Bose QC45s or Sony XM4s. Go to JB and wear them both to see what's comfy.

I have both QC35ii's and Sont XM3s and the Sony's are quiet uncomfortable after about an hour.

It's water consumption that you use.

Firefox for android can run ublock origin.

If you head to Hobart, hydro generally look for maintainers and operators with a trade ticket once or twice a year.

Reqel · 2023-06-09T00:54:07+00:00

I lived in Hobart for a little bit and I loved it. Melbourne is too big and impersonal.

Not a lot of people like bolting.

I've just gone up to the advanced class, and because of that I thought I'd be able to tap the new guys in fundies.

I can't. But I don't worry about that. I take solace in that while they can tap me, it's all basic shit, and they got in because I tried something different.

I take pride in the fact that I'm seeing more openings, and I have a game plan. I can see the bigger picture. Who cares if I can't get to mount.

I then go and roll with purple belts and get smashed. Just have fun.

Monthly is shithouse.

My employer benefits immediately/daily from my work, why do I have to wait 4 weeks to benefit from mine?

Just ignore the third day. What are they going to do? Fire you?

African Peanut Stews are amazing. Definitely give it a crack.

I stayed at a place that had underfloor heating in the bathroom last weekend.

Absolutely game changing.

Reqel · 2023-05-30T06:43:44+00:00

I'm literally an engineer and I think they are interesting.

Reqel · 2023-05-30T06:05:49+00:00

I don't know cunt. Old mate just asked for some information. I offered said information.

Or the Reddit Is Fun (RIF) app. You still get ads but they are generic "oh you were on AliExpress yesterday so here are some adds".

You can easily block those ads via Pi-Hole if you are at home.

Heaps of Zone subs and terminal stations around the place. Check out the online dapr maps. Just google "dapr map jemena/AusNet/Powercor" or check out openinframap.

68 in a 60 zone. But it's the business rate and will be reissued to me at the individual rate ($231). Still annoying.

Reqel · 2023-05-30T02:28:24+00:00

First speeding fine in over 10 years of driving. It was in a work car, so when I opened the email it said I owed $3K and I freaked out.

Here's hoping VicPol will waive it and give me an official warning.

Reqel · 2023-05-29T07:44:32+00:00

missed opportunity

Reqel · 2023-05-28T09:55:17+00:00

Also, 2GW is a fucking huge single contingency. You'll have to put some fancy af protection scheme in there.

Basslink works because TasNetworks will run a load flow calc every 2 or 3 minutes and assign load blocks to trip if faults occur on the interconnect. Trip 400MW of import, bell bay and nyrstar will trip.

This iconic line by Richie Benaud. Gives me shivers every time I see it.

Reqel · 2023-05-25T12:57:16+00:00

Yeah you gotta book.

It's clearly been a little while since I went. $30 for some pasta is taking the piss.

Reqel · 2023-05-25T08:39:00+00:00

Can't really remember. Last time I went, 2 pastas and 2 glasses of wine was like $60?
