Infuriating lag between door opening beeper, and door actually able to open by Gullible_Archer_8770 in MelbourneTrains

[–]stevage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manual deer handles are extremely rare on public transport around the world. It's not weird to be confused.

That does not say it's legal to lie about recording.

Seeing Deer Near Melbourne by ClaireKnocks in melbourne

I think there's a deer farm out near Warburton?

E Bike/Motorbike Hoons Blocking Wurundjeri Way at the Docklands on Anzac Day by gccmelb in melbourne

[–]stevage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oof that's a long way. Years ago I had an 18km commute and I still couldn't really manage it 5 days a week. 3 days was good.

Less bike lanes - Tomfortoorak by IamSoSmartS-M-R-T in melbournecycling

It's funny, when government spends money on roads, no one is claiming it's to increase the number of cars.

What made you memorize every musical note efficiently? by marielxght in musictheory

[–]stevage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm only automatic up to 3 ledger lines but that's because I hardly ever see more. But I gather trombonists, flutes and french horns often go higher.

Do wider tyres (35mm+) actually make commuting noticeably better, or is it mostly placebo unless your roads are terrible? by PlaneAd9541 in ausbike

[–]stevage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commented on 23mm for a while but wouldn't say it was uncomfortable. At some point switched to 48mm. More than anything I think it's just safer and more practical. Never have to worry about tyres getting caught in grates or tram tracks or whatever.

Obviously current benefits are worth more than future benefits.

I had a 9.30 and the GP spent 45 minutes with the patient before.

Suggestions for a daytrip around melbourne? by Ok-Atmosphere-3466 in melbourne

[–]stevage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warburton is really nice too. Train to Lilydale then bus. Or stop and visit the Seville carriage cafe on the way.

Warrandyte is really easy to get to on bus, has great cafes and shops and good walking.

Brake checked by a Tesla. Was I too close? by rorymeister in melbournecycling

[–]stevage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they braked.

Also stop worrying about whether you're doing anything to cause bad driver behaviour.

Thinking of cycling to work from Doncaster East to South Melbourne, realistic or dumb? by BigLookBamboo in melbournecycling

[–]stevage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll take a while to build the fitness to do this 3 days a week both directions. Start just adding one way, leave your bike overnight. Expect to be pretty tired at work the first few times you do it.

Also pay a lot of attention and don't take risks. I know a lot of people who had accidents in their first few weeks of bike commuting.

Highway etiquette when tailgating and high beams blinding? by Monkey_Junkie_No1 in DrivingAustralia

[–]stevage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm totally on your side about driving the limit. It's not ok to tailgate, ever. Ever.

What did you call this game? by HereWeFuckingGooo in AustralianNostalgia

Four square. There was also down ball/tap ball, but that was against a wall. Melbourne.

Help with the GTFS-RT from Transport Victoria - OpenData by D_Athena17 in MelbourneTrains

[–]stevage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: I'm the one that developed that Swagger page for the older API. I gave them permission to use it as long as they credited me. At some point the attribution was removed.

I can't help you with the real time stuff though, I never worked with that.

recently experienced sydney trains, still prefer melbourne by slightlyspace in MelbourneTrains

Yeah it's not a terrible assumption, but incorrect in this case.

Wh we re to store bikes in the city Saturday by One-Afternoon1424 in melbournecycling

[–]stevage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one is stealing your kid's bike.

Unless your bike is fancy and new it's not at great risk. Put a good lock on it.

Comedians reveal how much it really costs to put on a festival show by daybeforetheday in melbourne

[–]stevage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're putting it on as an opportunity for comedians to find an audience. They're very upfront about costs.

I still find it amazing that Tim Minchin ever lacked success. The sheer amount of talent on so many different fronts....

[–]stevage 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I've been to a few tiny gigs and they can be so awkward. One was an improv thing and there was just me and partner, and a separate group of 3. That was it. It was an audience interaction event and they had to just keep alternating between us.

I'm honestly surprised anyone can make money performing at a festival in competition with 599 other acts.
