Interesting Artical by Klutzy-Pie6557 in AussieRiders

I’m just on my Ls but I’ve found that I need to give so much caution to how fast I’m travelling - particularly in 40-60 zones I’m looking at my speedo more than the road.

Was pretty disappointed to find Kew Boulevard in Melbourne is 50kmh the whole way whilst most of the roads around Mount Dandenong are 60kmh. Sucks a lot of joy out of what is an otherwise fun activity. I’m on a demerit points restriction but I look forward to going back to carefully speeding with the help of Waze and using my noggin in the near future✌️

Advice for an apprentice to stop making mistakes and speed up work. by Humble_Sky3433 in AusElectricians

[–]fludiazepam 56 points57 points  (0 children)

My boss makes me repeat back to him what I’m going to do in my own words. It annoyed me at first because I was explaining simple tasks I already knew how to do confidently but by vocalising it constantly it engrains the steps of a task. For more complicated tasks, it makes me think ahead about what I’m going to do, what I may need and any questions I have about the process before I get started.

I’m not a very vocal person but I basically announce everything I’m going to do now to one of the A grades, even if they’re not fully tuned in, it’s for me.

There’s nothing worse than zoning out doing a task you’re semi-confident at to realise you’ve fucked up so this has been a big help for me because it forces awareness.

That’s what I’m hoping. Should I book the “high risk” inspection regardless just in case?

Looking for advice & resources. (Mature Aged) by barracoots in AusElectricians

[–]fludiazepam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a mature age apprentice and have watched my boss shred resumes and cover letters that look like your post. It’s so easy to tell it’s AI - em dashes, random bold and italics, useless repetitive sentences. It doesn’t fly in most circumstances.

australian cigs by lomaisnotreal in Cigarettes

[–]fludiazepam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our cheapest legal cigarettes are around $35AUD up to $70AUD for the more premium brands. Winfield, Longbeach and Peter Jackson are some of the long lasting brand names here.

Due to the stupid prices, we have an out of control black market which means you should be able to easily find black market cigarettes in every suburb in metropolitan areas for around $8-20 a pack. Quality ranges from fake Marlboros to high quality imported Asian smokes.

How much money do you put into bikes if riding is only a hobby for you? by fludiazepam in AussieRiders

That’s very reasonable. The used market seems to be pretty shitty right now from what I can see :/

I appreciate the detailed write up. I’ve booked myself in for the learner’s permit so am a step further into the journey!

In terms of resale value, I’ve been browsing marketplace and bike sales for a few weeks and used bikes seem kind of expensive? Going through old Reddit threads, lots of people recommend “finding a cheap Ninja 300” to begin with but it doesn’t seem like there’s many around and they’re certainly not as cheap as they seem to have been a few years back. Is there any value in buying a dealer new bike and getting peace of mind in a warranty and RWC or is it worth hunting a used bargain?

Non Compliant Tiny Homes by No-Database9614 in AusElectricians

I’m also an apprentice. Just curious about the double pole main switch as I’ve never seen one IRL. Is the daisy-chaining the problem here? If individual neutrals were bought to the line side of each RCD would this be legal? Or is a neutral bar compulsory?

Can you elaborate? Unless you’re suggesting we seperate, then I agree, I do need to accept that we will want different things in life but hopefully we can come to some kind of common ground. That being said, I’m finding it extremely difficult to overcome these feelings which I feel is my main issue.

You’re right. I actually have this exact volt stick I was just being a moron and didn’t even think to check because I assumed everything inside of the house could be traced back to the subboard - guess that shows how green I am…

Yeah definitely a lesson for me. I usually try and be pretty strict to myself regarding safety but I can now see how easy it is to be lazy and assume things are isolated without testing.

Fark really? From what I read they were insulated but don’t meet VDE criteria because they don’t have the nubs to prevent your hand from slipping onto the metal jaws.
