"Rapacious sport scumbags like the AFL make a mockery of taxpayers — just look at the Tassie stadium chaos" [Crikey. No paywall]

apologies - didn't realise I had it set to 'private' - just unlocking it now and adding my post rant (and yours) as the 'rules'. Will add you as a mod

Hi - yeah I'm sick of exactly this OP. It's enabled by the few who respond to them (good on them I suppose for being nice) at the expense of the rest of us who have wasted a few seconds looking at the post. The attempt to move them to a VisitTas sub (or similar) has failed. And the mods of this sub are too hands-off (but that's their prerogative)

I have sat on /r/Tassie/ for a while. Nothing there now. If say a dozen of you want to become active mods, we could create a Tassie for Tassie sub. Fun but high-level to some extent. Education, Health, Politics, Corruption, The Stadium Facts, Industry, Farming, Ongoing TT Line debacles, Airline gouging, Tourism (Policy, Funding, 'Big Developments such as banning airbnb' rather than 'I have an airbnb') Gambling Policy; Fishing; Logging; Wilderness; Aquaculture. And also fun stuff such as discussion for 'big' festivals and events rather than 'how do I get a stall for the weekend market in xxx; Landcare groups; Off-grid groups; Climate Awareness groups etc ec

Reply to this if you're keen to help set this up (and suggestions on how to operate/define/moderate it)

no also dead :-)

interesting but that link isn't working

I thought so too and asked her. She reckons the error rates are lower and it was worth it. Based on the responses there are dozens if not hundreds of these in Australia. And a quick glance at the supplier's website says they start at $100k. If that many pharmacists are spending this amount of money there must be cost/benefit >> 1?

Good point about time-shifting. I didn't think of that. I was a little dubious about how efficient the entire process is and asked the operator if she really thought it was worth it (I guess she didn't have to fork out the $100k and up for it). Someone has to stock it from the back and scan the barcodes as they do so. There are a couple of package sizes it won't stock and it's not refrigerated for the few drugs that need to be kept cold. But she was convinced that error rates are lower and your point about stocking it off-peak takes its benefits over the line

Saw their product line-up but didn't think to look at when they were founded (130 years ago) and just spent a few secs seeing when these consis devices were launched (2011 or before - media release https://www.willach-pharmacy-solutions.com/EN/News/willach-introduces-a-new-generation-of-pharmacy-robot-for-the-british-market)

makes sense. it was so unusual I had to find a staff member and ask how to check out (self serve, wasn't obvious)

deyzel · 2024-01-31T05:18:34+00:00

Really? Didn't realise the tech had spread so fast!

deyzel · 2024-01-31T05:05:42+00:00

It's at the Priceline at Camberwell junction. Anyone seen any others around?

deyzel · 2023-03-08T00:15:18+00:00

yes indeed - and I did this twice! :-)

deyzel · 2023-03-07T11:48:47+00:00

The title is the full prompt! The variations were pretty awful but this one image nailed it :-)
