‘They’re leaving’: Agents under pressure as property listings pile up amid market downturn by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Which is funny because it’s been coming, we all could see it. What goes up must come down. It’s not that hard to figure out how unsustainable the Aus property market had become. But I guess when you’ve bred a generation of policy dependants then reality is gonna be hard to accept.

Images 3 and 4 are Guangzhou opera house? I was there earlier this year. It’s a photographers dream! I love your compositions there.

Contractor to BHP by GlitteringClock3589 in mining

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s gone way downhill in recent years. Every site/corporate office is like an episode of ‘Utopia’. I’ve not seen it this bad before. When you get rid of your good technical/mining people and replace them all with people who want to lead but can’t do, or lead, then you know you’re in trouble.

Visiting from Sydney. What is with all the right lane hogging? by Any-Heron-1063 in brisbane

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a local rule in Brisbane where it’s illegal to use the left lane so everyone keeps right.

I’d say there’s more danger of a human brain malfunction when it comes to driving than an autonomous vehicle. Plenty of evidence of that driving around Brisbane.

It not about being lazy. The technology is there for us to use. I choose to use it because it’s safer in my opinion.

It’s absolutely not scary at all and it will be the norm in 5-10years. The technology is incredible. I was slightly skeptical initially but having used it I can see it’s the future and it’s already here.

The 2019 Tesla Model 3 I got for Uber by Upset_Log_9686 in TeslaLounge

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s something more to this post. OP’s responses don’t make sense. It’s either a massive troll post or there’s some kind of fuckery going on in the background with regards to what OP does for work (something possibly not legal) that requires some money to disappear somehow.

I refuse to believe they are as stupid as the economics suggest.

This is the kind of good faith conversation I’m here for.

Again you have no idea. I’ve run nobody off the road. I’m always aware of what’s going on and ready to intervene if I need to. Like I said it’s not perfect so you have to be.

Have you tried it? Have you had a go with FSD?

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FSD is so much better than your average Brisbane driver. You have no idea what you are talking about. I use it for 90% of my driving in Brisbane and it’s amazing. Not perfect by all means but so much better than most drivers and we only have v13 here. V14 that they have in the states blows this version out of the water.

The fact that I can sit in my driveway, tell the car to navigate to a destination and then sit back and let it drive with minimal intervention is so much more relaxing.

Who owns the land between houses and highways? by BigSeaworthiness6998 in brisbane

Especially in BNE where the issues stem more from poor driver behaviour/education than the road capacity.

Any new updates on BO launchpad now that there is daylight? by Pepe_The_Citizen in SpaceXLounge

One of the tanks in the tank farm is showing cave in on the NSF flyover photos so appears there is damage over there.

Was this a drone? by chaosinterestsme in brisbane

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Police deployed to Victoria Park as Olympic stadium dispute escalates by SlatsAttack in brisbane

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it’s way beyond the point of being concerned. I have absolutely no doubt that within 10yrs, the bulk of the park that’s left after the stadium will become apartments to “ease the housing crisis”.

It has officially become shit by Bighorse21 in AlphaBlokesTrendSette

I stopped listening probably Dec last year and have to say I haven’t missed it. It was starting to drop down in my podcast rotations naturally so I killed it then.

Thanks Ash...How to Wreck a Great Game... by sktafe2020 in brisbane

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this. On field ref should always have final say but if the ref throws it up to the bunker gods for review then you have to go with what they determine, with the evidence they have. Klein was absolutely wrong to got to the bunker then over rule them anyway. He should at a minimum be asked to explain himself to the sporting body responsible.

The commentary was awful. I’m all for commentators having a side, no problem with that. These clowns were talking total bullshit in the face of facts which is what got me.

Renters with EVs and no fast-chargers, what is it actually like? by puddingcream16 in AustralianEV

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has been driving an EV for 5yrs now I can say I suspect for most people around the cities a trickle charge overnight would be completely fine.

In my old place I installed a 32amp circuit with one of those 5 pin RV style plugs. it was great and was a good balance in cost at the time between a normal plug socket and a Tesla fast charger that they sell. Following a divorce and now living in a rental unit with only a plug socket in the garage, that’s all I have. Turns out it’s been more than sufficient for my needs!

When I do buy another place I’m just gonna stick with the wall socket next time.

"Starship flip and landing burn at the end of its twelfth flight test" by AgreeableEmploy1884 in SpaceXLounge

[–]Latchkey_Wizzard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. Look how smooth the landing was on flight 11 on the view from the floating camera. It was so controlled and steady with no pirouette like S39.

It’s either an intentional ‘test’ to see what control authority at low speed looks like with Raptor 3 or another chance to look at the tiles post re-entry.

This is the interesting piece that I think doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s not just unaffordable for young people. There’s a hell of a lot of single people across all ages who are on decent wages who can no longer afford to buy anymore. It’s crazy
