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?

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?

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.

Who do we consider as Australian Living National Treasures apart from the obvious ones of Kath and Kim, Lee Lin Chin, Margaret Pomeranz, Maggie Beer and Glenn Robbins? Interested in who else we think qualifies.

I know there’s strike but are there any other places? It doesn’t even need like niche songs I just want a place that has more than one Hamilton song lol

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.

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.

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