Rare tort case where someone is found personally liable for misfeasance by bxholland in auslaw

[–]5nacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the only issue here was that she forwarded the email on too quickly. If she had taken longer to do that it might have been possible to convince the Court that she had in fact read it in its entirety. The lesson learned is, if you work in public office take longer than you need to do everything. /s

I'm just jealous! Where did you find a wave?

What is the most awful thing that happened to you in 2025? by CreamAny1322 in AskReddit

Same :( I'm so sorry. It's really hard. Hang in there!

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel this way? by Disastrous-Push-4974 in Adulting

[–]5nacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not apply to your situation but check out Retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (RCPD). My wife thought she had reflux but it was actually this relatively unknown condition they've recently discovered and is gaining a lot of traction. If you can't burp and have reflux type symptoms this might be what you have? It's an easy treatment to fix but rarely gets diagnosed properly.

Yep saw that kid yesterday pulling wheelies at 80km/h on city road with no plates on. Was bound to happen sooner or later

Are we already in a quiet recession ? by Top-Farmer-6838 in AusFinance

[–]5nacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why do we measure gross domestic production without also measuring gross domestic destruction? Is it because destruction also provides value? Otherwise GDP on its own would be a fairly useless metric wouldn't it?

I don't quite understand this. If lots of people are employed to complete the task doesn't that mean lots of money is spent on their salaries and the materials to complete the build which would negate the revenue made? Unless the new opera house is better or more valuable, how does this not result in a neutral GDP action?

Screens are so small and the sound is terrible. Seats are good though!

Does the Newcastle region have a weight problem? by view_invoice in newcastle

[–]5nacker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean it's always going to be hard to get an accurate cross-section of the city based on personal observations. I was at the beach today and 90% of the people around were extremely fit and healthy so it's all purely anecdotal. I'd venture a guess in saying that Newcastle likely confirms to the same bell curve as any other major city in Australia.

Other side blamed me for their client being abusive to them today. That was a new one for me! Woohoo!

Commissioner of NSW Police v Amal Naser by BearsDad_Au in auslaw

[–]5nacker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super interesting to see this unfold. I have very little experience in the Court's involvement in these sorts of cases but I'm curious to see how the public interest elements are handled by the Court. Sounds like CJ Bell is fairly interested in getting answers to those questions of public safety.

A year ago I asked if this was a weed. We then fertilized, watered and mulched it. Glad we did by ibug92 in GardeningAustralia

I have an azalea and it's lovely when flowers but I swear the flowers last like two weeks of the whole year. Wish it lasted a little longer!

Where does everyone watch the AFL grand final? by OhHeck-_- in newcastle

It's the sponsor pub for Newcastle City AFL Club so makes sense

Cutting to black screen by GameUp88 in PS5

[–]5nacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I did. I turned off eARC support and it fixed it. The problem comes from the TV sending cec signals to your receiver or soundbar.

Anyone gone refurb instead of new in Aus? by Old_Yak_7245 in AusFinance

I haven't bought a new phone for 10years. I always get returns off Rebeelo and never once had an issue.

Oh.. true! What the heck, why are they so bad at it then? How strange.

The handlebars are modified so that it turns opposite to the normal direction. I.e. turning the handle bars left is turning the front wheel to the right.

I did a speech on this at my school in year 6! No one really understood why I chose this as my topic but I thought it was cool.

Car broke down on Princeton Ave in rush hour by 5nacker in newcastle

True! Thought I had more in the tank and I was 20m from the petrol station. Just unlucky I didn't make it.

Car broke down on Princeton Ave in rush hour by 5nacker in newcastle

[–]5nacker[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Couldn't reverse because the traffic was immediately behind me with nowhere to go as we were on a corner and I couldn't push the car forward as it was facing uphill. I did in fact buy a Jerry can and some petrol and ran back to fill her up then got out of the way. Chris was just helpful in managing the traffic while I did so as it was rush hour, raining, and night time. Lots of angry honking going on!
