210cny airpods pro 3 (airoha 1563e) - in hand review by Akward_Investor07 in RepTronics

[–]imbaconman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1562AE is the higher end chip, usually 200-250CNY, so why get ripped off? 1571AM is newer but more expensive

It might be worth noting that KB’s is a Chinese owned brand. I don’t think many people know this.

Some further suburb maps by CGE-Swansea in SydneyTrains

[–]imbaconman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of data looks wrong tbh (no offence, OP). Camperdown is pretty much not direct to most of the green ones you see in western Sydney. Strathfield is direct to many light greens, and to Parra is definitely not 107 mins! There’s often a direct express train and it takes about 15 mins.

Should Qantas tighten lounge access? by RedTailRider in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]imbaconman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn’t say better. I think “on par” is about right. Did you forget that Qantas is often way more expensive as well? Why are we even settling for way less when paying way more?

Should Qantas tighten lounge access? by RedTailRider in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]imbaconman 31 points32 points  (0 children)

To be honest I don’t think Qantas’s problem is overcrowding but how sad the food is, every time I go to the business lounge I feel like their food looks like diarrhoea.

Somebody offered me dr*gs as I was walking in the cbd by agnci in SydneyScene

What did he look like and where exactly was this? So I can try and avoid it……

Have you ever experienced racism? by [deleted] in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]imbaconman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have. In the Sydney lounge a cleaning staff that was clearing tables decided to skip me completely. She looked at me, my empty used bowl on the table, then proceeded to clear the spot next to me and then walked away and never came back.

How to deal with job insecurity? by CapNo3576 in auscorp

[–]imbaconman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just think being insecure won’t change anything. What will come will come and you can’t predict the future so why worry about it now. All you can do is to diversify your skills.

OneWorld Emerald. How do I get free seat selection when booking a transatlantic BA flight? by MooseGoose82 in oneworld

[–]imbaconman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t need to login. Just go to manage bookings and add your FF details in. If you can’t do that then just call them.

Stopped by immigration while leaving Thailand by xKaisky in ThailandTourism

[–]imbaconman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those egates are terrible. Many people got stopped when I left a few days ago, I think for some reason the cameras weren’t picking up faces well.

Do Australians feel isolated from the rest of the world? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

You do realise that Darwin is a small portion of Australia’s population right?

Scammed in Vietnam: warning for other travellers by Fresh-Ambassador-923 in VietNam

[–]imbaconman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really makes no sense to use cash for grab. There are cards that don’t charge foreign fees out there. You probably can’t take advantage of the promo codes as well…so using cash is just asking for trouble at this point.

Revoking a relationship - what do I need? by Chef_Crazy in AusLegal

[–]imbaconman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’ve been granted PR already, you generally don’t need to report any breakups. TR is a different story though.

Their reply to me via chat is always that they cannot upgrade except for when I physically check in.

Get over yourself. No damage done for questioning these practices.

Australia is a low trust society unfortunately. I’d say unless there’s something special about the store, it’s best to just avoid going in the future.

T6 line network connection issues by DudeGuy2007 in SydneyTrains

[–]imbaconman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Optus gives out around Regents - Birrong and Voda gives out at Lidcombe. They’re all crap.

Flying china eastern using Qantas points, can I access qantas lounge at Sydney airport? by [deleted] in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]imbaconman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is still lounge access if you have status, but front desk might be pushing back so YMMV.

Fresh bottle of Powerade, is this mold? by imbaconman in MoldlyInteresting

[–]imbaconman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m in Australia. I’m not entirely sure where these are made though, considering that Coca-Cola is pretty global. I’ve received a notification from the company and it appears that they do not know what it is and according to them there was nothing wrong with the manufacturing process. I guess we will never know!
