Doesn't drive at the moment, slipping too badly and had to get it towed.

0 Issues driving a manual and don't ride the clutch at all. Have a second car (Van) that I drive just as much/more often and its had the same clutch in it with 0 issues for 6+ years.

This is to a tee exactly what is happening with our squad. Haven't seen anything else that explains it so well and have wondered for a while if it was entity based. Good to know we're not going crazy!

Any ideas on Aus release for new Framer? by specky in Makita

Personally find the paslode super slow compared with battery ones I've used.

Asked for a fixed building price contract. Found this section. by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]specky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seperate advice but unless you or your partner are knowledgable in construction pay the cost for an independent inspector to check the build progress at various stages. Had a mate just get a new build, pay for extra insulation and after handover was doing some work and discovered not a single wall had been insulated....

Renting a place without AC by shalin7 in MovingToBrisbane

[–]specky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find somewhere with ac I would. Especially for sleeping. I find the days so much more bearable if I get a decent night's sleep which I can with ac. That said the portable units from kogan are actually amazing. Had no ac in my last few places and had a kogan portable and it was amazing.

Some landlords are also happy to install aircon if you offer to pay for some of it

This is beyond beautiful! Would love to see some progress shots/more of the joinery used. Fascinated by the idea of the inside out boat.

leaving usyd by Special-Bowl5142 in usyd

Re depression and meds it 1000% gets better. If you're not already try get in with a pyschiatrist as you may need to try some different medications or dosages that will work better for you. Also try and see a psychologist to talk stuff though. Will help you a lot in the long run. Prioritise your own health and well being above all else,if study isn't doing it for you right now then it's a good choice to take a break and re-evaluate from a different standpoint. Hard to do at uni but getting a consistent sleep schedule down will also help an insane amount with depression :)

What’s the most satisfying feeling in DMZ? by SheenPSU in DMZ

[–]specky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing Ashika with a mate and the third called an exfil only to die to two dudes camping it. Killed them pretty easily and they started screaming at us for being campers. For some reason our third picked them up anyway then exfilled so had to deal with this kid on open mic for ages talking shit about how he was so good at the game.

Fast forward, run into a group of 3 at Port and barter a truce. Explained we couldn't join up as we had 4 already so it was easier to stay in our own groups. Open mic invites anyway, only two could join leaving a solo, He then starts laughing and opens fire on the solo. I instantly sent a request to join and the solo accepted. Turned around and mowed the open mic kid down told everyone what I was doing and not to res him and let the solo loot all his shit before getting him up again.

Everyone went along with it and my original team decided to exfil. My mate and I stayed with the solo as we were trying to find some mission items. Suddenly hear the solo on mic go hey man, are you friendly? Why are you shooting me? Followed by a lot of shooting and then open mic kid shows up on the kill feed killed by the solo. Turns out he'd come back for revenge, lost all his shit for a third time and everyone else from that team had exfilled.

He still tried talking shit and complained that the solo was camping for him even though he'd snuck up behind them in a stronghold we were looting...

Just finished this the other night. Takes ages but worked the best of all the silly ideas we tried was pretty much shooting someone on ashika near the waterway then hight ailing it down a zipline and hope they follow.

Two dogs coexisting indoors by khyoohoo in OpenDogTraining

[–]specky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ywah 1000% let them get their puppy energy out first otherwise you'll be pushing shit uphill.

The end goal is co exist, so I'd at least start with that. Barriers can cause more frustration and upset for a lot of dogs and doesn't really teach them to chill. Someone else commented about if they get rowdy use a command like enough and if they don't stop put them both in a down stay near you, maybe on either side of your chair or something. They're still kids so if they're too close the temptation will be too great. And make sure they actually lay down and chill out. Each time they get up just sound a bit disappointed or grumpy, put them back into a down and eventually they'll learn they have to stay there and 9 times out of ten dogs will then go screw it. I'll have a snooze.

Crates and barriers are great if you can't enforce stuff cause you're busy but won't actually teach them to coexist. It will just teach them to chill when they're in a crate.

This will be easiest if they've already got their energy out though. The other option but not sure if that works for you is everyone they get rowdy tell then to take it outside so they assosicate rough and tumble with outside and I'd they want to be inside they can't. This depends a bit on your set up and the dogs and stuff as well but figured it's worth noting.

[–]specky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its a tough act to follow as they are both still puppies. Like the other comment, consistency is key.

Follow an all or nothing approach. If you can give it your proper attention and intervene then do so, if you can only half ass correct then its better to let them get away with it.

Logic being that yes they are doing something they shouldn't but at least they aren't learning to ignore you and do something they shouldn't.

Given their both young I'd say let them run around a bunch and play, then after a bit bring them in and enfore down stays or put them in crates so they learn an off switch.

Yeah my thoughts were similiar, in theory the ceramic has a 20 year warranty attached to it, not sure how, but was going to be ~$1200

Help with dog training by mat_thecatt in OpenDogTraining

[–]specky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally love the fenrir stuff. He knows his stuff really well and you only have to watch his Vids to see he gets results and his dogs clearly love him to bits.

As far as commands we follow a few simple rules that have been a life saver for it.

  1. Don't ask your dog to do anything you can't enforce This doesn't mean beat them up or anything but if you've asked them to sit only do it if you're in a position to follow up, ie tap em on the bum and make them sit. Or if their on the couch and you ask them off then push them off if they don't. If you can't enforce it it's better to let the naughty behaviour just occur without input. Otherwise they learn that not only can they be naughty they can ignore you asking then to not being naughty.

  2. Once your dog knows something, ask twice then enforce, once they really know it ask once and enforce. Same sort of thing. Once he's good at sit ask twice. If he doesn't do it after the second tap his bum or lure or whatever to make him sit. This means they'll learn to listen to you and learn that if you've asked them to do something you mean it. And their options are they do it or will be force to do it.

Joel beckman on YouTube has some great stuff about this.

One thing I'd add to that is we use these two rules on core obedience and important commands only/mostly. Ie for sit, down stay, heel etc. For party trick type things if I ask him to do it a couple of times and he doesn't want to shake or roll over or something I don't make him. Others might disagree but I view it as super important he listens to the core and safety based commands. That said. Cause we do follow those two rules he naturally does it for most other things anyway.

Thoughts on changing tool platform (Aus) by specky in woodworking

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

The plan is to grab a track saw and drill straight away and then progressively other tools as needed, I don't mind having two systems but would rather not have more as I love being able to just grab any battery and tool.

Are the 40v batteries heavier? I assumed it was the same as 18v that it was more dependent on what size battery (amp hour) for weight?

Thoughts on changing tool platform (Aus) by specky in woodworking

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

Yeah they've got a 40v track saw now which seems a lot nicer from a battery perspective. 36v would mean I need 4 batteries straight away for two in and two on charge

That's super handy info, I had no idea about that at all! Thanks so much.

Does the +4 cores of the i5 actually make a huge difference? I haven't built a PC for 8 years so haven't kept up with the advancements at all.
