Hey all,

I'm struggling kinda late for this subject.

For context, our previous assignment was an essay about a health protective behaviour we actively. It was a fusion between a narrative driven reflection and an essay. I chose sun safety because I am very very passionate about it (wear sunscreen and hats folks).

Now we have to do a lesson plan about another health topic. Our tutor (who is also the UC) has recommended we branch out. Not gonna lie, the other topics I feel very out of my depth with. Either because I hadn't been taught them very well in school (sex ed, for example), hit very close to home (online safety, sleep, drugs, sex ed again), or the topics are out of scope for this assignment (I was thinking about doing ebikes, but that would be covered in a later unit). It has been a while since I've been in school, so things have certainly changed.

Although it was recommended we branch out topics-wise, our tutor did say we didn't HAVE to do something different - so it could be about sun safety. But something about me doing that didn't feel right.

The assignment is due 31 May, and the strongest draft I have put forward is the sun safety one. I havent started the rationale, but I feel like justifying it is going to be easier.

Any tips?

Hey admins,

I was planning on showing a video of my asko dryer behaving weirdly (need to press the start button 4-5 times in order for it to go), but it seems I cant post videos.

I was wondering whether you guys would be open to letting videos be posted in here? thanks.

Hey all,

I was at the KG library late last night, and the bathrooms got me bothered.

In an attempt to use some of my nervous energy into doing something useful other than being stressed, I decided to clean them with whatever cleaning stuff I had at home.

I know this has been an ongoing issue for years. My mum is an ex student and warned me they were bad. I've found posts dating back years complaining about them as well.

I do get it, I'm not expecting them to be spotless. I do acknowledge that the library is particularly at risk because they are open 24/7. But the amount of junk, toilet paper, etc is a lot. It doesn't help that the seats are generally worn out from wear and tear either.

I also understand that there are cultural loo etiquette differences that make things worse.

However, I believe the appropriate response would be to maintain them more frequently.

I'm wondering what the uni is aware of this issue, and if so, what has been done about it.

Also just to be clear, I have a lot of respect for all cleaners. They are the salt of the earth, and some of the hardest working people you will meet. I don't blame them at all. I would like to know whether they are given a reasonable workload that allows them to to maintain the bathrooms often enough.

Just putting it out there that I appreciate this community so much. I'm still getting the hang of all this computer stuff, but I don't think there has been a single one of my stupid questions that hasn't been answered in a really understandable way.

I don't think I could ever be a programmer or IT person, but if it wasn't for some of the amazing help from this sub, I wouldn't even come close to understanding computer stuff as I do now.

Thank you all.

Hey all.

Allow me to introduce you all to Earl, the 5 month old with a strong desire for chaos. He frequently makes us aware that we are the centre of his universe, and adores attention.

Quite honestly its a refreshing, but unfamiliar character trait. Our previous cat was a rescue, and had obviously been through a lot in his developmental years. Earl on the other hand is the sweetest, dopiest, little parasite in the world; barely a trauma in sight (touch wood).

Btw, for a bit of background, I am studying to be a teacher, and one of my subjects is all about child and adolescent development. If I seem a bit... academic? (if that's the right term to use) about things, thats why.

I have a feeling he is within the cheeky kitten stage of development. He does a lot of things persistently (biting cables). His worst behaviour right now is whenever I am bent down packing bags or putting away groceries, he launches himself up my leg/back and climbs me like a boulderer with claws fully engaged. It's not fun, and because my dad is on blood thinners, he does draw blood.

I'm not sure where this behaviour came from. He did start acting up after his desexing. But I'm wondering what can be done to give him a little bit of discipline, but also meet him halfway (aka: giving him what he wants, without him needing to use us as a scratching post).

Any ideas?

Hey all,

Someone in here recommended I buy acoustic panels to reduce the noise from outside in my bedroom. Aldi had them on sale where I'm from, and I finally bought a bunch. I started putting them up, but small issue: Idk if I'm actually doing it right.

Do I need to cover the entire wall? Or just strategic parts.

I've also got a window with venetian blinds. I'm wondering if there is some descrete adhesive foam strip stuff (in white) I could buy?

Thanks.

Hey all,

Complete noob here.

I wanna ask about RAM upgrades.

I discovered how much Chrome and Edge browsers were eating up my RAM. This is possibly why my computer has been running slower on startup. I never understood RAM, and people have said that 8GB is fine for uni use, but because I use tonnes of tabs when I study, I realise now that 8GB may not be enough.

I have found settings in Chrome to get it to chill out on ram use, however, I am considering getting an upgrade for my FW12.

My questions:

- Can I buy another 8gb ram to make it 16gb?

- If not, and I have to buy 16gb of ram, can I sell my 8gb?

Hope this makes sense.

First world problem, but I keep on knocking the power off button whenever I go to show someone something. It happened 3 times in a row consecutively.

I'm curious to know if there is a way of moving the button somewhere else? Or disabling it to not shut my computer off every time? (Turning on is fine, but I generally use windows+L or close the screen in order to hibernate).

Hey all,

I've noticed this for a while, but I'm currently looking after our neighbour's chickens while they are away.

I get on pretty well with my neighbours, but I genuinely find it very distressing how poorly they treat their chooks. They are a generational family of first and second gen immigrants. Grandma (who owns the chickens) speaks very little english, but tries her best and is really sweet. Mum speaks fluent english (aussie accent and all). Kids are teenagers and dgaf.

I've tried to bring it up, and I don't think they understand the gravity of how bad it is for the chickens. I looked after their chickens during a storm, and I found out they weren't being fed well.

I really wanna go about this the right way, is there a nice way of getting them to improve their living conditions?

By the way, I have no capacity to take on their chickens sadly.

Well. The thing I was super vigilant about finally happened. I keep my vyvanse and dex in the same place in my room since I was diagnosed 4 years ago.

Today I went to take my vyvanse, and it's gone missing.

The last time I remember seeing them, I was trying to create a prescription refill reminder system, so I know when I can get the scripts filled.

I've got some spare Vyvanse for this exact scenario, hence why it's important for me to know exactly when I can get my script refilled. I'm not worried about theft, I trust my family. But it's just annoying how it's location has completely left my mind. I can't even retrace my steps because I was so focused on calculating the dates I don't know where I put it. Grrrr. At least I feel validated that I am definitely diagnosed for a reason.
