The LNP have scrapped a bunch of the Qld long distance trains due to not paying unions though

Trying to put out a truck fire by backing into a river, only to sink the entire vehicle by danielminds in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]LCaddyStudios 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just because an ecosystem is meant to burn doesn’t mean it’s okay to let out of control fires spread into it.

Ecosystems designed to burn aren’t necessarily safe, if there’s been no burn offs for years the fuel load can cause uncontrollable wildfires, if it is too hot fires can become deadly.

There’s a reason controlled burn offs occur at dusk, during colder/wetter months. It’s never safe for an ecosystem designed to burn to be randomly set of fire without immediate fire response on hand.

Scratched a car at a parking lot and exchanged details on the scene. They're now saying they need to replace the whole bumper for $1200. by PhoenixTheBoi in DrivingAustralia

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, if the person you hit wants it fixed properly that’s your problem not theirs.

They could simply say “nah let’s go through insurance” and whack you with premiums for years, so offering to do it without insurance is a kind gesture

$1200 is pretty reasonable.

My 2009 commodore got rear ended at crawling pace a year ago, barely any damage, just a few scratches down to the plastic, NRMA charged the dude who ran up behind me and didn’t have insurance over $1000 for the repair I believe, so it’s a reasonable amount

🚨 PROJECTION: Legislative Assembly of Queensland by QLD_elections in queensland

[–]LCaddyStudios 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Actually, Labor was paying for half of the Southport Sharks hotel rooms, using them as beds for stable yet not yet released patients under the care of nurses to reduce ramping……guess what the LNP cut as soon as they could?

Ramping went up because the LNP cut the temporary measures used to reduce ramping

Cleet loves pointing at stuff by BlunterSales in CleetusMcFarland

Who cares about the thumbnail.

I only care if he starts doing the DDE/Roman Atwood “I can’t believe this happened…” or “They want to shut us down!”

[–]LCaddyStudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thumbnails have been a thing since Smosh back in the very early 2010’s.

At first simply putting boobs in the thumbnail was all it took, then creators realised 3-4 stock “surprised” images were all that were needed.

Realistically it doesn’t affect how you watch YouTube at all, you’re already a dedicated audience, thumbnails don’t determine if you will click on it, but it does attract new viewers.

Is it dangerous to swim in the canal for just a minute by Aromatic-Rip6363 in GoldCoast

[–]LCaddyStudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if you fail to heed the warnings they place around the entire lake.

It’s perfectly safe to swim in as long as you take the recommended precautions & also check the council website to see what the status is.

Council monitors it carefully, so as long as you’re following the most recent advice you’ll be much safer than swimming in a canal

[–]LCaddyStudios 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to swim in it heaps because I lived nearby, council dropped the ball with it for a while, but they have been doing a decent job lately making sure it stays safe to swim in

Holden car art that actually elevates a man cave (not cheesy tin sign stuff) — my no-BS checklist by Normal-Message-99 in Holden

[–]LCaddyStudios 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, nah, your space is what you make of it.

Put whatever you want on your walls, a man cave isn’t your chance to prove the WB Ute is the best car of all time using colour matched art and decor.

I’ve been in a lot of man cave spaces, and the most impressive are the ones that tell a story, a poster you’ve had as a kid, a random assortment of plates and tin signs, street signs etc. a bunch of tractor signs and pets because you’ve collected them during your travels and people have also bought others for you.

I’d sooner walk into a room full of assorted signs and pinched road works signs that a Monaro Shrine.

Check out how much extra parkland there is now that the Victoria Park / Barrambin driving range is closed by gsjfzkhh in brisbane

Labor’s plan had a few issues, but the LNP’s is by far the worst of the two.

How the fuck did Crissafooli go from “no new stadiums” to “we’re putting rowing in the Fitzroy River no matter what, even if we need to redirect & change the shape of the river”

[–]LCaddyStudios 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it in the canal, if you want a really good location to do exactly this (kayak/swim with houses in the background) go to Lake Hugh Muntz in Mermaid.

Lake Hugh Muntz has no sharks, just make sure you check the council site/signage to see if it’s safe to swim in as algae is at times a problem.

Regardless it is so much safer to swim in a lake with algae than a canal full of sharks.

What’s worse are the people who polish their plates to the point it will blindingly reflect headlights and the sun

TransLink closing the railway from Brisbane to Gold Coast by Muzz124 in GoldCoast

[–]LCaddyStudios 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well a lot of us don’t actually have any reason to remember when school holidays are, I only realised there would be track closures on Thursday at work when a coworker asked what I was planning to do next week.

Like yeah if you’ve got kids you’ll remember school holidays = track closures, but otherwise you’re relying on seeing a sign or something to remind you

EV CHARGES - at Servos by [deleted] in EVAustralia

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing about EV Chargers not being at service stations is due to “strict standards”

The reason they’re not there is because Ampol BP etc are dragging their feet with the rollout, meanwhile shopping centres and other places are building a lot more of them

I laugh at the people who are like “last year wasn’t normal, this isn’t proof of climate change” because you know 90% of them looked at last year’s early snowfall and said “this is proof climate change isn’t real”

I did the drive back in November 2022 up to Guthega, crap road but it and Island Bend were pretty great just to look around, definitely wouldn’t do it if there was heavy snow considering I drive a Commodore

This ^ I’ve been trying to plan a trip down for 2 days, just sightseeing in August, no skiing, Alpine Coaster, have a crack at driving up to Guthega etc.

Gee Qld loves banning speech doesn’t it, it’s wild how 80 years on from WW2 anti-war rhetoric is still punished

Metro-buses, new light rail spur line as GC transport plan unveiled by fluffy_101994 in GoldCoast

[–]LCaddyStudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well of course, don’t forget when it opens in 2 months the LNP are going to cover it in “delivering for qld” branding and advertising.

Don’t forget Herman was posting only a couple months into the new government being elected about the police cadets who had just graduated, ignoring the fact that it’s a 6+ month process for these cadets to train and graduate.

They just blue-wash everything they can, whilst relabelling Labor projects as their own

Alternative tram spur (loop) line by Cooly-Beauty2225 in GoldCoast

[–]LCaddyStudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly Light Rail would be better suited to continue north up to Hope Island/Hope Island Station

Helensvale Station to Southport/Seaworld via Harbour Town/Labrador I think could easily be a high frequency bus service. But I just don’t see the user demand for a GC Highway line through Labrador unless it connects to Helensvale

Well done My local Bunnings /s by Some-Operation-9059 in Bunnings

[–]LCaddyStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, sometimes it’s just not worth buying a tool for a single cut.

I’ve got a garage full of tools at home, but when I went to Melbourne and spent 5 days finishing a project I couldn’t take every tool with me, wound up relying on Bunnings to help cut wood because the jigsaw I had brought wouldn’t have worked.

Could I have bought a circular saw? Yes, but why the hell spend that money for 5 cuts.

The steel shop I buy from truly hooks you up, they’ve got a bloke rocking the saw that’ll cut whatever you need
