Being in a completely pointless lecture where they are discussing the effect of Technology and Engineering on Indigenous people....
Advancements in technology took away jobs from them - well no shit, advancements take away from every culture as tasks are streamlined and don't require manual handling or human input - not just them.
I really don't get what is with all the pussy footing around indigenous people. I was driving yesterday and a pleasant exchange was occurring between some indigenous people outside of a house in Nollamara where as soon as I approached in my vehicle, the intoxicated muppet decided to lunge at my car and scream obscenities at me.
It boggles the mind.

Similar thing happened with one of my dogs a couple of months back, lost all feeling in one back leg and was hobbling around on other 3. Wasn't sure if it was an infection or something paralysing her, condition ended up deteorating pretty quickly within a few days. Wouldn't eat, struggled to move, had little seizures/fits and eventually was put to sleep. Hope you have better luck than I did mate!

Shitty manufacturing.
Snapped a M5 socket cap bolt off inside the pivot axle collet on my bike whilst giving the suspension linkages an overhaul. Find out they are just shitty A2-50 bolts. Will be replacing them all with A4-80 or 12.9 grade high tensile (if I can find stainless?)
But now I'm left with a pivot axle that is going to suck getting the bolt out from being the threaded bit that's stuck has loctite on it...and I highly doubt my LBS will stock pivot axles (fuck Perth!)
Also found a 7900-2RS bearing that has the outer race lip that holds the dust cap on has sheared off somehow and so the dust cap does fuck all except float around and let shit in.

Centre drill the bolt then place the axle in your oven on around 90deg for a few minutes. The loctite will release and the bolt should be fairly easy to remove

2RS is 2 rubber seals, but their is generally 3 different types of rubber seals in deep groove ball bearings, full contact, light contact and non contact.
Full contact has more drag, but the best sealing
Non contact had no seal drag, but has a path for contaminents to enter
Light contact has less drag and still makes contact with both inner and outer race, but doesnt seal as well as a full contact.
2RZ (or ZZ, 2ZR etc. depending on manufacturer) is a metal shield and has a larger gap than a non contact seal.

I know, they messed up with that when they hit panic mode and did a voluntary round circa GFC peak panic period.

Also, if the better employees feel that way, they (management) really should have learnt from their mistakes a few years ago by not making them feel loved :P If they are looking at leaving, missing out on a redundancy will motivate them even more, its how alot of people here are thinking lol

I know this incident got discussed at length last year. The mention of her "slow speed" fails to stipulate whether she was coming out of a turning lane, or accelerating slowly/steadily through the intersection coming off a green light, any myriad of possibilities and reasons for the slow speed. Terrible and pointless article in my opinion, but I am biased because I have taught the poor daughter for the past two years and to see this get dragged out and splashed all over the media again right in the middle of her TER exams breaks my heart. Obviously the media aren't going to be aware of that, just bad timing unfortunately. On a more positive note, the daughter is probably the strongest person I have ever met.

The speed limits are absolutely fucked and not appropriate for the roads. Just recently the media/police jumped onto the 60km/h sections of the Mitchell Fwy saying thousands of motorists are speeding through there everyday. Fixed speed camera catch idiot after idiot and mobile units parked behind bushes at the bottom of a hill in 60km/h zones would be making a killing. Little to no crashes in the areas. Speed limits are too low and people are safely traveling the areas at greater speeds all the time.
Also seems like bullshit when the media come out and say there has been "x" amount of road deaths this season and that is an "x" amount increase on last season. How much has the driving population of Perth increased in this time and what is the driving population / fatal crash percentage would be the way to look at it.
Damo 69
14-11-2013, 12:16 PM
The 60kmh through the freeway is due to being construction work, however I bet $100 Abigroup said “we have allowed to set up our traffic management once” and not putting it up and down as required therefore you will often drive past a section where no work is taking place.

Large sections of the fwy being worked on have concrete barriers along it. When the fwy opens and road work stops there will be a concrete barrier along it.

