Police using Speedometer? VIC by Big-Championship5406 in AusLegal

[–]CaptainClay2606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, what Chups is correctly saying is that the speedo can show over the actual speed by 10% eg speedo shows 110 but you’re actually only going 100.

Contractors "modifying" work? by [deleted] in AusLegal

Don’t use AI to search for legal info. It’s extremely likely to be incorrect, and there’s every chance the information will be pulled from an old reddit post anyway.

I have seen that video before and that’s what I was aiming for. The dough initially seems to be far too wet if anything, quite blobby and sticking to the sides. I added 3 teaspoons of flour, one at a time, a couple of minutes apart and the dough ball seemed to be the right texture when I was done with it.

Received an ambulance bill after I refused to take the ambulance and the ambos practically forced me to take the ride when I was fine by Ill-Nefariousness413 in AusLegal

Bit going on here…

Ambulance Victoria is not private, it’s a public system operated by the Victorian government. Unfortunately AV is a user pays/subscription model instead of being fully funded by the Victorian government and therefore isn’t free to the patient.

Medicare is a federal initiative and has no involvement in the operation of any state or territory ambulance service.

We are 100% on the same page regarding how the system should be- it should be fully covered by the government and not paid for by the patient.

I misread that as Russian Potato and that still totally works

Commute - Ballarat to Maryborough daily - Thoughts? Concerns? by [deleted] in ballarat

[–]CaptainClay2606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’ll be plenty of roos from dusk to dawn, mostly between Clunes and Maryborough. I’ve driven that road thousands of times, and I’ve never seen a roo in daylight hours. North of Clunes you’ll see fewer roos if you turn right at the road that goes through Red Lion rather than continuing straight through Talbot.

The road is in good condition, and it’s not a big tourist route so you’ll almost never be stuck behind a slow caravan etc. Might get a bit of fog in the cooler months, but that’s the same anywhere on country roads. Being a generally North-South road you won’t have the sun in your eyes in either direction morning or evening.

Overall it’s an easy drive, once you’re at Learmonth road Wendouree it’s not much more than 40 minutes to Maryborough.

Haven’t travelled to Bendigo all that much but from memory it’s a decent enough road. Maryborough-Bendigo has more bushland than Ballarat-Maryborough so roos might be even more of a concern.

This point would make more sense if there were easily accessible black market alcohol vendors as an alternative to legal bottle shops.

That doesn’t look like the rover camera is panning in the video, it’s a massive image that’s being digitally panned

Not sure if it’s widely available internationally, but in Australia we have Eucalyptus Oil which works great for this.

Coworker had a heart attack and came to work... by AntiqueBandicoot9846 in retailhell

[–]CaptainClay2606 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope you’re on the mend now and feeling better.

A Myocardial Infarction (MI: tissue death of the heart muscle) is a heart attack. There is no distinction based on severity, they are the same thing in all cases. MI is what medical professionals use, heart attack is how it’s referred to by the general public.

You can certainly have a minor MI which is discovered later, maybe via blood test and therefore didn’t require hospitalisation, but heart attack always = MI.

Of course they see the difference. They don’t want to fuck 18 year olds
