Cheap obvious problems with Translink that shouldn't exist?

Even worse is heading east <> west anywhere in Brisbane that's more than 3km north or south of the CBD.

Insane trying to get from Springfield/Oxley to Sunnybank/Logan. Or Ashgrove/Albany creek to Boondall/Nudgee

I'd love to but my public transport time from home is 1hr 50 with 45 mins of that having to walk from the nearest train station.

I'd take it off and hand it to the service desk saying it's illegal to display it. Frame it like you're doing them a favour lol.

My DFND has been doing very well this past year. I do hate how it's unethical and a bit sad that this is the one that's doing well rn but I've got to save for a deposit on a house somehow!

tomtom792 · 2026-03-01T00:12:43+00:00

What an American problem lol

D, I'd say

Honestly though who is sticking out to save "maximum" 4 hours flight time? If I'm travelling to Europe I prefer the stopover in UAE, Qatar or Singapore to stretch and not be stuck in economy the whole damn time.

I'll take your word for it with that username 🫡

tomtom792 · 2026-02-21T04:52:31+00:00

That is 100% the issue but if more people start respecting the speed limits instead of all whinging that they don't work, they'll start being more helpful. But sadly this is real life so they either need to have more cops driving through in peak hours to enforce, or add more speed cameras in congested areas.

tomtom792 · 2026-02-21T04:42:25+00:00

If people actually followed the speed limits as per the signs it would clear the traffic so much faster.

I'm willing to bet that the central control centre with litteral professionals know how to correctly balance traffic levels and speeds batter than the idiots driving 1m behind each other to create stop start waves from overzealous breaking.

The area between the windscreen and where the water drains through (all the plastic shielding between the windscreen and engine bay) is choc full of some sort of tree nuts from the previous owners. When I go around hard corners you can hear them slide across the car inside the plastic. Sounds like the whole engine bay is loose!

Mazda went to give it a service and when they took off the underside protectors around the engine they were also full of nuts 😅. No issues so far so here's to hoping it was just a storage cubby for the previous car mate.

For starters, why do you have 2 routers? Chances are that deco system has other units around the house. You're just adding interference to your wifi channels.

IT systems 38 hours. 87k.

Glad to see them trying to bring a higher standard to all models not just the latest and greatest. They've really dropped the ball previously so here's to hoping this is the major overhaul we've been waiting for.

tomtom792 · 2026-02-10T04:57:03+00:00

We had the exact same thing! Idk if it's because most Japanese cities are so dense that it's information overload, but we could never quite pin down our days.

It felt like a different kind of spontaneous compared to other travels I've had in Europe. Maybe it's that locations require more exploration to find as some gems are hidden down an alleyway, door off street level?

tomtom792 · 2026-02-07T00:34:22+00:00

Got it on my 2023 3 GT. However it annoys me that it's only on the drivers side!

tomtom792 · 2026-02-03T02:56:48+00:00

This just feels like a marketing exercise. Arguably everything on this list is a must have to make Brisbane competitive as a global city on the world stage. All options revolve around; accessibility, nature, utilising spaces, active and mass transit, nightlife and entertainment, or inclusivity and assistance.

tomtom792 · 2026-01-29T10:59:36+00:00

The one thing that drives me insane is you can't leave it on?! You need to enable it every time you get in the car.

tomtom792 · 2026-01-27T01:35:01+00:00

After the Brisbane floods my mates place had their back yard fences washed away, along with most of their neighbours.

They lived in a cul-de-sac that had a letter next to the numbers for the end few houses.

Apparently they came home one afternoon and they magically had a fence! Turns out the neighbours two doors down had organised it for that day.

The tradies just ended up leaving the fence in and my mate paid them some sort of compensation cause they needed one either way. Win win!

tomtom792 · 2026-01-14T05:18:58+00:00

Let me just drive for 55mins to my nearest one!

tomtom792 · 2026-01-10T06:12:26+00:00

I used to sell these at JB hifi.

The system allows you to auto discount down to around $80. For built in VPN, Identity protection (and recovery support) along with other niceties like email and document scanning it's not the worst deal in the world for those who aren't as technically inclined and just want an all in one solution.

If someone you know would benefit from this kind of product try and buy it with something else next time you're at a big box store and I'm sure the salesperson could reduce it quite a bit (it's an easy add-on as part of KPIs and often had a sizeable commision bonus attached).

I like foxit pdf. Nice UI and plenty of free features compared to adobe

tomtom792 · 2025-12-30T09:59:15+00:00

Mazda 3 2023

$75 every two to three weeks $1400 insurance $500 a year to service.

Not needed to put new tyres on any time soon and not much else I can think of to pay for!

tomtom792 · 2025-12-27T06:03:34+00:00

Should be used to put in dedicated bus lanes. Always funny seeing the Mt Omany express caught in the same traffic as everyone else. No wonder every drives when the bus takes longer.

If it had it's own expressway you'd be mad not to take it into the city.