No disputing that at all. However in order for braking distances to be greatly shortened, you need to be alert in combination with "drop 5". Unfortunately, many of Perth's drivers and the elderly just aren't! A greater reaction time would eat up half the braking distance :p
If someone thinks they're being safe by doing (what they think is) 75 in an 80 zone, but realistically they're doing 68 (due to speedo discrepancy... then really how safe is doing 12kmh under the limit? It's going to cause all sorts of road rage and risky actions by impatient road users behind them. I personally don't see what is so hard about staying alert and doing the speed limit. If everyone did that there would be little need to drop 5. Except in the pissing rain with lowered visibility.

Drive to the conditions. If people are driving like idiots, book them. Tailgating, excessive speed, erratic driving, pissy driving, slow driving, swerving in and out of lanes, not merging correctly etc. that is putting people at risk or affecting traffic flow should be the focus but it doesn't make enough easy money. Would make driving much simpler and easier, traffic would flow better and probably less accidents with people paying attention.
Pinging people for driving 66 in a 60 zone on a empty road in good conditions or 125 on the open road up to Kalbarri is not saving lives. It's just easy money.

I was in Queensland a few weeks back, they had roadworks along the freeways too. People actually slowed down, because right at the start of the reduced speed section is a police car just sitting there with its lights on. If there's a longer section of roadworks, they might have another one along at some point too. They do this cos a few years back some pingpingpingping plowed hit and killed a road worker.
Every now and then you hear about some shortage of police in WA, which could explain why they don't do this here. The only time I know of that police have sat on the side of the road here for a certain reason was next to or near speed cameras during their operational strike. See the pattern forming? Revenue. Police are officers of the peace first and foremost, nailing people for exceeding a speed limit by about 10kph on a road more than capable of taking it seems to be more important than ensuring people's safety or stopping actual crimes where people can be convicted. But that's what's gonna happen if they keep a shortage by focusing on traffic duties to make the state money

It is definitely all about revenue. There was a truck accident fwy north a couple of years back where traffic had to go down to one lane, exit before hepburn I think. What was being set up far enough from the end of the bottle neck before the accident had even been looked at being cleaned up? A speed camera to catch the people that accelerated a bit to eagerly after being stuck bumper to bumper for an hour or two.
Given the general stupidy of the larger populous (irrelevent of your automotive preferences, be it commuter or eunthusiast), and the fact that most beaurocratic pen pushers are career assessors without legitimate experience, the manner in which our roads are governed makes a lot of sense.

When I was in the USA their freeway limit was 110, I sat at about 120 and was the slowest person on the road. I didn't see any speed cameras and several cops cruised past me at around 130, no fucks were given by them. Funny thing was the freeways even though packed far worse than here flowed like there was no cars.
Also I saw no accidents. Perth is an example of over enforcement causing more problems.

Perth just needs to lift the limits to suit the roads and educate drivers to comply with the speed limits. stop being pussies and use their right foot.
I really want to get hold of that vehicle at the tunnel entries with the cushioned bumper for pushing cars and hit every car that touches its brake on the freeway. Absolutely gives me the shits seeing anyone braking as there isnt a set of lights for 10's of km's just open road!

Regardless of what your speedo reads - if you're doing 5k less it does actually make a big difference.
How?
If you hit someone at 60km/hr and hit them at 55km/hr - pretty sure the person would still be in a load of pain. I understand slower speed means less braking distance, but to a driver being inattentive it makes no difference.
Effective braking should be taught and thus they should ditch that pointless Hazard Perception Test and make the P Plate test a mandatory DTEC course or the like - gravel driving, understeer and oversteer loss of control, threshold braking, awareness on the road - all valuable tools that are more beneficial than a 20min HPT.
Also, education. The health classes we had were utterly pointless, start the training then in High School within this class or similar - generally you're already exposed to CPR at this point; so education about roads and driving, particularly in emergency situations and acting accordingly to emergency vehicles coming towards you, will be far more beneficial and actually put the use of alcohol and drugs into perspective instead of kids not giving a shit.

