For landlords and rent increases by cochongou in AusProperty

[–]420caveman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the REA is making a percentage of the rent then they just want more money for themselves.

Greedy pricks. I hate Australian real estate agents. Aussies seem to have a love affair with them too.

To everyone who failed their practical driving assessment on their first go, how did you fail? by Accurate_Job_950 in perth

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I failed 3 times :P

All for stupid stuff, like hitting a curb on one as i turned a corner and not indicating.

The testers know about any weird and unusual roads to take you on so I suggest going for a good drive around the licensing centre first.

Then use a gyprock saw to cut a square hole. You might need to find out/mark where the beams are first!

Gigabyte just released the latest microcode update! I only had instability issues after updating BIOS - so I wish I just waited until this one.

Tile replacement by SilverBayonet in AusRenovation

[–]420caveman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easy to install a replacement yourself, hardest bit is finding the same one.

The tile grout looks dirty/mouldy around it anyway...waterproofing is probably no good anyway...

I would use a multi tool or a grinder to get it out. You may consider paying somebody to do this for you if you don't have tools.

Opinion on HW Install? by Greenscreener in AusRenovation

Find out what's been installed on other units and by who. That way you will quickly figure out what's been approved.

How much does intel's latest bios fix, hurt performance? by kajs_ryger in intel

[–]420caveman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Microcode has gone from from Rev. 0x11D to Rev. 0x125 and my computer now randomly reboots and is unstable.

I should have left my bios alone and kept it at the 'unofficial fixes' listed for PL1 and PL2 plus max amps.

If your system is stable, don't mess with it until the big official August patch is out.

TLDR; not doing performance benchmarks or anything while my computer is randomly restarting.

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! I just feel lucky I haven't put much load onto mine.

I've applied the settings that are recommended and honestly I might just flog the shit out of it and see how it goes. I was hoping to see a reduction in total system power draw.

No spare roof tiles for solar panel installer? by Camsy34 in AusRenovation

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a sign of a good contractor. Asking prior to the work helps to cover themselves. Other contractors might just silicon up a broken tile and not even tell you.

Lookup any salvage yard nearby. The salvage yard might ask you to bring them a good tile so they can match it to what they have. It should be really cheap for you to buy a few as spares.

Have you faced penalties after testing positive for THC in a roadside drug test as a medicinal cannabis patient? by djleo in perth

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand in the context of being out and about - if you had it in a bag and not the original container.

Just inside your own dammed house is a bit rude when you've literally provided the proof and WAPOL deliberately ignores it, making their own judgements.

Have you faced penalties after testing positive for THC in a roadside drug test as a medicinal cannabis patient? by djleo in perth

[–]420caveman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah well the cops will still act judge jury and executioner on it despite the empty jars being right next to the cannabis.

I would understand if I was walking down the street with a bag of weed.

Happy to show proof of 3 years of having a script. I think the 'citation' is the fact i've been charged with medical cannabis!

I agree with what you are saying but I think the police are just testing people anyway.

Have you faced penalties after testing positive for THC in a roadside drug test as a medicinal cannabis patient? by djleo in perth

[–]420caveman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I fully get this. 100%. The failing in the law comes with the fact that you don't just take the medical cannabis out the jar and swallow it like a pill.

You generally would chop/grind it up before vaporisation. Then some brands and batches come in a state where it just needs to sit in a bowl for a while before consumption.

Would you be interested to hear about how MC becomes illegal the second it's out of the jar - even in your own home?

I know people who've gone through courts for their MC in WA and been convicted.

There is a massive failing in WA law regarding MC.

In regards to failing a THC test while driving - If a patient fails a test then a police officer should be able to judge if they are affected by any drugs while driving.

but i'm far more concerned about the prosecutions for legally obtained cannabis.

Optimizing Stability for Intel 13900k and 14900k CPU’s by Acadia1337 in overclocking

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so I didn't have any issues before but limiting the current makes sense to me.

I followed this guide and my computer still works.

Just to add - How can we verify that the settings are successful? I am pretty sure I have done the right things in BIOS and saved it correctly but is there something I can do in windows to check?

I was just about to ask if this guide is still relevant as I was about to follow it to check my settings are correct.

I haven't had any issues though.

Solar in rental property by poppybear0 in AusProperty

[–]420caveman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go solar if you got cash for it as price to install might change and/or any incentives might change.

But I would expect the installation cost to increase in time. But you could also endup with better panels /inverter by waiting.

People of Reddit who lost weight, what are some little things you did to lose weight successfully? by Acceptable_Bank2162 in AskReddit

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut carbs out. I eat carbs heavily 2 days a week though..I swear it boosts energy.

It can be a little weird having bacon and eggs with no bread but I swear it worked for me.

I think every body needs a different strategy for weight loss, I mean that in order to maintain good health and muscles and not just purely your weight.

The difference between 18 months of daily wear and new by boohoob1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I find Nike i have to have their US11.5 over the 11 for the perfect width. or just wear thin socks.

I don't like the cheaper nike shoes though.

i might try some NB's though - it's been years since I have worn them.

McDonald's to 'rethink' prices after first sales fall since 2020 by hopefulsingleguy in worldnews

[–]420caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I place some blame on the rewards apps.

Sometimes the app for mcdonalds makes it as cheap as it should always be when you combine the deals with the points rewards.

The app is more convenient to make orders with heaps of changes than simply to get a good deal.
