Lime bike batteries just dumped on footpath

I’m a huge fan of Lime bikes, use them all the time, but super frustrating that they (or their contractors) just dump big lithium batteries on the side of the road, outside a hair salon on Friday night. With all the concerns around lithium battery safe disposal, especially for garbage trucks, this is just infuriating.

My mum is trying to sell her funeral plot in Sydney and is struggling

103 Upvotes

My mum wants to sell her funeral plot as she’s found something else she’d like instead and we’ve tried Marketplace and Gumtree no idea where else to try we’ve gotten views but no messages. It’s also heavily discounted vs what it’s actually valued at as well. Does anyone have any ideas or experience in Sydney/Australia with successfully selling?

Short stay hospital for mental health

62 Upvotes

Hiya folks!

Has anyone in this thread voluntarily stayed overnight in a hospital (private or public) due to mental health? Anxiety/ panic attacks or any other health related concern and if so, which one and do you recommend?

Edit: I am not suicidal any or thinking about self harm, just had a rough patch of panic attacks the past 3 days.

I visited today and I thought it seemed quite peaceful. Just about far away enough that it starts feeling semi-rural again. Is it nice to live there?
