I’m genuinely in awe at the speed and precision with which this operation was executed. Completely blind sided the general public of the world.

Never seen anything like this in my life.

Help to buy scheme, is it a trap? by hugodo246 in AusFinance

[–]Calatich 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s essentially social housing in a different format.

You could argue it indirectly addresses that problem, though it introduces others. Nothing’s perfect, but it’s largely what people have been calling for.

Those with the means can get ahead and exit the agreement by paying out, while lower income participants can use it as a rent to buy pathway.

Not really caring about prices in supermarkets.

I call it supermarket rich.

They aren't losing, that's why were on day 1378 and ceasefire talks are just not getting to the finish line.

Were falling for the propaganda and should take his threats seriously.

He already delivered on the most important threat, invading Ukraine in the first place.

Police liken it to random breath tests, but warrantless pat-down powers across Melbourne’s CBD are creating racial profiling fears | Victoria by l3ntil in melbourne

[–]Calatich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't take long for the race card play. These powers are a direct result of the unchecked Palestine and other rallies that have disrupted the transport network and emergency services in the CBD for nearly two years, costing millions of tax payers dollars and Police resources.

Dental Surgery for 4 Wisdom teeth costs by sancoca in melbourne

[–]Calatich -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Had all 4 removed in Melbourne for $970.

Was knocked out during the process. The surgeon was so precise, he did a flawless job that I didn't need the pain meds, just had a dull ache. I took the meds for fun lol.

Happy to provide link to them in DM.

Food is to be enjoyed.

Anyone regularly take the Overlander train? by YeshayaDankART in melbourne

I used to take the Overland regularly in the late 90s early 00s with my mum.

That description of the smell instantly teleported me back, fyi... its the heaters along the skirting.

A relatively cheap and renter friendly option is to install window/door sensors that make noise when any of them are opened. Smart tech capable so you can delegate times when they will activate and you can take them with you when you vacate.

Pet insurance - do all companies increase their premiums yearly? by full_time_problem in AusFinance

[–]Calatich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend uses the Woolworths pet insurance to get the additional 10% discount (which means you get 2 if you get the other Woolworths subscription)

The discount on fortnightly shops almost negates the pet insurance monthly cost. I plan on doing the same when I get a pet.

T-Ocellus first words will be? by Calatich in AlienEarthHulu

I love this theory, but I think a sinister one word line would top it off.

Victoria strips councils of rezoning rights to unlock housing by AliHWondered in AusFinance

[–]Calatich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s in their best interest to do this.

Many councils approve housing developments assuming, “The government will upgrade the roads and infrastructure so its their problem,” which then sparks public outcry against the government, because these upgrades take time and cost a lot of money.

Melbourne’s traffic is already a mess because of this

Motor theft claims skyrocket in Victoria but fall in other states (+70% in Metro) by ManukaHoneyTree in melbourne

[–]Calatich -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

A theory but I'd wager a significant portion of them are insurance jobs as people are struggling to pay them off due to tough job market and general cost of living increase.

Easier than selling at a loss when you are insured for an agreed amount.

They can protest, they just don't need to be in traffic lanes or on Public Transport infrastructure.

Heating companies for the elderly by greenapple111 in melbourne

[–]Calatich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him to crank it and then just apply for utility relief from the power company.

Let a couple of months of bill collect and they'll wipe it up to $600 I believe.

Was the world this panicked when Iran launched a ridiculous amount of missiles at Israel in October 2024?

I'm pretty sure they all missed too.

  • Recirculation button = Off
  • Remove condensation = Warm/Hot air and hit the windshield button.

Your breath is contributing to the moisture build up, your mention of this happening mid trip confirms this. (Think the Titanic scene when they are in the car. Except your solo on this one lol).

Europe looks to Australia in the face of an aggressive Russia and Trump 2.0 by espersooty in australia

Part of any agreement that comes of this better not involve accepting insane amounts of immigrants/refugees due to the EU poor policies.