at the end of the day it comes down to car quality and build. Should be similar to other places that try get older cars off the road and encourage the purchases of newer safer vehicles (scrappage program). A lot of us are rolling round in vehicles with 4,6 piston calipers where 5km/h still makes a difference but if you mock a vehicle like that up against a single or dual sliding caliper 80's, 90's vehicle the results in braking distance would be phenomenal.
I myself when there is some sort of abrupt stop in traffic ahead I usually look in the rear mirror and then apply brakes slighty more than I have to so if the person behind is going to rear end me I've actually left extra room in front of my vehicle to move foward to potentially save my car

Yes, hence I said it comes down to threshold and effective braking.
Slamming your brakes and hoping for the best is idiotic, and that is where 5km/hr makes a massive difference.
The AHG/RAC DTEC course showed this to perfection - threshold braking halved the stopping distance at 60km/hr compared to slamming brakes. So realistically 5km/hr or not will make fuck all difference if you brake effectively. Those types of media videos are scare tactics rather than teaching mechanisms, and if anything, stupid.
800-1000m stopping distance doesn't count when you're doing a top speed run. We're talking differences on our roads, not 200km/hr + on an open stretch.
At the end of the day - driver inattentiveness and complacency is more the issue than anything else. Again, 20-30km/hr UNDER the limit is more dangerous than 5km/hr over in peak traffic situations like the freeway, a vast difference between vehicle speeds on the same stretch of road is an issue. Dropping 5 won't help the person playing with the radio, shaving, putting on a tie, playing with their phone, zoning out etc.
The campaigns shouldn't be about slowing down anyway, it should be about attentiveness (applause to RAC for their latest adverts, an attention controlled car) - most of us drive well maintained and modified cars often modifying the standard equipment for higher spec aftermarket equipment - yet are targeted for doing so. I'd rather be on the road with well modified cars than John Doe in his 1994 Commodore that started it's life as a V6 and had an engine swap to a V8 with nothing else altered to compensate for the increase in power or Jane Doe in her Echo driving at 80 km/hr in the right hand lane on the freeway.
Edit: I also applaud areas of Europe having been on some roads there with vehicles going 200km/hr plus, the drive attentiveness I witnessed is far superior.

Its not about your stopping power, it's the distance you cover and your reaction time to make the brakes happen. When was the last time you got 0.000 at the drags? with anticipation and a christmas tree....
In real time, when you're not prepared, the average person's reaction time is in excess of 1 second and in a 60 zone thats almost 20m of non braking.
The AHG/RAC DTEC course showed this to perfection - threshold braking halved the stopping distance at 60km/hr compared to slamming brakes. So realistically 5km/hr or not will make fuck all difference if you brake effectively.
800-1000m stopping distance doesn't count when you're doing a top speed run. We're talking differences on our roads, not 200km/hr + on an open stretch.
Jane Doe in her Echo driving at 80 km/hr in the right hand lane on the freeway.
Edit: I also applaud areas of Europe having been on some roads there with vehicles going 200km/hr plus, the drive attentiveness I witnessed is far superior.
How many 200km/h crash victims in Europe actually walk away? not sure if you're aware even Germany's high speed highways may be losing that privilege in the near future.
AHG show you this in a controlled environment where you anticipate this. I bet you in real time, if your car has ABS, the ABS is flat strap without you even knowing it.
The 800m is relevant when you consider how velocity works.... engineers here can help me out (too long since i've done the calculation) but Velocity = speed times Mass Squared, a 1500kg car at impact speed makes a massive difference.
The law lets Jane Doe do 80km/h on the freeway. The law doesn't let you do 110km/h. We just got to suck it up because it's the nature of the beast.
I know where were all coming from as we drive high powered cars that we take a lot of pride in. End of the day where a minority on the scheme of things. If I had it my way I'd have it like the NT do (next year they go back to unrestricted speed limit like in the old days) - flat strap!
We all do wrong, ffs, where on here. I know someday I'll get penalised for driving a high powered car, I accept that, every time I do a 8450 rpm gear change I know what the consequences are - it's the nature of the beast and at the end of the day no one says we got to speed.
Not having a go at anyone but at the end of the day what do we do? campaign against the majority, come up with a plan where we as the minority has some influence in the pollies decisions....
My rant over.... :eek:

