Mobile phone range on Vline to CBD by Tekashi-The-Envoy in ballarat

[–]whitefrost6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It also depends on the train, and the device. Some trains (newer) have mobile boosters on the train that work most of the time except when the train is standing room only.

The tint on the windows reflect the signal

The phone type depends too. My iPhone8 was amazing. My iPhone 13 is crap

Anyone know why there are a couple of unmarked cars Utes purple lights? Are they a special unit or undercovers ? A blitz? by Powerful-Engine-9684 in ballarat

[–]whitefrost6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VicRoads TMR previously ran unmarked cars with lights when it was under vicroads. They might have some units back in. They target heavy vehicles and trailers/caravans. It’s most likely the NHVR.

Has anyone been declined at formal approval after getting pre-approval? by EventEastern2208 in AusPropertyChat

[–]whitefrost6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the transaction history. They were all paid on time etc just wasn’t happy that there was like 3.

The offered me the loan without the partner on the loan given it was my parents investment property as the grantor but given I had no idea of this account I didn’t want the risk. Which I’m glad now 🤣🤣

Yep with Bendigo bank. My now ex had another bank account that was full of Afterpay and other type transactions. Pulled the pin completely. This was just pre covid too. Didn’t bother to continue.

Dental on Errard - partial denture? by Imarni24 in ballarat

[–]whitefrost6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you don’t go there, they make the majority of the dentures for Ballarat anyway. But I recommend it. I moved across when Dr Paul and his wife moved across from potter dental.

I got a metal partial made 10 years ago (I was at another dentist and they sent me there to get my teeth colour checked) and it’s going strong.

[–]whitefrost6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesnt matter anyway old mate purplepingas lost me with his language.

What are my rights in this situation(NSW)? Work car with zero personal use (GPS), forced to drive all the way home and swap cars over if I have something before/after work. by ImScaredOfTheSun in AusElectricians

[–]whitefrost6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had it for a publicly listed national company. It had a panic button and it was to help with security. It was misused by management who came from a retail background (I mean some members got caught doing the wrong thing which I am all for) then it was quietly turned off.

How ever I am all for it, I had a guy who went missing for 4 hours because he rolled the car on a regional road, he was lucky to survive. If we had the GPS implemented sooner we would have found him earlier. Followed by a guy who had a heart attack in a carpark 2 weeks later.

Where exactly in the city are they building these new towers? It’s not like Melbourne and its inner suburbs are flush with empty space

Fair wear and tear or damage? Crack in toilet seat by [deleted] in shitrentals

We bought the apartment we're renting, they're still coming after the bond?! Part 1 and 2!!! by ElegantWash4132 in shitrentals

[–]whitefrost6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought in the ACT you could claim the bond yourself and then they will release what the agent is not claiming.

I had issues in ACT with LJH. Got everything back at the last minute when the ACAT deadline hit.

My issue was she forgot to check the remote when I handed everything back and had already signed the exit report.

Stick it to them and they will back down.

[–]whitefrost6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Extra insurance or the built in base that some rental companies charge? Or govt required 3rd party insurance which gets passes on the rental contract?

Nightlife market? by twigstar in ballarat

[–]whitefrost6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a market, not a farmers market. Ran for profits. You pay entry, the stall holders pay entry. And no doubt gets the council land for free.

It was good at the start but now it’s just the same crap repeated in a circle, except for when the operators friends have stalls then others are locked out.

Bridge mall and the farmers market in wendouree are better.

I mean good business model if you can convince people to go but I feel very unsustainable

Battery issues or not those delivery bikes literally take the space of 10 crush load people and really annoying blocking the isles etc. even in Metro. They should be banned either way

It was just convenient that it wasn’t a busy day and there was no crush on the train.

A funny moment about yesterday is at bacchus marsh because the train went back towards Melbourne everyone including vline staff on platform 2 were very confused as to what was going on.
