Remember Train Work is not Private Work

Not sure who Nick an Aina are, but apparently you need to make a better role description for the NZ structural engineers...

Regards, guy in front of me on the train this morning at Central station in Brisbane

Anyone in QLD apply in April and heard back yet?

Applied April 1st and did my Post Office photoshoot on the 2nd, website originally said about 15 weeks, so was wondering if anyone from around the same time had received an email yet? Currently 1 day off 18 weeks

Kikuyu in my Couch

Couch has really thinned out whilst Kikuyu has thrived these past couple of months (Brisbane), come Spring time I was planning to scalp, top dress and throw down some Blue Couch seeds. Will I just be wasting my time and money with the Kikuyu starting to come through? Am I better off digging out as much of the Kikuyu as possible first? Should I go with the plan and just poison the Kikuyu as it comes?

Apparently Couch can thrive at shorter heights of cuts than Kikuyu, so maybe that could help manage it?

Re-Enrolling?

Recently applied to enroll in a course online, but after I completed my application I noticed my course I withdrew from 3 years ago still has the option to schedule and enroll in the units? Is it actually still available, or is this a bug in the system?

Experiences poisoning entire lawn with selective herbicides?

Up until now I would typically just spot spray RoundUp, but a bit nervous to spray the entire lawn with a herbicide even though it says it will only target the broad leaf grasses and weeds.

My lawn is 90% Blue Couch, with Kikuyu and various weeds making up the other 10%. Application rate says 15ml into 4L of water, to then apply to 10m2 of lawn.

Just wondering if anyone else has used this particular product before and if I should instead mix at a higher concentrate and just spot spray like I used to?

Span test for comments sections

A fun one to test if you work on an application that allows user inputs, whether in comments, headings or whatever is: <span style="font-size: 240px; color: #C40000;">BIG BIG TEXT</span>

Application Rejections

Currently about 2 weeks out from the original time frame given when I first applied. If applications are rejected do you typically hear back well before the time frame, or are decision processes rather short and therefore most of the waiting is just backlog and you won't hear back about approval or rejection until the 15 week mark?

Wheel Repairs in Brisbane

Aside from surface damage, I need a place that can fixed buckled wheels and sensors in Brisbane. Preferably north side but the only place I can find at the moment is in the Gold Coast, everyone else appears to only sell wheels or just do the surface scratches, so whilst ideal I cannot afford to be picky aha

Choosing components and context

https://preview.redd.it/lqogfola9d6h1.jpg?width=3504&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0758473d2e398342a2923407e920966bb891207

Workplaces may vary slightly in some of these decisions, but here is a rough breakdown for how we choose which components to use. I see a lot of juniors using drop downs for 2 options and other minor things that are very easy to pick up on, so hopefully this helps as a guideline to follow if it is something you struggle with

Land and Build Costs

To me this seems like the biggest barrier for new builds. In 2021 I purchased a 500m2 block for $310k and had a large single story 4 bed, 2 bath, 3 entertainment areas build for $380k. Nowadays it looks like you would struggle to find 500m2 of land for close to that total price.

$300k builds now look like $450k and $600k up to over $800k just for building alone. So it is all well and good to encourage investors to buy/build new, but with current build times no longer being 3 to 6 months, I think this is going to be a huge blocker.

ELI5 - I earn either $205k or $185k depending if Super counts or not. The wife is harder to track being self employed, but she earns between $45k to $60k a year. Our private health costs $305 a month, does what we save on the Medicare Levi actually amount to more then the $3660 a year we spend on private health?
