It costs about $400 to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Bit exxy. Worth it?

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

I guess that would cover the safety gear you have to wear and the guide etc. Understandable, but worth it? Dunno. I'm told the view is amazing.

It seems both an expensive and reasonable price. I'd pass on it.

[-] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

That actually strikes me as quite reasonable pricing, you're not getting that experience from anything else

Tightarse grousingSo pissed off with myself. I bought a Squishmallow a while back thinking it would cheer me up but all I can think of is how much it cost and I’m afraid to get it dirty. I could have sewn something myself from an open source pattern if I wanted something that bad.

Same with the old secondhand tv. I hoped it would help to get dvds to watch but it’s awkwardly large for my space and I wouldn’t have had to pay if I’d been more careful and didn’t let my original tiny one get nicked.

Also my energy bills are higher than they should be because disability leads to using a lot of hot water for pain management and a (low efficiency secondhand) dryer to reduce the exertion of tasks.

Don’t get me started on the food deal…

I’m managing ok still but am getting really irritated at the areas I’m not able to min-max. It feels so wasteful.

I really need to work out an easy way to protect my seedlings from snails during that vulnerable time, I swear they can smell the new sprouts. Clear plastic tub as a makeshift hothouse might be the go.

I can’t eat the produce myself but want to grow some food for a friend.

Ordered some more kitty treats… they’re expensive due to allergies. I wonder if there was spare energy I could make some at home

Jewish space laser? Dunno if they cant set it low enough and you might have to call in some favors but surely they need some good PR at the moment?
