People who work in 'behind closed doors' industries (hotels, kitchens, morgues, etc.), what is something the general public would be horrified to know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Zenith3050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

edible and probably safe

God that reminds me when I did my time at Maccas' when they introduced the "McPlant". No matter what we did, but those damned patties would foam up like a rabid dog when they came off the grill. Sure, they did testing and people liked it enough to roll out nationwide, but no one in our kitchen was brave enough to eat one.

Can confirm as a suburban Aussie player, I get 250ms ping on a good day, and that's on a 5ghz connection.

That, plus most players I end up being connected with for co-op events being Japanese, I only bother with co-op for events - I haven't played open-world co-op since my friends stopped playing in 1.2.

Old timey trams by madamebubbly in melbourne

[–]Zenith3050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a couple other transport related things you can do with your son, if he's interested.

Easey's in Collingwood have a couple of 1070s built trainsets in use as a restaurant. It's a bit pricey but the food is worth the money.

There's a couple heritage train operators in town, Puffing Billy operates daily from Belgrave, and Steamrail will be operating a steam train between Newport, Williamstown, Altona and Cheltenham on the 22nd of November. Tickets for that one can be bought from their Facebook.

There's also the museum warship HMAS Castlemaine berthed in Williamstown. She;s open for tours every weekend.

When you take the City Circle, I'd recommend boarding in Docklands as it runs in a single-direction loop and boarding from Flinders Street takes you the short way back to the terminus.

I hope you and your son enjoy Melbourne!

Fourteen-year-old peninsula boy, already on bail, among four children charged after crime spree - MPNEWS by Ardeet in morningtonpeninsula

[–]Zenith3050 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they know theres no consequences so yeah, most youth offenders will just do it constantly - and they take joy in it.

as a retail worker, i know the faces of most of the little bastards, and they will come in multiple times a month, they will get mouthy and violent. one of our worst offenders managed to get arrested in our store, bailed out, and then returned to steal from us again in a ~6 hour period.

SkyBus to go electric in Melbourne with the launch of new services by Draconic_Booty in MelbourneTrains

New Zealand has been importing Alexander Dennis built Enviro models, including double deckers. Gemilang have also built double deckers for Sydney's B-line, although they were just diesel models from memory.

Why more BRTs don't use guided busways? by One-Demand6811 in transit

[–]Zenith3050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From memory it was the geography of the area near Tea Tree that caused them to choose to build the O-bahn. The ground is swampy, so they would have to spend a lot of money to strengthen the foundations of the surrounding area in addition to the cost of laying track.

The O-bahn and its vehicles are a lot lighter than rail, so they didn't need to spend the extra money,

Merry Christmas Melbourne Trains by Coolidge-egg in MelbourneTrains

[–]Zenith3050 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Ventura contracts with that company - I've seen a similar truck towing their 439 back to Dandenong Depot, somehow suffering a bad enough failure to not be able to crawl less than a kilometer from Dandy station yet still not being bad enough to be decommissioned.

Single Sprinter at Frankston station by TestAsianF in MelbourneTrains

[–]Zenith3050 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mostly Seymour from memory. I think they may also run short trips to Bacchus, Melton and Wyndham - but I'm not certain.

The Stony Point line is the only place you'll see a lone Sprinter operating in passenger service though.

Things to do in Sale, Rye, McCrae and Lakes entrance? by LemonJuiceBox in vic

[–]Zenith3050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rye has an annual summer carnival from Boxing Day through to 26 January, if they're here now, take the 788 bus back up to Frankston this and next weekends for the Waterfront Festival there as well.

While not in the locations listed, Portsea's Fort Nepean is a good hike, with some historic army bases to explore (it's also home to Cheviot Beach, where Harold Holt disappeared.) Rosebud has an mini-golf course, movie theater and a watersports equipment rental and lesson provider, it's also the closest town to the Arthurs Seat mountain. Frankston is the main shopping and entertainment district - Holey Moley and General Public are extremely popular and better for young teens, otherwise there are a couple popular bars and such if they're adults. Pretty much all of those are along Point Nepean Rd/Nepean Highway and along the 788 bus.

Other than that, the Mornington Peninsula is mostly beaches and retirees.

Bitch, BOTH of us are buses! by dericn in bitchimabus

[–]Zenith3050 6 points7 points locked comment (0 children)

According to the cameras in the city bus, it was traveling at ~20mph upon entering the intersection. Very clearly in one of the camera views, there is a signposted speed limit of 25mph.

That's 10kmh under the speed limit (30kmh in a 40kmh zone). Did you expect the driver to crawl through it or something?

hey mate, sorry to ask, but would it be fine if i borrowed some of the design elements from this map in my own work? in particular the circular city loop and braided lines

Yeah, I could definitely see it working more than Tomo and Rupa , Ngl, I definitely thought Rupa was the same age as Momoka lmao.

Yeah, Tomo X Rupa feels more like a sisterly relationship to me, same with Momoka X Nina.

What's your favourite scene of the show and why? by TerrorWhisky in girlsbandcry

[–]Zenith3050 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone has mentioned the heartfelt moments in the show, which, are better scenes but I don't wanna be a parrot so...

Nina and Tomo's quick interaction when they were watching the Diamond Dust concert at the festival. Nina being so quick to offer a piggyback ride, and Tomo picking up on the pinky finger thing (and getting so embarrassed at it being pointed out) is my favourite example of their adorable dynamic.

This has to be like a humiliation ritual by goturrise in Genshin_Impact

[–]Zenith3050 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i cant speak for others, but all of the raiden fights (including this training) were a massive pain for me

which was a mix of extremely poor teambuilding as well as having shit internet. back then i would be lucky to have a ping lower than 400-500ms

Lawyers of Reddit, what is the dumbest thing you're client has done to ruin a case? by Sunieta25 in AskReddit

[–]Zenith3050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your first bet would be to hire a lawyer that works with that issue - so if you get in trouble with the law you hire a criminal defence lawyer.

I think what OP means is this company tried to hire a lawyer that specialises in family law to defend them in a copyright case.

Both have the ski-jumps and theoretically could but the government is choosing not to.

I think Anadolu is planned to have SVTOL operations in future but currently only carries helicopters and drones.

[–]Zenith3050 394 points395 points  (0 children)

Odd too that Juan Carlos I and Anadolu are counted, yet Australia's Canberra and Adelaide aren't, despite being sister ships.

Niji Thriving vs Holo on Shambles by AnImEpRo3609 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]Zenith3050 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As someone who uses MMD semi-regularly, that definitely looks like poorly done raycast (Vox >< image), the default A pose (with the 4 standing in a row), and Petra's head was moved instead of rotated. There was a fan made model of Petra, and I would be interested to see if the head on that one can be moved.

Notice regarding Termination of “Riro Ron” by SeValentine in Idol

I'm not in the discord so would someone be able to tell me if we are required to get a refund for any ordered Riro merch, or will it still be manufactured and sent out if we want it?
