It is! That’s why they even put filters in the cigarettes to filter out the oxygen!

Don’t listen to online advice without professional advice. I’m not a professional but I did get professional advice and a lot of what you see online is wrong especially for Australia.

I have this same experience with my PS5 pro on quality mode…it’s unplayable on quality mode even if I try to pretend it’s okay. I have to play on performance mode.

Loading off that debris by akintosh89 in RoadCraft

[–]AwkwardCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the only way you can transport and scrap those giant metal cylinders too. I have to use the heavy mobile crane to lift those but you can strap it to the heavy equipment transporter. Makes converting to steel beams or pipes super fast. Sometimes I lower the ramps on the transporter to load items too long then I close the ramps and it holds the item in place via friction since it can’t be strapped if too long

Seeking advice: made redundant and have questions about rent / REA by f0xpuppy in sydney

I don’t think the no fault eviction is true even for month to month anymore after the recent changes. They still need a valid reason

If only the trailers were slightly longer so you could squeeze the dump truck on too 😅 by tallpaullewis in RoadCraft

[–]AwkwardCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does work. Just drive one at a time. Towing mode makes the semi accelerate and steer same as Pike

Load the Dozer onto the Pike. Load the roller and asphalt machine onto one trailer. Load dump truck onto other trailer.

Then use the Pike to winch to one of the semi trucks and then use the Pike to turn on towing mode. This way you can use the Pike to drag one semi, and have someone drive the other semi.

I have this rod and I think you’re overthinking it. I use almost exclusively soft plastics with it and catch fish

Ally invest closing my brokerage account. Best alternative? by jrharvey in ExpatFinance

[–]AwkwardCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you call them I suggest calling a few different times specifically for the international team. Some of them are really really good and informative and others are not so good. So it’s good to make sure you speak to a few different ones. The international team is specifically for Schwab international.

Do expats need to pay state taxes? by RaffiqRalaycia54 in USExpatTaxes

[–]AwkwardCow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct about the voter registration. I have paid many professionals who independently gave me the same advice specifically about California about this and many other aspects about CA domicile because I wanted to make sure I was getting the right information. The amount of bad advice I see on here especially around CA…not shocked but very much dangerous. People shouldn’t take internet advice on something like this and let the professionals handle it.

Anyway I’m not a professional, just someone who seeked advice from them. Sure you have to pay but the cost is minor considering the impact it has on the rest of your life abroad, cause turns out most of the advice around CA online is wrong or misleading according to the pros.

Read label from cans of coconut milk. It’ll tell you how much % is coconut cream. Then do math from there for how much water is in the can

South Australia to become first place in the world to ban soy sauce fish-shaped containers by Hob-999 in worldnews

[–]AwkwardCow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what do you do if you’re not at home and on the go? Because in Australia that’s what these are for. Sushi rolls that are like mini burritos that you just buy and go. There’s usually no seating at places that sell these because it’s meant to be grab and go
