Not sure how many of you are aware, but Brisbane pathways suck. Old, lifted and broken sections are everywhere making mobility difficult for all kinds of residents.

I became more aware of how bad the infrastructure is after buying an electric scooter.

To have your say, RACQ have a Safer pathways survey to help them understand the problem better. I encourage everyone to fill it out.

I've tried a lot. My two current faves are Macquarie and Up. Just realised I haven't changed for ages so they must be good.

Are Up giving you a reason for not accepting the transfer? I haven't transferred any to my crypto provider for a while, but it used to work fine

The food there was spectacular

[-] thedavemiester@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely was!

People who want to argue otherwise baffle and infuriate me

Definitely my experience with discord also. It sucks. Maybe I'm just a grumpy old fart.

Only issue I have with Lemmy is that there isn't enough of us here from the Brisbane community. Luckily(?) My 3rd party Reddit app is currently still alive so I've found myself going back there a bit. I even had another (boost is full Telstra) argument the other day for old times sake

Fubar is a surprisingly funny tv show as well

Mary Fowler now ruled out with concussion. How hard are they training?!

Funniest bit of this is that Tate was on holidays. His deputy said that they didn't want it/it wasn't feasible or possible. Tate literally flew home to over rule her

Around lunchtime today someone crashed into the overpass again. Traffic currently being diverted. Big delays.

They aren't wild. They're completely reliant on stupid humans for food. The ones around Eli creek and orchid beach have so much human interaction they might as well be domesticated dogs.

The information isn't working. The dingos are getting bolder, are not afraid of humans and when they don't get what they want (food) they become aggressive. They're also pack animals and extremely smart. They see one dingo successfully open an Esky/tent/get food from a human and it doesn't take long for the pack to think that that's a decent way to go about it.

Yes the tourists are stupid, but what's happened is that the dingoes now believe that every human is a food source. Those backpackers that fed the dingo and got away with it don't suffer the consequences of their actions, it's every human than comes after them.

The population is estimated to be between 100-200 (I think it's much higher than that) you can't seriously think that if one of these animals repeatedly attacks people that the animal should be protected?

When the recent dog attacks happened in Brisbane, everyone expects the dog to be put down. I have no idea why the same isn't applied to dingoes. The local indigenous leaders are in agreement as well.

Dingos on K'gari (aussie.zone)

Obviously a lot of media about the dingos lately.

I've been travelling to Fraser/K'gari for over 30 years. The last 2 visits were the first time that I as an adult felt in danger. I've always been vigilant with watching my 2 kids, but it certainly takes the relaxation out of the equation when you're constantly scanning for them.

My opinion is kill any dingo that shows any sign of aggression to humans. I know that will be unpopular, but I can't think of another way. The fines and "advice" are having zero effect. Most of the time the tourists that encourage negative dingo behaviour are long gone when that dingo exhibits these behaviours to other people.

I go every year, but this year am genuinely scared of taking my kids. We stay in a house, can't even think about what it would be like camping

Thunder for Lemmy is now on the Google app store. Best app available IMO

It is being reported on social media that a large explosion was heard and felt in surrounding suburbs such as Strathpine, Griffin, Kallangur and Dakabin.

Will post more info as it becomes available
