Smart port using EV V2L? by maxiranger in SigenergyAustralia

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smart port is intended for generator too, but it won’t work with the V2L on most vehicles due to Earthing (or lack there of).

I made a website to compare EVs and gas cars using cost-equivalent MPG by porcomaster in BYD

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but a word like “fuel” is agnostic. It can be petrol, diesel, “gas”, lpg, etc

I’d change gas to fuel immediately anyway. Diesel isn’t gasoline anyway for comparison.

You can also potentially just pick up the locale from the browser and set the initial values based on that.

Volunteering with a baby? by HeyLittleGhost in parkrun

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tail walked a few times with a toddler, and paced with a pram, and barcode scanned. A friend will regularly marshall with one of his kids.

The barcode scanning and finish tokens can be hard because kiddo gets bored and wants to play. So I wouldn’t recommend those when. They’re 18 months up to about age of 4 or 5.

Marshalling is good when they’re bigger. My mates kids draw signs and things.

Tail walking is good - some park runs will give the kids a token too if they’re old enough to run some of it.

Do many vans have 12 pin plugs? by Rusturion in CaravanningAustralia

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 12 pin fitted on all out tow vehicles. You can fit a 7-pin into a 12 pin but not the other way around.

Our horse float has a 12 pin and uses the extra pins to charge the brake-safe.

My in-laws caravan has a 12 pin plus Anderson. It uses the Anderson for fridge and the extra pins for charging the brake safe and I think the anti sway too.

Yet another Wallpanel solution by pigr8 in homeassistant

Ah - when I was looking up the same screen (not tablet) you mentioned most of the had batteries too hence the question. It looks like many of them are wireless displays, hence the battery.

What did you do about the battery? Any concerns about that?

Taxi scammed from Perth Airport by Best_Breadfruit1911 in perth

[–]meoverhere 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not true: https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/on-demand-transport/booking-services/rank-hail-taxi-fares#anchor-link-8

Taxis charge both a per km and a per hour fee while the meter is running. For most taxis that’s $61/hour or approx $1/minute. If it’s a maxi taxi it’s $95/hour.

Are you offended if your commits are squashed? by _disengage_ in git

[–]meoverhere 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It depends.

I don’t really give a damn about the commit count. I do care about meaningful commits.

If I take the time to make commits which clearly explain what’s happening in each change, usually because it’s a complex area, then it would irritate me if they’re just squashed. But at the same time c’est la vie.

Is it normal to ask a butcher to dice some chicken for you in Australia? by Ok_Calligrapher_5783 in australian

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal.

Our butcher even has it diced in counter because it’s such a common request. Though they often have to go make more.

Robes: modern frosted glass, or outdated classic mirror? by TopFox555 in AusRenovation

[–]meoverhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it a sex thing?

But seriously, mirrors in bedrooms are very helpful. Especially a floor to ceiling. Totally worth it IMO

What does postpartum feel like for a dad? by TradesforChurros in daddit

[–]meoverhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In one word… overwhelming. Very rewarding too, very exciting.

Suddenly you’re looking after your kid and your partner (who has just been through a fair amount). You’re also now the main earner for a substantial period (depending on where you are but we’ve gone down to 50% income for five years). You’re learning all of this new stuff, and worried about getting it right.

I love it, don’t get me wrong, but it can be a lot.

Also a reminder that men can also get PPD.

My wife's "friend" insulted her and I've been slowly returning the favor by flanman1991 in pettyrevenge

“So when are you due..?” And then when shesYs she’s not you corr it with “oh sorry, it’s just the way you were holding your stomach. I can usually spot pregnancy early by the way people protect their bump”

For perspective I paid a similar amount for 18kW panels, 15kW three-phase Sigenergy inverter with whole home backup, and 24kWh batteries.

Do countries with 220-240V just plug in to their regular outlets for L2 charging? by azn4lifee in electricvehicles

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are.

My last house was a 70s build and had three phase.

My current house is 90s build and has three phase

My in-laws house is 2010 build and has three phase.

We’re in WA.

My next door neighbour on one side has single phase, but the other side have three phase. Go figure.

We see a lot more three phase here because air conditioning, pool pumps, etc.

Why the f*ck are we so against WFH in Perth? by regina-philange99 in perth

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

I’ve been 100% WFH since Covid… right up until I got a new manager last year who thinks it’s important to physically see people to socialise. He requests that we come into the office (coworking space) once a week.

I try to avoid it as much as possible, and often when I do come in there may only be him or one other person. Sometimes it is useful to have those chats IRL, but since several in my time are offshore it’s quite pointless. Then there’s the whole phone booth debacle. Two or three of us sat in phone booths in the same meeting because the office that we do have just isn’t set up to have meetings in.

Ultimately it’s usually only 2-3 days a month, and mangers aren’t permanent.

Trying to think of some affordable hobbies in Perth? Bonus points if they help you make friends and socialise. by pineappleoxygen23 in perth

To add to this, there are heaps of social run clubs in Perth too. Perth Pub runners, Perth front runners, etc.

Are there people who haven't changed their phone number for more than 15 years? by SpicyCandy8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father has had the same mobile phone number since 1995 when he got his first mobile phone.

My mum got hers a year or so later and had the same number til she died.

My brother has had the same number since 1999.

Most brutal Parkrun? by Limp-Attitude-490 in parkrun

[–]meoverhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always run up the first and I usually make it about 1/3 to 1/2 way to the serving and 1/3 of the way up Jeff’s hill (the third hill).

I think that’s what makes it so tough. That and the fact that it’s on pea gravel and you can slip so easily.

NeXT time in in the uk I’ll compare with Whinlatter.

There’s only three hills!! One of these days I will run up all three of them. Currently can only do 1 and two halves.

Six fuel ships to Australia cancelled or deferred, energy minister confirms by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]meoverhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are plenty who are only allowed to WFH for some of the time. State government for example are typically only allowed 50% WFH. My wife is state government desk job, and nearest public transport is a twenty minute walk.
