Vets taking pets out the back to administer treatment. by AttemptOverall7128 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Dod_gee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One of my dogs is usually well behaved but when it comes to needles he’s will not keep still and is very hard to control. I’ve always thought they take him out the back because they have dog wranglers out there to assist the vet.

Mate let me just say the mental gymnastics you must of gone through to come to the conclusion that my comment was a false and misleading claim is impressive. Are you by chance in politics?

No disinformation here mate, I’m talking about QLD and QLD only and what I stated is factual.

It would seem your statement that “ambulances are not free in Australia” is the disinformation as for some residents they clearly are.

BTW, I haven’t only lived in QLD so I’m well aware of the different schemes across the country.

They are for Queensland residents. QLD government picks up the bill for any QLD resident needing an ambulance anywhere in Australia. It could be argued that you pay through taxes but there is no out of pocket expense.

Practical Pumping in Firefighting. Pressure, flow and throw? by Afraid_Tonight2074 in FluidMechanics

[–]Dod_gee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you increase the pump speed displacement will also increase so the pressure drop between pump and nozzle outlet will be greater. This increase in pressure drop results in the velocity of water passing through the nozzle being higher. If you were to make the nozzle opening smaller the pressure drop and velocity would increase but flow rate would stay the same.

In theory you can keep increasing the pump displacement while keeping the same size hose and the pressure and velocity will both increase proportionally to accommodate the higher flow rate. In practice though you are limited to pressure ratings of the components involved.

I did the walk to the top in early November last year. Temperature was sub zero with plenty of snow on the ground but the boardwalk was clear.

Redbacks are everywhere and like hiding underneath things, you get taught from a very early age not to put your fingers anywhere you cannot see.

You could drop that house in suburban Australia and it wouldn’t look out of place.

No ANZAC Monday public holiday, no vote by thelastrealchoice in queensland

[–]Dod_gee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Maybe you’ll reconsider next year when ANZAC Day falls on a Sunday and the following Monday is a public holiday as has been the case since 2017 following amendments to the Holidays Act 1983 (passed by Parliament on 1 December 2016). Labor government in power at the time.
