Gosh the internal review process for traffic fines is such a crock of shit.

I'm challenging a red light camera fine as I think it was incorrectly issued - my car crossed the stop line when the light was yellow, then it turned red and the cameras went off. You have to cross the stop line after the light has turned red to commit the offence (at least that's my reading of the law). Wrote a detailed review application with reasons, my recollection of the situation, referring to the photo evidence you can access etc, all I got back is "we are satisfied the offence was committed". That's it. Pay up or go to court.

I'm in this crap position of having only my recollection of the situation to rely on. I can't prove my car was in the intersection when the light was still yellow outside of pointing to the police photo which shows exactly this. But that wasn't good enough for the review, so it's probably not good enough for court either. It's a really expensive fine too. Feels like guilty until proven innocent rather than the other way around.

I've been much more careful since this fine, the light goes yellow I'm stopping. I don't trust those fixed cameras one bit.

I just had to rescue a frog. In my bedroom. 3 very interested cats, and one squeaky little frog who is now outside. Who needs sleep?

Absolute steal on one of the mrs's Christmas presents! She wanted some tea so I went to grab one of the tea2 gift packs. One was like 85 bucks, the assistant stopped me and said "hey just so you know if you buy 2 its like 80 bucks" and was like "so 160 in total?" he goes "no, both for 80" wait so I get a second one, and have to pay 5 bucks less? Heck yes!

Silly question. Is it normal for a hairdryer to overheat and cut out way before you’ve finished? Is this a quality issue or is it faulty/damaged?

I’ve been having this happen with different cheap hairdryers. And while my hair is difficult to get dry/takes ages, it isn’t even going for a long time. I only ever rough dry my roots and am having the dryer cut out before I’ve finished doing that.

Had a garbage sleep with last night's temps. But on the plus side I could have a really long sleep. I only just properly got up. Though I did get up for half an hour for a quick zoom this morning. I needed it though. I feel less emotionally strained and foggy, and like I can properly get into the swing of moving

It is just dawning on me that cause of my screw up with trying to redirect that parcel that's now gone into hibernation in Adelaide, I can't actually have internet at the new place until it arrives. Guess I can't finally put my 1.1TB of banked mobile data to use (full 5g even inside at the new place!) Initially speedtest.net was reporting about 300mbps down, but Amaysim caps their download speeds to 100mbps. It settled out at about 115mbps. That makes it faster than the max NBN speed I can get at the new place, so perhaps 5g home internet is actually a practical option
