I see they've got scrotum keyrings and scrotum bottleopeners, what else would you like to buy in scrotum format? I'm thinking like a phillips head screwdriver. A corkscrew perhaps.

Is there such a thing as a painkiller that can be taken long term safely? I completely hosed my right hand and it will never be good again, and it hurts 24/7. I also broke my left arm at the same time, but that has essentially healed.

I don't expect a serious response because it would be a wonder drug, but it's worth running the sieve through the goonmind. I do not want a(nother) habit, I just want to amputate my right hand

Three baboons have been recaptured after they were spotted on the loose at a major Sydney hospital, triggering a police response and a flurry of interest online.

Police told Guardian Australia on Tuesday evening that they were attending “an incident of that nature” when asked if reports of baboons on the loose were true.

Callers to Sydney talkback radio station 2GB were first to report that they’d seen apes running loose in the area.

A caller told presenter Ben Fordham that he’d seen three baboons.

“Mate I’m deadset serious, I’m at RPA, I’m six floors up and I was just having a gaze out at the carpark… and there were three baboons in the carpark,” he said. “I’m deadset serious. They even had shiny red bottoms.”

Another caller said her daughter and her colleagues had been chasing the animals.

“My daughter is an occupational therapist at RPA and she said ‘yes mum, I’ve just helped wrangle them’,” the caller said.

New South Wales police confirmed on Tuesday evening that they had recaptured the animals.

“Just after 5:30pm officers from Inner West Police Area Command were called to a car park on Missiden Road and Lucas St Camperdown, after reports three baboons escaped while being transported,” a NSW police spokesperson said.

“They are currently contained and police are working with experts to safely return them to their facility.

“There is no immediate danger to the public but people are advised to avoid the area,” she said.

A spokesperson from the University of Sydney told Guardian Australia that they were looking into the incident.

The baboons join a long tradition of animals breaking loose from captivity and embracing the freedom of the big city.

They include two water buffalo, which escaped from a movie set in Newtown, Sydney, and chased pedestrians down King Street; two llamas chased by police through the streets of Sun City, Arizona in 2015; and three lions that escaped from a circus on Mindil beach, Darwin, and caused all kinds of havoc before they were caught – including gatecrashing a wedding in the botanical gardens.

The labour to physically put the poo poo on the shelves probably isnt there. Id say lots of shops would have back rooms choking with stock but have a deficit of 50-100 man-hours a day to actually put it out. The worse the deficit gets the less efficient the remaining work is going to be too. Hard as it might be to beleive you cant just hire shelf stockers and have them do useful work, it takes many months before someones competent enough to start being a net-gain to the business, and the supermarkets dont like letting you hire new stockers more than once a year.

Someone was telling me woolies were going to shut stores for a day to catch up which is unheard of. Like ive been in shops where the roof has collapsed and 3 aisles of stock destroyed but it didnt stop them trading they just put some barriers around it and went on as normal.

Until your folks wind up in hospital with everyone else at the same time and you come on here to complain that they can't get on a ventilator because the hospital is completely swamped because the government didn't do enough to slow down the spread.

It is incredibly selfish to think that because you probably won't be very sick its all good mate.

It doesn't help when you read in the media poo poo like "cases have skyrocketed in the last 24hrs" and they just announced like 20 new cases or something.

Like gently caress sake.. yes we do need to be really really careful about this thing, because it can and will spread exponentially if left unchecked, but temper your words a bit.

How often is everyone checking the news?

I check the Aussie vivid news once a day, mostly in case there are any new restrictions imposed.

I only check the overseas covid news every few days now because it's too depressing and has little relevance to the local situation.

I attempted to order some stuff from japan last week but it was no dice. I ordered things before it got bad and while it turned up it took a little longer to arrive

Bill Posters posted:

There are bugger all planes flying so it's mostly just delays because of that. Options are limited to surface based transport from some countries.

I ordered some stuff from the US via Amazon a couple of weeks ago and it was a little slower but nothing too terrible. I'd imagine Amazon have more resources than most tho.

On the other hand I am waiting for my quarantinnie carton from just over an hour away and it's running about a week late.

I ordered a camera part a fortnight ago and just checked on the tracking, it was returned to sender yesterday. Usually never have an issue ordering off of eBay Japan.

Edit: Guess they've suspended international mail. Where else am I going to get my dumb obsolete camera parts from!

Depends on the country, for example I tried getting something from Germany but the seller told me they can't send it here. Auspost maintains a list.

Can also confirm. I tried to buy some watercolour pens for my daughter but they wouldn't ship to Aus due to roni.

The missus and I had some good luck at Office Works a couple of weeks ago as the work from home craze was getting into gear. Might not still be okay, but basically I think the in-store locations are your best bet since they're inexplicably still open and probably have dreg stocks left over.
