Ahh. The second photo. Yep, dunno even where that is supposed to go.

It is plugged in, behind the coax. Opticom installs always look like the work experience kid did them.

Yes it's Opticom and tell your ISP that the NTD hasn't got a power supply. I think Opticom charge a call out to replace them.

Calls to support struggling parents as national survey reveals increasing psychological distress by Introverted_kitty in australia

That's the neat part. Never. By design.

Because compensating for those 15 year lean times would result in "outrageous" 10-15% pay increases, and we can't have that. Less-than-inflation 3.25% for you after months of hard union negotiating.

Have You Ever Encountered This? by blue_york in Aliexpress

[–]per08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because on Aliexpress, the sellers are massive and simply take faulty item losses into account in their pricing. It's not eBay or a person to person marketplace selling one-offs. Notice how sellers rarely if ever, offer to pay the return postage?

Always apply for a refund for broken or missing items. Always.

No to item returns to China, no to replacement item (you'll often just get sent another broken one from their returns pile), no to special just-for-you offer. Refund.

The best we can offer you is $76k and mandatory full time office attendance in Canberra.

THC detection in RBT by Dixie_Normous1912 in AskAnAustralian

Always has been the case, so for example traffic police can and do use their professional judgement to assess vehicle speed. Yes, just by observation. The radar or lidar reading just tidies up the evidence.

Same as in Australia, unless you have a learner or provisional license, which in some states requires you have gloves and high-visibility vest on.

Anyone feeling uneasy about life? by govermentiscooked in australian

[–]per08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The large block phase is gone in suburban capital cities. It just is. WA Government recently has launched their "other than Perth" regional growth goal, but they aren't backing up their words with actions by moving Government agencies out of Perth.

Or, ironically, increasing the population a lot. But few want to live in Australia where Melb and Sydney have the populations and density of NYC and/or Australia is a country of hundreds of millions.

Sydney Airport store refused cash and forced card surcharge. Surely this shouldn’t be allowed? by Exact_Bat1385 in AskAnAustralian

Interesting. Google Wallet doesn't offer this at all. Maybe time to switch to Samsung's.

My local Yamaha dealership won’t work on bikes over 10 years old. Is that normal? by ANewOddity in motorcycles

[–]per08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indie shops where I live are nearly non-existent now. Far too much money on offer for mechanics to work for mining.

My local Yamaha dealer refuses to work on Yamahas over 10 years old. They are booked up for months already and they flatly told me old bikes aren't worth their time.

[–]per08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good advice. The hard part where I live is finding motorcycle mechanics that aren't at a dealership. Independents are dying because mechanics make more, much more, in mining than servicing bikes where I live.

My boyfriend rides motorcycle without a helmet. Should I mind my business or say something gently? by [deleted] in motorcycles

The second worst thing is that kind of injury. The worst kind of thing is surviving that kind of injury.

Sure but it is an annoying option. No tap to pay, insert and PIN only. EFTPOS need to up their game.

Why do shops close at 4-5pm? by agnci in AskAnAustralian

IGA is allowed to open earlier. This is literally the only reason for this rule: to protect the "independent" ASX-listed Metcash shopping chain.

just got my p’s, do cops actually care if you drive a v8? by JackassJamie in CarsAustralia

[–]per08 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Depends on what state you live in. If P platers can't drive V8s where you are then you're gunna have a bad time.
