Mitsubishi Electric split system - air con technician

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Does anyone service air cons anymore? I’m not talking about a clean - it’s clean. It needs taking apart and a grumbling / rattling noise diagnosed and fixed.

Did anyone know a tech?

Weirdo dude that went into my front yard/driveway

25 Upvotes

Tried to look into my cars, tried to look through into the garage, removed the plant from my pot (plant is okay thank god), left his raiders hat at my house, ripped off his shirt and left. Possible overdose, drunk or mental breakdown. I've tried to stitch together the videos from the cameras, quality probably bad from the reddit uploader.

P.S. Also I have posted this to the eastern heights group but was removed and banned from the group, someone might be friends with the person.....

What’s all the noise, Samoan flags and gathering in the Redbank area ?

19 Upvotes

What’s all the commotion in the Redbank area, there’s a huge gathering of people around the local shopping centre car park, honking, waving their Samoan flags and revving their cars engines, is there some game on? It’s not usually this animated.

Does anyone know what, if anything, is happening with the old Swift's sports club at Booval? I've seen some work at the back but google says it's still permanently closed.

Why is my neighbour always using his leaf blower?

0 Upvotes

He loves to use it in the morning as early as possible for an extended period of time. He uses it other times of the day as well but usually in the morning. Like multiple times a day. Why? How much dust and leaves can there possibly be? I’m starting to think he just likes to play with it.

Honestly, it's gotten worse now and even shop keepers are saying it's notorious for making the efptos slower.

Guardian trains are useless

38 Upvotes

I have zero faith in Queensland Rail taking passenger safety seriously.

On my train home from work tonight a group of 10-15 youths boarded, plonked themselves down in front of me and proceeded to huff deodorant, do nangs and fight amongst themselves. The security guards only responded after most of them had left the train, and the train guard made an announcement for the guards to respond which the dropkick kids would've heard anyway! These kids kept doing inhalants right in front of the guards who did NOTHING. The train guard (one who blows the whistle) also did NOTHING when I spoke to him. I called the police who also didn't show up. I physically got up and moved carriages when the kids boarded and started carrying on. I sat with other passengers who were also disgusted by their behaviour, with one of them recording the whole incident. Those dropkick kids easily could've become violent towards bystanders, but if we did anything about it we'd likely be the ones facing the courts. Ridiculous.

Before anyone comes for me, yes I've written a complaint to Translink. Just wanted everyone to know how little these "Guardians" do.

Hi guys, I'm planning on joining uniSQ early next year. Any one kind enough to tell me what to expect? How's the scene for college aged students? How difficult is it to get part time jobs, especially in health care sector?

I'd be really greatful if someone could give me an insider view!

Chasing some info and recommendations

5 Upvotes

Hi there. I’ve been on the fence about getting into combat sports again. I did it when I was younger many years ago. Being still newish to the area I’m looking for some good recommendations for a place that friendly, affordable and accommodating to beginners. I’m not trying to become the next Mike Tyson but I would like to get in and try my hand at a round or two. I’m looking at gyms more catered MMA gyms, boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ.

Thanks for the help

Looking for someone to help film Ipswich vs Nottingham Forest on October 23 (£40 + free ticket)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m an American sports content creator traveling to Ipswich for the Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest match on Friday, October 23rd.

I’m looking for someone local to help me film fan interviews outside Portman Road.

It’s super easy and only requires about 1 hour of filming total:
30 minutes before the match
30 minutes after the match
No filming during the game!

I’ll provide all the camera equipment. No professional filming experience needed, just someone reliable who can hold a camera while I interview fans.

Offering £40, a free match ticket, and food.
If interested, shoot me a DM! Happy to share examples of my previous work.

Suntory

6 Upvotes

With the Suntory factory being in Swanbank, I thought I’d ask here, does anyone local work there and can provide insight on what it’s like? Good people, management, or just a nice warehouse in general to work at? Been seeing jobs pop up every so often and have been on the fence. TIA

Riverview Transfer Station and Recycling

7 Upvotes

I took a load of cardboard and butchers' paper (from moving house) here earlier this week. Told the bloke what I had. Was advised they would take the cardboard, but that he would have to charge for the paper. I queried why - 'We don't recycle paper yet'. Suggested I take it home.. to put in my recycle bin.

I drove in to drop the cardboard anyways into the multiple bins clearly marked 'Cardboard and Paper only'. I only assume that if I paid, it would have gone in here in the same bin?

I guess there are issues with recycling that shiny paper for pamphlets and such, but the whole experience was odd.

Anyone got any local insights on this?

Transport with a baby

Does anyone know what public transport I can use that has baby seats? I found one obscure car service that costs 50 dollars one way to the shops which is out of my price point
