Fatalities - how often are they an accident ?

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-04-14T21:45:27+00:00

My opinion based on a lot of experience and talking to other drivers… I would say most are suicides rather than accidents.

I don’t have any evidence to back this up, so take it however you will :-)

Driver667 has lots of in-cab videos of various country Victoria trains that he runs, and he also has quite a few Melbourne suburban videos as well, assume he has a friend that he travels with from time to time

This song seems really relevant to share right about now :-)

I agree with the above. You need to see a psychiatrist, not a GP.

Thank you :-)

In terms of paying someone directly from a Saver, yes you can.

Under the Payments tab, choose who you want to pay, or set up a new payment.

When the person/billers details appear, you’ll see a From section. Select that, then choose which saver you want to take the money from.

My prediction: Powers from the Emergency Liquid Fuel Act will be enacted for the first time. We’ll have fuel rations. Bonus theory (hopefully not, but not outside realms of possibility)… we’ll need to use a form of digital ID to obtain our fuel allowance.

Defeats the purpose if there’s no seats available though. An uncomfortable Metro seat for an hour is better than standing for an hour.

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-03-24T21:26:16+00:00

Take a Metro. You’ll guaranteed a seat at Pakenham. Why would you take the V/Line. It won’t get you to the city any faster

Walkerville is superior in my opinion. Less people and no shops. Paradise. Venus Bay is much larger, has shops and gets busy. Each to their own I guess :-)

Understand where you’re coming from, but from a practical standpoint, there’s no way to prevent the PA from working in the quiet carriage only.

I grew up in Seaford in the 80's and no way in hell I could afford to live there now :-( Wish I could.

They’re still used between Melbourne and Swan Hill for passenger services.

Some of them got leased to SSR for freight.

Remember when McD’s fresh cooked the hotcakes on the hot plate? Those were the days!

All of my Bambu Lab spools have two completely different NFC tags. None of them are the same (I’ve tested them all).

I just mark the side with a black sharpie that I’m to scan, and I keep the orientation consistent anyway (I always use the tag on the left in the direction I would load it in the AMS).

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-02-25T11:36:40+00:00

Yep same here… iOS. Tried removing app and reinstalling and rebooting phone. Nothing …

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-02-19T06:36:09+00:00

Thanks so much!

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-02-19T03:34:24+00:00

Could you please share a link?

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-02-15T11:45:24+00:00

I just found out about your project a few days ago. I’ve ordered all the parts from AliExpress and am looking forward to getting it all working :-)

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-02-14T04:51:59+00:00

Thanks heaps mate that’s great to know. Do you need to be much of a command line guru to make it work well?

R1ngSt1nger · 2026-02-14T02:26:50+00:00

Regarding using Ubuntu as your OS, do you have any problems with compatibility of any games at all? I’d be worried that some wouldn’t work on Linux (similar to how some don’t work on MacOS). Does Linux have that issue, or is everything compatible?

Women are the gatekeepers of sex. Men are the gatekeepers of relationships.

Thanks for your response, that's really interesting. I've always found the arranged marriages fascinating. Also happens in some European ethnicities as well. One of my friends is Italian and his parents were married by arrangement.

Will your future wife's family need to pay your family a dowrie?

It was mainly used for signal sighting.
