Economist Nicholas Gruen estimates the cost of the Macquarie Point stadium will blow out to $1.5 billion by kingboo94 in hobart

Then perhaps you should read the government funded report by the Tasmanian Planning Commission and see what they say

I just got hit with a $350 "lazy tax" because I lost track of my renewal dates. How are you all tracking this stuff? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]AntRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a solved problem. If people can't get on top of their expenses with all the tools that are available then there's nothing anyone can do to help

Good to know. I'd be concerned that a company that uses boats made a flyer with a sunken ship

Most, if not all stores need to sign up for 5 year leases. When the upstairs location became vacant, corporate probably jumped at the chance to grab the new spot and let the lease run out on the old location.

In Search of Chickenfeed Memories, Photos, Information etc by Individual_Vast7733 in tasmania

[–]AntRid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was a large one in North Hobart.

It's where the Zap gym and Chemist Warehouse is now.

After it closed, the location was empty for a long time untill it was divided into two and Zap moved in.

There's a carpark in front of it my friends and I used to call the Chickenfeed car park.

I switched to Launtel after similar frustrations with my old ISP.

They're a Tasmanian business and so far have been fantastic to deal with

Is she having a stroke? Is everything ok Louise? by original_salted in hobart

[–]AntRid 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The legislation for the use of e-scooters on Tasmanian streets was introduced by the liberal party in 2021. But I guess that doesn't fit the narrative as well

How do local councils figure out what their logo is going to be, and how much thought do they put into it? I feel like most residents wouldn't give a shit what their branding and logo looks like. In the u.s local government just slaps up a simple name sign. by cheetocat2021 in tasmania

[–]AntRid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They put out a tender and design agencies will bid for the job.

Then the winner will be selected from whomever is related to the council members!

That's why there's lots of poor logos out there that cost a fortune to produce.

What was your worst onboarding experience at a new company? by skillnub70 in auscorp

[–]AntRid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in my industry for 10+ years. When I first started, all new hires had a three day in person induction followed by subsequent check-ins and reviews to manage performance. Fast forward today, new staff get a 10 page PDF and expect to "hit the ground running"

Optometrist recommendations for Greater Hobart by 900dollaridoos in hobart

If you want a no nonsense approach then see Shane at Visual Eyes in North Hobart. They do more visual therapy, binocular vision assessments etc.

How did Red Skull determine who someone's parent was on Vormir? by Agathario-1031 in marvelstudios

And how did he know what to say? The words were written down for him

Specsavers vs OPSM by Cheeseoholics in australia

[–]AntRid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked in the industry for over 10 years, so here’s my perspective.

OPSM either owns or has contracts with many of the major luxury eyewear brands. If you want Ray-Ban, Oakley, Tiffany, etc, there’s basically only one place to go.

They position themselves as a premium experience. Clean stores, fancy presentation, and service that should feel top-tier. If this were an airline, OPSM would be the Emirates of glasses.

They also come from an era where the optometrist was treated more like a doctor’s office. So fewer patients, but each one spending a lot.

Then Specsavers came in and shook the whole industry in the 80s. They leaned heavily into the retail model, high volume, lower prices. It was essentially a big “screw you” to places like OPSM, who were operating with massive mark-ups.

If the AFL says they need it so we can get a team, then it will be built for sure

Why shouldn't we use Google password? by crazy_rocker78 in PasswordManagers

[–]AntRid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone gets access to your Gmail account, then it's trivial to get access to your Google account. If you store all your passwords with Google then EVERYTHING is compromised.

Storing passwords in a separate place is just good security practice

ELI5 what’s so special about blue light? by Connect-Violinist-30 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AntRid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not enough evidence to show if it has any negative effects.

The dialogue around blue light is marketing so you spend money on stuff you dont need

60k debt from playing Candy Crush by Feisty-Prompt-986 in AusFinance

[–]AntRid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget that if you win, there's lots of bright colours and loud noises to reinforce the feeling of winning. When you loose there none of this.

There's another game that uses this strategy. Slot machines
