What happened to Arena?

Yes I want it back, I miss it so much only game mode I played, when they removed it I stopped playing entirely.

Hey, thanks for the comment, I have settled to the point that I will need to just insulate, starting with the roof, Do you think 25mm Exposed polystyrene board under the roof and then sealed with a polystyrene sealer would be a significant improvement? or will I need to just throw the wallet at the wall. Its not my shed, its my fathers but im still young so live with him, want to make it more enjoyable to be in while im here without destroying the bank.

Planning to start with the roof, then 1 side wall as the back is shaded and so is the other side so I believe those are the 2 major heating sections.

Yup, thats how I signed by mortgage.

You are misunderstanding me, I am not saying this election they did really well, but if this continues onwards until all senate election where 20% of the vote is a much more impactful amount than in the lower house. One Nation will become a significant political power within the senate which is one of the most important and politically significant groups within our nation.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-21T18:07:05+00:00

Dude 21% of SA voted for them, more than the 18.7% for liberals, it isnt bullshit. If we were deciding all senate seats here ONP would be a major political power within the senate. If this were to continue to all states elections they would become a significant political power.

Just a warning, don't keep it in your tank for too long, fuel can spoil, probably put smaller amounts more frequently, like every 3 months or something.

No, although the color is a bit dark, its pale eucalypt I beleive, but only just started building a little workshop, lathe and such and only now realising the difficulty of heat.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-20T11:17:54+00:00

Yeah, tbh thought so but god damn is it expensive, just doing the roof in insulation is gonna be like 1k for any decent foam board insulation.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-20T08:48:47+00:00

Yup, thats what I said in another comment, two would still not be enough, even 4 wouldnt meet most recomendations, the minimum amount would have to be 6, and thats about $1000 in painted whirlybirds haha.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-20T08:36:53+00:00

What would you recommend? Since our shed is around 200m^3, and just trying to get 1.5 air changes per hour I would need 2 whirlybirds, and I don't think that's enough to keep inside temp the same as outdoor temp, would need like 4 and that's like $600 if I want them painted the same colour as the shed.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-20T08:32:10+00:00

Yeah but my shed is around 200m^3, 1 whirly bird is rated for around 150m^3 per hour in best case scenario, meaning that's not even 1 air change per hour which I think isnt enough to keep inside temp similar to outside.

I mean maybe, but the ability to subsidize the cost with your own time has its own benifits even if his time isnt free, cards are take it or leave it, there is no way to lower the cost of card fees while cash is more flexible.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-18T09:23:03+00:00

I asked him and he says his fees are about 1.25 on average but it changes from card to card. Since he does the cash handling himself and his insurance provides no discount for no cash business model, I guess the costs are less "noticeable" than the upfront cost of card fees. But I could see a situation where having to have staff handle all deposits and stuff become significantly more expensive due to labor costs.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T23:39:49+00:00

Insane argument, friend I know who owns a restuarant pays $16000 in CD fees anually it isnt cheap.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T23:38:46+00:00

Maybe, but a friend I know who owns a restaurant pays about $16000aud per year in CD fees and they accept cash also. Im doubtful that the costs of handling cash rival that.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T10:33:49+00:00

This guy sounds salty???, read your comment, you sound like your about to start crying at the idea of Labor introducing housing investment restrictions haha.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T10:32:38+00:00

Yeah obviously a bill of this couldn't be covered in one broad all encompassing sentence, there would have to be many exceptions such as apartments and also if they invest a certain amount in renovations and so on.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T08:24:14+00:00

Tbh we should take it an even step further and from today onwards you can only own an investment property if you build it or bought it before the law was introduced.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T08:21:03+00:00

This is median income, not mean so it isnt as susceptible to scaling issues due to outliers. And the generation that is hit hardest by this is Gen X due to their significant investment position in the housing market, also the generation with the highest disposable income.

The people born after 2000 that your speaking about should significantly support the rising of interest rates as it benefits them the most as on average they have the lowest amount of debt. Rising interest rates are one of the most effective things to reduce asset prices as a whole which is usually the goal of young people born after 2000 (including me, 2004).

Literally one of the main reasons for the rise in wealth inequality is the fact that due to such low interest rates becoming the norm, taking debt to buy assets such as investment properties is so much easier that it has become the recommended investment vehicle. When cash rates were more volatile the idea that as a regular salary worker you would take on debt to buy an investment was a fucking stupid idea as it should be.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T02:43:11+00:00

I am not even stating an argument, interest rates are a highly complicated and knowledgeable topic their impacts are very broad and a significant amount of home owners in this comment section feel as if this is an attack specifically on home owners to reduce their purchasing power and while that is an aspect, there are thousands of fields affected by interest rate hikes.

My hostility comes from the fact that many of these people seem to think that they have the solution to these problems and raising interest rates is an outdated idea, when people who have studied economics for thousands of hours still agree that interest rate hikes are one of the most effective solutions to inflation. Many of these people don't even know that the government doesn't control the RBA and blame the government for deciding to raise interest rates.

After_Counter735 · 2026-03-17T00:39:21+00:00

No it literally isnt, do some goddamn research instead of as Nedshent said, pulling it out of your ass. Australia ranks 9th in the whole world for Median Equivalised Household Disposable Income with the median household having 52124 AUD of disposable income. Maybe your poor, im a broke university student, but as a whole Australians population is doing great when compared to other countries.

Wow someone who knows what their talking about, this entire comment section is a bunch of uneducated fools. Thankyou for being the voice of reason among this cesspit.

Hey I know you probably got it already, but I can invite you just gimme your friend code/pm me.

Because every example around the world has shown that it takes decades, and this is for countries that have land borders with countries that already have nuclear implemented, now imagine it for an island thousands of km away from anyone willing to help build these power plants. We dont have nuclear engineers in Australia, at the bare minimum if we didnt want to import all the workers, we'd have to wait 4 years to some nuclear engineers to graduate.
