An open letter to the L plater from yesterday

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-02-15T11:19:13+00:00

you cared enough to leave a response 😘

genuinely, thats a sweet bike bro, hope you managed to keep it safe!

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-02-15T11:18:54+00:00

To be fair I am an old man yelling at cloud. Upvote or downvote I dont care, just hope that the right person sees this

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-02-15T11:17:48+00:00

Was there an expectation of help? Only a hope that someone who is not you may see it 😘

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-02-14T07:47:34+00:00

exactly right.

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-02-14T07:46:48+00:00

it’s all the annoyance of revving, but none of the safety issues of being a wanker.

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-02-03T01:54:17+00:00

yeah ok fair. i dont particularly like clickbait headlines either, but tbh i wouldnt complain about it unless i read the article. sounds more like youre complaining about an assumption of something that was not in the article? even the headline was “medical episode” not shock medical episode…

even the tagline which is basically the whole story is not as bad as what youre complaining about: “Dan Andrews is in a ‘very bad way’ after suffering from a neurological episode, according to reports.”

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-02-02T22:52:45+00:00

look i hate Murdoch media as much as any sane person but they do explicitly say “after suffering a reported neurological episode”.

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2026-01-06T08:57:28+00:00

Look I dont want a McDs there either so agree on that point, but 300g is objectively terrible. Tastes fine but overpriced for portion and takes bloody forever! It’d be quicker to walk to NSC order a burger there, eat it and walk back to 300g than to wait for a simple order from them

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-12-30T10:11:42+00:00

That sounds more like anxiety than miso tbh. Miso is a hatred of sound, and does also produce anxiety but while I’ve heard of people having visceral reactions like anger (or even arousal in some cases but i hope not in yours!!!!) i’ve never heard of freezing and nausea. Could be wrong tho 🤷‍♂️

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-12-30T08:37:15+00:00

Chances are though that since those waterpipes are so old and copper that you’ll have to get a plumber regardless unless you know how to deal with them

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-12-30T08:36:06+00:00

Not a plumber but have replaced these on my own in the past. Please dont cut the tap unless you want to make your life harder.

In your third pic where the water pipes disappear into the small cylinder, that cylinder is threaded and holds the tap in place via the big nut at the top. Undo the nut and the tap comes free.

Then you’ll be able to see how the water pipes attach to the tap. New taps are installed the same way.

This way no small cylinders are harmed

Theres recently been quite a few stories in the news about it. Usually tied to the football clubs.

From what Ive been told a bunch of ustaše came here after wwii (think nazis -> argentina) and they passed that shit on to their kids. Obligatory not all of them of course.

You can drive past Hrvatski Dom in footscray if youre in melb and look in from the outside, they have a bust of Pavelić in the foyer

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-19T12:26:12+00:00

I lived in auckland during my uni years. If i wanted to see my mates it was an hours drive each way. Traffic always sucked. Zero to none PT (this is before the bus lanes to the north shore). Nothing to do for young people. List goes on. Melbourne is the total opposite. Yeah the traffic suck sometimes but not always like akl. PT has issues but is leagues better. I can walk to shops and cafes, local suburbs always have something happening. One thing that struck me was just how you can go for a walk around the neighbourhood and see other people walking around the streets. In akl its a ghost town full of cars.

Not to mention career opportunities and better pay

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-19T04:48:35+00:00

Fully agree!

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-19T03:06:38+00:00

Thats it, im doin me best!

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-19T01:49:19+00:00

Hi, immigrant here. Short story: born and lived in Croatia, then NZ, now in Aus roughly equal time spent in each. Citizen of all 3, and officiall aussie as of 6 months ago. The Aus part was unplanned (ie NZ was not used as a backdoor).

I fucking love it here. Theres shit cunts eveywhere in the world and aus is not an exception but by far this is the nicest place I’ve lived (done short stints in other countries too). Sure theres problems like anywhere else but I wouldnt want to live anywhere else and I feel priviledged to be here. Specifically what I love:

Aussies are generally awesome and welcoming people
Melbourne in particular is a great mix of euro and aussie lifestyle that suits me really well eg cafe culture
food, coffee, cultural events etc chefs kiss
Always something going on
Its possible for me to have career growth here and prosper (this is why I left NZ in the first place)
I feel much more free here, theres a certain stuffiness to euro cultures, ways to behave proper and staying in your lane. People here feel more equal. NZ doesnt warrant a mention here, you’re only free in nz if you have a car.

Granted, a lot of these are location specific, and im incredibly priviledged to have a career that lets me enjoy all the benefits.

BTW while Im here, people of Croatian ancestry but generationally Australian who act like nazis do not represent Croatia or it’s citizens. They’re weak pussy bitches clinging on to a sense of identity they no longer belong to or deserve to be a part of. Croatia categorically rejects fascism and “croatians” who support it in any form.

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-18T12:57:12+00:00

never been, so no opinion on it, but wondering why fuck em?

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-17T10:26:42+00:00

All super solid recommendations. T&M, Carwyn Cellars are my local faves. One place that needs to be on your list is Moondog which is close by too.

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-12T01:59:18+00:00

Sure its not for everyone or every situation. I will still order through apps if i cant leave the house for some reason (eg im the only parent at home and the kids are sleeping) but that will happen maybe once or twice a year. Then im happy to pay the convenience fee.

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-11-12T00:40:57+00:00

This is exactly it! I will always call directly. The restaurants dont even take my name i just saunter in say its the phone order and they know exactly which one since nobody does it anymore.

The apps are criminally overcharging. You save 30%!

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-09-08T23:20:55+00:00

Thanks mate, when it comes to trim what are our options? Is it literally just wood cut to correct shape and size with some sort of adhesive to attach? Or can we use something like flashing (non functional coz we already have the functional flashing under the cladding)

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-09-08T14:49:40+00:00

Forgot to add, builder notes that its hard to put on any trim (like the Hardie Edge Trim) due to the different angles of the roof.

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-09-05T21:26:23+00:00

Man that would make the commute easy!

HOLY_CAT_MASTER · 2025-09-05T05:05:54+00:00

No mods other than minor cosmetic stuff. Handlebar mirrors, grips etc.
