Brisbane@aussie.zone•How NOT to Build an Airport Rail Link [Brisbane Airtrain]
5·1 year agoJust wanted to remind people that you can catch the 590 bus service to DFO for 50 cents. https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/timetables/bus/T/590
And then catch the free Skygate transfer service to the Domestic or International terminal if you need to get there cheap. https://www.skygate.com.au/sites/default/files/2018-01/Brisbane-Airport-Skygate-Loop-Timetable-July2017.pdf

Australia@aussie.zone•A baby boomer tried to show me a positive side to the cost of living crisis. It didn't helpEnglish
77·1 year agoHer take on the cost of living crisis was that it was good that I wouldn’t have the issue of hoarding things like her, as I would never be able to afford them in the first place.
Lmao. You’ll be so poor you wont be able to buy things. Great flex, boomer.

1·1 year agoI didn’t like Prophet Song either. The mother character’s inability to do anything kinda bogged the whole story down for me.

Australia@aussie.zone•The loyalty tax shoppers willingly pay despite push for supermarket competitionEnglish
1·1 year agoI went to Aldi yesterday and they do really good prices with the limited options the my had. Example.
Sea salt chips big bag:
- Woolies: on special from $6 down to $3.60
- Aldi: always $2.99
So they do better than the half price specials at the majors.

7·1 year agoThere’s an outbreak in NZ as well. Seems like we’ve let other vaccinations drop after COVID :(
Great list. Might I humbly add Peachy Keen or Cinnamon Lip from Pollyanna.

Brisbane@aussie.zone•Queensland Labor promises free lunches for state school students, if re-elected
3·1 year agoThis would be amazing if they could pull it off. Would take a burden off parents as well - don’t have to keep track of lunch items, make lunch, drag lunchboxes out of bags, wash them etc.
Great leveller as well if the kids doing it tough get the same food as everyone else.

Books@lemmy.ml•Explicit novel Icebreaker is under fire for its ‘misleading’ cover. A book designer explains – and reveals how covers work.
11·1 year agoI mean games, tv, movies all have some sort of rating system so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time reviewing the content for your kids. Seems like a gap that this doesn’t exist for books.

Brisbane@aussie.zone•Queensland premier floats cap on petrol price rises, state-owned fuel stations in re-election bid
6·2 years agoThe swing from the bottom of the petrol cycle to the top was nearly 50c a month ago. It has been divorced from reality for a long while. The ACCC petrol price enquiry did nothing and people were all over Miles about “what’s in it for us poor drivers” when he announced the 50c fares. So it’s a particular pain point in QLD and will be interesting to see what they can do it they push forward with this.
