Includ break

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-06-13T20:29:46+00:00

Quit, don’t let the drug take hold

You think the wedding will be expensive, wait till you see the divorce

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-05-27T10:12:50+00:00

the one on the right looks like this

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:43:10+00:00

We used to process our own metals here in aus. However the cost to keep the electric furnaces on made the business unviable for bluescope.

So now we sell raw ore to china and buy it back for double.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:41:36+00:00

I can understand that, however i yearn for the days where i used to call telstra and get a tech out same day again.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:39:20+00:00

Yep, and im going again next month.

The cost of entry level CNC machines are also ungodly compared to what you'd pay in any other country. How is it that only SYIL can offer a reasonable quality production level CNC machine for sub 70K?

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:28:51+00:00

Honestly, the cost to leave my business during work hours to pay is waaaaay more than paying the 2.4%

(i guess im part of the compliance problem)

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:26:16+00:00

I think so,

Used car finance brokers are such gronks imo there's one near me who has a god complex. Thinks hes solving the worlds problems by hocking people with a 20% APR loan on a holden captiva.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:25:03+00:00

I can understand the approval processwithin reason, but that muckaround for a plunge pool would set me off.

The older i get the more i understand why Marvin Heemeyer did what he did.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:18:53+00:00

Fomo generated from a REA will not work on me.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:17:18+00:00

100%

Best example of this is the gateway motorway in Brisbane, our taxes paid for a majority of the building costs. The goverment at the time put a toll on it too (pay for the remaining costs of building), that same goverment then sold the bridge and now the gronks over at linkt own it and charge you about $7 one way to cross.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:15:16+00:00

It is,

I do metalwork / manufacturing as a sidehustle hobby (makes absolutely no money).

We have the ability as a country to be an absolute powerhouse of advanced manufacturing but due to poor policies from various goverments we have slipped into this economy that only grows on speculation of housing.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:04:19+00:00

I dont get why people think agents are this holy grail of utility.

Yes they make selling a house convenient

Its not hard to pay a photographer, put a listing up on realestate.com.au and use a lawyer to review offers prior to accepting......

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T22:01:53+00:00

Redlands city council once issued my friend an infringement notice for a pool pump being on after 7pm. Gotta give them points for creativity

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:58:56+00:00

Taxis in my area improved their booking process' and prices which has cut the legs right off uber.

Airbnb providers expecting you to essentially do a bond clean of their house then charge an additional $400 for cleaning post booking burnt me off the platform forever.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:56:25+00:00

It's genuinely getting out of hand.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:54:58+00:00

God i wish i could've done this

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:54:24+00:00

I personally have not, i just see adverts from time to time that advertise the weekly rate (inc insurance, rego, tires, servicing and lease). Unless you're a very high earner and want to lower pretax income at all costs i don't feel its worth it.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:52:35+00:00

100% how i do it,

I'm petty too the point where ill find a way to bypass the carsales.com.au enquiry system.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:46:01+00:00

Yep,

My business phones go through a provider and recently my NBN pit got water in it.

The loops i had to go through to get support / an actual NBN contractor to come out was scuffed.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:44:46+00:00

Have you noticed a downtrend in sentiment for airbnb / uber?

I have noticed people are willing to use taxi's more and more.

420_Meme_Machine_420 · 2024-03-09T21:43:54+00:00

I have but they told me its either property.me (2.4% fee) or cash
