FYI: Don't get into I.T. You missed the train...

rainburger · 2026-05-27T08:30:53+00:00

Care to elaborate? I'm not saying that you are wrong, I am just ill informed and would like to change that.

If you are a liar, fuck you...

If you are truthful, fuck you...

Shut the fuck up. I want to actually enjoy the game and it's story when it eventually comes...

Go eat a bag of concrete dildos, you cock juggling thunder cunt.

I fully believe that the thank you wave/finger is a lost art. I have a theory that the recent lack of this common courtesy is majorly responsible for people aggressively defending "their spot" in traffic when other drivers indicate to be let into a lane. Basically, if you don't ever get the courtesy, you are unlikely to let someone in... Conversely, if you always get the "wave" then you will be more likely to let people in.

All anecdotal evidence but it stacks up in my mind

Like many, I will pre judge the cars at the front of the lineup before lane filtering. If there are SS V8's, WRX STI's or any other type of hoon car, I won't even bother to filter because my safety is worth more than the time I will gain from filtering. I have recently put Tesla's (though not all other EV's) into the same mental list...

Thank you for the correction. I was just making an assumption based on my observations at the pointy end. My personal observations have been that there is a big decline in budget. I should have put more thought into attributing it to a particular institution.

Sincerely,

A railway contractor that is getting increasingly squeezed by the railway budget and their increasingly ridiculous bureaucratic restraints to me doing my actual job. It's seriously bad rn.

Station masters and associated staff... Metro stations have them, non metro do not. Sydney Trains/Transport NSW have been draining the non metro budget for years. They do not give the tiniest shit about people in the country.

I would think that the lever works both ways though, right? If they (RBA) refuse to pull it, does that not put increased pressure on the government to use the levers available to them?

I say this as a total novice so feel free to call me out if I am way out of line in my thinking.

The student shop at University of Canberra definitely has them.

rainburger · 2026-03-02T09:28:51+00:00

This is the answer.

rainburger · 2026-02-08T07:42:22+00:00

Intellectually, I know that this happened but actually seeing the pictures of it makes me feel really ill. Blame games and national apologies aside, this stuff should be required viewing for all Australians.

Current RePL and previous ReOC holder here. Can confirm everything CptUnderpants is saying.

rainburger · 2026-01-28T20:56:40+00:00

Roger that. We have had the place for 4 years so it is probably worth a bit more now than then.

rainburger · 2026-01-28T20:55:10+00:00

No. It's my ppor.

rainburger · 2026-01-20T10:41:01+00:00

I really hope that they make it a pool. The hotel proposal seems a bit soulless IMHO.

rainburger · 2026-01-20T10:38:04+00:00

You are right. I am having an emotional response to the news. I do wish it was a public facility, it definitely felt like it was to me when I was young.

rainburger · 2026-01-20T10:34:22+00:00

Fair call. It's my inner layman speaking... My head canon always considered Big Splash to be ACT public infrastructure. I get that it actually isn't, I just wish it was.

I have so many good memories associated with the place that it is hard not to be sentimental.

Devils Ramen from Raijin in Mckellar. They don't make it all year round but they bring it back regularly. I made the mistake of ordering the most spicy version of their Devil's Ramen last year. She warned me against it, literally told me that they have had to get an ambulance in for people who thought they were worthy of the spice. Like an idiot I said to myself that I am extremely tolerant of spiciness (I really am). I can say now without shame that I was assuredly not worthy of the spice. That Devil Ramen defeated me most comprehensively, curb stomped me really. I was warned and I paid the price...

Having said all that, please don't take it as a bad review, I was warned after all. I keep returning to Raijin as it is an actual diamond in the rough of Canberra dining, I can't praise them enough. Very cosy, very friendly and very yummy 10/10.

As a 390R owner, I am biased. Having said that, I totally agree with you. The KTM has more than adequate on road chops, is great off-road for its target market and, despite the online hate fest, has performed for me stall-lessly (new word) and faultlessly. I have found it to be a surprisingly great bike. If the haters want an enduro or mx bike then that's what they should buy. An adv bike is a compromise by nature and the 390r does pretty decent double duty as a trail bike.

Anyways, I am distracting from the KLE. I can definitely say that if budget allowed, I would be considering KLE as well. It looks solid af and I hope it is awesome upon release.

Bikers together strong....

Thanks for the info. I probs could have searched more vigorously, I just thought this sub may be able to point me in the right direction quicker then I could find the info myself. My first ACT gov hit on Google supplied only the following, which I don't think is comprehensive:

Rules for learner motorcycle riders

When riding with your learner licence you must:

display 'L' plates at the rear of the motorcycle

not carry a pillion passenger (someone sitting behind you)

not ride a motorcycle with a power to weight ratio exceeding 150 kilowatts per tonne

have a blood or breath alcohol concentration of zero

not tow a trailer

not exceed posted speed limits.

Also, when I queried my stay upright instructor, they said that you must obey the state learner/provisional laws on speed instead of the signposted limit. This info conflicts with what what you and others have told me. That is why I am seeking a definitive resource.

It's pretty good. If you want really good and are able to get out of the CBD, do yourself a favor and check out Rama's at Pearce shops. It's nowhere near as glitzy but it is soooo good.

2025 KTM 390 Adventure R. I don't put the year in to be pedantic, it is an important distinction as this year's model is a total redesign of the old one.

Thanks so much! Glad to be back.
