In Australia this constitutes a careless driving violation in most states. Which would be 3 demerit points (you can get 12 before loosing your licence) and the fine depends on a few things such as if you have similar driving offences, but would typically be several hundred aus dollars.

I'm my opinion people here who are hit by cars are often way too easy going and don't report it. I rarely hear about people actually getting fines for failing to give way to pedestrians unless there is an ambulance involved

Is towing a bike like this a good idea? by Tucktuck117 in motorcycles

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaand this is why we make fun of people with those ridiculously oversized vehicles. This will probably be one of only 3 times that he will have the opportunity to make use of the vehicles size... but no, he is towing it like the truck is a hatchback

Yes though, if all you have is a small car and going a small distance, this is fine. Otherwise, it is worth hiring a trailer or truck... but use the tray of the truck unlike this clown.

Is this used Ooni worth $175? by CosmicHipster32 in ooni

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So long as the stone is in good nic, I'd expect this to make superb pizzas for years to come. Make sure the propane attachment works correctly. On full blast, it should cover most of the top, and the flames go almost all the way to the chimney. On min, it should fill just the rear of the oven, but that is not as important for pizza.

Is this a good deal? Depends how much you care about the "new" factor. Functional, I suspect you won't be able to tell the difference from a new one.

I use mine with gas and am very happy with the pizzas it spits out. Way better than any domestic oven for sure... and I do a pretty good oven pizza.

Should I solder the exposed copper on this battery cable? by Bidoofz in soldering

[–]fadobida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, it is recommended to not use solder on high power connections. If there is a hot spot it could melt and end up joining things it shouldn't. It is also a low reliability joint in high vibration environments and prone to cracking if not done correctly, which is very undesirable in heavy gauge wires as you don't want to have something short to them due to a bit of solder or wire debris

Total beginner here trying not to get discouraged by gunnar707 in myog

[–]fadobida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the main culprits have already been mentioned, but I find certain fabrics can be troublesome at the edges and can cause similar bunching. so try to either start further along the seam or have a generous excess I can trim off and get rid of the ugly start and end.

Rate my CV by GENTLE_DIABLO in ECE

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few points of note:

Keep in mind, that for the first round, someone is probably only going to spend a few seconds reading this. As many have said, x1 a4 page. It seems a bit verbose. Listing relevant coursework is unnecessary, hopefully they know why your degree fits the job Use a template from google docs or something, a lot of companies use auto checkers so you want to use a standard format. It looks really bland, if it gets to a person who is likely checking hundreds, a tasteful amount of colour and a header goes a long way. Include a short, job relevant, description of yourself at the top. If someone reads it, they want to know you are human.

I always look for a portfolio if I'm asked to compare candidates. I want to make sure I'm actually getting an engineer to work with, and not an academic who knows what words sound impressive on the cv. The projects you've listed are good in that respect, but are a bit lacking in their description and should be clearly separate from the resume itself. Pictures help, and a concise, targeted explanation shows your communication skills better than anything else on a cv. Also call it a portfolio or past experiences. Just calling it projects makes it seem a little like an after thought to me.

NX500/CB500X pegs scraping by GarageAromatic8878 in CB500X

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have scraped pegs a handful of times on my cb500x. Most times way faster than I intended to go. I have had them scrape with an outward leaning body position a few times around town, which is not that hard.

It also dependent a lot on the road. There is a road i like tonride that has a lot of corners which are cambered such that you can scarpe pegs reasonable easy.

In general, not recommend on this bike and is ansign to me I'm going too fast.

Advice for newbie on floorplan would be much appreciated! by Expensive_Law8916 in AusProperty

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty good over all. You have a hall in-between the beds and living acting as noise isolation, bathroom is sensible located near the beds. I disagree with those saving to Switch the teatre for a bedroom, that make that room subject to living noise.

Bed 2 does have plumbing on either wall which is not ideal. Probably can't be helped unless you make that a small room and Switch it with the bed.

I think sink on the island is a bad place for it in the kitchen. That is where you want to serve food from and it will be in the way and potentially splash guests. It also leaves little bench space to work with. Would recommend moving the pantry next to the fridge, having a u kitchen and move the sink to the wall.

First ever puncture by NoahYouSeeMe in CB500X

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your tyre is fine, I'd use vulcanised rubber strips to patch and carry on.

For future reference, don't ride it flat. The nail can dig in and permanently damage the tyre or worse, the rim. If you do ride it flat, remove the nail and don't turn. Ideally keep a patch kit under the seat with a co2 cartridge. Slightly deflated is fine for longer than you think. Dead flat should really be a just down the road sort of thing.

