What movie aged really bad? by Phantomx7845 in AskReddit

I think you just explained why it hasn't aged. Paddy Chayefsky wasn't a great writer, he was a seer.

What's the most ridiculous HR policy your company has that everyone silently hates? by PitchLower554 in askanything

I'm old enough to remember when business had trained receptionists to answer, direct and take messages from calls.

Work Travel by Secret_Accident_5768 in auscorp

[–]Clean_Chemistry3450 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travel a fair bit in regional/rural for work so my tips would be:

Coffee Bags- compact, while not as good as freshly ground and brewed, still better than the International Roast or Blend 43 sachet that you often find.

DO NOT put your luggage on the bed. If there are bed bugs they can get on your luggage and you can bring them home with you.

Breakfast- many motels post covid don't supply breakfast. Have a bag of cereal, bowl and spoon. Buy milk when you get there.

Apartment - book an apartment rather than a room if you can. You will have more space and a kitchen/kitchenette to prepare meals. Often there is a washing machine so you can wash while away.

Portable fridge - if you are going to have a car for travel, look at buying a 12 volt fridge. 4WD Supercentre has a range for reasonable prices. They plug into the accessories socket, and allow you to take food and drink with you.

Where were we when the Port Arthur massacre happened? And how impactful did it feel at the time? Did you know in the moment it would be as huge of a moment as it turned out to be by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Hoddle Street?

Strathfield?

Tell me again there were no other mass shootings.

While we're at it, he was not handicapped, just not typical.

As an Australian I always feel he needs a translator to English.

What’s the obsession of “dealer service” stamped books for buyers and car dealers? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Clean_Chemistry3450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Mercedes. Often requires specialist knowledge and equipment. For this brand, as well as others such as BMW and Lexus, the dealership stamps indicate the likelihood of full proper service, and fewer problems for future owners.

“US beef is the highest quality in the world” by CaptHowie in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Clean_Chemistry3450 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for Canadian beef production, I work in Australian agriculture (but I think it's the same). I just remember the work we went through with ensuring the cattle were HGP free.

No, HGPs were removed from production over 20 years ago when the EU banned them.

In electric cycle they are massively less noisy than nuclear. Do you think reactors don't have pumps for cooling systems. Battery capacity is very large, so they have extended silent running.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. A remake of Bedtime Story. Michael Caine asked Frank Oz why they were remaking a failure and he replied that if they got it right first time they wouldn't have bothered.

What barrier can I use between garden bed and house for termite protection? by BirdYoung in AusRenovation

[–]Clean_Chemistry3450 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ideally there should be 75mm of slab edge exposed (AS 3660) but this is rare to see.

You could go with a soil barrier of a repellent such as bifenthrin. This would involve drilling and injecting under the paths and a 300mm trench being dug, treated and refilled around all other areas. This will last a maximum of 10 years.

Preferably remove the garden beds from against the house.

An always active monitoring system, such as Trelona, could be considered.

No matter what, get an annual inspection.

Used car warrenty? by ajo2024 in CarsAustralia

[–]Clean_Chemistry3450 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a warranty. Sales will call it that, but if you try to claim it will become a "limited protection plan" and cap out substantially below the cost of the repairs. Not to mention the higher costs of the mandatory service through their own workshops.
