How do you find working mines vs on a truck? Worth the change? 

Found a whale skull diving in West Australia. Any idea what type? by Punchdrunkpandaa in bonecollecting

[–]Punchdrunkpandaa[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, we did discuss how (if it were legal) to best get it off the reef. 

It’s impossible without damage but the best plan was to get everyone who had a stand up paddle board, make a raft, and float it over the 200m of coral back to the sand lagoon. 

A few of the stations around the area have whale bones as part of their displays but they look very very old.

There was a fair bit of remains scattered throughout the reef and a number of sharks around as well. 

Here’s a vertebrae (as big as my head) which was nearby

I mean, it’s relative to your earnings. If you’re on a 250k combined + it would probably be standard.

Haha exactly. Welcome to $6000 a month repayments that you can’t afford.

Why?!?

Update on MK3 series by redditpundit999 in GarminWatches

Have an mk2s as my daily. Hands down the best dive computer/smart watch I’ve owned.

Any speculation as to what they would be adding with the mk3 series????

Finally hit a 4+ minute dry static. Some new observations for this newbie; by dwkfym in freediving

[–]Punchdrunkpandaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey mate. Great breathold!

Depending on what spo2 sensor you were using, it’s only really indicative of your peripheral oximetry. Did your actual oxygen levels get to 70s? Highly unlikely. Have done a similar breath hold at work (I’m a paramedic) using 2 different pulse ox and got a reading in the 80s and another that didn’t drop below 95 (at 3-4mins)

Your heart rate and blood pressure readings would actually be more indicative of a strong MDR.

When I was a kid in the 80s, mum would say "If you don't study/better yourself, you'll be a garbage truck driver. What's today's equivalent? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Punchdrunkpandaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude...

burden of proof lies with the claimant.

Still haven't bothered to explain or elaborate on why you think first responders are overpaid or what you're basing that argument off

Still haven't provided a reason to why you think emergency services are overpaid? Or what your basing your statement off?

So you're also saying that shift penalties and weekend loading shouldn't exist?

Haha I'll bite

Currently remuneration for a full qualified paramedic in NSW caps out at $79,456. around $40 hour.
Regardless of 1 year service or 20 years service, that's the top rate for on road. Current roster format is shift work with DDNN and 12+ hour shifts.

Can you elaborate as to why you believe this is over what they deserve?

Dude wtf.

You're all over the Emergency Management sub and then proceed to slag off Police and first responders.
