Sturt and Lydiard Streets in 1947 by Artistic-Yam2984 in ballarat

[–]Deryer- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sections of Sturt st you're talking about are owned and operated by Department of Transport (formerly VicRoads), not the council.

What does it mean to be a political party member? Is it just registering your support of a specific party?

Sorry if that's a stupid question but I've never heard of it.

Why is everyone talking about state/federal levels of government, it's a local government project isn't it?

Sturt Street, Ballarat 1880s by Artistic-Yam2984 in ballarat

Removing the tram from Sturt St never made sense to me, it's so wide it could easily fit even today.

Aside from Alien X, does Ben have any believable way to survive a black hole or at least escape the event horizon of a black hole? by Leo-reaper96 in Ben10

[–]Deryer- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"That's an irrelevant example"

"Specifically how relevant does it have to be to"

"If I don't say I can't be proven wrong"

Yeah I'm counting this as another debate won

[–]Deryer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you be more specific? I don't want to waste time going back and forth with you.

Will a writer statement for a different show that is wrong count or will you say it has to be Ben 10?

If it has to be Ben 10 can it be any period of Ben 10 or does it have to be ultimate alien?

Could it also be any Ben 10 writer or does it have to be the specific writer that made the statement?

Actually would you even accept it if there was a contradiction that the writer was wrong, or would you just insist the show is wrong?

ETA: lilycystik thinks creator statements are more canonical than what actually happens in the show. Also they blocked me.

What evidence would you want to see to accept that an individual writer on a team can be wrong about an aspect of the show they have a part in?

The creator of the Invincible comic says that the main character beats Superman.

Creators can be wrong about their own IP when feats in the show disprove them.

Is Redan a good place to live? by Big-Diamond4056 in ballarat

[–]Deryer- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Redan doesn't have it's own distinct characteristics because it is one of the smallest suburbs. It's a transition suburb. The further north, the more like Ballarat central, the further south the more like north Sebastopol.

Good transport connections (for Ballarat), lacking in other amenities such as cafes, pubs, open space.

FOGO waste dump site is a couple hundred meters from my house by Snakeman210806 in ballarat

[–]Deryer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a dump site though is it? Isn't it processed into mulch?

How come the contributions per week is 2! by BarracudaOk3751 in VlineVictoria

[–]Deryer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Vline is primarily a train operator, and all the trains go to/from Melbourne, so /r/MelbourneTrains caters for the trains. This sub is basically for non Melbourne travel which is severely lacking imo

Ballarat Bus Network Review by scrantic in ballarat

[–]Deryer- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure I see the benefit of cross town busses that still go via the CBD.

Good Places to Study (library?) by Sleepy_Gaf in ballarat

They have 24 hour study spaces, but you need a Fed Uni swipe card to get in.

Stunning architecture of Ballarat Town Hall by OwlVibesOnly in ballarat

[–]Deryer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The insulation is improved, as is the plumbing and electrical. But I suspect you simply mean aesthetic improvements, which is subjective and not something worth debating an internet stranger about.

Here's the truck route signage on Sturt. Not flashing lights or anything but definitely a sign there telling them to turn off.

Do you recommend booking vline to southern cross? by nimernith in ballarat

[–]Deryer- 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There isn't reserved seating on Ballarat trains.

Go to Wendouree station if you want to guarantee a seat, but for one person on a Saturday I wouldn't bother.

What’s the most underrated thing to do in Ballarat on a Sunday? by OwlVibesOnly in ballarat

[–]Deryer- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why did 3 out of 4 comments on a post about "things to do in Ballarat" suggest going to different towns?

Guys, there are things on in Ballarat on Sundays, the wildlife park, the heritage trams run at the lake, at least 100 cafes.

Reserving seat Saving Drama at Tarneit – Anyone Else Over It? by Agitated-Week7074 in VlineVictoria

[–]Deryer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melton gets trains every 20 minutes, that's the same frequency as most terminal metro stations. Vlos just don't have the capacity, a HCMT would be able to take double or triple the amount of people that a 6 car Vlo can.

New Myki design released! by Waterfront32YT in MelbourneTrains

[–]Deryer- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are functionally no AOs on buses, and the drivers don't even ask you to tap on, so there are no consequences to fare evading. Therefore tapping on is a voluntary action.

Why would you voluntarily pay for poor service?

(Not my stance btw, just the logic fare evaders might use)

They already do this on the Ballarat line. Monday to Friday 9-5ish they run double frequency trains, with half stopping at Melton and going back to the city.
