double nine posted:Does selling fake medicine to the elderly and gullible pay a lot? Because a flight to australia followed by about a month's worth of motel rent in a university town can't be cheap for someone who used to share the rent with two other people. Sydney is one of the most expensive places to live in the world. You'd struggle to find an apartment to rent for less than maybe 600 a week. My friend pays 900 for a very modest albeit inner city apartment. You could get a bunk in a backpackers hostel for $50-60 a night; but given the reference to a pull out couch, she's in a proper motel. The cheapest you'd get in a really lovely area is maybe $120 a night

I can't do it more often - travelling to Sydney is detrimental to my health. When I drove down in May I put on 8kg in 2 and a half weeks.

Rocksicles posted:You came all this way and didn't get baked and sit at Harry's snarfing down chilli fries all day like it was your job? Not an optimal use of a Sydney trip. Brisbane is very highly saturated with American restaurants - they've been the number 1 fad for a number of years now and we have far more of them than Sydney. There are 7 American restaurants within walking distance of my house and all of them serve chilli fries. In general we also have just as good, or possibly better chinese food; with the exception of Hotpot which appears to be super common in Sydney but very rare in Brisbane. What sets Sydney apart from the other capitals is the very substantial, and very highly concentrated Middle Eastern population in the western suburbs; therefore any trip to Sydney needs to focus on the consumption of Middle Eastern and Afghan food. There is very little Middle Eastern Cuisine in Brisbane. And of course Hotpot; since there isn't much of that here. Finally; Sydney has Cow and the Moon Gelato in Enmore, which won best Gelato in the world a few years back - The need to hit that daily dictates much of my other travel plans. I'm proud to report I consumed 21 scoops of gelato during my 2 weeks in Sydney itself.

Lutha Mahtin posted:imo anyone who says "American food" and can't spell "chili" is going to the bad place I'm well aware of the various regional cuisines of the United States, but here in Australia it's like chinese food in the 1970s - dozens of restaurants springing up serving a hodgepodge of barbeque, US style burgers, soul food, creole, buffalo wings and a smattering of things like chilli dogs and chilli fries and philly Cheesesteaks. Some of these places also serve poutine; which is of course Canadian (and vastly superior to chilli fries  ) We're only just starting to come out the other end with restaurants that are actually specifying a cuisine and sticking to it; but these are rare.Chili vs Chilli is a regional spelling difference I think. I have my dictionary set to Australian English and both are apparently correct.

Lutha Mahtin posted:lol trevor is such a dipshit Some of them are pretty much exactly what was depicted here. Places like that are practically the biggest food craze in the country. I can walk to maybe 7 of them from my house. There's this new food truck near me that serves soft serve ice cream; but the cone is a donut.

I know it's a joke menu but good god were those prices chosen by someone who's never eaten in Australia, let alone Sydney. That restaurant would go broke in a matter of months. I particularly like the three dozen wings for the price most places would charge for 6; and the 'pay once eat all day' offer; on Sunday; the day when everyone in the restaurant is getting time and a half. Those burger meals are cheaper than Mcdonalds I think.

eke out posted:need a gif of shirtless chidi swiping spam into his basket Fun Fact. A guy wandering around a supermarket shirtless is perfectly acceptable here in Australia. I work retail and I see at least a couple a day. So Chidi isn't being weird at all by our standards; and he certainly wouldn't be told he can't be in the store without a shirt. It's also very common for people to not bother wearing shoes. I'm a little disappointed though that they went to the trouble of using actual Australian currency for the scene in the bar with the wallet but then they couldn't be bothered making at least a small effort to make that supermarket look like it belongs in Australia.

uvar posted:I don't know whether it was actually off-model or something, but I swear our currency looked almost like fake money most of the time it showed up, especially when Jason was handing it out. Randomly-coloured notes with a big number in one corner? Don't be ridiculous. The notes we got a close up of from the dude's wallet were real. Those were the ones I was referring to. No idea about the ones Jason was handing out, we never really got a great look at them.

I think a more likely, (and arguably better) direction for the show would be rather than having the bad place interfering with the system, reveal that the system itself has naturally become flawed - maybe as humanity expanded and society grew more complex it became harder and harder to get points vs lose points, such that fewer and fewer people were getting in until it eventually stopped. The system is broken because its expanded too far beyond the original scope.

King of Foolians posted:The 3rd season is still airing. Netflix (in the US, at least) almost NEVER adds a season until it’s completely aired on regular tv. When netflix is the licenced distributor for a show outside the US; episodes are generally added each week within a few hours of the US airing - in Australia it does this for the good place; black lightning, Star trek discovery, etc. In those Countries Netflix is where the show airs first.

It was the first Harry Potter book that came out after I started reading the series.
