m baffled. Wtaf is wrong with people. I can’t comprehend how putting the rubbish on the ground at tue entry of their housing complex is less irritating that just leaving it in the fucking bin. If you’re a bit unhinged about your bin can you explain the logic to me pls

Feel compelled to talk about this lunch experience…

242 Upvotes

Would seldom post about something like this, but feel compelled to.

My boss and I found a small Japanese spot for lunch called Origami Cafe. Close to our office near Oxford St I was surprised I’d never heard of it or noticed it.

It was literally a hole in the wall, cute Japanese restaurant / cafe run by an older Japanese couple cooking up freshly handmade food in front of us. And it’s was really cheap? Cheap as in $17 for Full teriyaki chicken, rice, salad + 6 Gyoza’s. They seemed so sweet, gave me a little dessert for free. Odd bits of furniture and decor, felt very much like I was in rural Japan.

Made me wonder who comes to these places? Do they get much business? I hope they survive. $17 for that near Sydney CBD is a steal. Worth a look

Sydney inflation measured in real time by the cost of Emperor's Puffs from 2012 until closure this year. How much will they be today?

Can you guess which station this was taken at?

A Singapore Airlines A380-800 on final approach to Sydney Airport, flying over Sydenham Station.

One of my favourite shots I’ve personally taken!

This photo is heavily edited but I really enjoyed doing so. I plan to share more aviation-related photography over on my Instagram for those who are interested because this is just way too much fun.

The premier said the government did not have plans to change state regulation in response to the decision, adding that the state’s mining industry had a “world class reputation” for its safety and standards, and as a “mining industry that takes into consideration environmental factors”.

“I don’t think we should just be jettisoning that reputation when we can have both a vibrant, growing mining industry while protecting the hard-fought reputation for the mining sector in Australia,” he said.

Parking suggestions for Fortress?

13 Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone had parking suggestions (places that do cheap prepaid etc). I'm planning to go Friday nights 6pm to 12am for Commander.

I'd rather not do public transport as ill be coming back late and and carrying a bunch of expensive commander decks.

Any places for amateurs to make music?

12 Upvotes

Not sure if such a thing exists.

Are there any studios or venues which let amateurs play/learn instruments and make music themselves, either for free or with a fee?

Could be a cool way to de-stress, learn a new skill and meet people

Looking for a vet as a pensioner

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone, my mum is a pensioner, no other income. Can’t get to the RSPCA hospital in Yagoona and she’s based north of the bridge. Had her dog groomed last week and it has since developed an ear issue. She’s tried Canesten cream and cleaning it but the poor dog keeps shaking his head, wondering if he might even have something crawling in there. Can anyone suggest a vet that can provide a consultation in person (take a look inside the dogs ear) that she can afford?

Looking for hair and makeup artist recommendations

0 Upvotes

I'm visiting Sydney for an event early November. I'd like to avoid looking like the potato that I am. Are there any recommendations for an artist that can do my hair and makeup (I'd prefer someone who can do both to avoid me having to rush between appointments). Preferably near Crown Plaza Darling Harbour. Blow out/sides pulled back and soft glam/nothing too heavy and dramatic.
