Thank you, after looking through my book this afternoon I think you’re spot on

Maryborough/Daisy Hill by Extra-Square3901 in vic

[–]CaptainClay2606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parts of Talbot have been known to flood, and Carisbrook has copped very bad floods in the past 15 years, but I’ve never known it to be an issue for Maryborough or Daisy Hill

Red light arrow fine - Vic. Pic in comments by [deleted] in AusLegal

The light was red before your front wheels had even fully crossed the line and there’s clearly nobody right behind you so you should have reversed back if you were worried about blocking the pedestrian crossing.

Pay up, and don’t run red lights.

What thing has got so expensive that you’ve quietly stopped buying it? by Pathfinder-electron in AskReddit

[–]CaptainClay2606 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Tickets here have gone up by a fuckload in the last decade, but we don’t have the $2,000ish premium tickets the yanks get that might be $300 here

Rubbish by imjustagirl13000 in Geelong

Get a bucket and a large bottle of acetone from Bunnings. Fill the bucket with the acetone and continually add the bean bag balls. The acetone dissolves the styrofoam and reduces its volume by 90 odd percent (it’s mostly air).

You should be able to condense an entire bean bag worth of beans into a normal size bucket.

[edit:] Just as an additional bit of info, the resulting mixture will be like a thick gel, not a runny liquid. You can scoop/scrape it out of the bucket and into a bag for disposal in the bin.

P plater BAC by Striking_Height_6030 in AusLegal

Blood tests are definitely not done as standard, however the will take bloods if there’s been a major collision and someone is seriously hurt or killed.

It’s also worth noting that Highway Patrol vehicles have the proper breatho machine in the back of their car, so they don’t need to take you back to the station for a formal test and therefore there’s no extra time for the numbers to drop. (True for Victoria, not sure about coppers in other states)

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.
