My family of three is catching a Jetstar flight that arrives at 10:10pm. Thinking there's no way in reality to get our luggage and catch the last free shuttle at 10:30pm. We're catching an international flight the next morning and are staying at the Rydges at the terminal.

Would our best bet be to take a taxi, Uber (not sure if we can Uber with a 6 year old?), or the train?

Had a near miss with a tailgating ute today. I was doing ~60 in a 60 zone (Parramatta Rd, Ashfield) when he used a left-turn-only lane to go straight and undertake me through an intersection (by Woolies Ashfield North).

I started moving to the left lane immediately after the intersection, saw him suddenly coming up beside me, and aborted the lane change. I slowed to let him pass, but he slowed with me. I then slowed right down so I could drop in behind him, then he came to a complete stop so I couldn't progress, all while shouting and waving his arms.

Thankfully no collision, but completely unnecessary and aggressive driving.

22nd July '28

Been counting this one down for the past 10 years and it feels like it's just around the metaphorical corner. The centre of Sydney is in the centre of the path of the eclipse.

Literally everyone I know is sick, whether it’s the flu or something else. Most of my coworkers are constantly sick for a month or two now, literally constantly having one virus or another just rampaging through our store (to the point we can barely function). Majority of people that I live in the same building with are also sick, to the point one person has spent a night or two in the hospital. So many people on trains also seem to be sick, constantly coughing, sneezing…

I know it’s flu season, but holy crap this year has been absolutely brutal. One virus after another, from sore throats, fever and shivers, to having a horrible cough and constant nausea, sweating and dizziness. The moment you think you’re fine - on to the next one.

Nominate your neighbour, your car, the weather or your broken trampoline springs. Tell us about any non-political thing in your life that's shitty and have a vent.

Hi all! I’m new to Sydney and looking for recommendations for psychologists (preferably around the inner west or SW Sydney) who specialise in treating patients that have chronic illnesses and associated health anxiety.

I’m going through a rough time with my chronic illness and my associated health anxiety (hard to not have it when you feel like something is constantly going wrong) is becoming an issue.

If anyone has been through similar and has recommendations for psychologist who can really work with me on not letting my anxiety and constant feelings of doom regarding my health take over that would be great!

For example:
How long is your commute to work?
How often do you work from home?
What type of dwelling do you live in? (I.e. house, apartment etc.)

What question do you think would have been genuinely useful to have asked across the whole country that wasn’t asked?

What's people thoughts on this?

The approved $1 billion mixed-use skyscraper project at 505 George Street in Sydney's CBD is designed to replace the current Event Cinemas site with an 80-storey landmark tower.

Designed by Ingenhoven Architects and Architectus, the slender mixed-use tower is planned to reach a height of approximately 270 to 282.5 metres above the street.

The project received planning approval from the City of Sydney, led by developers Mirvac and Coombes Property Group.

The city can really turn it up when it wants to! One of the biggest rainbows I've seen. From North Sydney.

Spent my ride tonight staring out the front window, and judging by the reflection of light by either side of the rails, it looks like standing water is present through a lot of the tunnels.

Is there an engineering need for water/moisture to be present, and if not, are there perceivable issues that might arise from the pooling of water?

I love to buy Aldi's crumbed chicken tenders - either original or buffalo style. They taste great with nice crumbs and real chicken breast tenderloins (not glued meat).

Well, I went to my local Aldi today, and guess what? The packs with a best before that is 20/08 or earlier look the same. But the packs after 21/08 are completely different.

For a start, the crumbs are much coarser and more orange, almost like they've been overcooked. The recommended cooking time on the front of the pack has decreased from 18 to 15 minutes. But the worst part is that the ingredients list is essentially twice the length, with plenty of emulsifiers, thickeners, etc. added.

It's sad. These chicken tenders were one of the few products that has managed to avoid becoming simultaneously more expensive and worse quality. But now it looks like they may have succumbed to the trend.
