    if you’re a shift worker surely you have other times available to do your shopping other than after 6pm on a Sunday? like Monday morning?

  • Three Brisbane men kicked off flight for allegedly vaping, drinking duty-free alcohol on board

    I didn’t need to read the excerpt to know where this flight was heading.

    the age of the third individual was the most surprising part.

    I think it’s more about bringing attention to the issue — I had noticed it but had no idea what was going on until you mentioned it.

    so if it encourages conversation then that’s a good thing.

    never heard them referred to as that, but then again this seems like a country term and I wouldn’t call the outer suburbs of Brisbane exactly country…

    just hides comments on most sites/articles

    so news articles, youtube, fediverse apparently lol

    it was actually pretty nice to go to youtube and only see the video and the related videos column

    Not seeing all comments, curious as to why
  • GloomyBagel GloomyBagel 1y ago 100%

    better than what I experienced last week which was literally no comments displaying on any thread, whether I was logged in or not

    figured it was a bug, came back days later and still nothing.

    … realised I had forgotten I turned on the “Block comments where they aren’t the primary focus” option on in 1Blocker which synced across my devices.

  • Mate, it's not like driving from DC to Philly
  • GloomyBagel GloomyBagel 1y ago 100%

    drove from Philly to Boston with a stop in NYC and it honestly wasn’t that bad

    with that being said I would never dream of driving from Brisbane to Canberra again. next time I want to see snow I am flying down — the return trip was the worst.

    I know they’re totally different distances but even to Sydney is a stretch for me these days.

    don’t even get me started with driving north of Brisbane…

  • Beginner Hiking/Walking Spots
  • GloomyBagel GloomyBagel 1y ago 100%

    my favourite hike.

    I am a bit of a bigger person and it’s enjoyable. it’s tough, but if you pace it right it’s fine and the pay off is well worth it

    stay away from mount coolum, it’s deceptively tough and honestly I don’t think it’s that great

  • New towers to dominate Indooroopilly skyline if plans get the nod
  • GloomyBagel GloomyBagel 1y ago 100%

    100% agree, and I hope as working from home becomes more popular/more of a standard, I will be much less dependent on my car.

    obviously this can’t be the case for everyone but i’d be happy not driving 2 hours a day for work, let alone 3-4 hours on public transport.

    I think until there’s better public transport to other areas of SEQ (and further even), we are going to always have a need for vehicles.

    I would love to be able to catch a train to the heart of Caloundra, but for now the most efficient way for me to travel is to drive everywhere.

  • due to the rolling blackout... I think it's had its effect. I think I am done with reddit. it's a shame because as someone who doesn't use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don't get online. I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit. anyway, I'm just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?
