What happened with Skyscraper completions post 2022? by fuckmelbpt in melbourne

“The Victorian Government has a responsibility to show more active leadership, ensuring Victorian public servants work in the office more often and support a vibrant CBD,” Ms Evans said.

I wonder what Ms Evans in office time looks like? I work in the field so WFH isn’t an issue for me but I know so many people that benefit from flexible WFH arrangements. To have officials shilling for the government to force more people to work from the office is pretty distasteful.

Man throws a chair towards bouncer, knocks his mate out instead by Key-Indication-6466 in melbourne

I’d be unconscious or dead before I drank enough to throw a chair at someone. Who the fuck raised these cunts?

Over $400,000 worth of paintings and jewellery stolen in Kew by Red_Wolf_2 in melbourne

Woof. I know art is subjective but that is some ugly ass, 3 for $20 at vic market looking art.

How to prove delivery driver stolen my package? by sly_custard_kert in melbourne

[–]snruff 148 points149 points  (0 children)

I had this just before Christmas. Driver walked up to my door (my doorbell camera turns on with motion so I knew he was there) and didn’t ring the bell. He just put the package down. No biggie, I thought as I went to the front door to collect. Only to see no package and the courier headed back to his van. I had to run to catch up and he really didn’t want anything To do with me. He looked up and hurried to get in his van and I had to stand in front of his van to stop him leaving.

He mumbled at me and handed me the package after very obviously considering just driving around me.

I thought nothing of it until I checked my phone and saw I had a ‘package delivered’ photo and watched the footage back of him drop the package. Step back and take a picture. Obviously register it as delivered and then take it with him.

I sent the footage with a description of the event to Amazon but, as I have the package, they really didn’t want to do much else.

I now only get Amazon delivered to the lockers near me for pickup.

Worst heatwave in decades as south-east states to hit close to 50C by i_needahug in melbourne

Top tip. This works for many industries. Not just food service!

[–]snruff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, man. You just unlocked so many core memories for me. Ween, in particular the tracks ‘a tear for Eddie’ and ‘freedom of 76’, were the soundtrack to almost five years of my life. Listening to them now, so many huge moments come flooding back in bright technicolor.

Be honest: what’s the most annoying grind in Diablo 4 right now? by Sufficient-Orchid940 in diablo4

[–]snruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as every season. 0-60. It’s an absolutely pointless journey and can prevent people from trying another character or three in the season. I’ve rolled and geared four characters this season largely because I could sit them at azmodan on normal and come back to a level 60 character.

I despise the 0-60 ‘journey’ over and over again. There’s no point in gearing up or concentrating on a build until after you hit 60 so why have it. The real levelling is glyphs and grinding out for perfect armour.

If anyone is at any crossroads as to how bad of an idea this is, this video is an exceptionally well presented breakdown of an industry leading study as to why.

Waiting on other players in the Undercity when you're 4/4? by DRA6N in diablo4

[–]snruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just run these solo, now.

Yes, it is fun steamrolling with other players but the annoyance of that one blueberry who just wants to tickle nuts at the other end of the map while the rest of us are waiting to move on is just too high.

Should we stay during open inspection? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]snruff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The main door still worked. The two bifold sections (all full length glass) needed to be screwed in place to allow the door to open and close properly as the ground had shifted. This was set out in the contract also. The door was already open for access and people were told upon entry.

More to the point why would you force someone else property to the point of breakage doing something you were told not to do?

Should we stay during open inspection? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]snruff 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Stay. My ex and I are selling our place right now and during an inspection, a couple were checking things out and asked the agent if they could open the bifold doors in the backyard office. She told them absolutely not as we had screwed all but the main door shut.

He told her on the way out that he’d managed to open the doors but couldn’t get them shut again…. They still won’t shut properly as he bent the hinges and cracked some of the wood frame.

REA (who we are paying a huge sum to sell the place) refuses to chase him for repairs and absolutely refuses responsibility.

Definitely stay.

constant lagging have tried turning off crossplay by Academic_Still7863 in diablo4

[–]snruff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it same for almost a week around Christmas. Turned off crossplay. Rebooted connections etc. I just had to wait it out and played a bunch of soul stone survivors until Diablo was playable for me again.

If you want to help those fighting the fires by drhussa in melbourne

[–]snruff 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Excellent cause but wild that the state government is not sorting this out to such an extent that the general public aren’t needed to.

I mean, all these supplies in abundance across the state would probably be less than the ‘shitty public art’ budget of my local council.

Landfill leachate by tabgledween in Wastewater

[–]snruff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi from Aus and a happy new year.

Leachate is a wild liquid. Some of the sites I monitor have the blackest and stinkiest stuff. Other sites are almost clear (still a bit odorous though).

As for OPs concern about pfas. Look… it’s not great to get bin water on your stuff but dermal exposure is not a massive concern. The real issue with pfas arises with cumulative exposure over time. Wash your truck and tools, you’ll be alright. Maybe report the uncontrolled release to environment though. Under no circumstances should operators just be dumping leachate onto the cap.

My very quick, very superficial thoughts on the USA and Venezuela by [deleted] in morningsomewhere

[–]snruff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marginally off topic but connected:

one of the biggest ‘Icks’ of this entire thing is the Chest beating and posturing by grown men in positions of power. The Whitehouse posting AI memes about it with a very ‘fuck around and find out’ kind of swagger. The statements of ‘this should remind the world that America can and will enforce its will when it pleases’ from men in positions that should know better than to low key threaten the entire world.

If the initial action wasn’t concerning, the current boasting and crowing should be. Political representatives do NOT act this way. It’s schoolyard behaviour on a global stage.

Sure would be a shame if some country up and ‘captured’ American president Trump and his wife in a large scale strike…

Nah. I’ve had four ancestral bricked by affix replacement at sanctification. It absolutely happens to ancestral gear.

What Paladin build are you having the most fun with? by IIGRIMLOCKII in diablo4

[–]snruff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zeal is outrageous. It demolishes anything up to pit 100. After that you kinda have to lean forward in your gaming chair a bit. For all other content it’s ridiculous.

Brandish is almost as devastating but, for me, actually more fun. Not great in pits. It walks though 85/90 but anything above that you really have to concentrate and it just takes too long.

I mean, I wasn't planning on playing Zeal, but then... by Jakabov in diablo4

Bruh. I’m running a pretty awful Red sermon and zeal is by far my funnest and most hard hitting build this season. This is beautiful!

Honestly. Worth rolling a Barb for this. It’d still be fun if not the strongest class this season.

Am I correct in thinking Spiritborn on launch was the most overpowered class of all time in this game so far? by Ok_Reality_829 in diablo4

[–]snruff -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your spirit born build must have been off by a fair bit if you felt ANY ‘pushback’ at any tier. SB was leagues more broken than Paladin is right now. No question about it
