I was heading back from Qudos arena last night. First unrelated complaint is that transit to Olympic Park is a joke when TfNSW doesn't bother to run the express from Central. The bus to Strathfield had about a 250 person long line and ran once every 20 min. Ubers were being crushed, 20+ min wait times, fair enough.

Every taxi I spoke to, of which there were dozens would slowly roll around, crack their window, ask where you were going and then just say that they already had a booking. For the record, this wasn't even that short of a trip and ended up costing upwards of $40. This is in massive violation of point to point rules, but what are you supposed to do? Even if you call the P2P hotl

Stuck somewhere between Sydnham and Erko for the past 20 mins. Very apologetic driver.

Hey folks, NOT THE CLAIMANT HERE, POSTING FOR A FRIEND.

Hi everyone,

Got into a bit of a situation here, and need some advice.

Uninsured and rear ended a tesla due to rainy and slippery road.

Got insurance on the day. But didn't lodge as I didn't think they would accept it. Contacted the other driver offered to pay in installments.

Other Driver declined and upon finding out that I was insured, asked me to lodge a claim. I contacted the insurer several times. got mixed advice, but was basically told to ask the other driver to lodge a claim via a third party.

The other driver got angry and told me to expect a letter of demand if I didn't lodge. He then engaged a claim agency

I'm considering buying in Wolli Creek and buying in a suburb that I've never rented in or lived in before is unnerving. I think I have a good feel of the place, but I'd love some feedback from locals:

• Are there really no bars or live music spaces? What's the deal?
• Are there any more "bits" of it hidden away than that central village?
• Is the mozzie situation bad next to the actual creek?

The vibe of the place seems lovely, but it's so hard to tell without living in a place. I don't mind the concrete jungle part, but what is the rest of the good bad and ugly?

To start, I am neither a lawyer, or an accountant, or an REA. I especially not your lawyer, accountant, or REA. I did however just go through an unnecessarily annoying process to convince my outgoing REA about my rights on getting my bond back, and I thought it might save you some heartache.

It involved diving well into the weeds of NCAT case law which the system does not make easy to find. I am also an owner. I think it's important for everyone on both sides of the equation to know their rights and have them represented.

Some Basics:

What is your rental bond?

Your rental bond is cash that you put down at the beginning of your lease to protect the owner against potential damage do

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on starting on the neuroendo literature. I don't have much background in neuroendocrinology, so an intro text or lit review to get a foot in the door would be great. The eventual goal is to catch up to the PMDD literature which I know even less about. If anyone could recommend a modern lit review (if one exists, I know it's fairly niche) or even some good starting papers, I'd be delighted.

Cathay was doing a promotion today with Hong Kong travel for basically free tickets only paying tax. I logged in at midday exactly, the site instantly crashed then put me in a 20 min queue. When I got to the head of the queue, it crashed again and this time put me in an hour long queue in position 50k. Given there were 6k tickets to sell, I gave up.

Curious if people actually managed to get in and how early you had to log in?

Any recommendations of a vibrating reminder? I need silent reminders so that it's inconspicuous at work, and of course, I just lost my Apple Watch... Any suggestions? Something with a real clock-face would be perfect, but not essential. There's a few dozen of identical looking ones on Amazon, but they review pretty mixed. Would love some advice!

I'm looking around and considering moving, but given the current shit-show of the Sydney market, I'm not really set on any specific property. If nothing goes through, I'm content enough to stay at my current place and I'd rather not burn bridges.

All the rental applications I see are asking for my current agent's details. I'm guessing they aren't going to bother chasing that up unless I'm successful yeah? I really don't want to give my current agent a heads up that I might be leaving in this market.

Is this something I realistically need to be concerned about?
