Fellow pathway users. (aussie.zone)
 

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

Hot take: Discord is a piece of shit in c/brisbane@aussie.zone

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

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

Dingos on K'gari in c/brisbane@aussie.zone
[–] thedavemiester@aussie.zone -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is the problem though. The ones hanging around the campsites aren't behaving as native animals.

For more than 30 years you'd be lucky to see one and if you did, it would slink off into the distance and go back to its natural environment. Those dingoes are special and should absolutely be left alone. The packs who are known to hang around high people areas are the problem. They aren't the same thing

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

Explosion Murrumba Downs (aussie.zone)
 

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

PSA: Brouhaha Brewery Baringa has a great kids room (aussie.zone)
 

I can't take a photo without looking dodgy (you can see it on their Facebook) but Brouhaha in Baringa (new Caloundra development) has a great setup for kids.

Awesome beers on tap too.

For anyone who's kids are driving them nuts on school holidays, I can highly recommend it

So who else is new? (aussie.zone)
 

Just signed up today with my favourite 3rd party app biting the dust tomorrow.

So far it's taken a bit of getting used to, but I quite like the look of the thunder app with Lemmy. Be keen to keep an eye out for kbin apps too.

Looks pretty quiet here though. Going to miss the 'why is there a helicopter over my suburb?' posts
