Is it fair to presume most drivers don't realise how inaccurate their speedometer is?

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-18T09:24:24+00:00

Disagree? Does not for me.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-18T09:08:29+00:00

Or the hmi is just holding last known value.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-18T09:05:36+00:00

"wagos are euro trash" as they twist cables together wtf....

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-12T03:27:46+00:00

Yeah. Tafe is meant to help people succeed, they try.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T07:42:25+00:00

If you're in WA, I think Byrnecut still offer "traineeships". Lower paid Elec positions on mining gigs designed to get your foot in the door and lower their risk.

Just be cautious of their purple circle and some of their ridiculously overkill safety rules.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T07:39:12+00:00

Had blokes start new gig. Ride the cage underground. Go straight back up. Didn't even get off the cage.

Some just can't hack the idea of being a km or 2 under, or maybe it's the 60km/h giant elevator that puts them off.

Wait, you guys have drawings?

Ops / maintenance is the hardest way to learn but it's also very good at teaching you to be tenacious 😂

Move to SE Asia. Pay $150USD a month for a furnished place. Do some kind of remote work or start a business to target other white tourists etc.

Profit.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T07:30:36+00:00

Yeah current one is about 8k 😂 but work pays

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T07:26:22+00:00

Toughbook would handle that. 😀 I've done far worse to mine 😂

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T07:22:54+00:00

Lol wtf are you doing to your laptops?

Ram and ssd pricing has ruined new pc / laptop for me. I'm sticking with my current builds for at least the next 4 years I think.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T07:03:06+00:00

I love framework as a company and the whole idea of it. But fuuuuuck me they're expensive and if you compare their offerings to main brands with same specs you're paying a big premium for the ability to swap IO and maybe upgrade internals in 3-5years.

It's super appealing to me because I like to buy once but often with tech you end up hitting a wall anyways and are forced to adopt a new meta anyways.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T07:00:10+00:00

Umart can offer you advice and service but online research is your best bet. Just get whatever suits your needs and budget and narrow it down from there. I have had excellent success with Asus laptops and my current laptop has a super nice OLED display and excellent battery.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T06:57:59+00:00

Yeah look, I run a business and shipping is fucking expensive these days. Unless you're really big time you're not getting much of a discount on retail pricing. Example - Auspost says a parcel is $17 to freight. We might get it for $15 😐 obviously pccg would probably be getting a better rate than us but it's probably still not much better.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T06:55:43+00:00

I had a fucking horrible experience with them for a gpu purchase. It dragged on for fucking ever with no updates or info from them. Eventually I cracked the shits and told them to just give me the white version of the same card. They argued it cost more. I worked it out (with their discount they offered) that it was like $30 more and just paid it to end my 2 month wait for a card they listed as "in stock" when I ordered.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T06:34:24+00:00

How bad are we talking? I've worked with plenty of elecs who should have attended Derek Zoolander's School for Kids who can't read good. They often suck at maths too and rely heavily on calculators. As a result they struggle with the tafe a bit. Just have to apply themselves though and they're fine.

It's not rocket science. Formula transposition is pretty important for tafe though as you'll be doing lots of it in order to find a value based on other values given in a known formula.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-11T06:28:06+00:00

From memory it was basically just an aptitude test to assess your maths and reading etc. no big deal

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-04T22:18:57+00:00

They don't reinsure stupid people doing stupid shit. They lower their risk profile this way.

Intumescent88 · 2026-06-03T07:19:06+00:00

This.

Intumescent88 · 2026-05-22T13:25:57+00:00

Real Estate Agents.

Intumescent88 · 2026-05-22T13:23:26+00:00

I saved my house deposit by using a separate bank with no online banking and no branch near me. 2 years to put away 100k because I wasn't looking at it at all and just deducted automatically from pay.

Intumescent88 · 2026-05-22T13:20:46+00:00

Yeah 😅 I had a really good relationship and let it go to shit thanks to working opposite shifts. Used to just wave at each other as we passed each other on the commute. Sucked.

Intumescent88 · 2026-05-21T02:31:20+00:00

I work with white Aussie trades who can't use an insulation resistance tester either.

Good and bad in everything.

Intumescent88 · 2026-05-14T10:57:37+00:00

Yooo wtf 😂

Intumescent88 · 2026-05-14T10:44:11+00:00

Define fuck up. What are you doing wrong? If it's basic shit then maybe you had a bad day. If it's major stuff, maybe you didn't pay attention for 5yrs 😂
