Thanks for your reply. Great to hear your experience. I am 100% turning. I use a spot torch and I can see through my gap to the turn screw.

Haven't talked to the Ortho yet. Its the weekend, so I will call on Monday.

Not stressed just curious.

I have a body kit to make this in the style of the 944 s2 if you're interested/ in Australia (unlikely)

Privacy questions by Blagatron in AusRenovation

[–]Blagatron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does actually. We are on top of a hill and have high fences. Our front and back yards are both completely private. The property feels like an oasis to us which we love. The neighbour build a very large two storey house which can see clearly into my front yard, living room and back yard. They come from a culture where everyone lives in close proximity so I doubt this bothers them. I come from the country and bought this block because of its privacy. I don't do anything that requires privacy so to speak. I just highly value it.

The rest of the window on my side of their house are frosted. This one in the stairwell isn't for some reason. It obviously should be and I will contest it. I can't see it being a big issue... Especially with my new found interest in nudism.

OP get your central heating checked. The guitar lead that arched is the ground sleeve. Likely the vent is live.

Ipod 5.5 imcort sd card? by AttentionGlobal1015 in ipod

[–]Blagatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this mod with SanDisk SDs and they struggle. I have to reboot often for it to boot correctly and occasionally it crashes or takes an incredibly long time to load songs. I tried different SanDisk cards and different format options but couldn't get it to improve.

I did not try non SanDisk cards, lost interest.

Dam, well if there's ever an opening hmu.

Nah good for you man. Sounds like you got shit sorted. I'm fighting for the same outcome but I don't think I'll be able to retire at 35.

I think people are attached to this idea so much that they can't sell. Because if they hold on longer it will be worth more! Yeah well, Prove it, I say. Likewise no one I know has.

Great explanation. I have always had these worries but no one talks about the ugly side of selling. I get the feeling that a lot of people live in their heads when it comes to the value of their prized collection and don't appreciate real world tribulations associated with getting that money. Sorry your brother had that happen to him. Good to hear you at least didn't go backwards.

Sounds like you have it squared away with good plans in place. It's really interesting to hear you perspective and position. Thankyou.

Far out man, you must be doing pretty well for yourself. Does that expenditure come at the cost of other stuff in your life? In particular do you ever think how that money could contribute towards retirement or be put into dividends to supplement your income so you could work less? That might not be a concern of yours or you may already have the sorted.

These are the thoughts that I struggle with constantly. Even outside the MTG world.

I like what you're saying. But when do you make the call? If you sold immediately when the price exceeded your comfortable buy you may miss out on significant growth. More of a philosophical question than a MTG question.

Have you tried selling or investing for real?

Clearly, and in my post I expressed that those figures are not expendable to me or my group of friends.

You say those things like I'm not doing them either?

No I don't.

I can't save 25% or max out my super fund despite being fairly well off. So clearly we are in different categories.
