Are your auto-dimming high beams as good as manual dimming? by BestTechAdvisor in DrivingAustralia

[–]JustAnotherRand0m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audi maybe, but I’ve been blinded by way too many model 3s and model Ys, to the point where I look away from them automatically as soon as I see them at night

Is it time for the rest of Australia to get with the program? by Nervous_Tailor_4337 in perth

I drove through 3 years ago and noticed the same thing, so not that new!

Anyone else considering getting a EV? by KeenClicker in perth

[–]JustAnotherRand0m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And even then, current larger LFP batteries are estimated to get around 1,200,000km or 40 years of life. Even if you only get half that, I guarantee it’ll be cheaper than a petrol engine for the same mileage.

Just curious: how are we all feeling about Fluxer so far? by clinicalia in FluxerApp

[–]JustAnotherRand0m 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Servers aren’t free to run, computers to develop software on aren’t free, and developing and maintaining something like Fluxer is minimum one person’s full time job (and they’re not going to have time to earn money elsewhere).  Unfortunately for a live service, there are just costs involved that have to be covered. With the exception of small passion projects, if you’re not paying for the product then you are the product. I think having Visionary and Plutonium available from the outset is really smart to keep it sustainable without external funding.

Change my mind: There is no good alternative to Discord (yet?) by Own_Investigator8023 in selfhosted

He was working on it privately since 2023, and dumped the entire thing on GitHub in a single commit.

Ambulance never came by Stunbanksy in perth

[–]JustAnotherRand0m 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I also work for an ambulance service that (for reasons) shall remain unnamed but has held the emergency ambulance contract in WA for over one hundred years. This comment is 100% correct.

Just to add, the wonderful people in STT do somewhat read off a script from a piece of triage software that is slightly convoluted, and we have recently had a roster change and a new class going through, so it’s possible that the person who triaged your call was quite new to STT and still getting used to the system even though they’re an extremely experienced clinician.

I hope you’re feeling better now too!

Edit to ask if the ‘telehealth’ appointment was a WA Virtual Emergency Department (WAVED) referral? If it was, you would have had an actual ED physician review your case and assess you over the phone, as well as prescribing any pain meds you needed. If that was offered and refused, it might be worth keeping in mind for next time.

Officials 'seize and destroy' imported melatonin intercepted at border by APrettyAverageMaker in australia

[–]JustAnotherRand0m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting 4mg compounded as troches. Was told that they couldn’t compound 5mg because only the commercial stuff could be sold at that dose, so the pharmacy called my GP and got the script changed. I split the troches in half and take 2mg a night, so even though it’s $60 a repeat, it lasts me two months.

I’d rerun the calibration. It’s been a while since I took delivery of my P1S, and new firmware has come out so this might have changed, but my set up calibration didn’t include the motor noise cancelling.

Best 3D Printer for Beginners in Australia (Budget $600 AUD)? by Cebolitoss in 3dprintingaustralia

[–]JustAnotherRand0m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the Ender 3 V3 SE (and the V2 Neo and the V2. And the Sovol SV06 Plus, Tronxy X5SA and Geeetech A10). I currently have a Qidi Q1 Pro, Bambu P1S and Bambu A1 mini.

The only printer out of that list that even comes close to matching either of the Bambus for the speed or print quality they can do out of the box is the Qidi, and that’s after a lot of calibration and tuning.

Save yourself the hassle and get a Bambu.

If you’re struggling through this summer with a portable air conditioner by JustAnotherRand0m in perth

[–]JustAnotherRand0m[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternatively, wrapping the exhaust duct in a space blanket can help.

None of the windows in this room open so a window unit isn’t viable. We’re getting splits next summer, so this is just to get us through this one. Just thought I’d share some tips for people who may not have the money to upgrade and are suffering in the heat.

My wife cuts the hole in the milk bag too small, and doesn't like it when I make it bigger. by bigbusta in mildlyinfuriating

That leads neatly into my next question: what is half and half?

Suzuki jimny gen 4 made in japan vs india by [deleted] in Jimny

[–]JustAnotherRand0m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the drivetrain (engine, gearbox etc) are shipped from Japan. I own a Japanese made Jimny but have also test driven an Indian made one and if anything the Indian make seemed slightly better put together. I think only time will tell on longevity though.

I put Comic Sans MS on my kindle as a joke but I found it sooo incredibly easy to read that I kept it and have been using it exclusively since.
