I love this, it’s my favourite so far

Rant was fantastic, and I also agree wholeheartedly with everything everyone says about Guts.

Electronic Funds Transfer?

Like the commenter below said, Streamio is the answer. We use Streamio with Torrentio plug in running on a cheap windows PC and its been very good so far.

Australia has 20 days annual leave for full time employees mandated by law, and it carries over year on year so you can build up a significant chunk of time if you work somewhere for a long time. Also those hours belong to you, not the company, so you get it paid out if you quit.

We also have a Long Service Leave program where if you work somewhere for 7 year you get roughly a week off for every year of employment with a company, it does vary slightly state by state.
The construction industry has made an arrangment that as long as you are working construction in some way, your long service leave entitlement carry over between employers and jobs.

Lot of companies also add carers leave on top of this, which may not carry over year on year, and sick leave can be fairly variable between everywhere I’ve ever worked has been pretty casual about it, if you call in sick a day here or there then they don’t hassle you, but for longer periods you might need a doctor’s certificate.

It’s pretty good.

Fuck yeaaaaah Garbage Time!

Brad’s definitely the kind of extrovert host who takes other interesting professionals and lifts the energy up to very entertaining affect, I used to watch everything BA put out, they were a great channel.

Can you clarify for the laymen in the room what you mean by Mechanical Systems?

I use earplugs in my helmet every day, I used Shure se215 for a long time as they were the slimmest product I could find, now I’m using Plugfones, which are essentially a silicon earplug with a transducer, they block out all noise with fairly good sound quality.

Tipper drivers are a whole different breed, and the hardcore roadrager driving you see from them is driven by economics cos they mostly get paid by the load not the hours.

This is an amazing rundown of the significant differences, and more importantly, similarities between these 2 generation, I think you did a really good job of explaining it clearly, and I found it very illuminating, thank you.

What does 10-4 really mean then?

The Sword are great.

I had this one in my head for yeaaaaars and I’m so glad I can start from scratch here in the fediverse.

Just dropping in to say I noticed your 1984 reference, and appreciated it especially in the context of this particular discussion.

Interested, so I went to have a look.

Holy shit, it’s…not great.