14-11-2013, 09:37 PM
If you're attentive, no reason to not be prepared. That driver training course does wonders in this area from personal experience - hence I was saying this test should be mandatory for P Plate drivers, they'd have a better understanding on the road and it would actually help create more attentive and better drivers on our roads, maybe this could help alter the trend we're seeing.
I realise a crash at 200km/hr means you won't be walking away, but I see that as the risk you take travelling at that speed. Even if our limits were to be pushed up to 130km/hr, I can only imagine the mayhem this would cause because people already have no idea what they're doing, imagine them trying to figure out what to do at 130km/hr. :-/ I can only imagine Jane Doe still doing 80km/hr with this limit and the issues it would cause let alone how dangerous it would be. The reality is, if the limit was raised I think it would benefit the minority who are competent drivers in the short term. The long term benefits wouldn't be noticed until the rest of Perth drivers caught up and were capable of being competent behind the wheel at higher speeds.
I realise that 5km/hr counts if you're looking at the force achieved in the event of a crash - 5km/hr counts in my Hilux for sure, it's a brick on wheels. In a more modern car, I don't think it is as much of an issue.
Either way, when will things change? Probably never haha

We all know it's the easiest thing for anyone whose job it is to reduce the road toll to pursue with a vengeance, and yet impossible to correlate to actual statistical data.

The 800m is relevant when you consider how velocity works.... engineers here can help me out (too long since i've done the calculation) but Velocity = speed times Mass Squared, a 1500kg car at impact speed makes a massive difference.
Velocity is a vector so basically it's just speed with a direction. you may be thinking of Kinetic energy ( = 1/2 m*v^2 ) or momentum (m*v) ??
always subscribed to the 5km/h means fuck all train but this is in line with units I currently take at uni so interested to check the maths
from a physics/eng point of view you probably want to look at the work-energy principle so force * stopping distance (i.e work) = - 1/2 m*(v1-v2)^2
so with a 1500kg car and assuming constant stopping distance of 1m a rough calculation yields a force of about 208,300 N at 60k's and 175,000 N at 55k's .... so 5km/h makes ~33,300 N difference in the force of the crash
so 10% increase in speed results in approx 20% greater impact force....
can also apply to braking distance - work required to stop the car will be the same but force will be (relatively) fixed and dependent on the actual cars brakes so to provide the necessary work stopping distance must increase.

well aware of that. is it still my fault of said blinkers was already on before he even entered the roundabout? from my understanding you indicate left only upon reaching the exit (ie. passenger doors lines up with the exit before the one you are exiting out of). if one indicates left upon approaching a roundabout it is pretty much understood that said user is going to turn off at the first exit available to them.

Your Mum must have worked at the same place as one of my fiancee's customers. He rings Stefan Jewellers today asking if he can cancel his order for a custom made $19,000 engagement ring. It was ordered a month ago with a $3,500 deposit and the cheeky pingpingpingping expected his deposit back. The $3,500 wouldn't even cover the materials ordered in for the job. Mining is a volatile industry, spend with caution.

Returned to a car full of girls telling me that some lowlife pingpingpingpings in an old beat up Magna had spat on my car. Sure enough, big loogie on the passenger window.

Driving to the shops and into the distance I see a blonde with shorts so small her ass cheeks are poking out and a tiny tube top barely containing some gravity defying boobs. I whip my cock out and start beating the shit out of it but as I get closer I begin to realise this woman is in fact a girl probably fresh into her teens and I think what the fuck are parents thinking letting young girls dress like this? I continue to masturbate but no longer feel good about myself and it kinda ruined my trip to the shops.

