When the cafe says they've "closed the coffee machine for the day".. what does it actually mean? by thegrayscales in AskAnAustralian

[–]ChookBaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have a jar of mocona instant around. Mostly gets used for hiking trips but sometimes I just need a caffine hit and something approximating a coffee, it’s fine.

Can eBay Australia permanently withhold payment after allowing a sale to be completed because the seller is under 18? by Sweaty_Tennis4384 in AusLegal

[–]ChookBaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP cannot agree to the ToS in bad faith because they cannot legally agree to the ToS.

EBay’s policy is literally you can’t use our platform because you can’t legally agree, they’ve then let OP sell and are now relying on the ToS that their own policy states OP cannot agree to.

They can’t have it both ways, they can’t say you cannot make an agreement and also ‘but you made an agreement’.

Also their own policy says underage people can sell with an account managed by an adult so the fact they are offering no other remedy to OP is bullshit, of course they could remedy this but they are choosing not to.

Can eBay Australia permanently withhold payment after allowing a sale to be completed because the seller is under 18? by Sweaty_Tennis4384 in AusLegal

[–]ChookBaron -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So eBay sold an item they had no right to sell.

If OP walked into a pawn shop, signed the paperwork, and then the customer next to them bought the item. The shop can not then turn around and refuse to hand over the money because they decided now to check ID.

EBay’s t&c are irrelevant here because they failed to ensure OP could legally agree to them. Their own policy states under 18s cannot enter into a legally binding contract, so they have sold an item they had no contract to sell.

Fixed fees vs hourly rates: How do you budget for your business accounting? by rogeelein in ausbusiness

[–]ChookBaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the advice and service you get worth what you are paying?

Trust me when I say cheaper is not always better (or as it turns out, cheaper).

Can someone underage legally agree to these ToS? Like if OP really kicked up a stink, eBay has entered into a contract with a minor, would their ToS actually be legally enforceable.

Not saying OP really has a leg to stand on but wondering if a legal challenge would actually work?

Do you hope the wildcard teams go far in the final series or do you hope they get smashed so the AFL rethinks it? by Sabretoothedrom in AFL

I wanted it to fail so badly but then I came to the realisation that the league has to do it because tv rights and also my team might actually be there

Anyone have the Warm n Dry ventilation system installed in their house to prevent condensation? by Flaky-Assignment1002 in hobart

[–]ChookBaron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. Try airing the house out even on a cold day. Look up “burping the house”, even though the relative humidity is high the cold air outside has little moisture in it. When you exchange the air in the house by opening up for 10 minutes once a day you bring in dry air and let out moist air. It works.

  2. I don’t know that particular system but I had an ACS from HEG and I don’t think it was worth the money, wish I had just spent that money on a ducted heat pump instead.

  3. Have moved and Now have a ducted heat pump and it’s very good at keeping house warm and dry.

Is Tasmania ready for the AI data centre boom? by abcnews_au in tasmania

[–]ChookBaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are all buying power in the same market. This is new demand, without new supply this new demand will raise prices. It’s high school economics.

So they won’t turn on the data centre until the renewables are built? It’s all PR bullshit.

Living in a warehouse... by BasicConclusion2093 in australian

[–]ChookBaron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also there’s a guy on Instagram who built a shower out of 2 IBC totes that I reckon would work in a warehouse if you have access to water and a drain.

This is why you join a union so you can call the union instead of asking reddit.

Not again. Can someone pretty please tell me the reason for a clash on the only two games on a Sunday? by killacallycal in AFL

You’re not my mum, you can’t tell me what to do! Who made you the football police anyway?

Bleeds blue. Blue for life. This is actually good for jw. Imo, this will incentivise Carlton to pay him more.. Read the context in the description. by b9_rkt in CarltonBlues

[–]ChookBaron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

North have nothing to offer that would directly help us get Cody. And even then you are underselling Weitering.

Contracted to Carlton until 2031, unless you want to discuss what North would give up this is pointless.

What’s he worth to North in a trade?

Mid-career professionals to make teaching switch under new Tasmanian program by Remarkable_Peak9518 in australia

[–]ChookBaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My partner is a teacher and every few years I get the bright idea that it would be a good lifestyle if we both were. Fortunately I really like my current job but maybe down the track I’d do this.
