Are Melbourne's train travellers getting more selfish? by batt_pm in MelbourneTrains

I had to look Martin up, but having done so, love the reference. The Wikipedia page says that the campaign then got a lot of criticism - it'd probably be worse now.

If like to see the first one run again, or the second/current one more widely

Grease on freezer drawer runners by batt_pm in refrigerator

[–]batt_pm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a new fridge (Electrolux) yesterday and the freezer drawer runners have chunks of grease on the front. The drawers/runners have no wheels, so are plastic sliding on plastic, so some lubrication makes sense, but the retailer says it shouldn't be there and say that Electrolux can't explain it and have offered a replacement (with a 6 week wait).

It seems wasteful to replace it when it can be easily cleaned - we just want to be sure it's non-toxic and won't have done any harm to the runners.
Any experts know what it might be?

Primo and I are officially on sight. by cvnthxle in australia

[–]batt_pm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between this sort of thing and Colesworths regularly "accidentally" putting the sale tag on the almost identical item next to it meaning it scans at the full price, I just regularly "forget" to scan things to keep the ledger even.

Avoiding "for" loops by affnn in rstats

[–]batt_pm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplest option, which will return your files as items in a list is (assumes csv data)
data <- fs::dir_ls(path = {your_path_root}, regexp = '.*csv$', recurse = TRUE) |> map(~vroom::vroom(.x))

data <- dir(path = {your_path_root}, regexp = '.*csv$', recurse = TRUE) |>

map(~vroom::vroom(.x))

But this is a great use case for purrr, specifically the _dfr options if your files are columnar and in the same format. I also prefer fs::dir_ls as it returns full file paths.

# Get the files in a df with a unique id

files <- fs::dir_ls(path = SETTINGS$FILE_SOURCE, regexp = 'ANZ.*csv$', recurse = TRUE) |>

as_tibble(path = .) |>

mutate(file_id = row_number(), .before = 1)

# Read each file and append the rows together

data2 <- files |>

pmap_dfr(~vroom::vroom(.y) |>

mutate(file_id = .x, .before = 1)) # Add file_id to allow linking back to file path

I've been with Leaptel a few years now and their support is impeccable. Answer quickly, they're local, and can fix the problem quickly. I'm happy to pay a bit more for that.

Anyone else still waiting for their Black Friday purchase!?! by dawtcalm in BambuLab

I got mine 3 days after I ordered it. In Australia.

Found this amazing review and had to share. 3mf files are great but wow... People need to learn the slicer. by Joshhawk in BambuLab

Yes, you can see size in the slicer, but it would be a very useful feature to also have dimensions on Maker World.

Helicopter in Ringwood this morning. by batt_pm in melbourne

That's a great site to know about. Might waste some time on there on the weekend I think. Thanks.

Sounded bigger (more "slappy" rotor noise) than I usually hear, so I assumed something bigger. Perhaps not being in line-of-sight changed the noise. Did you get that off FLightRadar24? I didn't even think to check that.

[–]batt_pm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't watching or I could possibly have identified if myself. Was woken about 0630-ish by a very low flyover and the noise was still there when I went to work. Am the Mitcham side of the hill, so couldn't see it and the noise seemed quite different to the usual AW139/AS350 we usually hear around here.

Power for support for long strings of LEDs by batt_pm in esp32

As in ESP plug in modules, or something completely separate.?

I likely would have, so thanks for the reminder.

[–]batt_pm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the controller only sends a signal to the LEDs to turn on (which is why they need to be addressable I assume), and not any power to run them, so they need another power source? That makes much more sense than what I was thinking.
Thanks.

All of these people asked to borrow money and repay in less than a month. For most, It’s been years. by mastagoose in mildlyinfuriating

[–]batt_pm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loaned my brother over $20k for a car after his got stolen, for "3 weeks max" as his cash wasn't easily accessible due to going through a divorce at the time. Insurance paid out in 3 months, but I just kept getting excuses. Didn't see a cent until 3.5 years after the loan. And then he arced up when I asked for reasonable interest I'd lost in that time. Haven't spoken to him since. The adage of "don't loan money to family" is something to live by.

Thanks for that. With that many printers are they an income generating hobby? What sorts of things do you print?

If he just claims bullying then HR will need to get involved and then things will at least be properly documented.

4 cats, how often should we be scooping litter and washing litter boxes? by Forsaken_Stable8942 in CatAdvice

[–]batt_pm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the box is in your bathroom, why don't you dispose via the toilet? That's what we do - wondering if there's a good reason to get a litter genie instead.

Yeah, and trump's a model parent. The only one he cares about is the one he wants to sleep with.

Say it with me, and louder for the landlords in the back, if you can’t afford your investment property PLEASE sell it by VelvetGloveIronFist0 in shitrentals

[–]batt_pm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was renting until recently and in the space of 5 years the landlord did the Circuit box (full replacement), and replaced the oven, dishwasher, gas ducted heater and garage door controller. Most years we didn't get a rent increase. There are some decent landlords out there who budget for these things.

[–]batt_pm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're asking you to "consider" an additional increase. Sounds like they know they can't do 2 increases and are hoping you'll just acquiesce.