Sometimes sellers are just as bad.
Got a msg from a seller a while ago, "I'm home now, head round whenever you're free". Sent him a msg saying I'll be about 20 minutes, to which he replied "Not a problem". Get to the house, knock on the door, nice lady answers and informs me that her son (the seller) isn't home from work yet. I then wait 10 minutes, after which I leave. Got a msg maybe 15-20 minutes later asking where I was, told him to forget it. He then got upset because I messed HIM around.

Gumtree should really try and ban it. I know they won't. Shits me so often. For example, I'm currently looking for a replacement ae86 exhaust. Search "ae86 exhaust" in automotive=> parts & accessories and it just links to people selling brand new stuff with every tag imaginable in it. Take the exhaust out of the search and it's even worse

if you arent selling anything related to ae86, then why put the tag in the first place. your target audience is widened sure, but its no longer targeted, and now that becomes spamming. which also means that potential buyers shy away because not sure if real ad or just random spam.

New wheels, check,
New nuts, check,
hub rings, check.
try to fit wheels, no fucking dice, hub rings not loving the wheels. didn't bother considering tolerances just went the diameter and chucked them in the freezer. Now I have to wait a few days for the rings to get here.

Parking fine in Kings Park. Had to park there since my spot at work was taken by some other prick. Worst thing was the fine was issued about 2 minutes after I left. FUUUUUU
Anyone know if they enforceable? Or can i just ignore like the Wilson parking ones?
I didn't have to drive in today either!!
Council fines are enforceable.. Private entity "fines" are only enforceable as a civil action in court, which is unlikely if the claim is small.

Good luck with that. Need place of abode for court. Private agencies aren't privileged to such information and if they do get it and you raise that matter, I'm sure they will drop it like a hot potato.
Kings Park is gazetted as such entity but not the likes of Wilson's etc.

Kings Park fines are definitely enforceable, they will happily take away your license, the local rangers can nail you for speeding, and their fines are a lot worse than the usual ones.
I believe it's a national Park, so probably some sort of federal type deal.

They got busted about 18months. Were getting a deal. If you google Wilson's and dot I'm sure something will come up.

Drive 1 hour and 15 min's to said shop today. Ahh no we don't have any in. I thought we did.

Opening the driver door when you're facing up a steep hill.
People who drive around at night without headlights on, completely oblivious.
Apps that update themselves, then remove their icon from your home screen.
Inanimate objects that don't do what I want.

you use a 4 wheeled vehicle to easily propel your arse up a hill & then complain about the extra effort required in opening the door, haha
thats even lazier than ZZm5 saying its easier to flush toilet paper rolls down the dunny than put them in the bin LOL!
seriously, you could be on to something, mercedes or bmw could offer incline door opening assist as an option :)

i saw the taxis in japan with the word "auto door" sticker on the window, and was told about it. wierdly for the two weeks i was in japan, i never once saw a taxi open its door automatically, even when i took a taxi i waited, and waited for the door to open only to have to manually open it myself.
yes i know but they are not 'incline assist' - i should put a patent on the idea lol
sell your idea to mercedes, im sure they will buy it and put in their next gen s class. then claim "worlds first auto door with incline assist" :p

Mine is fuckin ONION, this shit somehow makes it onto my pizza, pasta, roast even if its not ment to be on the dish. I fuckin hate the shit. Biggest thing i hate is asking at a restaurant if the dish has onion in it to then be told nope or if it does they wont put it on. Get the dish and BULK onion through the sauce. Take it back and they say... you cant taste it. Fuk that shits me, if you cant taste it why put it on the dish or in the sauce.
Before anyone gives me shit, everyone has something they hate like this. My mate was pullin the piss out of me about onion till i found out he hated gravey with the same passion, who the fuck doesn’t like gravy

I am fucking pedantic about tomato if its green or a massive core I turn it down – never ask for tomato at subway as its always manky green or has a massive core in it.

BMW already have multiple position opening hinges, where it will stop at whatever point the door opens to, it doesn't have to "click" onto the next part of the latch.....and they have "soft close" doors.... been around since the E65 (2002), my folks car has it.
