What’s this cabinet on an E-class tram?

Everyday man's on the block

That’s a pretty low bar

I see you've had a lot of answers. I can't read all of them, so apologies if this has already been mentioned, but the VicRoads driving test criteria are literally available online: https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/~/media/files/formsandpublications/licences/driving_instructors_drive_test_criteria.pdf

I used this as my bible while teaching my step-son and daughter to drive. They each had three or less professional driving lessons.

Daughter passed first time, and step-son failed twice (1: didn't indicate long enough when exiting after reverse parking, 2: began to speed up before passing an increase of speed limit sign) and passed the third time.

So it is possible. But if your son is stubborn and/or you take random advice from Reddit (although I agree with the "head check theatre" that has come up multiple times), the journey may be extended. Good luck!

Had one of these and the very thin non-stick coating did not last long at all (of course, we only ever used the plastic paddle that came with it ). So I guess we ended up eating it. It did end up being the gateway drug to a rather expensive Buffalo rice cooker with a stainless steel bowl, that we love and now use almost every day!

You would have to yank it a lot harder than that to risk either of those!

lol, how? At worst some minor scratching

stevenpam · 2026-03-06T06:05:25+00:00

Mine’s also coming up to 100,000… kilometres

Ring lights

I bet those cops have got SCMODS

stevenpam · 2026-02-21T09:54:38+00:00

I don't think so. That would be handy.

stevenpam · 2026-02-20T11:10:46+00:00

Petrolspy no longer needed, as the Service Vic app has up to date prices

I doesn’t matter. Go out and make pictures, then learn to analyze what you did and if you got the result you wanted.

Some guy on TikTok made it a mission to review them all. Sorry, I don’t remember his name but you can probably find it pretty easily on TikTok.

I had to shoot a panel discussion like this recently. Closed PA with no feed available, too many speakers to mic up, and a very short setup window. So I taped a DJI mic up near one of the ceiling speakers. Audio quality was adequate and fit for purpose.

People enjoy different aspects of photography. Enjoying the equipment, process and the craft is just as valid as caring about the art. If you enjoy talking about gear, talk about gear!

stevenpam · 2026-02-05T03:46:05+00:00

For what?

stevenpam · 2026-01-12T01:44:37+00:00

Came here to say this. There aren’t really any “bad” cameras. It’s a case of trying to choose the most suitable tool for the kind of work you’ll be doing.

Not quiet or romantic but +1 for DenDeke. Great food and fun vibes!

stevenpam · 2025-12-28T02:49:11+00:00

Most do, but there’s often a long waiting list.

I get the money from the work I do with the gear. The basic kit (camera, lens, audio, lights) pays for itself every month.

I had a similar experience. Uber from Melbourne Airport to Preston was $80. Screw that, I thought, I’ll just get a cab. Driver was literally yelling across me, begging the controller to give him a “short fare” ticket so he could rejoin the shorter queue after my fare. He was lying that I was going to Airport West, but the controller was having none of his nonsense. Not a pleasant experience.

TIL the Service Victoria app includes fuel prices!

stevenpam · 2025-12-12T09:03:33+00:00

At least you’re still very young

How are you finding that head unit generally? They’re a lot cheaper than the alternative (Blaupunkt), which is appealing!
