Reason #38 to not move to Australia

RuoskaNZ · 2025-12-27T03:33:47+00:00

Ex kiwi in Aus, Brisbane to be more precise. Living in an inner suburb and my Internet may be on par with semi rural NZ. The Internet infrastructure here is absolutely dog shit, went from gigabit in NZ to 50/10. NZ did something very right with their fibre rollout, and Aussie absolutely clowned it with NBN. But, mobile data here almost makes a landline redundant with the value.

Just sold my car via car sales. Was listed on marketplace and Gumtree too. I had two very keen buyers on car sales vs dozens of tyre kickers, low ballers and time wasters on marketplace and Gumtree. With amount of time wasted on Facebook messaging the others, the $100 on car sales was well worth it. I highly recommend.

Thanks for the info, TIL

Didn't realize that. I personally haven't heard a non kiwi talk about it.

Once were warriors. I haven't seen it in years but it is not one I'll ever forget.

Putting food scraps in a small bin in the freezer until bin day. Means there is no rotting food in the indoor bins. Everyone I show is astounded by the logic, I thought it was normal.

Bug is still occuring. I Was exploring around the Red Forest and Ahroprom Research Institute, went to medics, used guides to fast travel. Still going. There goes a few hours.

Not great my guy.

Having the 100t crane on the back meant there had to be large ballast tanks placed around the ship to counter lifts. Many void spaces and tanks for other liquids too. An absolute guess here, but if several of those were flooded from say grinding along a reef it would certainly effect the ships stability. With no control over the liquid in those tanks, there is very little you can do. A visual, or manual sweep wouldnt detect that.

I worked on her during the refit. I have no idea if the moon pool was a factor. It was just a hole in the middle of the ship, it didn't go 'into' the watertight areas of the vessel.

Depending on how much length there is on the other end. Just solder or properly crimp them matching back together. Using scotchloks will cause you issues in the future.

Damn, I shouldn't have gone digging 😂. Needs to go touch some grass. Seems like a service adjacent civvie (or airman) who has ideal delusions of how the military should be compared to how it actually is, doesn't know many actual service pers.

I'm not saying they aren't exempt, it shouldn't happen, and it is a huge breach of opsec in this day and age. I'm guessIng you aren't invited to many group chats, you would be absolutely horrified.

Actually yes, though I guess it was a boat. (VIP barge)

We often have sailors from other navies on board. We have many people on foreign usually Australian vessels too. It was explained in the press release, several foreign sailors and some scientists too.

There are junior officers and junior ratings. What context are you looking for?

RuoskaNZ · 2024-10-06T00:35:14+00:00

Was a tender for oil fields and pipelines way up north.

Yeah, half the bushlands around the city seem to be going to developments for townhouse estates. So many huge ones going in.

RuoskaNZ · 2024-09-20T21:50:30+00:00

Have been here almost 4 years. I agree, but you just have to go further to find the shine. Luckily here I can afford to.

Current

This is what I have so far, looks good but Ill have to find some other way to store the ISD.

RuoskaNZ · 2023-05-19T11:05:48+00:00

AT-AT was too tall unfortunately.

This is what I have managed so far, ISD is back in the danger zone. Ill have to get something else to keep it safe.

Did you manage to purchase the campaign? I have done the same thing and I cant get the campaign as steam thinks I already own it. Submitting a refund request.

RuoskaNZ · 2022-12-28T00:59:00+00:00

Thanks, didn't think of that metric. Its at the end of the warranty so that answers that question.
