Infection time takes up to two weeks to pop symptoms, so you're gonna see a couple go in the first few days and then a big explosion after a week. Don't forget you've also got fuckwits in NSW avoiding testing as well.

Sydney hospitals may not be entirely full up, but they're preparing for it Our bariatric patients usually stay in the ICU a day or two post surgery as a matter of course, but last week two of the hospitals called to say they're limiting that to only the necessary, usually SA or complicated ones will be BC they need the space. This is like 2 hospitals out of the whole state, mind, in South and southwest Sydney, but I imagine there's like, empty beds but they're still technically full BC of the long rear end stays covid cases in ICU have they need to have as much space as possible

Back to appliance chat, I bought this stupid thing for my partner's birthday BC he loves pancakes and I wanted to make him birthday cake pancakes BC he couldn't have his cake for breakfast this year, and honestly, it owns. Like yes, you can just use a pan but it cooks them perfectly and takes like 2 minutes to do a whole stack Also great for fritters and stuff, so it's a great brunch machine if you're a terrible basic bitch millennial like we are

yeah part of the surrounding northern rivers brain worms around covid is that the test for it can actually kill you and that there are more deaths from that than from covid so no way anyone except the tiny proportion of non shitcunts up that way are getting tested. We'll find out its there when enough people start dropping dead.

There was a case in the mental health unit at Nepean so until they can be sure there's been no spread to other parts of the hospital you probably want to avoid it. Yolo Swaggins Esq posted:Sydney hospitals may not be entirely full up, but they're preparing for it A lot of Sydney hospitals activated their surge plans a couple of weeks ago and started cancelling non-urgent surgery. With others, like Liverpool, they have an outbreak in the hospital itself which means you can't staff your empty beds because so many of your staff are isolating. My daughter works at Belmont hospital. Last year they had their own covid ward. This year anyone who tests positive is sent straight to John Hunter.

I use a big cast iron plate that goes across two burners for pancakes and big long spatula for flipping them. We have a fancy vertical waffle machine that spits out perfect waffles with minimal effort but I always end up doing pancakes instead since it's 4 ingredients smashed together in a bowl vs loving around with cornstarch and whipped egg whites for the really nice crispy waffles. bee posted:My favourite kitchen appliance is my penguin waffle maker.

Aware posted:Switch to another RSP that gives a poo poo like Aussie, when I had drop-outs on FTTN they log all the drops automatically so they've got records to give to nbn, had nbn out within 3 days and while it took two visits to resolve it it did get resolved. It was an issue outside of my house. Are you saying Aussie was logging the drop outs, or that you logged them and sent them the information? Because the drops I'm getting are not detected by the RSP.

Something I've found interesting looking at all the most recent outbreaks in Victoria, NSW and Queensland is the pattern that (so far) seems to be emerging in the places that actually give a poo poo and lockdown hard and fast. In Victoria we've seen this similar pattern with both lockdown 5 and 6 where the initial 5 days of an outbreak being discovered is largely characterised by cases being outside in the community, and then beyond those 5 days the ratio shifts towards cases being well isolated and things get under control. So far the last two days of lockdown 6 have followed quite closely the isolation status pattern we saw at the 19th/20th of lockdown 5. So optimistically we'll continue seeing that trend again.  Queensland has seen a pretty similar pattern, with 5 bad days of cases in the community and then a shift to cases being mostly isolated. The main difference being a couple of spikes of cases that remained under investigation.  Meanwhile...we all know how ridiculous NSW is getting.. Apart from the lack of a fast response, or stricter wider ranging lockdowns that we know work, they're also continually seeing these "under investigation" cases that the public never seem to get updates on, so who knows just how bad the infectious in the community stats really are getting.

Aussie log the dropouts/can see them. They ask you wait 24 hours while they collect the data over that period and if it's happening more than whatever nbn guarantees then they log a fault and get someone out. Anyway, assuming you're not in a contract you can change RSPs as much as you like, almost all offer month to month service. Worth a shot.

The RSP has to be looking for the dropouts to see them, and most just don't record that information. Meanwhile, Aussie broadband can actually see when your router drops (I know this because they actually saw me restarting my router on their end when I was doing some troubleshooting with them), so they're much better able to produce those reports. I'm really looking forward to moving and being able to go back to Aussie. My current internet is some horrible private fibre network that they can't serve.

It's a function of the number of contacts and exposure sites now. Because people become infectious so soon after exposure, the chances of tracking them down and isolating them before they become infectious get smaller as the outbreak grows.

Yeah, it really shows the failure of relying so much on contact tracing, because there's always going to be an upper limit on just how efficiently tracing can be done. Once you reach a given threshold of complexity with so many contacts and unknowns it's just not feasible to do fast enough for it to be useful. Mostly I just like graphs and thought it was interesting seeing a consistent pattern in the effective outbreak responses!

Lolie posted:The guy who went real estate shopping in the northern rivers has been charged. Good. Anyway, while we're all going to hell in NSW, I am pulling some poo poo apart to fix up. Picked up this old Peavey 215 for $30 (I gave the guy $50 to drop it off). It works, but a previous owner had rewired it to have two separate outputs, one of which is an old XLR connection. Opened it up today to see if I can't rewire it to series mode again, found some nice vintage JBL E140s inside, but not enough spare speaker cable for the job. Oh well, some new 16GA wire is on the way. Once this thing is sorted, it'll handle 800w @ 4 ohms. That's a LOT of bass.
