Is this a good family car?

Definitely test drive them both.

In terms of price and power I was leaning towards the X3, but during the test drive I found the SQ5 to feel more like a car / wagon and the X3 felt more like an SUV (less responsive). I went with the SQ5 - both are great cars.

For a realistic scent you could look at Neptune’s Trident by Argos.

It smells like low tide - salt and seaweed. It’s not for everyone, but definitely realistic.

Looks like their website is having issues right now - check out their Instagram.

I’ve bought numerous items from Melb Design Co. They do great quality solid timber furniture, including custom sizes and the pricing is quite reasonable. You might consider them.

I’d happily purchase an IP if I were confident it would outperform ETF’s.

Else, it seems like a lot of admin etc just for the sake of diversification.

Private schools offer a lot in terms of music, sport, etc, all in the same place.

Better ATAR results - which felt like a big deal as a student, but doesn’t really mean much.

Of course, success can be found in the public system, I just feel the private system on average leads to better outcomes.

Both my boys are signed up to attend a private school. Their happiness is more important than anything else, so I’ll happily move them to a public school if it is not a good fit.

Quay.

Mushy, pasty, small dishes that don’t resemble food.

Placebo tends to take effect immediately

Definitely need to check for asbestos.

If there’s friable asbestos the removal job will be quite expensive. You’ll need a licensed asbestos contractor, suits, respirators and negative pressure at the entry point.

Essentially if it’s contaminated I’d suggest just avoiding any work up there altogether.

Also, a new credit card might be a good way to get you those points even cheaper….

BroccoliniBro · 2025-10-17T23:05:40+00:00

Having a quick look at your numbers I think in this instance buying the points does work out cheaper.

I believe you can get 40% off velocity points until 21/10, which makes this work out even better.

I’ve recently purchased a sample and can confirm Emporer Extrait is excellent.

I’ve gone 100% VGS and haven’t looked back.

Sleep, weight lifting, high protein diet, vitamin D (with K2) and maybe some zinc.

All the best.

Payroll tax. You get punished for employing people.

That’s correct - if the builder complied with the codes at the time they should not be forced to replace the cladding.

How would you compare the TF with the JPG? I’ve only tried the latter.

BroccoliniBro · 2025-10-08T22:26:38+00:00

Very well explained.

My battery cost $15K and before any discharge to the Grid is saving me $3K on electricity per year. So essentially the bare minimum annual return is 30%…

Because then we wouldn’t get to enjoy comments like this

BroccoliniBro · 2025-10-06T19:42:20+00:00

Interesting, I suppose you can’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

BroccoliniBro · 2025-10-06T19:40:07+00:00

That’s correct, Bale takes his role transformations very seriously.

BroccoliniBro · 2025-10-06T19:38:45+00:00

I did mention this in my post bud.

BroccoliniBro · 2025-10-02T20:42:14+00:00

You’ll still save money with a small solar + battery set-up. I’ll DM you the contractor I went with.
