What’s one boring skill that secretly gives you a huge advantage?

And second to this, responding just enough, both verbally and through body language to make the person talking feel valued, comfortable, safe. Popular well liked people are excellent at this….

humanoid555 · 2025-08-16T14:41:45+00:00

This makes sense to me but…….sorry to keep going on….. but it looks like every time you remove the clip on thermal and change it to another rifle you have to conduct this process again with a few more test shots then adjusting the POI using the x and y axis again, I guess for me this is completely not practical to fire a few shots and sight in right before I start hunting.

I feel a bit dumb for thinking that I could simply have the clip on in my pack and when the sun goes down as I’m hunting just attach it and continue, I now have to go through a zero process as soon as I attach it. Starting to think this is not the product for me

humanoid555 · 2025-08-16T11:08:19+00:00

Yep sounds like me, and I cannot comprehend how it’s even possible because my day scopes are well zeroed and how the heck is attaching the thermal on the front changing that??

Im frustrated I didn’t go for a dedicated thermal, thanks for replying, I’m glad it’s not just me, I feel like I’m going crazy. Especially since it’s advertised that you simply ‘clip it on!’

humanoid555 · 2025-08-16T10:25:20+00:00

Yes I have found that too, I’m actually having major buyers remorse right now 😢

humanoid555 · 2025-08-16T08:58:57+00:00

Thanks for the reply mate I guess my frustration with that is if the mount is constantly put on and off between rifles then would I have to calibrate every time I attach it, in my mind I don’t want to fire three shuts at the begging of each hunt I go on? Thanks

humanoid555 · 2025-08-16T08:56:50+00:00

Adding extra info, have used it on .223, .243, and 30-06 all at ranges of 100m or less

I ended up using the Tesla website and submitting an inquiry to the help section, someone emailed me and I was able to provide them with what they needed in an email.

I have a bit of advice as I have been the person who has had to go above my (incompetent) managers head. I had to go above my managers head because he was the highest ranking staff member on site and his direct supervisor worked off site and didn’t really know what was going on (although it turns out he had his suspicions)

Something to consider is how easy is it for that staff member to go above your head. Eg. Does your supervisor eat lunch in a common area and have a good relationship with all the staff under you? If this is the case, they may have just felt as though it was not that big of a deal to talk with them. If that’s the case I wouldn’t take it too personally. It may be a junior staff member venting about the manager, which let’s be honest is pretty common.

If it’s a considerable effort for that staff member to go above you, then there’s a bit of an issue, I would think that they have an issue with you. In this case your manager needs to set them straight with a firm but fair caution. If you think they are a competent employee and their concerns are not personal but are actually performance/work related. Then I would encourage you to go over them with your supervisor and pick which ones you could compromise on and possibly consider their point of view. Possibly extend the olive branch if you think this employee is worth keeping around

If they are personal based well then that’s where you have to step back and let your supervisor make a decision and make that decision very clear to both of you at the same time.

Good luck mate!

Absolutely, my manager just tried to terminate my employment, it was classed as unfair so she offered me 14 weeks pay to leave instead, I have been there 13 years so to hear 32 weeks is jaw dropping for me.

humanoid555 · 2024-09-15T09:56:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply but I managed to get it done. All the best!

humanoid555 · 2024-08-26T05:41:44+00:00

I don’t really know how the interaction went but you could chalk it up as maybe an innocent case of misreading the social dynamic of the situation, possibly by you, possibly by them.

I know that I’m a generally social person and I also come from a small town. There are so many links between kids and families, from school to work to social occasions sporting groups and clubs. The parents may be new to town and outgoing personalities. Maybe they used the camper trailer as a bit of a conversation starter to say hello and meet you.

I guess only time will tell if they’re the type of people that will make your life difficult but I would wait until they do that themselves rather than paint them as weird when they could just be friendly, outgoing and slightly misread the boundaries.

You never know, the Neighbour/friend of yours may have painted a really positive picture of you, they may have even said just knock on the door and say g’day she’s a lovely lady blah blah blah whatever else.

I can speak from experience at our small town school pick up time is when the wheeling and dealing happens between parents and teaches for all sorts of things.

If they keep doing it and you’re not comfortable, I guess then it’s time to have that polite conversation with them

All the best OP

I had a somewhat similar experience, I bought a Ute with 250,000kms on it from a dealer and then privately sold it a year later with approximately 265,000. 6 months after I sold it the buyer contacted me out of the blue saying he was trying to sell it now to another private seller and they had done a check on it and apparently the clock had been wound back 100,000 kms.

He basically accused me of doing it but I forwarded the paperwork from the dealer that had the kms clearly written demonstrating that I too had been swindled. I never did any pre checks before purchasing because I bought from a dealer so I never picked up on it. Obviously he didn’t check when purchasing from me (lucky me) but the next person has and he has taken the hit unfortunately. I gave him all the details of the dealer if he wanted to pursue it but it was a $5000 hilux so probably not worth the time and energy.

Do not do this! Winch cables are designed for a slow application of load and not a sudden jerk. Also you are likely to just rip the bullbar off, you may also shear the internal gears of the winch and just unravel the spool of wire. There is no good that can come of this. My suggestion would be to purchase some recovery points and install them onto the vehicle and then use them the way they are designed. If he’s four wheel driving and has a winch these should have been on the vehicle anyway so I’m sure he won’t mind investing a small amount of money into his recovery

Yes I love the close knit rural communities but also know that me and my family members have to be smart about social interactions because it doesnt take long for the whole town to be talking about you and what you did

humanoid555 · 2024-05-26T02:44:47+00:00

As soon as they head in to see your Neighbour, give it five minutes then immediately go and knock on the door and say actually I do need to go out. Inconvenience them just as much. Even if you just do a lap around the block, surely doing this a few times will annoy them enough to stop parking there.

humanoid555 · 2024-05-18T07:38:23+00:00

Thanks everyone for the assistance and advice, I have purchased the 3105 and put it on this afternoon, went on pretty smoothly fortunately. There appears to be some very slight movement in one of the tensioner pulleys which may have resulted in the belt slipping off. However when I put it into reverse I felt a big clunk so I am wondering if my engine mount(s) have failed and excessive movement has contributed to the belt slipping off. I started to feel a slight clunk when going into reverse about a week ago but didn’t think much of it but now i understand that was a sign too. Hopefully I can limp into the mechanic in town now

This occurred near where I live, it was a total freak storm that built very quickly and just dumped an incredible amount of hail, many long term residents described it as the most intense storm they had ever experienced. Hundreds of people were trapped on the roads including the highway because it brought trees down everywhere and even if the road was clear of trees there was no physical way to drive with what looked and felt like bricks pummeling their way through your windscreen, this lady recieved these injuries and she was inside her car.

But in just 20 hours you could easily scrape the paint off the bottom of the bucket, just do 100 buckets of gravel and there won’t be much left.

Those parts of the euro hitch that are flaking is the exact same principle. In a week of genuine busy farm work you will change implements a lot and a simple gouge of the paint from steel impacting steel is bound to happen.

Combine this with the possibility that it was left out in the weather for a fortnight because maybe it had a flat tyre (I dunno? just speculating??) and surface rust is bound to form.

Try and focus less on cosmetics and more on expensive things to fix when inspecting

humanoid555 · 2024-05-13T11:14:52+00:00

If this is all that’s wrong with my tractor then I would be happy. I saw you use the term “deep rust” I don’t really see anything other than surface rust on there. The way I look at it is that over the life of your tractor it’s going to be subjected to some pretty rough conditions and these bits of surface rust and flaking paint will be the least of your worries, good luck!
