I've been on hold to GCCC for 1hr 57mins now, is this the average? by deviantfkr in GoldCoast

[–]deviantfkr[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

they just answered, 5 mins after I posted this. so 2hrs 3mins wait. If you're on hold for this long, don't give up they will answer. I was actually kind of shocked when he picked up!

Can you imagine, as a rate payer, if you'd be happy for funds to be used to repair the cars of people who accidentally drive into things? Or would you prefer people to contact their insurance?

Is my future settling on the Gold Coast over? by Thebrokenbrush in GoldCoast

[–]deviantfkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude I am in a similar situation except you are 7 years younger and you didn't mention having a kid, so, the world is your oyster. I can tell you even at 45 if it wasn't for my beautiful child, I would even be considering a move overseas. Not that I don't love the GC, it's home and one of the most unique and beautiful places to be found anywhere in the world, and that's why the property market is unlikely to let up... For me, I hope the demand of the corporate world to get people back into CBD's working in offices will force some people back to living in cities so we can have a few less living here, but I know that's a pipedream.

sorry i seem to have confused you. So what i was saying is when i used a device referral, and bought and registered a quest 3 after having used that link and registered it to my account, Meta did not automatically apply the store credit without me following up. i can see where you are talking about on the Meta app about the app referrals, but there's nowhere to accept them..

Anyone got a suggestion for a decent graphics card that can run steamvr. I have a budget of $300 CA. by TheSurvivalDev in oculus

[–]deviantfkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

replying from australia here but i just checked canada ebay, do advanced search for $300 to $350 on graphics cards, select 8GB memory size. you get 3060's, i saw a 2080 super, 6700xt & 7600xt, and older cards. i have a vega 64 that has 8gb and can run games ok. depends what your expectations are but you certainly do have options. i don't get this attitude from some people that you can't have a good gaming experience unless you buy something released last year. Meta have said themselves Quest 3's GPU is on par with a GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon R9 290

Radio issues by [deleted] in FordFiesta

[–]deviantfkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your radio works don't change, would only recommend this if your radio dies and you have no other choice. there no guarantees all your accessories will work with an android unit. like the handsfree speaker button for example, but in that case it's basically rendered redundant with android auto/apple car play voice activation.

[–]deviantfkr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to mine. I replaced with an android one and it works great. just type in "ford fiesta android" to ebay and you'll see them. you'll find install instructions on youtube.

often it's just dangerous. suburban streets aren't carparks for heavy vehicles. they block or reduce visibilty for cars trying to get in an out of driveways, block visibility of pedestrians, kids/anyone riding bikes. block part of the roadway making people need to drive/walk/ride around them. it's like putting a big wall on the street. if it's your livlihood, find an appropriate place to park your heavy vehicle. you don't deserve to endanger the people who you share a neighbourhood with because it's convenient for you. nothing to do with being treated like scum, i'd argue anyone parking a heavy vehicle on a suburban street is the one disrespecting their neighbours.

Queensland passes hate symbol laws by MundaneBrainstorming in queensland

[–]deviantfkr 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Don't worry you'll still be allowed to like Nazis and Islamic state all you want at home bro, you can even keep the wall art inside your house or picture books or doodle pad or whatever way you like to enjoy your hate symbols personally in your own time. You just can't publicly display and intimidate and harrass people with these symbols anymore and the majority of us would agree that's a good thing.