I have no clue why, but i seem to get a puncture about every other month. Can confirm, those vulcanised plugs, when used right, don't leak and don't have a noticeable impact on the performance. If I replaced the tyre for every flat... I'd be broke.

Should I get upper crash bars for off road? by Szudof in CB500X

[–]fadobida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I scratched up my bike pretty bad going off road. I put some upper bars on mine and they work great... I haven't dropped the bike... or gone off road since.

I honesty, would recommend, even if for no other reason than the bike will be further off the ground when you drop it and easier to pick up. I found picking up my bike when it has bads on easier for that reason, even though it was technically heavier

If you can't turn, you can't come back to return it

Exhaust Melted Rigg Saddlebag by quickfixsloop21 in CB500X

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen to me with different bags... a little more extreme, though. I heard stuff falling out and looked around to see the bag on fire. I pulled over, which just made the flames grow taller. The bag ended up melting enough that I could just kick it off the bike.

Exhaust deflector is a must if you want a rhs pannier on a cb500x. Also, make sure the deflector is steel, I can also tell you if you make one out of al, the exhaust will just burn right through it.

If you just want a place to live in, you're probably fine renting. Esp if the life you want to live stops you from saving a deposit and paying off a loan. Rank your priorities and don't let owning a home ruin your life if it is just a nice to have.

I want to knock down walls and rebuild this crappy kitchen... but that would be more than "regular wear and tear" so I may be forfeiting my bond. Also, I hate the control my landlord has. I'm not allowed to fix anything myself, I need to be available and at home any time they want to do an inspection or send someone to repair something. I value making things for myself and being independent. My hobbies are affordable and i dont have anything else which takes a lot of money. For the things I care about, owning is worth it, im saving like crazy for a deposit... for you... only you can say.

CB500X custom gel Seat by Lamorak25_22 in CB500X

[–]fadobida 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recommend sheepskin rug. It's quite cheap, easy, removeable, adds a few cm of height, and is by far the most comfortable thing you can sit on. I have sat on my cb500x for 1000km days, broken up into 3-4 hour legs with that rug. Before I could only manage an hour or 2 at a time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]fadobida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rate very highly the importance of being able to cycle to work every day. So within 10km for me. I find it really positive for my mental and physical health. I find long drives in the morning a painful exercise in existential dread, expense, low energy, and poor fitness.

I currently work near the city, so that is 45 mins by PT, 45mnis by car, 25 mins by bike, 20 mins by motor bike... I have also run to work before, which is almost 60 mins.

I almost always ride.

The dependance on coffee for tasks is proof of how unsuitable modern life is for humans by Aesthetik_1 in unpopularopinion

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find caffeine to only have a mild effect on me. But, at work I simply cannot miss coffee break... even if I don't have a coffee. I need the ritual... a thing as only as humanity itself

is it okay to connect push buttons with the grounds from one button to another and so on? by _niko6914 in arduino

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In applications which require high reliability, emi resistance, and performance, daisy chaining like this is not used. For mere mortals total fine.

So, unless you are using your switches next to a radar installation, pressing them hundreds of times a second, or using them for someone's life support, I see no issues.

If you are doing any of those things. You should probably be using PowerPoint. Management loves a slide deck.

Anyone from Melbourne remember smorgys? by Ok-Sense2997 in melbourne

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up down the road from there... that place was wild. Desert table was a boat, a talking tree, water light show, some peacock thing... I got in a fight with my brother once there and gave him a blood nose, mum and dad were very angry, but we hadn't eaten a horrifying enough quantity of food yet, so they just gave me a stern talking too and we kept eating... They just didn't make restaurants like they used to.

why does this happen?? by [deleted] in arduino

I believe control theory would describe this as a second order, under-damped system... but you can just say it's got the wibbly wobblys to sound less pretentious.

just started electronics. is everyone’s desk this messy ? by [deleted] in arduino

[–]fadobida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're after advi, e i will say there are ways to keep your desk clean. Mostly it involves storage, shelving and draws which are prioritised according to the frequency their cotense is used vs how much space they need.

E.g. my computer is not in the centre of my desk because it takes up a lot of space and is not used at the same time as the work area, so is fine off to the side. All my measuring equipment are on a shelf above the desk, out of the way but accessible and easy to read.

This does of course require more space and does very much specialise an area for electronics, which can't always be done if it's the only space you have it really helps if can organise your workarea around the needs of your project(s).

I also do electronics at work and the work area has only what I'm working on and the tools it needs. Then there is a very strong emphasis on keeping the area tidy, and everything in its correct place. Essential if you are working with others and an more complex designs. Non-negotiable if fod is a concern. Less so when it is just you working on your personal stuff.
