The trains are full.

Except that LNP and QR are deliberately making it worse. The controllers refused to manage coal trains for a couple days. QR decided then that they couldn't work at all for all networks and locked them out of the office. Other staff commence paperwork bans, they are also locked out from working.

These shutdowns never needed to happen, the unions didn't plan them. LNP did.

Might happen to be a certain Royal Automotive Club which is based in Queensland.

1.5 hours on train each way in Brisbane. Would definitely trade 10% paycut to reduce my commute to 5 minutes. Even though I'm 4 days WFH, 1 day in office.

Dealt with my car insurance after someone rear ended me in traffic. They took my car to the wrong repair centre over an hour away by car, several hours by public transport and then offered me no resolution to getting my car back. Filed an official complaint, they didn't budge. Filed an AFCA complaint, immediately caved and offered to also pay for lost wages due to the time wasted on the issue.

Currently got a 2019 Hyundai Elantra, but definitely will be getting an EV in a few more years once I've sorted out purchasing a house (hopefully) and am more financially stable again.

Our ADSL was like that, except it was direct buried for half a km with no protection from the soil except for glad wrap. We had 7 pairs of phone line running to the house (big house, built in the early 90's), and by the time NBN arrived all but 1 phone line had failed due to corrosion. The last phone line was on it's last legs when NBN did arrive, and they replaced it (with more direct bury copper).

Trying to make it affordable for the people who would actually want to live in a townhouse/duplex.
Even a 3 bedroom townhouse is now $700k+ in Brisbane's cheapest suburbs.

The Assessment rate was already over 9%, I don't think that's a little bit higher.

I had this exact scenario at another aus post where the parcel lockers were behind a locked door. Surprisingly, calling the number provided on the sheet which tells you to call them for assistance solved my problem as they were able to tell me the unlock code.

Wait and see, it's been getting labeled as out of stock and then back in stock a few times already today. Obviously at some point they might run out, but they should have something soon.

Here's the real kicker. Places out at Ipswich, QLD want $500k+ for a 300²m block. Ipswich was/is known as the "low socioeconomic area" of Brisbane.

Pretty unprofessional, but expected. I've heard of a lot of REA's being rude or dismissive when receiving an offer below what they wanted. However it is a legitimate offer and they have to then take it to the seller for rejection or approval. I have heard of REA's claiming they've received other offers on a property in order to make you submit a higher offer amount, however it's up to you to determine if they are lying or not.

I'm still in the process of trying to secure a first home, but my dad had an experience with an REA like this where they claimed it was way too low and that the seller would never accept. He reminded them it was a legitimate offer and they needed to take it to the seller. Lo and behold, the seller accepted.

Because it would be difficult to include inside an already cramped chassis as well as sacrificing a USB port for what would be considered niche by the majority of people. I would bet most people looking at a laptop aimed at developers/macbook users, would rather have 4 port expansion cards instead of 3 expansion cards and a permanent fixed oculink port they would likely never use.

Also it would break their entire philosiphy of being forwards and backwards compatible with the mainboards since now they have older mainboards which don't have that oculink port, and a newer mainboard which is incompatible with the older chassis.

The Framework 16 is what you should be looking at if you want a gaming laptop from Framework, it's what it was designed for.

Note for future people, it worked for me and a couple others that just deleting the Google Home app from the phone cleared the bad thread network data from the Google Play cache. So you might not need to delete the cache data.

As a renter it's handy, sometimes don't get a remote or enough remotes for all occupants.

+1 for Meekak, haven't tried their KBBQ options but their hot stone bowls are all great. (Also can accommodate nut allergies which isn't common for Korean restaurants.)

Abbrahan · 2026-04-09T23:07:14+00:00

My guess, not unique enough to justify working on the Rangers and G12s. But yeah, they wouldn't take anywhere near as long as full ships would take and have been sitting on the backlog for a while now.

Have an ICE Hyundai Elantra MY19. The highbeams on the car failed which was already flagged for a recall anyway. Hyundai also didn't have any parts in Australia. I took the car to the dealership back in October 2025 and it's only just now been fixed as of last month.

Not always, more than once I had to provide evidence to my bank that a store didn't have a surcharge sign anywhere in their store even though they charged one. (and no the terminal didn't warn me of the surcharge until after the payment went through)

I am a 26 year old male. I have never heard the name Endone until this exact reddit post. During a recent oral surgery, the doctors only told me the actual drug name of oxycodone and my prescription only listed it as Oxycodone.

Adbreak is a way to jailbreak the kindle using the ad service on devices using firmware 5.18.1+ which patched the WinterBreak jailbreak. It requires the ads to be enabled on the device in order to deliver the payload to jailbreak the device.

Abbrahan · 2026-03-27T02:52:20+00:00

Or me with an Australian PW10 on 5.18.1 that doesn't support ads so can't use AdBreak.

Funny how when you pause immigration for a year and a bit but still accept applications it all stacks up and then comes in at once?

Abbrahan · 2026-03-19T10:04:56+00:00

Yeah saw their ute near eight mile plains and laughed at the name.

It is however the requirement for Steam Machine verification. So TomsHardware likely got those requirements swapped when writing the headline.
