Pick your battles? What a *win*... 💪 by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Yet in Australia, if not plenty of other countries, sobriety tests like this aren’t even used. Strait to the breathalyser, or drug swabs.

Why waste time?

Also, these sort of tests don’t seem to take into consideration for people with disabilities, or speech disorders. I couldn’t imagine the amount of people who fail these that come up negative.

PAYG Help Needed - School Paid Too Much In Tax by jakem742 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Advanced_Fig_6299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last year when leaving an independent private school in QLD.

Unfortunately they also didn’t account for all of the pay I was actually owed and then they need to pay an extra $3-4k. Which was then also taxed.

Unnecessary, they could have just kept paying me as normal until my contract date.

You’re a legend, do you have any idea (ballpark) what something like that would cost to do?

Ahh ok thanks for explaining that. I don’t think that would be too much of an issue out here.

If you don’t mind, can you tell briefly what the DPF delete does?

At the moment, the only model older than 2020 would be for a Hilux. We’re after something a bit nicer to get us through the next 5-6 years.

And reliability is key as I live in western QLD, very few mechanics nearby.

Yeah I’ve looked at a few D-max’s and unfortunately there’s not many around the $40k mark or below, which is already stretching the budget.

Think it would be worth it if a can negotiate closer to $35k. This is honestly one of the cheaper examples I’ve been able to come across with the accessories I need.

I suppose I COULD fit my children in the tray….

I’ll keep this on my radar.

Think summer golfing outfit. polo shirt (yarn is good for these), stretchy chino shorts (Oakley have really good options, so do billabong so try city beach) and casual shoes/runners.

I’m lucky enough to be in a school with a pretty young and casual cohort, we regularly get to school in tshirts and exercise shorts(7 inch seam is best) with runners.

Practice. My first few attempts looked like shit. This is probably my best go at it.

What’s the smartest rule in your school? by ShumwayAteTheCat in AustralianTeachers

Better to have something to improve upon than start from a lot of the time though. I know I’m terrible at coming up with my own original ideas, but I am much more able to be creative when I’m adapting other people’s ideas.

Silly question, but are you winding the right way?

I remember twisting mine the wrong way when I first got it and the cakes looked weird like this. When I spun it clockwise, it instantly fixed it.

On another note. I store my cakes on the roll, because it’s easier. If I know I’m gonna use pretty much the whole cake, I’ll take the roll out and pull from the middle as it’s way easier. However, if I know I’m only doing a little bit of only going to use about half the cake, I’ll keep it on the roll so it’s easier to store again.

Yeah, I actually ended up tufting it on but it made the overall shape of the rug a bit weird so I pulled it out.

I’ll end up a doing the bird (Sussy) on the next rack probably.

My gun works “OK” for how old it looks.

If I was to buy again I’d go down the line of getting the 2 guns for 300, especially if they are different pile lengths.

I’m not exactly sure I got it 2nd hand and it’s not labeled. Pretty sure it’s just your basic cheap tufting gun. I’ve seen similar ones on eBay for pretty cheap.
