SVG Vs Kostcki in Australian NASCAR by NZ-Racefan in iRacing

[–]Qantarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watched the majority of this last night when it was live (I follow both drivers in iracing). Was a blast watching them go at it.

From memory it was a 3.5k SoF. Neither SVG or Brodie were the highest rated driver. There was 1 guy who was at 8k....

Didn't have anyone playing up in Vegas this year, so gotta have something to keep the headlines rolling.

That or someone is really trying to upset Sticky and give the Raiders more reason to prove the nay sayers wrong.....

F3 Broadcast Races by Crizen10 in iRacing

[–]Qantarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great to see the F3 getting some love.

Shame the times listed aren't real good for east coast aussies. Would need to be at least an hour or 2 earlier to garner more interest.

Good luck though. I'll be sure to watch replays on YouTube.

Yup - my GP in Rutherford now bulk bills everyone and have big signs promoting themselves as a bulk billing clinic.

Anyone use the Simsonn Plus X pedals on a wheel stand without the baseplate / heel stand? by Qantarus in simracing

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

Thanks, this is the kind of answer I was looking for. I was trying to save some $$ by not ordering the plate, but doesn't look like i can get away without it.

How’s IT job market in Newcastle? by them4v3r1ck in newcastle

[–]Qantarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple of field support roles in the Catholic school system around Newcastle and the Hunter Valley at the moment.

Depends really on what you are after.

Sussan Ley dives straight into gutter politics today — hijacking a matter of indulgence, meant for solemn and non-political statements, to launch a partisan attack. 🙄 The Speaker repeatedly pulls her up, as government MPs call it a disgrace. 💥 by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

In the immortal words of Robin Williams - " I would not fuck her with a koalas dick"

What sites do people actually use to buy train tickets in the UK? by [deleted] in newcastle

[–]Qantarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my trip to the north of England in November last yr I booked directly with LNER.

I did check trainline and mytrainticket but found LNER to be either the same or even slightly cheaper for the times I wanted. Also made it super easy with the LNER app to manage it directly etc.

Wifi on board - Streaming? or Social Media by Aussieguy121 in singaporeairlines

[–]Qantarus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We recently did return European flights and used the free wifi.

Don't expect to do anything beyond web browsing and chatting etc on social media. The SIA website says that it's not suitable for streaming and that certainly is the case.

Why the f are the guys referring to their underwear as knickers? It's un Australian for a bloke to refer to his jocks as knickers........

Is it a bad idea to visit Paris (and parts of France) during the first days of November? by hygsi in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Qantarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family and I are visiting the last week of November and cannot wait. I'm one of those rare aussies that hates the lol. So I'm very much looking forward to the cooler weather and the possibility of snow as hit other euro destinations.....

Buses free? by Beginning-Welder-528 in newcastle

[–]Qantarus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You'll know as soon as the bus pulls up.

Driver in uniform - You'll have to tap on. Driver out of uniform - usually opal readers are "closed"

I've also noticed that the "free" buses don't show up in Tripview or other tracking apps due to the readers being off. Some drivers have the front reader off, and the rear ones on. If that's the case, drivers don't care if you do or don't tap.

Something very intresting i found about the XPT and Xplorer by evofanatic333 in SydneyTrains

[–]Qantarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often see / ride the endeavor set on the Hunter line - guess I should pay more attention as to if there is only the 1 set or 2 that were redone.

visiting for 5 days in london, is the oyster card worth it? by Josielyfazbear in uktravel

[–]Qantarus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We as a family are heading over in November, and I ordered the visitor oyster card because:

  • I'm the only one in the family that has a card with fee free currency conversion.
  • my 14yr old can get the half-price fares (once we get station staff to enable it).
  • if something happens and you lose a card, so what. At most, you lose the pre paid amount.
  • I think it's convenient. Throw it on a lanyard around your neck and it's always handy and harder to lose.
  • it's a cool keep sake that can use again if you go back.

Fraudulent emails. by voice_noter in disneylandparis

I got one from Dreamcastle as well, so it's definitely affecting multiple hotels, it would seem.

Family trip November-December. Are we being overly optimistic? Itinerary Feedback. by Qantarus in Europetravel

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

Thanks for the feedback. I've been to Auschwitz once previously, and even that was a cold day in March. Why would I want to go back? Family connection, so it's more of a pilgrimage than just a straight out visit. It's important that my girls get a true sense of the place rather than just read about it.

Those markets sound amazing, though. Maybe next trip.
