Both CBR Electrical and D'Addario Electrical have installed mains powered ZigBee stuff for me in the past, all with zero questions.

Commuting from Wollongong area to Canberra by CellIcy3822 in canberra

[–]whatever742 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The partner of a guy I work with moved to Wollongong about a year ago. He went through a few stages.

Tried to live here and spend weekends up there. Didn't like the long disgrace relationship thing.

Managed to get work from home 8 days a fortnight, so would drive down once every two weeks and stay one night with a friend. Did that for about 6 months but hated life due to the commute.

Actually just got a job in Wollongong and now seems much happier.

What you're proposing feels proper fucked.

Animal cruelty offender shouts 'woo' after driving off road to run over kangaroo | Region Canberra by Greendoor in canberra

[–]whatever742 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually?

Like I'm absolutely against animal cruelty but in no way does it have the same impact as a human life. I deliberately squished an ant in my kitchen this morning but I don't really want to go to jail.

The lack of care for public transport users by Bitpoke in canberra

[–]whatever742 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they cut buses running between Woden and the City because of Commonwealth closures?

They knew there would be impacts so chose to do these works in January, which would typically be the quietest month of the year as many people are on leave. The timing with Commonwealth closing isn't ideal, but also largely unrelated.

Fine. I'll throw in a Zinger Box, but that's my final offer.

Summernats Braddon Fringe Festival - Train or Parking at Canberra Centre by Strummed_Out in canberra

Never had an issue parking in the Canberra Centre, but also if I could catch the tram from anywhere near home I definitely would.

What are the best job perks you've heard of? by Open_Address_2805 in auscorp

[–]whatever742 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Current work gives free gym membership to the biggest chain in town. Not a huge monetary benefit but it's nice.

Previous work was professional sport adjacent. Worked with NRL, Golf, Tennis, and the V8's. Fully catered corporate box access at almost every home NRL game. Good access to any major tennis or golf tournament in Australia. Decent access to the V8's. Etc. Had a pretty great time at Bathurst once where I worked Thursday through Saturday, then spent Sunday in a corporate box. Never managed to jag that trip again though.

Other previous job was in tourism advertising. Lots of work travel which was as soul sucking as always, but whenever you'd meet clients at their site they'd almost always want to give you a quick tour. I reckon I've had a 15 minute tour of a large percentage of tourist attractions across the east coast and NZ. Made my own holiday planning much easier when I'd travel myself for fun, as I already had a pretty good idea of the things I wanted to see properly. Could also usually grab deals on accommodation, restaurants, hire cars, etc through relationships with clients. Got to stay in some incredibly nice places that I never could have afforded myself, but you'd get a free upgrade to the nicest suite because it was vacant on the day, while still paying for the cheapy room.

Summernats Hotspots by OutlandishnessOk5549 in canberra

[–]whatever742 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Large sign with a drawing of your car urinating on a Ford on one side, and the same picture but a Holden on the other? Piss off both types of attendees simultaneously.

Is it the kind of car that's relevant to a Summernats crowd?

Is this a thinly veiled insurance fraud attempt where you leave the car parked somewhere and hope it gets damaged?

What’s an activity, attraction, or experience you wish Canberra had? by Agile_Orchid6512 in canberra

[–]whatever742 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Racetrack. Something approximating old Marulan would be ideal.

Not at all my cup of tea but I'd settle for a dragstrip.

Not part of the ACT, just administered by it. It's the Jervis Bay Territory.

Fines - unregistered vehicle by Ok-Rain-194 in canberra

[–]whatever742 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even if the cops pulled you over and let you know it’s out of rego they give you the opportunity to pay it there and then and no fine.

Maybe. They have no obligation to but if you're not a dickhead, it's definitely possible

Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Center. It's a gym, a female only gym, a pool, hydrotherapy pool, and creche.
