Brazil is much over rated.

and dangerous...

and a bloody bloody long flight(s)

for north brazil will be:

Melb -> syd

Syd -> santiago chile

santiago -> brasilia

brasilia -> mine..

count on 2 days at least.

ouch, the adventure sounds fun, but it will probably wear off after a couple of months..

considering Ill be living on the mine site, its not like I can do tourist things on the weekend.

doesn't 28 on mean you don't have a weekend anyway

lol they're letting you apply the new policy proactively?

I lose 2 of the 12 weeks that I have already used up as secondary carers leave

it is to be applied once the mother's leave has finished, so sept/oct/nov

doesn't 28 on mean you don't have a weekend anyway

yeah what I meant is that I don't have any time to experience the country so the appeal of the destination is mute.

The difference would be the commute time as pointed out.

yeah I got pinned @ ~135 in a 100 on the way back from the first buller cruise and he dropped it down to 19 over or something so I wouldn't lose my license.

It was just an overtake move :/

Country cops FTW!

Fk country cops

Whenever I get pulled over by them they make a big thing about me being from the "city". We don't take kindly to people like you fkin up our peaceful little town blah blah

How dare I cross over double lines to park at 2am with no one in sight

FARKEN LOL

1st day back at work after 8 weeks off paid and a new policy is introduced that new dad's get 12 weeks paid.

looks like i'll be having more time at home!!!

Heard about this on Q and A lastnight...which was a disgusting feminist fest by the way...featuring an all female panel to make a point about female CEOs. Could have played a drinking game with the irrational contradictions that flowed through. Some of these idiots actually believe that females have a glass ceiling in industries where more managers are men...but in industries where there are more females in management, that's just because it's a "female dominant industry". I wanted to shove Lego bricks down their throats.

Anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent there. Lucky you, Hamish.

Do employers HAVE to pay extra for working a public holiday (yesterday?) mrs worked it and now shes being told shes just getting paid normal rates.. (a casual if that makes any difference)

I was under the impression that employers had to at least pay time and a half??

Dunno about that, but they can't force someone to work on a public holiday

I thought organisations did it because it was hard to get casuals to work on them with normal rates

depending on your contract they can.

When I was help desk at telstra you could not say didn't want to work a public holiday, they would laugh at you. the helpdesk must go on.

prob same for nursing and such.

yeah, thing is they asked if anyone wanted to work it so it wasn't 'forced'

nek minit not paying any extra (She does like insurance claim stuff for a large insurance company)

I am required to work all public holidays. China doesn't stop because its Easter/Christmas.

No additional pay as its part of the contract.

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
