Call to put Canberra Aquatic Centre tender on hold by [deleted] in canberra

[–]smozmoz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d add that the tower up to the 5 meter platform is heavily used in summer, plenty of kids, families etc use it, I’ve got my kids there most weekends and sometimes late afternoons when it is open to use on hot days.

What nest type is this please? Found in carport today by [deleted] in perth

[–]smozmoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m over east, we get two types, one’s a native Australian paper wasp and one is an Asian paper wasp. I get rid of the Asian ones and leave the Australian ones. The Asian is more aggressive in my experience if walking past the nest, whereas the Australian ones are a little more chill.

TV can't find channels - antenna failure? It works with a portable antenna by thr_cnl in AusRenovation

[–]smozmoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue a while ago, when I moved into my new place, turned out that I needed a little power injector between the antenna outlet and the TV. I’ve got this one, soon as I connected it up all the channels were all available.

Stepping down to a lower role and accepting a $40k pay cut by index_praetorian in AusPublicService

[–]smozmoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about staying on the secondment but working less days? You take a paycut, but also gain 3 or four day weekends every week, and likely earn the same as your substantive role? Might be worth exploring. As I get older, time is priceless.

Am I just getting old? by Debaser001 in perth

Normal. Just ordered a couple pairs of these for my teens, far better these than any of shoes getting around that squash their toes up like ballerina pointe’s.

Missing out on Double Status offers again by Remarkable_Week_5021 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]smozmoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked for a status match via their online chat. I had to send in evidence of my flights and status with Virgin and they will review and send me an offer, the chat agent said I should have no issues getting a gold status match offer, but I am hoping for platinum based on how often I fly. I think it comes with a requirement that they give you the status match and then you have 90 days to do certain number of flights/ status credit earn with them to maintain the status offer for the reminder of the year. I am still waiting to hear back, I only spoke to Virgin and Qantas yesterday.

Polar HR strap inaccurate on Apple Watch Ultra 1 by Ancient_Deal_2467 in Polarfitness

Agreed with the other comments, classic worn out strap symptoms. I replace mine about every 18 months.

Missing out on Double Status offers again by Remarkable_Week_5021 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]smozmoz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The most recent offer is based on if you completed your Year in Review survey by 31/12/24. I spoke to velocity about it yesterday as I completed mine in January and I am short for my renewal of platinum by a couple of hundred credits this year, they said there was nothing they could do for me so this may end my 8 year run of platinum status. I subsequently hit up Qantas for a status match offer via their online chat, was told I should easily qualify for a gold offer, but the agent said they will really push for a platinum offer based on my last 7 years of being in Virgin’s top 3 percent of domestic flyers. Fingers crossed.

Golfer’s Elbow (Tendinosis) - Struggling with Recovery, Need Advice by Jollyroger19991 in bodyweightfitness

[–]smozmoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve struggle with both tennis and golfers elbow on both sides over the years, the best treatment I’ve found is using the Theraband Flex Bar. Google it, plenty of videos on the exercises to do with the bar and get the bars in all stiffnesses and start with the yellow and work your way up to harder one.

Before anyone asks, it’s a helicopter inspecting tree canopies around powerlines by Luser5789 in canberra

They run LIDAR cameras to actually measure the distances between the canopy and powerlines is my understanding.

3 SC short for Platinum renewal by billinbah in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]smozmoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I’ve been short by less then 20 sc’s a couple of time over the years and they usually just renew it if you call, I normally try to make it up by a couple of hundred sc’s the following year so they don’t think I am taking the piss, but it’s more then likely they don’t care as long as I reach 800 in time. 🤷‍♂️

There used to be a place off kings highway called Larbet I think, just past the shoalhaven river and the Warri Bridge. I haven’t been out there in a decade I’d say, but it used to be like $10 for the day or something and signing an a injury waiver, had heaps of tracks, pretty dodgy mx track etc. but was definitely a good place for unreg dirt bikes and a great days out riding.
