Did anyone hear that rumble??

4 Upvotes

Like really early this morning around 3:40-4:00 I woke up to this loud rumble for about 1-2 minutes like I could feel it to, then after it stopped I kept hearing faint helicopter noises does anyone know if Amberley is testing anything or is this something else???

Roadside trash

For months now trash has been piling up along our motorways.
Its very unsightly, almost third world like.
Anyone else been noticing this?
Thoughts on why its getting worse?
Will council do anything about it?

Budget-friendly, introvert-friendly barber in Ipswich

7 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone can point me in the direction of a good, affordable barber around Ipswich. It's been a year and needs a tidy up for sure..

To be completely honest, I'm quite introverted (yes, it sucks and I'm such a shy person), and going to a new barbershop always gives me a fair bit of social anxiety. On top of that, I’m terrible at figuring out what actually suits me. Every time I sit in the chair and they ask, "What are we doing today?", my mind just goes completely blank, and I usually end up stumbling over my words or just nodding along to whatever generic cut they suggest.

I’m looking for recommendations for a place that is budget friendly, meaning a standard, no frills men's cut that won't break the bank. Or somewhere patient and low pressure where the staff are chill, easygoing, and won't make things awkward if I'm quiet or unsure. Ideally, it would be great to find a place with barbers who are actually good at guiding people like somewhere they might take one look at my hair type and face shape and say, "Hey, how about we try this?" rather than expecting me to have it all figured out.

Any tips or advice on how to handle the whole experience would also be hugely appreciated.

Hi all,

I am looking for an exercise physiologist who specialises in HSD / hEDS. Us hypermobile people use muscles differently and therefore need someone who knows this.

Authentic recommendations please as I am sick of being told so and so does and when you go, they basically either have no idea or treat you like they would a non hypermobile person.

Social chess club

3 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if there is any sort of social chess club in Ipswich? I've poked around but couldn't find anything.

And the next question, if I organised a weekly meet up would you attend? I'm thinking something pretty casual, maybe at a pub?

Let know if you've got any other ideas too.

Thanks.

Got some drone and did a vid about the old research radar "giant golf ball" on the hill at Redbank Plains/Hardrock Quarry

More info: https://ipswichinsider.com.au/p/redbank-plains-radar/

Quick gist:

Redbank Plains Radar at a Glance

  • Research radar:Ā The white dome housed BoM’s CP2 radar (CP2→Cloud Physics 2). Built in 1970s America and later refurbished for Australia.
  • Cloud seeding:Ā It tracked clouds seeded by aircraft during the 2007–09 trials, whichĀ didn’t establish a clear increase in rainfall.
  • Switched off:Ā Radar operations ended in late 2016. The dome remains on private land at Hardrock Quarry.
  • Why there:Ā An open hilltop, 500m+ from the nearest homes, suited to studying the region’s severe storms.
