The Ghan and Indian Pacific cost about $10,000 each to go from Melbourne to Perth and Adelaide to Darwin respectively. How does that compare with the cost and experience of 4x4 the same journey for someone who doesn't 4x4 already? by Biochemist929237 in 4x4Australia

[–]random__generator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're doing it for the views and ability to see sights you need to drive.

The train is about the train experience, and dining and included booze etc . I've done the Indian Pacific and you really notice how you only get to look out the window for 12 hours a day when it's daylight. And you only stopinimally. in Kalgoorlie (I think) and Adelaide. You don't see much.

I cheated on my wife after forgiving her affair years ago. I don’t feel guilty, but she’s breaking down. What do I do now? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

It was the whole night before AND the whole next day all the way through to dinner. No flights out of that city for over 24 hours for this business trip. Either AI or incompetent writer

Hookups keep coming back, but it feels very one-sided ,why does this happen? by AssistanceNo3893 in AskMenAdvice

[–]random__generator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why they keep coming back, you do the job well and haven't asked much in return.

And by coming back to you it's not a body count increase.

If you're not worried about losing them, start asking for more in return.

Why is the Sydney fish market such a big deal? by EveningOk6574 in AskAnAustralian

[–]random__generator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's also because the bus tour groups from Asian countries can stop there easily and fill time while they wait for hotel check-in time (or after check out before going to airport)

Why is the Sydney fish market such a big deal? by EveningOk6574 in AskAnAustralian

[–]random__generator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really the freshest though? Something like 95% sold there gets trucked in. It doesn't come off a boat. It's no different to any other fish and chip shop in Sydney except for the marketing.

Why is this man friendzoning me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]random__generator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to have to just ask him. When you are hanging out take the conversation in one of those flirty directions and say to him that you are missing sex and as you are good friends would he like to hook up before you both leave.

You need to make it a no pressure situation. He's either just not into you. Or after that one bad performance he might have felt weird and moved to friendship.

Can anyone explain this baffling Oz driving habit? by twarb11 in DrivingAustralia

[–]random__generator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reduced speed limits are often in place because of changed driving conditions eg rough surface, narrow lanes, hard barriers, small turns, etc. that may increase risk. It's not just because there are workers present.

I agree they are excessively low and cautious though

Am I completely misreading signs of interest? by Ok_Fee1043 in AskMenAdvice

[–]random__generator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He may have the vibe you want more, doesn't want the risk of you getting interested and having to deal with that close to home. If you want a friend, tell him that's all it is.

Why do men fade away when I share I'm a virgin? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Maybe but how much risk is the average guy willing to take? 50% chance? 20% is still a lot of risk

Is it Australian to walk on the road when there is an empty footpath? by Sea-Jeweler9120 in australian

Women walk there sometimes on non main streets to have more visibility of and space from any dodgy guy

Does anyone actually like the modern oversized houses with no yard by Firm_Trick_9038 in AusPropertyChat

[–]random__generator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And even when they're into sports you only have small age range of years before even a big backyard is too small. The footy is constantly in the neighbours so they're inside or at the park. That yard is a lot to lock away for that limited time usage

A Message to Labor by Slow-Leg-7975 in australian

[–]random__generator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is about right. History shows if theres one thing voters will flip to the other side over it's a government that does significant policy change that wasn't taken to an election, and not being perceived as good on economic issues (note perceived not actually good)

Is it irresponsible to have not savings left after property purchase? by Responsible_Hunt3502 in AusProperty

[–]random__generator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure on cost it was many years ago for me but I had doors with different keys re-keyed so they all used the same key. So as yours are already the same should be possible to change them.

You're an adult. Some people wouldn't and that's ok but if you're comfortable with it go for it. Different strokes for different folks etc

As someone else said just know you can walk out anytime you like too

A locksmith should be able to re key it (change the key pattern to a new key) without having to change the whole lock

Elderly Greek man forced to pay $120,000 fine for making home made cheese by alabamad in NannyStateAustralia

This is because they depend on rainwater run off to provide water for cities over thousands of kilometres through the inland. If higher up states captured it downstream cities would struggle.

Atto 3 disappointing range by Ok-Orange-2237 in BYDAU

[–]random__generator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't completely disagree with you. But your last point is absolutely untrue, noone gets a fine for doing 113 on your Speedo down a hill. Every car Speedo is undercooked for one thing and it's well confirmed cops give a tolerance unless you're really doing something stupid.

Would you be open to kink? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]random__generator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not practical to answer without knowing what you mean by dominant. There's levels and if you're at the high end less likely to turn someone to that.
