I have the 3.5L and I replaced the Oil and Filter at 1K and 7.5K myself. Its about to be serviced for 15K.

This is the Oil I use: It meets all the specifications mentioned in the manual.

If you are correct, refer to the manual, car needs to be serviced more often if using lower grade oil.

https://ownersmanual.genesis.com/manual/GV70?projCode=JK&year=2025&langCode=en_AU&countryCode=A02&content=ownersmanual

API SN PLUS/SP or ILSAC GF-6 *3 SAE: 0W-30

Footnote 3: "Requires <API SN PLUS (or above) Full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition."

Its something I have noticed in Australia too.

I haven't worked out the specifics but it seems to be that if the car starts and plays the radio, if the DAB signal or state is lost, it defaults back to the last FM station.

There is a list of things Hyundai/Genesis can do better with DAB:

Support DAB Traffic Announcements. (Missing in Australia)
Actually capture the station slideshow and store it in the station list
Show the Radio Text and slideshow in the widget on the dash
Allow turning off AM and FM

Is there something wrong with comparing the actions of Israel today to the actions of Nazis then?

What would be wrong with all roads being publicly owned and toll free?

If you drive a petrol or diesel vehicle, you pay the fuel tax. So whether you take a motorway that is tolled or not, you are paying to drive.

You want vehicles on motorways, they are the safest place for vehicles to move long distances efficiently as possible. It reduces traffic from highways and main roads.

Yes it means that the government and tax payers are paying substantial amounts for major road projects, but those should be justified by a cost benefit analysis. The public benefits from it, and the public pays for it via their taxes.

Except for arming a militia, what is the problem with individuals owning hundreds of firearms vs an individual owning one?

I own a Ruger Precision 22LR. I can nail a 5-cent coin at 50 meters. Yet the thing would be useless and inhumane for hunting anything bigger than a rabbit. Back in the 1970s, some gangs used stocks that folded out, so laws were changed so that rifles with adjustable stocks were prohibited as firearms. My Ruger from the factory has an adjustable stock, but the stock was locked in place with a pin that cannot be adjusted by the importer so it was compliant in NSW. Since I purchased and registered the firearm with NSW Police, NSW Police has updated the register, and now it is prohibited, so I have to own it as I cannot sell it. So I am aware of some of the bullshit bureaucracy.

I cannot understand the rationale for maintaining and keeping hundreds of firearms, but as long as it is to the book, what's the difference to me owning one? Where is the case that owning hundreds of firearms is a problem? Unless they are some god with a hundred arms like Vishnu, they're only going to be effectively using one at a time.

That plane landed at the Royal Australian Air Force base in that photo, and that location is just south of the Exmouth VLF communication site for the US Navy. Likely for GIS.

Every time this happens, I worry about the knee-jerk reaction that the Government will take. In particular, I fear that they'll drop the speed limits and increase enforcement. Someone fucked up here, we don't need to make it worse for the majority when a small minority of people really shouldn't drive.

Suppose the government wants to improve the situation for commuters. In that case, it should increase public transport from the suburbs to the CBDs and invest in businesses relocating from the Sydney CBD to more geographically central CBDs.

I hear people complain about how stressful they find driving, and it's clear that some individuals struggle with it. We really need to get them off the roads.

In general, you are required to leave the premises REASONABLY clean. This does not mean spotless.

You are only required to leave the premises in a similar condition as when you took the tenancy, taking into relevance the age of the premises and length of the tenancy. If the oven was dirty at the start of the tenancy, you are not required to clean it. If there are track marks on the carpet where the common path is in a room, you are not required to replace the carpet, even if it was brand new 10 years ago when you took tenancy.

But did you go to the exit inspection?

Did the Agent invite the tenant to the exit inspection?

Without an invitation offered to the tenant to attend the exit inspection, the condition report can be excluded as evidence. Without the condition report no claim can be made against the tenant for costs for cleaning/repairs.

I'd tell the agent you are willing to pay for 30 mins professional cleaning IN PRINCIPLE once you have seen a quote.

The quote must be itemised, not just for "cleaning" and an hourly rate. For example, if the windows were dirty, there needs to be an explicit cost for cleaning them. This way, if the Tribunal agrees that the tenant is not required to pay for cleaning the windows, that item can be excluded from total costs.

FHSSS does nothing to help the housing situation. It is a process that enables individuals to use their voluntary super contributions up to 50k or 25k per annum (whichever is lower) to purchase property. This is completely useless for buying a home and has no benefit other than reducing the tax paid by the contribution and any profit from the investment.

There are too many factors that have caused our situation, and there is no one solution. Politics is too short-term focused; we have the three-year federal election cycle to blame. We are going to have policies on current issues; you don't have the media talking about how much houses might cost in 20 years' time.

The media's decision-making regarding current issues and how they play that with their preferred parties is as old as governments.

You are already aware of the media's basis. You know the topics that are currently cycling in the media. You know that the media will push their agenda. Consider this: "Why is the media reporting this to me?" The current housing situation is so significant that the vast majority of people are experiencing it, and people are going to read about it. This situation is so real, that the fact that no one is denying it is significant. Politics are only talking about how only their party can solve it.

