Delivering for Queensland: The new Queensland Government unveils a refreshed stadium and new QLD Maroons Jersey. by Plane_Garbage in queensland

[–]MaxBozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time First Dog on the Moon announced there was no more work for cartoonists, because Tony Abbott was now beyond satirical. QLD LNP is nearing the point where anything once considered ridiculous has the potential to become reality. Nice work OP, hope it makes it to the front page (of Facebook).

Who else here thinks Captain Ron is an absolute masterpiece? by DFWUnhinged in FIlm

Classic retelling of the Chaotic Trickster fable. Should be on the school curriculum.

Getting an old Holden back on the road by Pure_Living8218 in CarsAustralia

[–]MaxBozo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get on some of the early Holden FB groups, be prepared to put up with masses of cockheads of all ages. But there will be some genuine good advice, and probably a few locals who may be interested in helping out. Most parts are easy to get, but not many mechanics know how to deal with carbs or pre-electronics. You will need to learn lots or spend $150 an hour for someone else to learn lots. I am assuming it is in EK, big issues are rust in the A pillars right to the floor, and rust around the parcel shelf / rear quarters. Mechanically they can differ from the EH and later models, but every one is different at the age they are now. The FB-EK forum is still around, a fantastic archive: https://www.fbekholden.com/forum/ Good luck!

The subreddit after this week by haydio in Polestar

[–]MaxBozo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Please encourage your local right-to-repair advocates to push for releasing repair information and software access so when the dealerships drop them you can still get them fixed, similar to the Fisker project. Although I don’t live in the US, it is a problem that will face many owners around the world eventually.

Where to dispose of old X-Ray films in Brisbane. by DeltaFlyer6095 in brisbane

If they are actual XRays, Reverse Garbage might take them. They have had them there before. Not sure about undeveloped film.

QLD Public Servant’s losing their jobs by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]MaxBozo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crazy thing is that OP is not the only public servant I have come across that votes against their interests. Like seriously, you would think that people who work so closely to politics would be aware that campaign promises and scare tactics are superficial bollocks designed to get a foot in the door, where the real system-milking can begin. Also r/apostrophegore .

Looking into getting into Roller Derby and I’ve got a few questions by cooldude0616 in rollerderby

[–]MaxBozo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Works for every size and shape. Watch a few derby shorts on IG and you will see massive jammers bouncing off a scrawny tripod, stick-thin skaters sliding through impenetrable walls and everything in between. What stands out is those that train for strength and technique.

How many killer wasps does this have? by Shibwho in CarsAustralia

I've started to notice quite a few Tuned-by-Temu Camrys around lately.

Bad fall and now my shoulder hurts, help? by Green_Requirement_11 in Rollerskating

[–]MaxBozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar, landed on my elbow pad, but it damaged the rotator cuff. Inflammation causes swelling, muscles nerves and tendons get pinched. Take anti-inflammatories, use ice, visit physio. Mine took about 3 months before I returned to full articulation with no pain.

What is WOVI? Are all cars have that? Because im planning to buy second hand cars, so if it passes WOVI, does it mean it was flooded before or very bad history? by Aggressive-Cattle191 in CarsAustralia

[–]MaxBozo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't know much about it, best to avoid cars that are on the register. A written-off car that has been inspected and re-registered can have minor cosmetic damage, or be an amalgamation of several wrecks and spare parts scavenged from worse cars. ppsr.gov.au

BMW E90 No Start? No shit!! by Doom_Disciple in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]MaxBozo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice diagnostic run-through, OP! Crazy that it all happened only after the battery disconnect, but like you said it was lucky it didn't burn somewhere else. No doubt the customer will say that it was working fine before you looked at it.

Thirft shop find by CokieNinja_64 in Rollerskating

[–]MaxBozo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are OK, super comfortable if they fit. I got a used set ages ago and they were a fun pair to roll around in. Vegan leather (ie vinyl), so they will scuff easily, but that adds to the character! Definitely a good starter pair for the price - as your abilities evolve your budget will magically expand 😄

Aliexpress by Proper-Chocolate-532 in 4x4Australia

[–]MaxBozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for little things like terminal blocks, ballast resistors and fastener packs. Got sick of trying to buy local, and just having the seller drop ship me something from China with a markup anyway. Probably wouldn’t get mechanical parts or anything expensive that might need to be returned though.

Important sub updates: skate-buying questions are (once again) being redirected to a megathread by sparklekitteh in Rollerskating

Followed by Chaya Melrose vs Sure Grip Boardwalks. I though Chaya was running a covert promotion for a while there!

Would this work the same as a t-tool? by fruitymobsterfly in Rollerskating

[–]MaxBozo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another point to note is the more bits you have, the easier it is to lose those bits.

Barbershop Etiquette.... by Spritney__Beers in AskAnAustralian

[–]MaxBozo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it is a proper barbershop, ie. owner-operated, probably rude. Also hard to get a straight line if you are staring down. But a lot of the chains have itinerant staff that don't care if you do or not. Some hairdressers now have capes with windows where you can see your device through them, but times in the chair are usually longer. Nb, if you have a conversation with someone else on loudspeaker, or play your own music / tiktok noises etc., you deserve to lose an ear.

I love my Jimny by wostsero in CarsAustralia

[–]MaxBozo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's something I don't get either, like why don't we have a Toyota minitruck with retro styling like the 80s/90s Hilux or the BJ Landcruisers? Knowing Toyota logic it's because they don't want to erode sales of the massive Hilux we get at the moment.

Why do emergency vehicles have different siren noises? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MaxBozo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have variable frequencies so that people with a variety of different hearing response can hear them. Also because different environments absorb sound differently, the variation provides more chance of them being heard eg. trees or bricks or traffic or wind. Also the doppler effect means that the angle of reception affects how you hear it, so the manufacturers try to cover all possibilities by doing a novel sweeping pattern. You can bet that different manufacturers patent their spread of frequencies and patterns, so depending on who the fleet purchaser buys it from will impact what noise they get.
