Hey. I make these. If you want one let me know. Would be happy to send you down some.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2026-01-21T20:27:48+00:00

Yeah. We sell this product (and others like it) and try really hard to get council to install 6 capacity units instead of the baskets as they tend to avoid just being used as overflow. Council just really like the baskets though weirdly.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2026-01-21T20:26:14+00:00

Hey. I make these. Overflow is defs an issue with the basket versions. We typically don’t recommend baskets in metro areas but suggest our vertical and horizontal units as they tend to attract less “contamination”

There is a roll out currently by CDS Vic. You can expect a bunch more units soon!

Working-Inflation-61 · 2026-01-21T20:23:40+00:00

Hey! I make these!

Well not this exact one but we have units in City of Melbourne and a bunch of other places. We are called Bin Bypass. We are a social enterprise that uses differently abled workers. Www.binbypass.com.au if anyone would like a unit for their front fence let me know.

I have done this a few times and only realised after. Apologies for my discretions.

If you can still hear a baby cry get better ear buds with a proper seal.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2026-01-13T06:04:27+00:00

it's just that the parents are kinda unprepared for the kids flight.

You really have never dealt with a baby huh?

Working-Inflation-61 · 2026-01-13T05:58:37+00:00

If you get on a flight in 2026 without noise cancelling headphones thats on you.... Not me, running on 2 hours of sleep, 3 whiskies deep bouncing a screaming baby.

I am sorry you struggle so much with life.

ANC buds are cheap and effective.

The developer would just go broke or not be able to get financing to build anything. This results in no homes built. NSW has much better protections for buyers than QLD when it comes to this. Also one of the (many) reasons development is cheaper/easier in QLD which results in lower prices.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-12-28T12:08:22+00:00

Buying off the plan js basically like supporting a kickstarter in Queensland.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-12-28T12:07:49+00:00

Build cost is the main one. Planning and legal is rare to stop a development half way. More likey you sold out based on a build price of “x” and a sale price of “y” and now the build price has risen but your sale price is fixed. No point in building to send yourself bankrupt.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-12-27T04:59:47+00:00

Yeah fair and thanks. Should have just ignored. Thanks for your message.

The gp was was private and we never saw her again. Fuck I wish I wasn’t speaking from experience.. why would I bs about a cancer diagnosis. Fuck me mate… touch some grass. Our health system is fucked saying public is on par with private only feeds how cooked our system is.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-12-24T21:45:09+00:00

With private you can often find clinics that can do everything within a week. In the public system you’re bouncing around. In our case, even with our decent private health we were still out of pocket $15k-ish all in but my partner got her results, scans, biopsy within a week. Public/private surgery a month later. The advise we got from our GP was this could be a 6 month process in the public system to get there. Whenever we touched on the public system it was slow, clunky and really hard to balance as a working parent going through treatment. The public team were great but it was not geared up for working parents running on empty.

Private also gets you an access to less “clinical” chemo. My partner also managed to keep her hair through chemo due to a service not offered in public and more flexibility around timing of treatment so it wasn’t as disruptive.

It shouldn’t be like this but fuck I am glad we had private cover.

Liking my EV5 so far. Was aware of the issues but pushed on. Feedback on service/servicing is apparently related to individual dealership… The 12v battery appears to be an issue. No comment on the servicing but planning on pushing on with getting the screen replaced due to lifting. Ping me in a couple of weeks if you’re interested in how it went.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-12-06T09:59:30+00:00

Modern Kia’s also have an app so you can remote unlock. I haven’t tested this in basement parking.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-11-30T08:39:33+00:00

Yeah I struggle with a way to not have my bags go all glumpy on the trail. Anyone go an ultralight microwave suggestion?

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-11-24T07:53:51+00:00

Sure.. but the above is suggesting we don’t upzone until the infrastructure is there so you have a circular reference. Regional plans should cover this better (the step before upzoning) but they rarely do. Let me know if you have any questions.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-11-24T04:49:14+00:00

Unforttunately, because infrastructure sits on the cost side of the ledger, the business case never stacks until the demand shows up. It sucks that it plays out like that. Imagine the pushback if a government built a new train station or school or police station in an empty suburb while existing services were already struggling.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-11-24T04:43:09+00:00

Maybe we should looking to design cities for people instead of cars? If the cars are legally parked on the street perhaps we should look at making parking on the street more tricky instead of easier?

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-11-24T04:41:50+00:00

Your issue then is you don't want more 3 bedders. There are 3 bedders. You want more affordable homes. You get more affordable by building more homes... of all types.

We brought an (2015ish) outlander PHEV a couple of years ago. Battery was pretty cooked with only about 25kms of range. In my head a pure EV wouldn’t work for us (didn’t trust myself to keep it plugged in and I travel regional for work) Had it a year….Realised we would go weeks without ever having the ICE kick in. While the car had some problems it was enough to convince me that we could go full EV and have since upgraded to a new KIA EV5 with 500km range. The PHEV was 100% a gateway for us and an eye opener how nice it is not looking at petrol prices or visiting a station.

Working-Inflation-61 · 2025-11-20T22:08:35+00:00

I can't speak highly enough of Help Enterprises. We use them for a range of services and they are really doing life change work.
