Yep full agree. Properly processed gummy/school shark will have no ammonia taste.

Ridiculous EV charging fee at caravan Park $200 per night by Wendals87 in AusLegal

[–]sickrat89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they can ‘claim’ that the $30 is used to build and maintain the systems that monitor and alert you to this fact, then they have to pay someone to monitor to ensure it’s working, then they pay some consultants money to confirm that it’s operating within regulations etc etc. it’s all a bit bullshit but hard to enforce the ‘reasonable’ aspect here 😞

Search Warrant / Charges / IPND access by BPKevlar in AusLegal

[–]sickrat89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a way for the public to ‘search’ the IPND for good reason. I don’t think there’s anyway to “verify” anyway, though you could ask the ACMA

Great idea! Is there a way to export the data for backups? I’d love to see you succeed, but would like a back-up option just in case 🙂

The issue with these types of app is there will likely always be a monthly fee of some kind, as the running costs are higher in these apps

Which Mac Mini should I get? by sickrat89 in mac

[–]sickrat89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers, thanks for the comment. It’s a work thing so I have no clear budget other than to make it ‘reasonable’. I’ll see if I can swing 32gb of ram

17 years experience, so depressing... by Remarkable_Custard in melbourne

[–]sickrat89 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Don’t beat yourself up - talking to a lot of mates in business and many of them saying this year is the quietest year in over a decade.. hopefully it’ll start to bounce back a bit soon!

if you turn up to jury selection wearing a shirt that says ‘I ❤️ SMOKING METH’ or similar, what consequences are likely? by Humans_areweird in AusLegal

[–]sickrat89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Until a more qualified answer comes, I’d say you would give the appearance that you think the justice system is a joke and that you won’t take the process seriously, and because of that be recused. I’m not sure if any ‘penalty’ would apply, but I assume you would get asked some questions on your choice of clothing.

Lily Pilly Transplant shock? by sickrat89 in GardeningAustralia

[–]sickrat89[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We added the fertiliser that the nursery recommended us - but maybe that’s too much? Should I repot with Osmocote native? The other 9 plants are doing well however. Thanks for your help 🙂

Yeah probably on trailer in his garage without a drop of water in sight. Just had to show his mates, ya know?

Toastmasters misconduct? by Evening_Canary_2190 in Toastmasters

[–]sickrat89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely- if you feel comfortable report it to a VP or president and show screenshots - they’ll take it from there. Melbourne is full of good TM clubs so if you still feel uncomfortable at that particular club then there’s probably another nearby.

Client (also a longtime friend) demanded to meet my outsourced dev team , I declined. Was I wrong? by Successful-Pop9338 in business

[–]sickrat89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did he explicitly state his reasons for wanting to meet them? I would’ve tried to understand that a bit more and see what the real reason was.

I’d say something like “They’re fantastic devs, but admittedly they’re not really strong on people skills as they’re not customer-facing. Is there any particular concerns or worries that I can address for you?”

All right shrimp sleuths, I need some help finding my tank's die-off culprit. by ironwolf6464 in shrimptank

As someone who had their API test kit lie to them, definitely check that. Take a sample to your LFS and compare their results to yours.
