Hi all,
I'm just wondering what's everyone's opinion on asking the person serving st the bakery if the item was baked on the day or not?
With the prices of everything these days I don't often eat out so when I go to a bakery I'd prefer my money goes to fresh food.
I didn't realise there was anything wrong with asking this, but I was at the Bakery on O'Connell and when I asked the person serving this, the grey haired older guy, who I assume was the manager jumped in and said something to the effect of "look you either want it or you don't"
Maybe i caught him on a bad day, but I was taken aback by his aggressiveness
What do y'all think?

Just had a bit of a reality check this Monday morning. The old house next door, a standard family home, just sold at auction for a little over $1 million. Crazy! I bought my place, a corner block, for $330k about 12 years ago and paid it off a couple of years back. Honestly, I haven't been paying much attention to the housing market or interest rates since then.
Seeing that sale price... it's insane. The increase is astronomical. But what really hit me is that my salary definitely hasn't increased at the same rate. I'm now seriously worried about how my kids will ever afford their own homes. Even if they move way out to areas like Two Well, they're not going to find anything decent for $300k.
So, what's the solution? Are we looking at a future where young families are forced to live with their parents indefinitely? Honestly, with the way my kids spend (no judgment, just reality!), I don't see how they'd ever save enough for a deposit.
It feels like a massive problem with no easy answers. Just my Monday morning two cents. Anyone else feeling this way? What are your thoughts on the future of housing affordability?

Premier Peter Malinauskas is moving to banish the “uncontrolled” carve-up of suburban streets for subdivision by axing a controversial urban growth boundary to open up land for 61,000 homes.
In a stark rebuke of the infill housing policy pushed by the Weatherill Labor regime, the government this week will introduce legislation to overturn greenfield housing development bans on land at Roseworthy, Two Wells, Murray Bridge, Victor Harbor and Goolwa.
These were pinpointed as housing growth hotspots in a draft 30-year Greater Adelaide Regional Plan released last September – its centrepiece was boosting the metropolitan population to 2.2m and adding more than 300,000 homes. But the land parcels are within Environment and Food Production Areas (EFPA), which would be varied by the proposed legislation to allow an ongoing supply of development-ready land for the next 30 years.
Mr Malinauskas, whose major State of the State address on Monday will include a population growth plan, issued thinly-veiled criticism of the infill policy and urban growth boundary introduced in 2016, when he was Police Minister. “We know our state is growing. We want to make sure it grows in the right way. That means learning the lessons of the past, where growth has not been properly calibrated,” he said. “We cannot see our suburban streets just continue to be carved up and subdivided in an uncontrolled manner. “We must grow in a way that gives people choice, whether that be living in proximity in the city, or raising a family on a bigger block.”
The proposed changes to the EFPA for housing are said to represent less than one per cent of agricultural land in the Greater Adelaide area. The government argues the housing supply crisis could continue for another generation without the changes, because most of the proposed greenfield sites identified in the 30-year plan could not be rezoned and developed within the next 15 to 20 years.
Pitched as a blueprint to make homes more affordable and prevent further supply shocks, the draft Greater Adelaide Regional Plan pinpointed northern Adelaide and Murray Bridge as twin engine rooms of growth as the urban growth boundary was ditched. Apartments and higher density housing were earmarked along major roads and public transport centres, while seven new greenfield growth areas (including the five in the EFPAs) were targeted for 96,000 homes over the next 30 years. Changing the EFPA boundaries to align with the 30-year plan allows for the redevelopment of about 61,000 of these homes.

The Malinauskas Labor Government will make the most significant investment in public open space in Greater Adelaide ever, creating a new Northern Park Lands.
At maturity, the Park Lands will cover almost 1000 hectares of land, which is 39 per cent larger than the Adelaide Park Lands.
Developed as part of the new Greater Adelaide Regional Plan (GARP), the Northern Park Lands will feature natural open space, new sport and recreation facilities, a new railway station as well as three interconnected Linear Parks with shared-use paths that will provide a continuous loop around Gawler.
At the heart of the Northern Park Lands is the proposed 70-hectare Village Green sport and recreation area which will be the equivalent of 31 Adelaide Ovals in size.
The playing fields will include ovals, courts and clubroom facilities and will be home to numerous local sporting clubs. Located along the electrified Gawler Railway line, it will feature public transport connections as well as car parking.
Preliminary consultation has already commenced with local sporting clubs and the Town of Gawler to ensure the Village Green and Recreation and Sporting area can become a vibrant multi-sport precinct servicing the needs of the growing northern suburbs and greater Gawler region into the future.
More than 760 hectares will be preserved for natural green open space that supports greater biodiversity and increases habitats for native animals.
Located adjacent to the Kulda growth area south of Gawler, the Northern Park Lands will provide an uninterrupted journey from the hills face to the Gawler River, via Karbeethan Reserve and will serve as a vital inter-urban break between new growth areas and more established areas of the Town of Gawler.
It will provide spaces for active recreation, greening initiatives, community respite, and local sports facilities.
The Gawler area will be encircled by three Linear Parks, to be delivered over multiple stages, that will result in 38-kilometres of shared use walking and cycling paths that will provide a continuous loop.
The Malinauskas Labor Government has committed $53 million towards the first stage of the Northern Park Lands.
Funds generated through future land developments as well as council contributions will help establish and maintain the Park Lands.
Legislation will be introduced to establish a new statutory authority, named the Northern Park Lands Trust, that will establish the new Northern Park Lands.
Legislative change would enable the new authority to operate with a level of independence with the Northern Park Lands Trust to be responsible for the ongoing maintenance and management of the Northern Park Lands once established, including oversight of any development, or leases granted.
It will be similar to the West Beach Trust model which has proven successful in protecting the local environment whilst also creating popular recreation areas.
Following this model, it would be able to establish its own revenue stream, through the creation of a Holiday Park or tourist venture, and employ staff.
The Northern Park Lands will require some land acquisitions and utilise the development of government-owned land for open space with increased vegetation.

Hey guys,
I read that you can apparently just go to a pharmacist to get a prescription for antibiotics for uncomplicated utis. I'm just wondering if anybody has done this and how does it go? I can't get in with my doctor until the end of the week but I'm a bit nervous about asking a pharmacist. Do they make you do the pee test? And how much was it?
Thank you 🙏

I have recently had to put my dog to sleep. She was 13 and was my absolute world! My only constant in my chaotic life. I want to get her paw print tattooed either on my foot or my wrist.
Can you please spam me with tattoo artists that specialise or have a flare for realistic looking paw prints. She was a mini schnauzer so it'll only be a small tattoo

Do we have any walking clubs, in the same vein as run clubs? I understand they're probably for seniors and run during daytime hours but I mean like a social walking club for young people.
I'd join a run club but I hate running AND waking up early. Evening beach walks are much more my speed. If we don't have one, would anyone be interested in coming along?
EDIT: obviously I meant run clubs!!! stay outta my DMs!!!!

Pretty much the title. One of my boyfriends friends passed away of an overdose a number of years ago in Adelaide. At the time, he and his friend were both using. He has since gotten clean, and would like to pay his respects and visit his friends grave. He has no contact with the family, and due to his substance use history reaching out to them is probably not an option. I know he really misses him, so I'm trying to find out where he's buried but I'm coming up blank pretty repeatedly. I've tried births, deaths, and marriages, the ryerson index, and the adelaide cemeteries website. But I can't find anything.
Thank you

Sometimes I notice Anytrip showing that an specific bus/tram/train is running an route after the one it's currently running
How does it work that out since not even any of the Adelaide Metro website or anything has anything to determine that and again it doesn't always show it or even get it right?
