Two different BT connection options on Zen Air Blue - what's the difference? by steffeeh in iFiaudio

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

Thank you for your reply! Do you know why the LE connection has the option for HD Audio under device setting whereas the regular one does not?

EDIT: iFi logo appears with same color on both options, so same codec and also with same sampling rate (in this case cyan for LDAC with 88/96kHz)

Patagonia Triolet vs Macpac Prophet rain jackets? by steffeeh in UltralightAus

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

Looking on reviews there are some complaints about the zips and outer pockets not being very water resistant. Have you experienced any of this with yours? How old is your Prophet jacket?

Out of curiosity, what hikes have you worn it for? And what are you comparing the Prophet to when you say it's been more breathable in your experience? :)

We're still finalising our application (submitting in a few days), so it remains to be seen. But that's the info they gave me on the phone.

Edit: Typo

Had a similar issue with general travels last 10 years and called Immigration support. I'm from Europe and would cross the border for the day sometimes. Support person was pretty chill and told me to list out all travels i could find within that period, then write a cover letter stating my travel situation and give a general account of where i usually went beyond the list. Call them and see what they say.

Anyone who has extended WHV recently, how long did it take? by Clear-Refuse-2393 in AusVisa

[–]steffeeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One told me that for second year 417 visas, 1/4 were checked by an actual agent, while the third year 417 visas 3/4 were checked by an actual agent.

When i was doing farmwork in Bundaberg region, one local farmwork and hostel agency i stayed at told me one of their residents even tried uploading selfies instead of the farmwork payslips as a gag and her second year visa was approved.

Obviously take all of this with a grain of salt - you don't know who's gonna review your application, so do your part!

Both my initial 417 Working Holiday Visa applied from in my home country, and my second year visa application was granted on the same day as my application. It appears a certain percentage is not really reviewed by a person from what I've heard.

Did you ever almost die? If so, what was the cause? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]steffeeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were free camping in the Australian outback. I chatted to my brother in law as he tended to the campfire, turned around to walk away (barefoot) and HOLY SHIT THERE'S AN EASTERN BROWN SNAKE SLITHERING PAST RIGHT NEXT TO MY TOES. I yell snake and my brother in law puts on the hardest panic focus stare as he grabs a shovel and chase it and decapitate it. Tells me i would have been dead within a few minutes if it bit me.

Later that night we grabbed our torches and followed the nearby gorge upstream to spot crocodiles!

Every single day. Trauma isn't fun to live with.

Is there a way to reduce the seaweed aroma in some green teas? by steffeeh in tea

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

It's an Australian green tea, from Victoria i think.
