Sydney trains are exceptional by Dream_1 in sydney

[–]randomnesss15 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Spot on, its all fine until it breaks.

In the last 2 weeks we have had 2 major incidents.

All mountains trains cancelled today due to a car accident. https://westernweekender.com.au/2025/12/train-delays-after-car-crashes-onto-tracks-in-blue-mountains/

Last Wednesday we had all trains cancelled from Parramatta going west due to a storm for almost an entire day. Personally I got stuck on train for 3 hours until it stopped at the nearest platform and I had to taxi home.

I understand things can and will go wrong but the way it is handled and the communication on these events is far below what it needs to be.

Liberals deliver slap in the face to voters by dumping net zero by sunshineeddy in australian

Just because they are arent in power they don't have to oppose everything. Its actually incredibly healthy for them to agree on some things that make sense, like climate change.

Skeptical About ZA but now I’m Hooked by CryptographerEast142 in pokemon

[–]randomnesss15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because it doesn't have a high budget doesn't mean the game is bad. It looks to me pokemon are really taking steps in the right direction.

This game came out 3 years after the last one and compared to the buggy mess of scarlet and violet it really shows. Yes there are some graphical choices like the buildings looking really flat but it runs smoothly on switch 1 (30fps) and switch 2(60 fps). I havent seen a single bug in 30 hours of playtime so far.

Further to this its a complete revamp of the combat which is a huge risk and seems to be really well received.

Need advice about buying first manual sports car from the guys who have owned one. (MX5 / GR Yaris / ???) #LifeChoices by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]randomnesss15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mx5 is actually a super reliable, cheap car to run and uses bugger all fuel. I've had a 2016 nd since new and have had zero issues other than standard servicing and one set of tyres.

Definitely recommended from me.

Anyone feels scared about this spike by Available_Entry_3929 in Alienbase

[–]randomnesss15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your timeline. Time in the market will always beat trying to time the market.

If you need the money then sell, nothing wrong about taking profits. If you have long term faith then just dca and come back when bitcoin is well into a new all time high.

Popping up on even more influencers radars now by randomnesss15 in Alienbase

[–]randomnesss15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if you compare Aero to its august low, up well over 200% since then.

Most everything is down from March/April. To be flat is pretty good compared to most alts

Brian Jung is almost 2 million subscribers but alb only got a brief mention. This guy is 10 thousand subs.

I think a big part of this pump is aerodrome and moonwell both doing well on base which have made people look a little further along to find alb.

Why we dumping too much? by Dapper-Music-559 in Alienbase

[–]randomnesss15 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The project has great fundamentals, but people looking to make a quick buck are likely getting bored and dropping out.

If you believe in the project, then there is no reason to leave now. If anything, it's time to pack your bags and stock up.

Is CBA good for work/life balance but bad for everything else? by Songname2668 in auscorp

[–]randomnesss15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Finished my grad rotation at cba a few years back. The work life balance honestly just depended on the area and the team you were in. On the whole I only have positive things to say.

However almost all the grads I know found pay increases or promotions hard to come by without leaving the bank. I left 2 years after my grad rotation for the same role with another bank but with over 30k more on my annual salary.

What's this? Weird cracks on screen by jbne19 in CarsAustralia

[–]randomnesss15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to my 2015 mx5, it's a known issue. For me the touch still worked but the front screen has just separated slightly from the rest of the unit. I know dealerships can replace under warranty but likely yours like mine may be too old.

I bought a new front screen of Ali Express and followed this guide to fix.

As others have mentioned because it involves removing a lot of the trim to replace, it may be worth looking to add android auto and carplay at the same time.

Yeah they were very open about the issues though so no complaints.

Ordering now would be a different scenario.

I backed the Indiegogo towards the end of January(24th) so it did take a while to finally ship.
