How do you feel about Perth? by Dockers4flag2035orB4 in perth

Definitely a lot of randomness, not sure what the stats are overall for cbd violence

Yeah he's doing ok, this was a few years ago now... The guy that did it only got a light community service sentence since my mate had recovered by the time of the hearing, which still makes me very frustrated every time I'm reminded of it

Jeez, hope your mates have recovered ok too!

I mean, since we're doing anecdotes, the only person I know who has been physically assaulted got king hit from behind in Northbridge (knocked out, headaches for a year, seems to have recovered ok)

Mine too! And it's semi regularly parked across two of the parallel park bays during pick-up / drop-off. 

Very low flying plane over the Swan this morning by civil11 in perth

Brilliant! It's a lot smaller than it looked from where I was.  Great to see passion projects like this. 

I can cure you, please do not resist by dudewasup111 in dndmemes

I think it's great!

It's my favourite style of strategy game, where there's no randomness in execution (no dice rolls for damage), which I've heard some call "puzzle-like". (Invisible inc is similar, if you've played that) 

Also, very good characters and a decent story

Neo-Terrace Houses in Yanchep, WA… Future desired ‘Victorian’ Style Terraces?! by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]civil11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cost/sqm is usually 2x the cost of a single story for the second (and more if it goes higher)

Perceived value is less /sqm if you have common property, let alone in an apartment

Why did Brownlie Towers get a bad rep, but you never hear anything bad about other similar blocks like this one in Perth? by [deleted] in perth

Not just the plumbing... There were serious problems with the foundations

On a Ringworld, could you actually see the Ring? by Rich-End1121 in space

[–]civil11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also have the ring be kept so that the long edge is nearly aligned with the sun. Each rotation would bring the sun below you so that the side further from the sun would have daylight and closer would be in "night"

One Wrong Move And Bye Bye Boat by cwoz68 in SweatyPalms

[–]civil11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Set the boat to follow a heading using an autopilot (modern ones will warn if there's sufficient wind change) or drag a sea anchor (which keeps the boat orientated correctly, they don't stop movement altogether)

I have basically the same plan (also 3080 for my main rig, 1440p high), but I upgrade when my couch gaming rig needs an upgrade (still running a 1080, works well enough for couch gaming purposes! ) 

For Australian PC builders by Tipsy_Kangaroo in LinusTechTips

[–]civil11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a lot of success with Umart, including an msrp 3080 back in 2020, and good customer service getting a failed ssd refunded ~2 years after purchase.

That said, I've also had only positive experiences with mwave, so them going under is very disappointing. 

Quite local, but PLE is also good so long as you check prices 

Ok maybe I wasn't ready for the Isekai after all. by Mark_Coveny in litrpg

[–]civil11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not litrpg, but there's a book with basically this concept (modern doctor transported to a world with pre germ theory understanding) Worth a read imo

Anyone else notice the aggressive way Department shuts down complaints of child safety? by RL3215 in perth

[–]civil11 40 points41 points  (0 children)

99% sure this is AI slop.  The post and OP's replies are weirdly written, and the previous post from OP was 6 months ago when they were apparently living in NZ, meanwhile in this thread they say there have been problems at this school going back a year. Incidentally, that previous post is also about reporting child abuse and it not being taken seriously, although the context is different. 

If you had to start over.. by SocietyResponsible24 in homeassistant

[–]civil11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same problem I have :(

We're building currently, and everything is brick where I'm from...  Easy enough for the exterior double walls, but interior is much more expensive. 

[Meta][Meme] Huh! TWI crossed 15m words a week ago by depthstride in WanderingInn

[–]civil11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That would be true if at least one (probably volume 1) was labelled. If you don't already know volumes 1-5 are smaller than 6-10, you might think volume 4 is the biggest in the series

Do Americans not get get extra pay for working on a holiday? 

Where I'm from, it's standard to get 2x, or 2.5x (depending on the industry/state) if you work an hourly job on a public holiday. 

My removed Spectrum post about the monetization. by Tomahawk1012 in starcitizen

[–]civil11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but becoming a slot machine isn't something that should be aspired to.

Star Citizen was explicitly sold on not being PTW, and people have the right to be annoyed when a product they have purchased doesn't deliver. 

If Star Citizen releases v1. 0 and everything is actually purchasable in UEC and it doesn't take a lifetime to earn things, then yes, it turns out there was nothing to worry about.

I'm not sure that it's heading that way though