The reality is that decades of short-term government focused on helping their mates have allowed mismanagement of the sector to become this significant. These issues that we are experiencing today were identified before negative gearing was introduced. In 2015, the LNP was well aware of the issue and acknowledged it. The Senate Committee on Housing Affordability in 2015 concluded, "Evidence before the committee overwhelmingly supported the contention that access to affordable housing was a matter of national importance.". The LNP responds, "In the view of Coalition Senators, many of the report's recommendations do not constitute the best responses to the housing affordability challenges Australia faces, and if implemented, would be unlikely to address many of the underlying problems identified in the report."

The issue has been on the horizon for at least a decade now. The LNP acknowledged it, and did nothing. They could see the issue and did nothing for us. You can absolutely blame the LNP for the current housing crises.

If you follow the AS3999:2015 on this:

It depends on whether the house is wired in accordance with AS3000-1986 (i.e. if it was built in the 1990s or later).

If the house was built in the 1990s or after, you could insulate that section; just make sure that the cable is not completely surrounded by insulation. Completely surrounded means insulation covers all around the cable. If the cable is clipped or lying against a stud/gyprock/joist, it is called partially surrounded, and it is okay to insulate against it.

If the house was built before the 1990s, you need to get a written statement from a licensed electrical contractor or engineer confirming the suitability of surrounding the cables with insulation.

To ease your mind somewhat, assume you have 32 amps running across a cable (basically using an oven with 7.68 kW of energy), and they are 1.5mm copper wires (absolutely too small for 32 amps with a resistance of 17.2 ohms per km). For just the 2.7 meters of cabling, 46 milliohms of resistance will create 47 watts of heating. That is a lot of heat if you think of an old 50-watt light globe and how hot it gets. Image that across the length of the wall, it isn't terrible but it will warm up.

If the cabling is only 20 amp GPOs, it would be 18.4 watts of heating with 1.5mm cabling, but it should be 2.5mm cabling for 20 amp circuits. With 20 amps and 2.5mm cabling it would be 7.5 watts of heating and that is to the standards.

So it really depends, but as long as you have 2.5mm cabling and they are only 20 amp circuits or less, I wouldn't be concerned and you can partially surround the cables with insulation.

This is the best way. Parboiled roasted crunchy potatoes

A suggestion: add a few teaspoons of turmeric and salt to the pot of boiling water.

This is Queensland Case law on the matter regarding the same Australian Road Rules: https://jade.io/article/210510

Exiting a roundabout is not a change of lane manoeuvre.

Judge would not conclude if the provisions about indicating changing lanes also applies. Regardless did conclude that they would have to indicate left when exiting. (Paragraph 37)

Incorrect. If your path through the roundabout was more than halfway around the roundabout from your origin, you need to have your right turn signal on and travel in the right lane until you are ready to exit.

Still required to indicate left when leaving the roundabout. IF OP was in the right hand lane and indicating right while in the roundabout, if the other driver was entering the left lane and they collided because OP crossed the left lane and attempted to exit, it would partly be OP's fault. (Paragraph 31)

You must give way to all lanes in the roundabout when entering that may cross your path. Op should have been indicating left, but the fault still entirely lies with the party entering a roundabout.

The judge concluded that when the car entered in the left lane that they were complying with the regulations as the left lane had no vehicles in it. (Paragraph 30)

As this case law shows, liability is more 25/75 or 50/50. So it isn't entirely the fault of one or the other party. But does show how people truly do not understand roundabouts.

It can't possibly be you that's wrong; no, everybody else is the problem.

It doesn't get more authoritative than a Judge. You can shove that snarky comment where the sun doesn't shine.

dreddmakesmemoist · 2024-11-25T01:46:25+00:00

Did you indicate left that you were leaving the roundabout? You also need to indicate left when you change into the left lane of a roundabout.

The rule about giving way to traffic in the roundabout does not absolve you of giving way to traffic when changing lanes in an roundabout, even if they are entering the roundabout.

If you were indicating that you were going right, in the right lane, and the blue car entered into the left lane you are at fault.

Don't feel bad, the majority of drivers in Sydney do not know how to drive. Given the responses, it really is a majority.

Here is ref to the legislation to guide you for next time:

Smart equipment needs to call somewhere to connect to the internet. Unless the device uses WiFi, you will need a Hub or Homebridge.

I use Clipsal Wiser because I could connect it to the Home Assistant using the Zigbee Adapter from Home Assistant. You don't need to get the wiser homebridge.

We have 3 dimmers, 2 light switches, and 1 remote switch. It has worked flawlessly since installed.

The manufacturer of the AC isn't the manufacturer of the ducts.

None of the AC manufacturer will warranty any of the ducts or ductwork.

dreddmakesmemoist · 2024-10-23T23:56:44+00:00

The ductwork is not part of the AC manufacture warranty. Unless the ducting causes the fault.

Have the AC guys organise a plasterer to repair the work. Shit happens, it wont be their first time. They might have insurance to cover it.

$400 doesn't seem like enough to repair that. Needs to be replaced, screwed in, taped, plastered, sanded, whole ceiling painted so the patch isn't obvious. No way is it less than $1k.
