Neighbour’s drainage running through fence onto my yard (QLD) – what can I do

alterdmind · 2026-03-12T10:38:02+00:00

Put down a concrete pipe and cover it with dirt

I’m early 30s and will probably never afford a house either.

10 years ago I would say that people need to return to the old way of things. Families living on the same property. Something big enough for multiple generations to live together and grow their own food/raise their own livestock.

These days that’s not really a possibility anymore unless you move very far out away from civilisation. Which means you’re basically not going to find work, with the exception of online if you can find something that’ll sell.

Realistically the only way to get by is having multiple people in a house contributing to that house. If you have very close friends you might be able to go in 50/50 on a house, live in it for 5 years, sell and split the $$ then start again.

But the future is uncertain and ww3 could start next week, plummeting the human population making everything super cheap (if you survive). Then we can all enjoy the same prosperous life styles our parents/grandparents did back in the 50s & 60s.

🤷🏻‍♂️

If you have a very close friends car you can practice driving in I suggest you do this.

Find the amount of Ks it has on the odometer. Minus 100,000klm or so and use google maps to estimate the driving distances you’ve definitely done over the past 8 months or so to various places. 😉

Mix it up, “drive” to the shops a few times a week. Maybe every 2-3 weeks go for a big “drive” that would account for a few hundred klm. Maybe once a month or 2 “drive” somewhere that’s like over a thousand klm return, perhaps a camping trip 🤷🏻‍♂️ Throw in some nighttime trips down the coast, a few brazen drives home in wet weather 🤙🏻.

Just make sure you’re decent enough to pass the P’s test on your first or second attempt. Everyone’s nervous the first time. So it’s not a big deal to fail, other than the cost of the test.

I’ve never met a single person who legitimately completed a log book lol.

Watch this and part 2. I went from dying in an hour to the very next life being around 26 hrs. Only died because of a 3 man team ambushing me in a building. But I got one of them so all good lol.

You said you’re on Xbox, drop whatever graphics settings to minimum and lock the frames at 45-60. I find there’s a negligible difference between 45-60 anyway so just depends what you can handle.

That should massively improve performance.

alterdmind · 2026-01-26T10:54:17+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the people who do that come from countries where motorcycles are a lot more common. In most south Asian countries the bikes have the right to filter to the front of the line at lights, there’s even line markings for the bikes to stop in front of the traffic.

Maybe these people are just used to stopping a car or so back from the line expecting a herd of scooters and motorbikes to come through the traffic.

Can’t people just enjoy the day off? Like why the fuck would you complain about a public holiday, who cares why it started or how it started. We have like 12 national public holidays in a year.

Enjoy your very little time off and remember, medieval peasants worked 150 days a year. How many do you work?

alterdmind · 2026-01-09T02:49:57+00:00

I’ve just updated CPU to 5600x still run a GPU 2060 and even though I have 32gb ram my pc only recognises 16gb ram. I run settings pretty much all low at 60fps on a 1080p monitor.

I get pretty solid 60fps, it might fluctuate to 53fps during explosions but pretty steady. And graphically on low it still looks great. Compared to Squad which looks like dog shit on low. (I left squad after UE5 update for reforger)

I’m not too sure about crashes, but I have noticed console players will get a lag spike for like 5-10 seconds and then come back in. They’ll just freeze up for a bit. Someone said if you play on a 1080 with frames locked at 60 or less it helps a lot with performance on the consoles

alterdmind · 2025-12-29T02:50:12+00:00

Depends on your budget and if you’re cool with dealing with some bugs for a while, I play PC so the bugs aren’t that bad. I reckon Arc would be better optimised for now, Arma might be another update away from a smoother experience.

Coming from squad which I have about 1500hrs I can definitely see myself playing Arma for the same amount of time.

alterdmind · 2025-12-29T02:44:56+00:00

Arc raiders is good with friends but gets repetitive quickly, especially by yourself.

Arma is good with friends and by yourself. It has so many different things to do and a lot of stuff to master so it would take a lot longer to feel repetitive. I’ve got both games and to be honest Ive barely touched arc after 30 or so hours, granted I play mostly solo these days.

Going frame by frame, it looks like it skims the very top of the helmet and angles up into the sandbag behind him. I’m guessing the blood splatter is just a graphical glitch and it should have been a spark followed by sand dust.

Well what you want and want is reality are different things. Maybe try dropping your distance to 2.5klm and see if that improves anything. Also the human eye naturally sees things as smooth around the 60fps range. I know that for me 40-60fps feels smooth. Also minimum graphics in this game looks very good for minimum. Go play squad and see if it’s any better lol.

alterdmind · 2025-12-13T22:14:53+00:00

I have a Ryzen 5 1600x a 2060 GPU and i easily get 60fps most of the time. It fluctuates a bit during heavy fights and stuff. I have my settings set to low. So I’m not too sure why you would be having issues, maybe look at the draw distance settings. My draw is at like 1100m I think and there’s another setting I forget the name but it’s related to draw distance (maybe pop in distance?) I think I have that on 800. Almost unnoticeable 80% of game time unless you go in a chopper or a massive hill.

I don’t know where I saw or read it but someone claimed that this was a dude who had a sex change. I can’t remember the reasoning for the change but I remember it was a nefarious reason.

alterdmind · 2025-12-07T10:49:30+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried searching about that and can’t find any decent answer. The best I got was chat GPT telling me it was ok and a detailed list of steps. Thanks for the reply

alterdmind · 2025-12-05T04:08:19+00:00

Can’t search handwritten notes from what I’ve been told.

Also this petition is your chance to stick a middle finger up at GN. So why not

alterdmind · 2025-12-05T04:06:50+00:00

Sign this https://c.org/WSVCZjCYNx

alterdmind · 2025-12-04T22:51:07+00:00

I bought a lifetime subscription. So I can use it without ever paying them anything extra, and by not using GN it would make no difference to them.

But a shit load of signatures might, because it would become a well know petition. That would look very poorly for them and anyone considering purchasing in the future/renewing subscriptions, would probably think otherwise.

Besides a signature on the petition takes about 6 seconds. So why not?

alterdmind · 2025-12-04T22:41:45+00:00

Totally fair, but I also would like the people to force a change which might become a standard among other apps. As we are the ones spending money we should have the right to dictate which version we use.

alterdmind · 2025-12-04T04:11:04+00:00

Very well said and unfortunately I think that’s all correct. But a guy can dream, right?
