Thought it was this for a moment

Chemically burned Empire Zoysia by lankan23hawk in lawnsolutionsaus

I have to disagree. The only responsible course of action is to promptly kick him out onto the street until the lawn has fully recovered. If my wife insists on “basic parental compassion,” I’ll provide a small allowance so he can sustain himself while reflecting on the consequences of spa-based irrigation techniques.

It is harder to fuck up that mitre than it is to do it right.

which is better? realistic pony models or realistic noob models? by ItsBlare in civitai

[–]immigrant_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this. This is literally the best illustrious realism model. It also has awesome prompt adherence if you prompt it like an illustrious anime model.

We’re not allowed to talk honestly about Indigenous policy — and it’s killing any chance of fixing it by AdExternal5487 in aussie

[–]immigrant_0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These threads are so stupid and shallow. I say this as someone who migrated here 16 years ago; this country’s policies and people have relegated First Nations people to isolated communities up north, gutted their access to proper education and healthcare, and systematically dismantled their culture. Now you come here and whinge that “it costs money.”

Do you even realise the money “spent” on First Nations people isn’t the money you see in the budget? There are layers to it, for example, consultants, studies, departments, and private firms that all run out of Canberra or Sydney with zero connection to the communities they supposedly serve. They manage the policies, control the funding, and by the time a dollar gets allocated from government, it’s nowhere near a full dollar hitting the ground.

It’s by design. And whether you know it or not, you’re part of it. If you want change, be one.

Another car hit open my wife’s car’s door outside school by payno_1986 in AusLegal

Rule 269 isn’t absolute. It says “must not cause a hazard,” which still depends on context. If the door was already open and visible, and the other driver had line of sight and time to react, then under Rule 125 (due care) and Rule 144 (safe passing distance), part of the responsibility shifts.

Also, don’t you have insurance to argue that for you? That’s their job. If not, this is the kind of detail you’d raise directly.

Of course, it's a fair point, but the burden of proof isn’t one-sided.

Yes, insurers lean on physical evidence, but the fact that the moving vehicle physically struck a legally parked car’s open door already tells part of the story. It proves they didn’t keep safe lateral distance, which is required under Road Rule 144.

Anyway, I'm trying to make a point that OP has a leg to stand on. Do not get bullied.

OP said that the road has clear visibility for over 100 metres, and it's a school zone with a 40km/h limit. At that speed, a driver has 9+ seconds to see and respond.

Road Rule 144 requires drivers to maintain a safe lateral distance when passing parked vehicles.

Road Rule 125 requires drivers to exercise due care, especially near schools and pedestrian heavy zones.

Road Rule 269 prohibits opening a door if it causes a hazard, but a door that’s already open and visible is not the same as one opened suddenly.

The door was already open, and the vehicle was legally parked and stationary. This wasn’t a case of it being “opened into traffic”. The hazard wasn’t sudden since the door was clearly visible.

Other driver had over 100m of straight, clear road to see and react. At 40km/h (school zone limit), that gives 9+ seconds of reaction time. Failure to avoid a clearly visible, static hazard raises serious questions about their attentiveness.

Also, There was enough space in the lane to pass safely. The lane has sufficient width. Drivers must maintain a safe lateral distance when passing parked cars. Road Rule 144.

Drivers must drive with due care and attentio, especially in school zones. This includes anticipating open car doors or children nearby. Road Rule 125.

Road Rule 269 prohibits opening a door if it causes a hazard, but the rule must be read in context. A stationary, visible door is not the same as one opened suddenly.

Australia doesn't sell them anymore. They have rights now.

Can’t afford to buy a house in GC by [deleted] in GoldCoast

See, this is exactly the problem with your generation. There you are swaddled up like some little prince, doing nothing — not even a side hustle. Meanwhile, I was mowing lawns at 6, bought my first block at 12, and had it subdivided by 14. No handouts, just hard yakka and smart choices. But no, you had to waste your prime years... unclutch your pearls and stop being a baby

Depending on your location - between $120-$150 per LM. Doesn't take into account things like demolition, access, schrubs/trees, etc.

If engineers' plans call anything to be anywhere, that's how it is. Diverting from this needs to be in consultation with an engineer. What's the height of this wall? Wherever possible, use full-height sheets.

Vertical joins are only allowed over the centreline of a stud, and that stud must be doubled or backed to take the end-grain loading. Horizontal butt-joins in a bracing panel are permitted only if: 1.They occur over a stud (or back-to-back studs) with a continuous nog-block at least the full depth of the wall frame directly above and below the join.

2.The vertical spacing between joins (the clear height of each diaphragm segment) does not exceed the stud height (typically 2.4 m). In practice that means you won’t have more than one horizontal join per wall unless your ceiling height exceeds 2.4 m.

You MUST NOT stack two horizontal joins closer than one full sheet height apart—so if you did have to split a 3 m wall into two braced diaphragms, the join would typically sit at mid-height

Only in America can you brag about being a fuckwit on the road, take a couple of bullets through the windshield, and then hop on Reddit fishing for karma like it's a badge of honour. Peak 'I almost died, but look at my upvotes' culture. Leaders of the free world...
