@Seagoon_ @just_kitten oh there are definitely cameras in the carriages.

@AllNewTypeFace @just_kitten I think this is really only happening on the Albury line - other services have likely seen a decent increase in patronage, but it's likely going to make rural services more viable in terms of numbers, and on the really popular routes hopefully a real increase in services. In 2019 I took rural PT to a bunch of different places in Victoria, East West and North from Melbourne, and only North was really even half way busy.

@RustyRaven I WANT SLIDES

@Baku @dumblederp

Replying from Mastodon here. Sorry to be annoying, I like Federation 😊

@Grubbi @briongloid welcome! I am reading you from Mastodon, but I also have a Lemmy account, I just like to say hi from Mastodon occasionally to remind people it's possible 😁

@schizoidman except it doesn't offer V2L as standard, it needs an adapter which very likely could void warranties etc. So not practical. Still a great priced EV though!

@bacon very sensible!

@Seagoon_ @CEOofmyhouse56 I am new to the chronic pain merry-go-round, but it seems doctors who don't know you well will pretty much assume this by default. It's exhausting. I even had the rural GP who ordered my MRI which showed clearly there was signal behave like there wasn't really anything more he could do. I think he was a bit grumpy that his diagnosis of "likely tennis elbow" was incorrect.

@goodviking yup just saw that a few minutes ago, made a report

@just_kitten @Outlier1031 agree. get your leaving plan together asap, that is a shitty thing to do, I'd talk to Fair Work about it asap, that kind of action is the job of a FULL TIME manager, not a casual staff member, regardless of your role. Get something about the duties you have in writing if possible.

@Eagle @TinyBreak and if you don't have it yet get a standing script for Ondasetron from your GP. Saved my ass 3 times in the first 12 months of my daughters many illnesses (yes, pretty much everything came from childcare, possibly one from swimming class) the one time I didn't have it with me was miserable and the first time I had worshipped at the porcelain throne since pregnancy (which, fortunately, I only had to once... yes I was very lucky)..

@Taleya @briongloid had it with them about a year ago, just awful couriers, failed at least 3 delivery attempts in a row and I told them to go jump. Switched to Yarn'n, who so far haven't fucked up once, but I'm kindof waiting for it to happen, it just seems almost inevitable.

@heyheyitskay @MisssDarylC lol yeah. before I lived here I hadn't heard of it either

@anotherspringchicken @MisssDarylC get Novavax next time. Reports across the board are lower side effects if you are sensitive to the mRNA ones.

@Seagoon_ all these ideas are great, don't know how you are going to pick.

@goodviking @Miss_kitty05 yup. basically we were right on to of it!!​

@melbaboutown @bot001 I can't offer anything really except empathy, I've only just experienced extended intense pain from a herniated disc, and even after 2 weeks I was thinking, if this doesn't get better, I don't know how I'm going to keep going, it's absolutely terrifying to consider years like that. I'm fortunate to seem to be one of the 90% that responds to conservative management but I'm on long term pain meds, and I'm really not sure if the injury is healing by itself or the pain is being masked by the meds.

One thing from your story though, I've read that an emerging treatment for a range of gastro issues is gut microbiome transplant, might be worth looking into if you haven't already as it's probably not going to be recommended by many gastroenterologists.

@CEOofmyhouse56 @TinyBreak and real time AQI monitoring doesn't seem to have picked up anything?

@CEOofmyhouse56 @TinyBreak I'm on William & Collins corner and from here it looks like a standard heavy raincloud, but something does smell off... 🤔

@CEOofmyhouse56 yup, confirmed in VicEmergency app, but warning seems pretty minimal. From that angle it just looks like normal storm clouds.
