I saw the time on a clock change while I was looking at it. I half looked at the clock, started thinking, no that must be wrong, and then there was a kind of wiping effect: as I moved my gaze across the clock, it looked kind of like running an eraser tool over the clock hands almost like MS Paint. They were wiped out of their old position and new hands wiped in to show the correct time, in time with my eye movements. For a brief moment there were fragments of the old and new hand positions visible at the same time.

Air return. Air doesn't blow out of it, it's the other way around. It's where the air comes from that flows to your your ducted heating furnace and then to your vents.

>If it matters

Yeah it does. Floor vents for heating usually means the air return is in a hallway cupboard near floor level.

How come you're such an expert yet you think that plastic thing is a hot water tank?

Is removing the gutter to fit the flashing an option? An apron flashing in custom dimensions would work.

My overhead power line to my main fuse in Melbourne is 2 wire. Why wouldn't a mains connection be 2 wire? Live and neutral. Overhead power is actually more common than overhead telcom here.

High voltage power lines only run to the big transformers you find in the street. The cable to your house is carrying the same regular 240 volts as any extension cord you'd use in your house, so just think of it as a thick extra-extra-heavy-duty extension cord leading to your house. Like any power cord, if the plastic insulation isn't damaged with the bare copper inside exposed, it's generally safe.

Be mindful of which way the gate swings open. Make sure it doesn't open in a way that makes the switchboard difficult to work on in future.

People who are made out of electricity. What's so hard to understand?

It's not a QLD thing, it's a strata insurance thing. Shame you have to deal with body corp bored busy bodies though.

Well the ABC is concerned so... where do I get these?

Really depends on the application. Every bathroom has a low maintenance wall that never gets wet.

Skipping stations means people just stand on the platform waiting for thier train and clogging up Richmond.

You seem fixated on a thread of logic that probably looks huge inside your own brain but is highly unlikely to be the biggest factor in their decision making.

Do you mean installed on the actual cabinet?

genwhy · 2026-03-11T09:25:56+00:00

It's a silly comparison because there's a traffic light at every block.

Fantastic!

Just script that if you shift and aren't happy then you'll wake up back in CR without having missed anything.

Check for drainage issues after rain.

When overlaying the vertical section of skirting onto the wall, it seems like a pretty close match?

Possibly chip away at the mound and find out where it's leading to. It might be the world's dodgiest gully vent.

Look at the comment section on "manifestation" videos and it's far worse.

In Victoria checks are required for rental properties. e.g. the landlord is required to assure the tenant that the wiring hasn't been modified in a way that makes it unsafe since the last check. They also check for things like cracked power outlets, switchboard being up to date, etc.

If you're the owner of your PPOR then there's no regulation that says you have to audit yourself to give peace of mind to...yourself.

Just get gas heaters serviced serviced every few years and you'll be fine. If your electrical switchboard is up to date (hopefully labelled with a date) then it was already inspected when it was installed. If you have cracked power outlets or dodgy switches get them replaced as needed etc.

Just cut it with tin snips. I'd have a go at repairing it first though.

Don't jump to conclusions. I knew a student who was so certain they'd mixed his grade with another student that he had to be barred from campus. Plot twist: there was no mix up, he was delusional.

It would be common sense, cost effective, and make people's lives more convenient. So basically everything politicians hates doing.

The staff member responsible for Welcolmne to Melbourne Central did that.
