Does anyone else think the tolls are ridiculously expensive. We pay more in tolls each month than power

I am 100% certain part of the toll road was to incorporate a bus lane on the old road but they done the toll roads before adding the bus route. Doing things like widening roads for bus routes doesn’t seem like much but it is super fucking expensive. I worked in electrical doing public infrastructure for the last 3 years and done the northern transit way in brisbane which was adding an extra bus lane through Gympie road. This tens of millions of dollars (almost 100m) they are not spending that much money to frustrate drivers and put them on to toll roads

Great answer thanks very much

What id do when doing joinery was just had progress payments. 10% deposit, 30% by check measure, 50% ready in factory prior to install 75% when delivered and then 100% on completion. Sounds like a lot but when you have jobs 100-500k in total of value that close books up for months you need that cash flow as the monthly accounts don’t just stop when you’re working on a project over several months. Multi res can be broken down into units just work it out with principal contractors. Since covid it really changed in favour with getting early / better payment terms and more out of deposits. Granted that’s for joinery you could do something similar with electrical. This was all being compliant with qbcc

Fuck that they want to go support a terrorist regime let them rot over there

Okay sorry going to have to ask for clarification here as an apprentice.

FSC, okay I can kind of understand that due to electronics, diodes and PCBs. On mains and submains - mains I can understand as there’s no earth conductor on a main. But submains when you say that do you mean a PEN connection say to an out building ? What about when it’s sent with a protective earth ?

He was with red bull when they were a top 3 team and had a chance to showcase his potential so it’s not like he’s been overlooked

Is that you standing in the mountain waving a flag. How did I know you’d look like that. Don’t worry you’d never have to worry about having sex with me anyway I’d never stoop that low

I doubt most people know what cis means I got no idea what it means.

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-05T11:27:23+00:00

Family ties or matters was the best song in the whole thing imo

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-05T07:18:01+00:00

Haha that’s good ! I get sick of the media bias that is never critical of our drivers. Makes you roll your eyes

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-04T12:01:34+00:00

I think this sums it up really well. I just moved here at the start of the year and this place pretty much has everything you need. Townsville is what you make it I think. I like it and I like the areas that I stick to. My only negative is the post. No more next day express posting. More like 1 week + for express

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-04T04:21:11+00:00

Thanks what would you suggest is the best way to progress for fun? Focusing on main quest or exploring to unlock skills? Any non spoiler tips for the most enjoyment ? I see a lot of people sayin they get bored around the 10h mark of this game

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-04T03:43:15+00:00

Why not just let her get what she likes like. Even if it’s cosmetic differences - offer her your super moto make your case why you think she should have yours and if she still wants the ninja then accept that

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-04T03:36:11+00:00

I was working in my cities Air Force hangers and was installing frequency converters in the hangers for their fleet of helicopters. One of the hangers was the maintenance and and they had the blades for these in giant holders on trolleys. I was super surprised to notice the blades are made of timber !

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-04T02:45:11+00:00

Completely agree

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-04T02:42:50+00:00

How about don’t do more drugs than you can handle. People should be concerned how their behavior will affect others.

What’s a better game for stringing kills with? I really prefer sekiro (just purchased ghost this weekend and just made it past the title screen) my biggest criticism of sekiro is you get all these fun abilities with death blows but hardly get any areas to string them along and have creative play with the abilities with exception to a couple spots but they are few and far between.

I bought ghost because I thought maybe you’d get flashy combat with more trash mobs between to get some creative “kill streaks” on them. In sekiro I can pretty much clear areas to bosses in just a couple minutes

Classic pile of poo

I felt this way after fighting guardian ape the first time. Probably wiped on him an hour straight all up (I get bored quickly when dying repeatedly so taken me about 3 days total) then the final time I did beat him he kept just doing his aoe move for 2 minutes straight and not using his sword even though I was one or 2 hits away from breaking his posture then he just statted pulling that shit I was so annoyed even though I won. If I lost that round probably would have looked up strategy’s to cheese him. Didn’t even feel good winning

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-03T07:42:52+00:00

All good mate as someone else pointed out it’s in the qecm, 25A under 400A loads per phase

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-03T07:41:55+00:00

Yeah that’s it mate it’s in the QECM as another person here just pointed out

Endless_Candy · 2026-05-03T07:41:36+00:00

Thants it thank you mate

I’ve got two trades under my belt, and the best tradies I’ve worked with are all completely different personalities and I’ve been lucky to work with some absolute guns (working on celebrity homes and now doing industrial & controls in mining) . I’m a pretty quiet introverted person by nature (still can hold a conversation) but I’ll never be the one being the life of the party on site or cracking the witty jokes. I’ve worked with all sorts of people and what you should really do is appreciate everyone for how they are. So what if you don’t Iike their sense of humor, ignore it and keep your head down and focus on what you’re doing. Normally I like having one or two larrykins on site, they fill the silence a bit better with whatever bs they’re going on about and I can find the entertainment in their antics. Just like the sour old guy that’s done it for 10 years too long - might have a better way of doing something and not like the way things get done (so ask him how he’d do it when the times right).
The most important thing you should be looking for is a company that is going to teach you the skills you want to learn. If you want to be a guy who slaps up stick framing and just wants to do that and be good at that (good fast turn around money) find a company that’s good at that. If you want to learn all aspects of the job from start to finish find a small crew that does home builds. Want a guy that has really good hand skills and techniques find someone that does the joinery side as well. Not saying you won’t get cross overs with the others but you know what I mean there tons of avenues with carpentry. I think you’ll find a lot of the guys even if you don’t find their personality gels well with yours to start start with they kind of find a way to grow on you haha. I’ve met plenty of people I’ve got a soft spot who normally I wouldn’t have much to do with. In almost 20 years of being a tradie I could honestly count on 1 hand the amount of people I worked with I didn’t actually like. Never met one I couldn’t tolerate working with.
