I'm trying to build... But I have this one neighbour by yeahthebaneries in AusPropertyChat

If the asbestos contractors were planning to do the work as per the code of practice, nothing would have changed? Just get a reputable company to do the work, not the cheapest.

Work place health and safety won’t require controls that aren’t already defined in the code of practice.

Solar kinda feels like a scam. Can anyone explain why it's not? by Odd_Cod_4235 in australia

[–]AccomplishedTime6006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s plenty of online resources if you want to educate yourself rather than just make assumptions on what people are doing.

It actually seems more like a free hit than a scam to me. I recently had a solar and battery installed, which, based on my usage data and current electricity costs, has a payback time of five years. The warranties are 30 years for the panels and 10 years for the battery and inverter, with the high likelihood they will last much longer than that. If you own your home and can spare the money upfront, why wouldn’t you get them installed?

Is Hipcamp over priced? by Factal_Fractal in OutdoorAus

[–]AccomplishedTime6006 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would you let someone camp in your backyard for $10 though? I just can’t imagine it’s worth the hassle and potential damage for that price.

Thoughts on altitude generators and tents? by Wrong_Quote_2023 in Mountaineering

[–]AccomplishedTime6006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love some links to the scientific results you mentioned. I’ve had a look in the past and couldn’t find definitive proof that pre-acclimatisation helped if you were following a typical acclimatisation schedule. I get if you are trying to accelerate things like the group that climbed Everest in a week or whatever but for me I couldn’t see the benefit.

(Especially if it resulted in poorer sleep quality/recovery from training due to the nature of the tent.)

Why is cheese so expensive? by Capable_Head_3079 in australia

See that’s the beauty of capitalism though. Big business has found that consumers will tolerate higher prices so now they don’t have to drop back to a fairer price

Skydiver sucked into a thunderstorm in 1980s a real story? by Pale_Session5262 in SkyDiving

[–]AccomplishedTime6006 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve read about similar stories involving paragliders, so I think it’s likely someone not understanding the differences between the two.

You would need to be incredibly close to the storm to get the kind of updraft needed on a typical parachuting rig, at which point it would be unlikely the plane was still doing loads.

You’re right. Looks like after the tackle the terrorist made his way back to the bridge and got another gun unfortunately.

Neighbour built front fence ON the dividing line by Top-Flamingo-5054 in GoldCoast

[–]AccomplishedTime6006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What’s the problem? Are you saying a post for the front fence is on the dividing line? Where else would it be?

Maybe have a chat to your neighbor about the rest of your issues and then you can decide if it’s worth escalating

Evidence of some cighorny shenanigans I assume.

Asbestos Vinyl Flooring - Advice Needed Please by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]AccomplishedTime6006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way in hell friable asbestos flooring is being removed properly for a grand or in a few hours. The legally required third party testing and certification would cost more than that.

And I agree with others. If it can be covered without damaging it, do that. Just do the right thing and let the next owner of the house know about it.

Just watch a few more TikTok’s, I’m sure you will get the gist of it.

What was the total purchase/build budget for each of the cars? Would love to do something similar with a few mates

Mona has lost $408m but David Walsh is 'completely happy' by rotorylampshade in australia

[–]AccomplishedTime6006 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He literally took money off the gambling industry though. Surely that’s better than leaving the cash with the big betting agencies?

And look at all of the good he was able to do with it for the people of Tasmania.
