They didn't used to have snorkeling with the sharks when I went but my daughter and grandson went earlier this month and loved it.

Aw :3: I used to live five minutes down the street from this place before they moved into their new digs! Thanks for the recommendation though!

NSW north coast dirtbag grapevine is going absolutely bonkers right now BC of a wave of police move-ons of transient people and communities in places that had previously not really had to stress about it. Kind of hope they just go north to the forbidden coast.

Speaking of dirtbags my poo poo neighbour (not the Vietnam vet with a small digger) got a dog and they've been leaving him outside at night and he's being a big sook. I'm unclear if they've been taking him to work during the day or not because I only noticed him on state of origin night and haven't heard him whinging during the day yet but if he is being left alone during the week I'm for sure just going over there because the fence they put up for him is laughable junkie poo poo

They were expecting 20,000 kids to descend on Byron for Schoolies so that might have something to do with it.

Oh Byron has been a pretty brutal move on spot for some time and a lot of the rough sleepers and the surf rats hosed off to Ballina and Brunswick heads years ago but now even those spots are getting real bad for it

I often water just after 10 or before 4. I keep my back to the street so I not need to face disapproving stares from the neighbours.

Why does this show feel like it was bankrolled by big pharma?

Highly specific discussions about meds and side effects almost every other episode

It's almost as obvious as the rest of the product placement in the later seasons.

I think it's because it's grounded in US realism, where it seems every loving person (specifically, every person that can afford to go to the doctor occasionally being the mega rich) are on a massive cocktail of drugs.

So basically I would say it feels like its bankrolled by big pharma because the US is bankrolled by big pharma in real life and it's a show grounded in US realism.

I just think its an encapsulation of how therapy and medication was treated in the late 90s and early 2000s. The therapy scenes are all about dreams and hidden motivations and also America was and still is obsessed with brand name medication as though its a cure for everything. They are advertised to in regards to like, actual psychiatric medication constantly so they know all of the names of everything since they were kids.

I'm halfway through the last season and tbh it feels like only about 7 things have happened in the entirety of the show.

Better Call Saul is way better than Breaking Bad imo

it also actually has a likeable lady character, which Breaking Bad never managed despite having a much larger cast. Kim Wexler is awesome.

what time is you're sunset currently? im curious. i live in the direct middle of the us... kansas.... it pretty much goes dark from 5:30 pm for the next 4 months. For some reason we still have this "day light savings time" and no one seems to know why but for some reason people won't vote to change it... so we set the clock foward to give farmers that have used engines to harvest for over 40 years, why in the gently caress do we still turn the state into depression for 3 to 4 months a year... is it on purpose?




Something is going on. The US doesn't believe me.

loving hell that sounds amazing.....
when its high summer here (about 3-6 weeks, pretty random) the temp can go as high as 102 F as of last year.... but we get sunlight until around 8:45 pm and its my favorite time of year despite the heat as i grow older.

i hate the sun trying to wake me up at 5:30 am because its actually 6:30 and im ready to become more radicalized about sleep... the more i think about it the more i just want to be able to sleep in later and should hang up those light blocking curtains i bought 4 years ago and have been sitting in the closet. i forgot about them before now somehow>?

At the moment in Brisbane the sun rises at 4.45 am and sets just before 6.30. We use blockout curtains in the kids rooms but haven’t bothered with our own.
