    Anyone use VR on a plane or airport lounge? Reaction of staff?

    I'm gonna get the adaptor and HMD so I can use Oculus cough. It sounds like what I do with my Vive Pro except that is 2K per eye and can play back rips at whatever quality level you like in whatever environment you like or straight from the disc with the right apps if you don't own a digital...

    Anyone use VR on a plane or airport lounge? Reaction of staff?

    Oh excellent! What sort of content did you use? Did you get 3D playback? Decent size/rez screen? I'm still waiting for my Note 9 to arrive, I normally use a Vive Pro.

    It's exactly because of my experience with the mental health system that I know that simply speaking honestly and openly about how my condition makes me feel is enough to be admitted to a mental hospital because of my diagnosis and past history. I have to carefully curate everything I say when...

    Explain how I'm rorting the system? I've spent more time in hospitals and doctor's offices in the last 7 years than most people spend in their lives, what you think people with illnesses or disabilities should be stuck in a single room, surviving on baked beans and ramen between medical...

    I can get travel insurance and TBH, the consequences of dying on a plane are not as bad as the consequences of a life lived stuck in a bedroom, seeing the world through VR only. Yep but they're also automatically approved and backdated if you book yourself into a mental ward after being cut...

    I was hoping for both, but will settle for obtaining a premium pass and slowly building up enough points to get lifetime silver or gold over the next decade. I don't mind flying domestic most of the time, easier on me because of centerlink. Overseas travel will require me to either have DSP if...

    I wasn't blasting anyone I was just pointing out that not everyone's standards are the same. My perspective on what is coughty or not is skewed by the lifestyle I'm forced to live. A rotting steak is unparalleled luxury for a dog, what do you think is luxury for the disabled? It's extremely hard...

    Completely avoidable if you work or volunteer part-time and are only required to do a certain amount of hours per fortnight because of reduced work capacity and can provide documentation showing that you'll be receiving some sort of medical treatment or are leaving for some sort of medical...

    How much money do you need to do this cycle? How are you getting the money back on the gift cards or are you selling them?

    Anyone use VR on a plane or airport lounge? Reaction of staff?

    Guessing they won't give a damn if I strap VR rig to my face once the plane is level, right? Should be able to just chill back watching junk in VR or playing VR games without them getting upset?

    Disabled person here, looking to make friends and learn/swap tips and tricks.

    As I posted in the other forum, I'm on a limited income my disability pretty much ensures I have extremely limited employment options but I'm crafty enough to stretch my funds far further than most already and I'd like to learn to apply that sort of attitude to the flight and hotel system with...

    Thanks for the kind welcome, what sort of help do you think you'd be able to give me? I'm trying to figure out how to best structure my finances so I can reap QP from both my carer and her partner as well as my own spends because Qantas allows for sharing for us. Also trying to figure out...

    Disabled on fixed income, looking to accrue Qantas points for travel.

    My expectations are quite low because of how I've had to live for the past several years but now that I'm figuring out to live and not just survive with a permanent illness, I'm finding ways to take advantage of the spare time I have to work systems and get more for my 13.2k p/a than most people...

    I can go as hard as anyone else, it's just that when I say I have to stop, I have to stop and some people can't accept that, they expect me to be able to be at my best at all times and I can't keep that up healthily unfortunately. I don't feel like you're being condescending and I thank you for...

    Fortunately, miles can be shared between certain categories of people, we're relatives so I can structure their finances in such a way that would allow for me to reap points off money I'm not even spending on things that I don't possess or have liabilities for. This is on the level, no illegal...

    Best I can manage long-term is volunteer work unless you know a job that will let me do a minimum of 8 hours per week from home on a completely unbound 24/7 schedule that allows me to work when I can for as long as I can with the ability to stop and not do anything for up to two weeks to two...
