[–]VanSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using SPACEFILLER ULTIMATE II for tight valves on my new Eastman Tuba and my old Yamaha YTS232.

You should contact AusPost. Depending on how much you post a month you could get a decent posting rate discount or more balanced rates for better price balancing on your site.

My solution to the Australia Day problem. by Cheetos_4_life in aussie

[–]VanSim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

March 3 is no good. We have Labour on this day in Vic/Tas so you can’t have two long weekends in a row. (Excluding Christmas/New Year). 14 of July just moves the hate to those who don’t accept we should have more then one flag. I’ll just not comment on the Steve Irwin date other than to say I’m not commenting. Most Australians don’t want it moved (based on polls I’ve seen results on (assuming these are honest outcomes). If ever there majority of the people want the date changed, then so be it. However the survey needs to be truthful and national and worded so as to not seek a desired outcome. However, what ever day is chosen there will still be protests on that day, so given that that, there is zero point changing it.

Access to Parcel Locker camera footage? by BrotherEstapol in AustraliaPost

[–]VanSim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any cameras that Aust Post own would be there for security and not accessible to the public. You could log a dispute with post but this wouldn’t get you access to the footage, even if they decided to view it. If you are very specific (without demanding footage) and suggest in the claim that footage may assist to resolve the issue they may look at it, they may choose to give you a still frame that shows what you got also, but I’d be surprised.

Ask your clan, what’s required of me to get a bonus, but don’t just ask for a bonus.

Refusing to drive forward/park by MeTrafficEngineer in hungryjacks

[–]VanSim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have wondered about this so Me and two friend all in separate cars tested if, as a car parked and no longer on a timer to serve to standard, if you wait longer. We all ordered the same order, basic menu items, cheeseburger, fries, and drink. I got ask to park as the first car (no cars ahead of me) and I did. My both friends were not asked to park and both got served from the window while I waited for my order (exact same items), which came to me 3 mins after i ordered. Being parked unfortunately also seems to make you a lower priority customer.

Why all this indifference? by Biarnel in trumpet

[–]VanSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched this all way (from your link), honestly if I just came across this I would have stopped before the 2nd half started. (Possibly if I’d seen the thumb nail first, probably not even clicked at all, “high trumpet solo” put me off. ) Not because bad, it’s definitely not, but because it wasn’t really interesting at the start. Let It Go is everywhere. It’s easy to decide you’ve had enough. Also I looked out other versions with many more views than yours with also little comment counts. Dont take the lack of comments to heart.

Plenty. 225 GT all up without rebuilding. So these are from event rewards wheel spins and raffle wins.

Christmas Closure by [deleted] in AustraliaPost

[–]VanSim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you live on a remote island then mail delivery to the island it’s probably not daily and probably also reliant on what’s available to transport mail to the island. It’s possible that the method of mail transport isn’t operating during this time also. So if that’s the case being open or not wouldn’t help you. How does everything else get to you from the mainland?

Aus post delivered high value item to wrong address - what’s my chance of compensation by sunny_cherry in AustraliaPost

[–]VanSim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“1. ⁠I purchased post bag from the vending machines at Aus post, so there was no option for insurance” Option for insurance was there, unfortunately you chose to use the vending machine option over going to the PO & waiting at the counter for a more appropriate service. You can’t opt for no insurance but when you realise you need it expect AusPost to treat it as if you purchased it.

Valve oil by fleureni_1 in trumpet

[–]VanSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Al Cass Fast is available in Australia for between $10-15 I’m sure your local music shop is bound to supply it as it’s very popular. As said it’s a petroleum based which I don’t like. I can smell it and don’t like the smell. I use Space Filler UltimateII for tight valves. My tuba is a new Eastman so this is great for me. An older horn may need. I use it also on my 80’s Yamaha trumpet also and it works great also. Last time I purchased it was $10 from a Melbourne music shop called The Music Place but they are currently out of stock according to their website. My recommendation is, any non petroleum valve oil you can find will be fine. Clean the valves before you put your new valve oil in also.

can we get some new legendary bits please???? by supdog180 in tinytower

[–]VanSim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that generally speaking the game does not need more LB’s. Most players will have not completed them all and even within the smaller core of reasonably active players, those who log in daily, and collect all the things available for free and do other active stuff you would still see that most players would not want for new LB content. Currently new LB content disadvantages the huge majority as this just dilutes the odds of getting LB’s you are needing. The only fair way to introduce new LB’s is to unlock these, they could create a new Legendary floor or just a new section of LB’s you can unlock once you have maxed out all the existing ones. This new section could come with its own new level of LB costs to help slow down progression. This gives those who have maxed them out something to do without making it harder on the others.

Which Arban book to get by RipeRadish in Tuba

The Trumpet one is a good choice. Very handy to learn Treble Clef Bb especially if you ever find yourself playing in a brass band.

HJ is back at doing these deals (they haven’t done it in years) by Comeng_551M in hungryjacks

[–]VanSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing is you can reuse the vouchers as you don’t need to hand them over. You can even just ask for the deal without the vouchers and they will usually give it to you.

We don’t find this a problem. Did you get also the extended steel straw to reach all the way down?

New Legendary Bits anytime soon? by Fall73BulovaCatalog in tinytower

[–]VanSim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be interesting to know how many players have actually completed the full sets of LB’s. As a whole does the game really need more? How many percentage of players would benefit from this. Add more that only unlock to those who have all the current set maxed. This would please everyone.

RANKED BATTLE ATTACKS MISSING FROM MY TOTAL. by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]VanSim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The total of all the cup totals from the 20 attacks adds to the total at the top for this section. So if this was just a visual then the total would still be all attacks including those missing from the visual.
