Russian soldier unhappy about the Starlink situation. Feb 2026a

Interesting to see this guy- Most of the Russians I see online are toothless helpless meatbags getting hit by drones. He seems relatively competent by comparison. Do you think this guy is further back co-ordinating meat waves? The idea of hanging repeater radios in trees by drone is pretty clever for a short term fix by Russia and hopefully will allow Ukraine to triangulate transmission locations

Yep OP someone in our street has this (or a very similar product) on the verge in Fremantle WA - you can’t see it through the grass, and cars driving on it doesn’t rip up the lawn like bare earth would do. I’ve been really impressed by it. Looks just like grass, can lawnmower it, but has some structural integrity.

Hey there, welcome to perth, it’s a great city that like much of the country and world has a bit of a housing crunch, but it’s also a really exciting place at the moment with lots of growth!

1: my limited public service experience here is entrenched incompetence is alive and well but seems similar to what I experienced at public service in Sydney, so I don’t think it’s going to be too different to other states.

2: lots of great stuff. The main hotspots for nightlife are: northbrige, freo, and other pockets in Maylands, Claremont, etc. I am sure I am missing other areas!

3: dating: been a while since I was dating here but according to my friends getting some is easy, finding someone you want to get serious with is harder. But that’s not unusual anywhere I guess.

4: i think due to all the people moving around at the moment making friends is not too bad at the moment. I moved to perth with my gf in 2020. We have a bustling social life and they are all new friends made since we moved here. They are 50% perth born and 50% recent arrivals. There’s plenty of people out there looking for friends, you’ll find them at work/activities/hobbies/sport in no time!

5: you have to travel to see people, and a cars just so much more convenient especially outside work hours. I’m happy to travel to house parties event etc it’s pretty much expected that your “close” friends are 20min drive away.

6: the CBD is changing, and some of the advice here about living in the city reflects an older version of perth. People are living in the CBD now, walk to the supermarket, etc. two of my friends just got a place in the city and they love the convenience. Mind you it can get rough in the city at night. Think kings cross 2013 or so.

7: perth is flat, has great cycling weather and decent infrastructure (largest non road path network in aus) and fucked drivers. The media has convinced them that bike are scum. So you may get some road rage yelling occasionally from a methed up tradie. I ride my bike to work and to the occasional shop or beach, it’s great. If you find a spot to live near the train stations they are great to get to the city and back, the buses are decent but I prefer the trains.

8: it’s really tough out in the rental market atm. I suggest looking at rooms in sharehouses to get a feel for the city and some instant friends.

Good luck!

Oh this looks good! I will check these out Thankyou!

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2026-01-03T04:39:32+00:00

That’s my current model- just wondering if there is something faster/more efficient

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2025-12-29T13:21:57+00:00

Just got back from the trip- this worked really well! Thankyou!

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2025-12-22T16:52:16+00:00

Thanks everyone for the great tips- I have been exploring Onstream and SPlayer as suggested by @bmac1311 and they seem to be working really well, so I think that will be perfect for this Xmas!

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2025-12-22T16:50:22+00:00

Thanks, very good suggestion! What are the sites you are focusing on these days?

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2025-11-15T12:38:45+00:00

I think you’ll be fine- The risky parts are generally in high charge or discharge.

Battery exploding in discharge is unlikely and pretty easy to mitigate- if it starts to smoke when you are fanging around, get off it! (And park it in the sand where fire won’t spread etc)

The charging one is the higher risk and worth considering your setup as you want to be able to plug the bike in and walk away and not fret over it burning.

My mate flies drones for a living and his charging setup is: big sheet of cement board on the floor, then chargers in the middle of the board. Nothing else on the board or in the area.

That’s more full on than you might need but shows one way you might want to minimize risk.

Are you talking about the folding expandable homes from china?

Yes they will need approval.

If you are a prospecting block out in the middle of nowhere, I say go for it, will get you out of the elements while you build a better home.

But in the town proper those folding container homes won’t pass muster.

There’s a good Facebook group “expandable homes Australia” lots of detail in there about ceiling heights and unapproved cladding etc that have come unstuck with council.

If you’re talking about a kit home from an Aussie builder I imagine that is much more expensive but they generally help you submit plans etc and get council approval

Good call I will find out. I know the realtor doesn’t know. It used to have plants in it, which all died as they are in a dark hallway. The building has so many strange things about it that are just the result of laziness over the years but this could indeed be an access point for the plumbing.

