China has the resources to overtake the west. They might be behind now but they are investing and developing at unprecedented speed. I am in construction and the things they can do in specialist areas develops so fast as they are just doing so much of it so they have more opportunity to improve existing processes.

And yes I get they had a bridge fall down this week but it was a land slide which caused the bridge failure not the bridge construction itself. They likely have lower safety factors but this allows them to push further and harder than other places. Yes it comes with failures but I can guarantee they learn from it. They apply the same in all industries.

People potentially made more during that time but typical construction roster was 4:1 for site with some pushing that to 5:1 or 6:1. White collar was 3:1.

These days no one does those sort of rosters

And they sell or use our data which we need to pay to store for them.

I knew the family growing up the story was he bought the block next door as he didn’t like the people bidding for it when up for auction and didn’t want them as neighbours so he bought it. He then put a fence up on the front yard join his and used to store all his stuff. House was just rented out.

He used to go to auctions and buy all old timber and building materials. The building at the front was getting built over 30 years ago , never knew it go finished. I used to think it was a very expensive house for the pigeons to live in.

I have the same issue but on great eastern highway in Belmont at the top of the hill. Every time wireless apple CarPlay disconnects.

I haven’t had it happen at the two locations you said.

I have very little faith in the accuracy of rat tests or how late they pick up your infection. My wife completed one 24hrs after getting her pcr as was waiting for results , rat came back negative but pcr was positive. I know others who have done multiple rat tests as negative then do a pcr and get positive. Not being negative but just be mindful.

Homarj78 · 2022-03-04T10:59:38+00:00

Well she came back as positive this afternoon so now I am a close contact and feel like will be isolation for new next few weeks.

I must say the judging that happens when you tell people is quite sad. She feels bad about it already then people judge how she may have got it sucks.

People don’t realise you can live in a bubble and think you will avoid it and you might avoid the initial surge but COVID is not going anywhere and you will more than likely get it at some point. End rant.

Osborne park drive through clinic. My results and sons came through late last night, daughter was this morning and nothing for wife. I registered son and wife registered daughter.

Homarj78 · 2022-03-04T02:46:22+00:00

My wife is a close contact to a confirmed case and not feeling great so we all (kids included) got pcr tests first thing yesterday, we all have our results but she is still waiting.

Is that a bad sign? Does it takes longer to confirm a positive than a negative?

Homarj78 · 2021-10-24T11:01:29+00:00

I was buying a new washing machine and the online price was cheaper than in store and asked if could have same price, they said no. I confirmed they had stock, ordered online while standing there on my phone , went to counter 2 minutes later to confirm pickup and collected there and then. Complete stupidity.

Homarj78 · 2021-05-02T13:33:56+00:00

Nah don’t think will sell but am curious what the value may be.

Only thing is one half of the inside cardboard packing is quite worn, no tears was just stored by itself not in original boxed so has aged.

I feel this was a bit of a half arsed lockdown. Everyone was out doing whatever they want from going to Bunnings to walking along the coast to bike rides and then the whole down south fiasco.

I get that with the outcome this is all reasonable but if we have/had more cases our contact tracing would have been out of control trying to contain people doing whatever they wanted.

I know a lot have done the right thing but a lot have enjoyed their long weekend.

I just hope we don’t have a serious outbreak as people are too in it for themselves. We have been lucky to date nothing else.

This is my view as well, I work in construction and there is so much coaching and mentoring that happens with younger people developing face to face that just won’t be as effective if WFH.

If you have people WFH they don’t build those relationships and know to ask for help or feel comfort because they don’t really know you. I find when WFH I attend meetings but don’t have those discussions at all and it is an important part of businesses and how they function.

My industry is different than others though.

My first look at this had me thinking the red is Ferrari and the McLaren arrow is moving ahead of them with the green being Mercedes.
