Don't know why you got negged. It's actually a very important question. In answer to your question, it normally depends on if it's a…

Thanks Scotty and team. Fantastic work as usual.

You're absolutely right that tolls are BS. What it actually highlights is that successive governments have not allowed the transport…

We have an older model front loader Bosch (mid range, purchased about 5 years ago) and we noticed how super quiet it was on day one. For…

Not sure what you mean by 'poor visibility', but state governments don't generally post motorway speeds higher than that the road geometry…

This is precisely the reason why Warren Buffet has been reserving his cash in the last year or so rather than invest it. The 1% probably…

I couldn't agree more. My Rancillio Sylvia and Rocky grinder are built like a tank! Been using them for over 10 years and Miss Sylvia is…

The 50 cent brigade is strong on this one!

Good example of 'whataboutism'. Nothing to see over here, look over there. It's just so much easier than a cogent argument or some cordial…

Is the 60 hour requirement purely for attending courses? Is that just a part of your total professional development requirements? By…

You're quite right, depends on where and what circumstances. There are minor differences in cost between the actual pole types (rigid, slip…

I don't give a stuff how it all started. The fact still remains that Abbott's mob promised us yearly surpluses 6 years ago. I don't…

Not only did they tout we were getting a surplus, the touted we were going to get it year on year, and that was many moons ago in 2013! For…

Another Silvia owner here. Ours is about 10 years old and still going strong. Never had it professionally serviced as nothing has gone…

Thank you for introducing me to that website. And before anyone cracks a joke, I obviously didn't mean youtube!

I'm in a similar boat looking to go to Europe next year using my QFF points. For getting the most bang for buck, the consistent advice I…

[@arescarti42](/comment/6187949/redir): It's a double whammy. It's true that the economy has changed since the 80's. But there was also…

[@Lv80](/comment/6184122/redir): Unfortunately we live in a society where the planners and engineers are controlled and silenced by the…

Agreed, but be mindful that their economic decline is not necessarily a result of investment in infrastructure. On the contrary, their…

Exactly. And to add to your comment, the roads that allow buses on them are limited anyway. Standard buses can't physically fit or…

[@pegaxs](/comment/6178361/redir): I don't know how road authorities decided to come up with their 2-3 sec rules of thumb. But you are…

Nice itinerary, given the no. of days you have. Off the top of my head, I just have a couple of suggestions: Just north of Huka Falls they…

[@fossilfuel](/comment/6167058/redir): Your suggestions were my first thoughts as well. I've regularly worked with various surveyors and…

Nice find!

Short answer, yes. I've done this with a few credit cards.

I recently flew out of Brisbane airport, claiming a new iPhone through TRS. We had an early flight and the TRS service area was not being…

Good value. I have the same one and I also recommend it. My only regret is not clear coating the shelves so that they are easier to wipe…

I love the Rockets. They are gorgeous machines to look at even if you don't make coffee with them! Been waiting for a deal on them for the…

Couldn't agree more! I also own a DJI Spark and they're fairly easy to get used to. The video quality goes up to 1080p at 30fps, which is…

Exactly. No context provided. Potentially, OP meant a longitudinal swale drain. This can be common in some outer suburbs, but will usually…
