Not even herbal or anything. Agreed I've even had pharmacy employees try to give it to me when I've explicitly asked for pseudoephedrine. The other one that bugs me is that pharmacies will sell homeopathic "drugs" and even recommend them. This should be something that gets them slapped the gently caress down by their governing body at the very least.

cool biRd pics posted:i'm didn't mean to be a directed downer, i should read more extensively on the subject before dropping something like that. Don't stress, it's quite alright! Seriously - it seems like almost everything is bad for pregnancy, so I'm kinda blasé about it now, heh. I figure better that I take it than burn myself out with a fever or whatevs.  Laserface posted:glad we banned the sale of effective pain meds 5 years ago only to ban the inneffective ones a few years later too! It's not just a pain med, paracetamol is quite good at reducing fevers. Hell, when I was sick with an infection and was speedrunning to the "you're in serious trouble" zone, the first thing the nurses did was give me some paracetamol to bring the fever down.

Paracetemol is great for bringing down kid's fevers, SMG had some recently and Nurofen didn't seem to have much effect.

‘You can only buy one pack per day without the involvement of a doctor’ is a long long way from ‘taking away paracetamol’.

It's not as simple as that for many reasons including accessibility of immediate or per-day trips to get more, how the per-day limit translates to medicines for children (doses are very precise, getting that little bit of liquid slurry out without air bubbles mucking up the measurement in a nearly empty bottle with your patience intact while your child is miserable is an exercise in sainthood), and how it's going to lead to a lot more people having to go to emergency and gp clinics because the times we need medicine are often not the times the chemist is open (or when you can go to Coles for adult packets. Maybe. If the legislation to limit packet sales is trusting minimum wage retail to give a gently caress)

Congrats froglet. I did an Auspol: submission to the NSW Minister for Active Transport, Rob Sotkes posted:Hi, I'm a Sydney-based cyclist and father and would like a chance to discuss the network of bike paths, at an inter-council level. Sydney has the bones of a world-class cycle network, with many miles of “Gold Class" paths already running. But a few critical gaps severely limits their effectiveness. By looking at the macro level, closing those gaps, and making a few slight improvements elsewhere, we open up cycling to vastly more people, and unlock the massive potential that Active Transport can bring - to the economy, the environment, families, and communities. Zero expectations but had to give it a go.

Panic buying paracetamol? Panamax (off brand Panadol) is a buck for 100 last time I bought it which was probably a while ago cos as previously mentioned it doesn't loving work on me.

Gigantic piece of poo poo Alan Tudge has resigned. Probably off to some cushy job in the private sectorGuardian AU posted:Pressure had been building on Tudge over the past couple of years. He has faced intense scrutiny over his handling of the robodebt debacle while a minister in the Morrison government, including an appearance before the royal commission last week, and because of an extra-marital relationship with one of his former advisers, Rachelle Miller. Just an all around stand up loving bloke. Another who has caused immesasurable immiseration and walks away with no loving consequences whatsoever. I wish him nothing but the worst in all his future endeavours. EDIT: tl;dr the tudge, the. hooman fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Feb 10, 2023 |

Opinions sought, since probably a lot of people here have HECS debt: is it worth making a voluntary repayment before EOFY since it's pegged to inflation and for the first time in forever, inflation is going to be loving 8% or something? It obviously depends on your personal financial situation whether you have money sitting around in the first place (I personally could only stump up a few grand) but since the conventional wisdom is that there's never any point in making voluntary HECS repayments, it was a "huh" moment for me when a friend pointed this out to me today. I also bothered to log on to MyGov and check the last few CPI indexations for HECS payments on June 1: 2018 - 1.9% 2019 - 1.8% 2020 - 1.8% 2021 - 0.6% 2022 - 3.9%

As someone with a ~$45k hecs who got caught out by this last last financial year, I'd say yes, if you can afford it you might want to pay extra. The conventional wisdom that there's not much point paying voluntary contributions stops making sense when your hecs goes up over eofy instead of down, which is what happened to me last year. So the mandatory payments I'd made over the last two years got eaten up by indexation, and that sucked  If you have higher interest debts I'd say pay these off first before worrying about hecs as it's very low interest compared to say a personal loan or credit card debt, but yeah maybe have a think about how big your hecs is and work out what it's gonna cost you if you don't put anything extra towards it before tax time.
