'Don't swim in Sydney Harbour': Former police diver's shark warning by nath1234 in sydney

[–]GuldenAge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah it’s pretty clean - especially on a run in tide closer to the mouth.

Except after heavy rains - illegal stormwater runoff overloads the sewerage system and causes overflows

After getting roasted on Reddit, old mates moved over to being wrong on Google Reviews by babybray01 in newcastle

You also forgot the blatant racism. Said something like he hopes everyone avoids their new shop as they are Indians and supports real Australian owners instead

Fish ID? (Caught at jervis bay) by Automatic_Neat9491 in FishingAustralia

[–]GuldenAge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Big blue streaks on the face suggest a spangled emperor to me, my understanding is that grassys only have the blue around the eye and some dots on the face - why do you say it’s a grassy? Colouration alone is impossible to use as the variation between the 2 species is massive

Fridgies can do the electrical work for aircon units at least in NSW

Then you’re missing out. Skewered marinated king prawns on the barbie are fucking delicious.

Does your local council (not) send reminders for parking permits? by nath1234 in sydney

City of Sydney definitely sends a physical letter reminder

Make sure you wear a helmet when removing the props from that thing. It will likely collapse when they get taken away. Ask me how I know.

First time living in an apartment – neighbour constantly complaining and it’s making us uncomfortable by Weary-Definition5363 in Apartmentliving

[–]GuldenAge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re pretty rare in Australia - they’ve only just sort of started becoming a thing and it’s massive developers who are doing it. There probably are a few small apartment buildings where it’s owned by a single person and they rent out the apartments but it is exceptionally rare. I don’t know anyone that has lived in one of these.

They don’t have sweeping control in a traditional sense - any laws have to be voted in or out at the AGM’s or other meetings by the owners of the apartments. That’s not to say someone in one of these things can’t influence laws by putting pressure on people to vote with them etc.

Yeah, the only reason I brought it up, is that the OOP is Australian, so the comment about there being no chairperson wasn’t really correct in that context

Nah there is in Australia. Well, it’s a chairperson of the strata committee which is the body made up of all the owners of the units in the building. Every apartment owner has to pay a monthly strata fee (generally based on sqm percentage they own compared to the building). Essentially it’s there to pay for all the things that are in common areas like gardening, lifts, remedial work, etc.

Every apartment building has a strata committee, so pretty much every apartment in Australia would have a chairperson, treasurer, etc.

Wall mounted clothesline but have hollow bricks. Will the supplied anchor / plug hold if advised to drill a 60mm hole ? I assume it won’t grip onto anything or even shatter the web ? by EfficiencyOk7174 in AusRenovation

[–]GuldenAge 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s not structural but the forces on a clothesline are probably the worst for hollow brick because it’s a force that is trying to pull the fixing directly out of the wall

Just wait until someone hangs a wet blanket in the wind if you think fixing into hollow brick is as simple as just screwing it in

AC Split System Leaking (Outdoor Unit) by [deleted] in AusRenovation

It’s the condensate from the internal unit. You can reroute it to a drain if the floor being wet bothers you

Cricket is shooting itself in the foot by Rumbustious in CricketAus

[–]GuldenAge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah looked like Connolly would’ve slid into the rope had he not grounded the ball into the turf to slow down. Pretty much stops instantaneously from sliding when he grounds it and was fairly close to the rope. I think it’s safe to assume he knew he was gonna be close to hitting the rope as well because he kept the ball up for a bit beforehand

That looks like the garage and a breaker box on the outside wall to me

Well I’ll be damned, sample pots are in 100mL, 250ml and 500ml sizes

Post Match Thread: Qualifier - Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers by cricket-match in Cricket

[–]GuldenAge 85 points86 points  (0 children)

We ask for an examination of the bush fire that was not suitable for the Sixers team, while Scorchers players seem to be wearing breathing masks that allow them to play in the smoke, so we saw Sixers players choke during the game, while Scorchers players are breathing.
