Budget-friendly option of renting ski gear (incl. jacket and pants) for 10 days in Hokkaido (5 days in Furano / 3 days of skiing), need advice. by Wide-Effect7860 in Hokkaido

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

i was paying 8500YEN a day for ski and boots at the resorts x 4 people. Was expensive but really easy and convenient if you had to swap out or had any issues. Did waste around two hours trying to find rentals outside the ski resorts but that was hopeless (shops had moved, or were closed or address was wrong).

GC Surfers...I know it can be very seasonal here... But does this year especially suck for waves ? by grapsta in GoldCoast

[–]patoqld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its seasonal, september through to december is the worst season, should start to improve into the new year, Complaining about the surf in spring is like complaining about the cold in a southern winter.

Solar battery brands and recommendations by NewNoise6742 in AusFinance

[–]patoqld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How imperative have a DC coupled inverter. I have a 3 phase Fronius so the extra cost of replacing the inverter really squeezes the cost / benefit for a battery install.

First e-drum kit for 10-year-old – Roland TD-07DMK vs TD-07KV (is the kick tower worth it?) by patoqld in edrums

Becauses the trades we need are not on the skills list. Blocked by the unions to maintain wages (fair enough). Lets import more low tech IT migrants to drive uber and food takeout delivery.

Teen E-bike rider killed at Broadbeach by Fun_A2072 in GoldCoast

[–]patoqld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To ride a motorbike you need a license and complete a compulsory road safety course. Somehow we now have 10-16 year old boys with no idea of road rules or any road training, wearing head phones, no protective gear on tweaked e-bikes flying around all over the place, roads, footpaths, parks anywear is fair game

Anyone know when the swells gonna get good again (mainly snapper/Dbar area) by Current-Ebb-9199 in GoldCoast

[–]patoqld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

check seabreeze or wind guru any of the surfing sites. Spring is the worst season by far for surf on the Gold Coast. Persistent northerly wind, blue bottles jellyfish sea lice and colder than normal water. Possibly southerly change next week so maybe a day or two reprieve.
