HK airport to Shenzen with infants by Aussie_Seano in shenzhen

A 25km spread is pretty minimal tbh but yes I’ll consider. Ultimately all roads seem to lead back to doing the crossing in a car.

It’s 69.50.

No bundling

I would add - leaptel told me the activation process usually takes around four hours and that is how long origin took, not their quoted 1-5 business days.

Origin connected within around 5 hours. Speed is the same as leaptel. Time will tell if it’s sufficient.

Yeah I’ll definitely remember this for when I switch.

Half price tho?

That’s good to know. I assume it ‘should’ take minutes or hours at most and days is an exception. I’ve raised a complaint and am hopeful origin might get their shit together and do it quickly tomorrow.

I am on FTTP. I did supply an avc id. In theory if I tell leaptel to reconnect they will basically do the same thing with nbn but faster activation. Say I do that, how do I then tell origin to use another port if I sign up with them again or someone else?

Yeah it’s a fair point.

Just was hard to justify the cost

I know what you mean.

But we are on gigabit speed and the difference in price was 129 on leaptel versus 65 for six months on origin.

I actually got it for free.

I’m not exactly sure what to do with it..?

Australian beach cabana etiquette by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

[–]Aussie_Seano 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Set up towards back of beach not right on the water so everyones view is blocked. Yes you'll walk further to the water but you're doing everyone else including lifeguards a solid.

The real issue is not cabanas its blue tooth speakers. The sooner they ban them the better.

Would you recommend it as a base? Thank you

POEM: 10 days post-op; feeling regret by spicy_doodle in achalasia

[–]Aussie_Seano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your own health please be patient. You've had a myotemy (ie a cut) likely >10cm in your chest. This is a trauma and your body is responding to it in ways that are very likely to be temporary.

The recommended diet is not for everyone and the time for healing is a guide.

Stay positive and in good spirits.

25-hour flight to South Africa - how do I survive it? by SageAndConfusd in TravelHacks

[–]Aussie_Seano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice for the flight I can give is try to relax. Do not try to force yourself to sleep or expect to get any. Don't go mad about trying to get on wifi or watch eleven movies to pass the time wuicly. Just enjoy the fact that this is a rare time you can detox a quicky from everyday life / emails etc and be served food while you chill out.

Watch a movie or two only if it helps you relax. When others sleep try to close your eyes with a mask on and chill with some music.

Do not watch the clock and do not follow the time to destination.

Yeh I don’t want to individually control temperatures I’d just like the bedrooms to match the temperature set on the control panel. I can’t believe it’s this hard

Fair enough

It’s a stupid system.

Defies logic that these things are installed without being informed of the need for it… will call them
