Variable delay for points/SC credits to appear in app after domestic flights

So I flew to Sydney from Melbourne on Monday morning and the points/SC credits appeared around an hour after landing, which is fairly commonplace from my experience. I then flew home yesterday evening from Sydney back to Melbourne and, a full 24 hours later, the points/SC credits haven't come through yet. I know the app says it can take "up to six weeks (max) for points to appear", but I don't get why one flight would show points within an hour and another hasn't shown up a day later. Generally, I've found points/SC credits show up around an hour or so after landing. What's the trigger for points and SC credits to flow to Veloicty members? Genuinely curious what the variability is caused by.

Toot... but why?

I've recently travelled to Perth and Sydney and realised trains in Victoria toot their horns when they move off from a station, move from a formerly red signal, on approach to a level crossing, at the level crossing, when approaching a pedestrian crossing and when at the start of a platform when not stopping at that station. Suffice to say, they toot for a lot. Meanwhile in Perth, it's one toot at a level crossing and that's that. Sydney trains seem to be mute, but I didn't leave the city, so didn't come to a level crossing and can't say if they toot then.

So, why are trains in Victoria (Metro and Vline alike) so verbose compared to my WA and NSW experience?

Cleaning F&P dish drawer diaphragm lid seal - how?

Hi folks, just wondering how people clean the rubber lip that goes around the edge of the diaphragm lid on their dish drawers. When the drawer is extended, I can access the front edge of it by reaching in and up, and as I slide the drawer in with my arm in it, I can get to about halfway down the sides. But obviously, to get to the back of the lid, the drawer has to be closed, at which point leaving my arm in there ceases to be an option. How does everyone actually clean this part?

For those wondering what the hell I am talking about, the diaphragm lid ia a feature unique to drawer styled dishwashers. When the drawer is closed and the units starts up, the lid drops down and forms a seal around the top edge of the drawer to stop water escaping out of the drawer during the cycle. As this seal has a rubber edge, like the rest of the dishwasher, it eventually ends up coating in gunk and needs to be cleaned to maintain the seal - plus it can get pretty gross if not cleaned.

Do the drawers actually slide all the way out like a kitchen cabinet drawer? Mine is the Fisher & Paykel dd60dcx7 model (series 7 I believe).