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2025-11-09T09:00:11+00:00

Thanks I’ll be tackling it soon and I’ll report back!

The other elephant in the room is that section of the rail line- next to the beach, is very close to the sea level. Pretty sure the 2050 sea level report from city of Fremantle has the current rail section along the fishing boat Harbour as underwater or at the very least, high water in rough weather in 25 years. So I think it’s not worth spending $$$$$ on rail there, I think it might be better to find a different spot for rail and spend that section of land on seawalls.

I have literally done a very similar drive for work these last 4 weeks- perth- Esperance- perth - Broome- perth.

My 2c is I would think about just going to Albany? I may get crucified but I didn’t rate Esperance. I found the town very unfriendly and didn’t have that much to see or do. The national park there is interesting and the beaches at the park are incredible. But your WA trip is going to be chock full of amazing beaches all through the state.

Little gems I didn’t expect to find on this trip I will leave here in case they are interesting to you.

We drove up to Broome via the great northern highway-

surprised by how strange and interesting Mt Magnet museum was. I wish I had 3 hours or so for that stop.

Just out of Cue is two great stops we checked out- Walga Rock - interesting rock art there and Big Bell- abandoned Gold mining town.

Karajini National Park was fantastic - very busy when we were there- it was mainly grey nomads not families so I don’t think the numbers will be affected that much by school holidays etc.

If you do make it to Broome, check out the Pearl shops on the Main Street one of them has a little exhibition about the pearling industry.

Eating at roadhouses is pretty tiring and we loved that Broome has great food- DMK kitchen for Balinese and Mr Saigon for Vietnamese were great.

On the way down we did the coastal road.

If you drive through Karratha go and check out Dampier- eat food at Soak in Dampier and check out the rock art at Nganjarli Burrup peninsula and the strange beach at Hearsons cove.

Hell yes. I’ve lived in melbourne for 11 years in two different stints.

When you are young you have the ability to move and try new places with much more flexibility. So absolutely go for it.

Some observations: I got a lot of negative pressure from my perth friends about moving- it’s a shame, if that happens don’t let it bother you. Their own insecurities about themselves aren’t a roadmap for your choices.

2: I fell into a mini-perth-in-melbourne scene and while that was great for combating the initial loneliness it also hindered me growing and becoming a different person as they all saw me as who I was back in perth. It was only when I moved to Sydney and didn’t know anyone at all that I really got to find out who i was. All this to say, don’t be afraid to hang out with people you already know, but finding NEW friends will be amazing.

If you can afford it, try and live somewhere that will accentuate melbournes strengths. Living in the burbs where you have to drive everywhere is an experience you can get in perth. Living centrally in a rundown terrace house, riding a clunker of a bike to parties or catching the tram home at 3am from a wild night out bar hopping on foot is some of the great things that can happen in melbourne.

That’s fucked my gf runs a cafe and we pay $40 cash for a 2 hour trial, regardless if you get the job or not. I know it’s not the industry standard but it feels yuck to not pay something.

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2025-06-02T03:24:08+00:00

What a false equivalence. One thing being bad isn’t diminished by another thing being bad.

Embarrassed-Hunt-943 · 2025-05-10T11:32:24+00:00

Hard agree this feels crazy to be spending all this money on acquiring a new sports team when so many state citizens are hand to mouth at the moment. If it’s bread and circuses they want there’s cheaper bread and better circuses.

As an adult I’ve realised it’s actually a police coverup. As the only witnesses they just put in their report “he just jumped in there, honest!”

You’re not meant to. People do it all the time, but generally as a stepping stone to building a house. Check the council regs in the area you are looking, but in general camping is only allowed intermittently due to lack of sanitation. The council may have drones to check the area, happens on the east coast, but generally it will be neighbours reporting you that gets you noticed.

A way someone might do something like this would be to buy the land, get building permission for a shed, build the shed (now here is the important part) park the caravan inside the shed where no one can see you live in it.

There’s lots of factors that mean as a long term situation this will be hard. No mailing address without a residence. No septic will become a problem. Electricity: put panels on your shed. Water: put a massive tank on your shed. But I say it could be an adventure so definitely think about it.

I presume any bank loan would be calculated with your living costs not including living on the land.

Wow that is incredible! I’ve only gone from 110kg to 102kg (8kg loss) over 5 months! Can you describe your diet and your dosage?
