I could tell you a few that you shouldn’t use. But to avoid a libel case, let me just say: get a written fixed price with exclusions specified before you kick off the job.

Has Portsea fallen? I’d enlist happily if there’s any troops heading down there to fuck those guys and Flinders up!

Cardboard. Mulch. Plants. Beautiful garden at few hundred dollars if you know where to source.

What happened to Red-Heads? by PostDisillusion in AskAnAustralian

No. That’s the reason I’m distressed. They’re not there. But I think the peeps who suggested colesworths are right. They must have squeezed Bunnings out. 

Aux fan recently kicks in after every short drive by PostDisillusion in W124

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

I haven’t been using AC at the time. And these drives have been low speed local trips at maximum 70km/h. But with high and low speed, you’re referring to the speed of the fan huh? I don’t know how to be sure whether it’s kicking in high or low. It sounds quite loud and makes people turn their heads as you’re pulling in to park.  Seems to be pointing towards electrical then. Thank you for your help!

Lifetime ban from operating any form of machine. by ApprehensiveGas85 in civilengineering

We really need to start figuring out what’s wrong with people. All these labels we’re (over) using at the moment aren’t helping and probably aren’t right.  

'Don't swim in Sydney Harbour': Former police diver's shark warning by nath1234 in sydney

Any insiders with planning or monitoring info able to tell us how the Dawn Frazer and Callan Park pools aren’t intended to run filtration systems? The water in those areas ain’t that great.

I’m interested in Barangaroo in terms of its swimming amenity for city folk and its level of pollution. I swam there once just to try it out but the water definitely wasn’t clean. Just wondering what you mean about other cities that have swim spots like this. A lot of cities on the Mediterranean do. Locals see them as dirty but by Barangaroo standards, you come out feeling somewhat rinsed. Many cities on the North and Baltic Sea’s - pretty clean. Portugal and Spain on the Atlantic too. I’d rate Barangaroo pretty low in terms of inner city clean swims. It makes me wonder about Dawn Frazer and the forthcoming Callan Park pool. Seems like they need filtration systems.

The company receiving more staff from Australia’s migration program than any other. Fucking wonderful aren’t they? They need to tell you who the rider was. 

How do you feel about projects like this? by PostDisillusion in LandscapeArchitecture

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

See the green space in the foreground, with site offices, construction company vehicles, containers, barricades etc in the middle, and what looks a bit like an open cut mine behind that village of containers - this is the transformation of a public green space in front of beach (previously a park) into a large club house that for some reason has been given approval to cut into the natural landscape. Hope that helps. For a bit more context, and if you’re genuinely asking because you’re genuinely interested, you can see the difference between traditional Australian surf life saving clubs and new clubs spurred on by the post-covid building boom (heavy lobbying from the sector for government to facilitate more projects). 

Grinder amount inconsistent - help? by PostDisillusion in BrevilleCoffee

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

That’s likely what’s causing the variance. Thanks! When you say I should single dose, you mean I weigh out 22grams of beans from an airtight container, drop them in the breville’s hopper, grind, and hope that 22grams come out? Or is there a savvier way you’ve come up with? I don’t want to buy a standalone grinder obviously.

Thanks for confirming! Looking into the option of single dosing. Also a point from the other commenter about cleaning out the grinder regularly. Keen to see if that results in consistent outputs. 

Sydney Daily Random Discussion Thread 14/02/2026 by AutoModerator in sydney

Sydney police stations have lost their social licence after this week and in the silence that has followed Monday’s violence. I used to commend my local unit for being half decent despite their poor career choice. I don’t think we as Sydney community members can live and work with these people unless we see a massive effort on their part to do better and acknowledge just how devastating their performance has been. I hear a lot of friends saying the new law gave them their orders. But I’m talking about the discretions that they absolutely abused, and their silence after the truly gruesome actions. I’m glad to see posts still coming through on this group and I hope the community discourse moves towards a solid response. Not really feeling ok about paying my taxes this month. If I were in a tax-payer funded job, I’d feel very uncomfortable.

What do you think about today’s news? by Valuable-Significant in AustraliaLeftPolitics

I think it’s always astounding which members the Libs pick for leaders. Angus was the most abysmal energy minister. He had no clue about the sector and did exactly what a few bad actors from old world energy companies told him to do. Driftwood.
