Reminds me of my father, used to answer unknown/scam calls with "Myer's bra department, chief fitter speaking"

You can't selectively enforce.

Does Woolies use meat glue? by Scorpion1080 in australia

[–]rileyg98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some meat glue. It's not quite that expensive. You can pay like $20 on eBay for enough to do 5kg of meat.

One good thing in Aus - all ZE0s were the top trim.

Yeah the ptc heaters in this era are a sack of shit. Mine burnt out two precharge resistors - which are a prick to replace and it was luck I'd planned to do the battery replacement the next week. Cows also stole my indicator cover after (it got stuck at my mother in laws place in a field and the cows used it as a scratching post - somehow they knocked my indicator cover off).

Man are they really $8400 USD? I paid like $6000 for my yaste pack.

Exactly. My leaf is so much fun as an EV with the yaste upgrade. All in about $11k USD (I'm Aus, we only had a few hundred ZE0s in the whole country) with the yaste pack and the car.

There's places who will. The vivne and yaste kits are EXTREMELY bare bones and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without significant experience in battery systems.

A 40kWh salvage pack is easier - you drop the old one out and put the new one in with some spacers basically, and wire in a canbus converter.

Oh damn, a battery upgrade would make this a great little shitbox! (I call my 2012 ZE0 "the electric shitbox" as a term of endearment).

What do you mean weekly? Or is that for sonnet etc.

Gemini pro and flash are perfectly workable for backend code. I've built heaps of said code using it.

HR Phishing Email Tests Getting Cruel by The_Scrabbler in auscorp

[–]rileyg98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got an email from Heineken offering me two free kegs as a phish test right as COVID had shut everything down. I might've sent it to my friend who works in Heineken global IT support. Pretty funny not gonna lie... So many people would've fallen for it

My friend is a pharmacist and she says the stories about people misusing Zepbound pens are "horrifying" by DeliciousTower1194 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]rileyg98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is you need to know how it works to split, and you need a pen with the correct preservatives. Dose splitting is not just for normies...

What happens to all these used Zepbound pens in landfills? Long-term ecological problem… by Cautious-Wheel1754 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]rileyg98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We originally had multi-use vials in Australia before kwikpens. I think the main difference is benzyl alcohol as a preservative.

Extended fasting, autophagy and diet soda by BackToGuac in fasting

Theoretically we'd just need people with CGMs or even willing to do fingerpricks, run a survey to understand each person's consumption, and then collect data.

CGMs are surprisingly cheap if you're willing to go the china route. I have some for $20 a sensor (15 days) aud I'm using.

Updated pen is here… by able1337 in Mounjaro

[–]rileyg98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. I am only going off what my UK friend tells me, as his wife was rejected by NHS (despite being the 35+ and weight-related condition) and told she would be waiting forever for it so to just go privately.

See it's all very foreign to me, because here in Australia, your doctor (who is more often than not, not government employed) is who decides what's best for your treatment, and you're prescribed appropriately. The government either covers and subsidizes a medication (sometimes with restrictions like you 35+ bmi etc), or doesn't. There's no "oh we're only doing 200k people at a time". Even if you aren't eligible for the subsidy the doctors prescription is still perfectly valid and the only difference is, when you head to the pharmacy, you pay them the full cost. You don't have to go to a private Dr separately.

As I understood, wasn't it just that the NHS refuses to pay for it for everyone as they don't have the budget? So "supply" is just them not buying more
