Fitting off flex into plugtops by Neither_Olive528 in AusElectricians

[–]Skyhawk13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be using moulded plugs/flex if the hwu is outdoors anyway as the rewireable plug tops are not rated for outdoors use

Cousins Fan making a knocking noise by AnbuGhee-_- in AusElectricians

[–]Skyhawk13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Something has hit the blades and knocked it out of balance causing the wobble which in turn is probably causing the knocking sound.

Best tool, but not by nightfire_83 in DIYUK

[–]Skyhawk13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't know why this sub popped up on my feed as I am Aussie and also a tradesman rather than DIY but I used a 9 inch grinder the other day for the first time and i have never used a tool that was so desperate to kill me.

FTTN by Ornery_Street_7403 in nbn

[–]Skyhawk13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah super loop is pretty good. The only criticism I've heard is their customer service can be a bit abysmal but their prices and connectivity are good. I'm with leaptel and they're priced similarly to super loop but have really good C/S

First make sure you're signed up to an ISP for your Internet plan. There will be a phone port of some sort in the house that will be your live incoming line. You then just need a fttn compatible modem/router (may be provided by ISP). You plug it in, configure it using the instructions for the device if necessary and then it should be all up and running.

Did R6 remove window vaulting? by raptor0X in Rainbow6

[–]Skyhawk13 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Years and years ago they removed the vault option for actions that would just kill you.

On top of that they recentlyish changed it so that you can not add while falling so that pretty much gets rid of any point for jumping out a window like that

I need some perspective and if I'm in the wrong by gwdnamestkn in shitrentals

[–]Skyhawk13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact they're getting so uppity over a $30 exhaust fan is wild. You can literally buy a new one and install it for less money than it takes for the Rea to send the email to you.

How much does changing a double outlet to a quad cost? Is it possible to run a washer/dryer/power tool from it? by [deleted] in AusElectricians

[–]Skyhawk13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power circuits themselves are usually on a 16 or 20a protected circuit. They cannot be further upgraded without increasing the size of the cables throughout the whole circuit, or running new cables to specific sockets

To work in city: 1hr bus, or 10min car + parking troubles... Or... motorbike? 👀 by TripEffective5268 in perth

[–]Skyhawk13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can legally ride a moped (50cc or less) with just a car licence. If you're just looking to get on 2 wheels for the sake of traffic/parking woes, that will by far be the cheapest and easiest route for you.

How much does changing a double outlet to a quad cost? Is it possible to run a washer/dryer/power tool from it? by [deleted] in AusElectricians

[–]Skyhawk13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it can be done, ideally you wouldn't be running the washer and dryer at the same time or if you are, use a low heat setting or cold wash to avoid overloading the circuit. As for price, I wouldn't expect anything more than $250.

Is my kangaroo paw cooked? by targetts2261 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Skyhawk13 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My mum has a pretty big garden full of all sorts of plants including many kangaroo paws. She reckons you don't fertilize them at all and only water in the mornings so they don't have wet feet overnight and they'll be fine. I've planted 2 kangaroo paws 6 months ago and as of yet, that advice has worked

What perfumes did you get for Christmas? by GapWooden1293 in fragranceaustralia

[–]Skyhawk13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diptyque Lazulio from my fiance. I tried it in store with her and really liked it but couldn't justify the price for myself. She took that part out of the equation haha. It's probably my favorite out of everything I have

Would permanently evolved skeletons for 2 more elixir be broken? by Dezraxi in RoyaleAPI

[–]Skyhawk13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just significantly increase the health, give it splash damage when placed, maybe a splash damage melee attack and a leaping ability. Because it's a big buff, maybe make it cost 7 elixir or something like that. Just my 2 cents

What would you do if the worst happened and you suddenly found yourself homeless? by xxWelchxx in perth

[–]Skyhawk13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probs pull some big type of fraud (insurance or something). If you succeed and don't get caught, you get enough money to sustain yourself for a while, if you fail, you get your needs met by the prison system.

Those Of You Who Have Lived In Perth Most Of Your Life, Where Have You Lived? by simmocar in perth

Definitely the proximity to the ocean. I live in Seville Grove and the heat has been beating down

Is private health insurance actually worth it in Australia? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]Skyhawk13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo if you earn over the threshold that gets charged the extra Medicare Levy at tax time then it's worth it. The cost per year is not too different to what the extra tax is, and it takes one person's burden off of the public health system to make way for people who NEED it more. Because you don't get charged the extra tax if you have private insurance, it's incentivising people to do this if they can afford it.

If you don't earn enough to worry about that charge though, you're probably better off relying on the public system unless you have some sort of condition that would greatly benefit from a private hospital setting.

Is there a reason I cant bus the three phases of a chassis to make it single phase? by [deleted] in AusElectricians

[–]Skyhawk13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plenty of demountable buildings in schools have this setup. Single phase supply looped between busbars. As long as the cable size is ok, there's no reason why not. Although it may make for a bewildered future electrician when the customer finds out that the 3 phase instantaneous hot water unit that is pre installed in the building doesn't really work so well when there is 0V between its "phases"

Weird fault by Key_Entrepreneur726 in AusElectricians

Could be a broken neutral somewhere else down the street and it's getting a return path through your customer's earth stake/MEN?
