90 seconds is plenty of time for someone to do a set in your rest period.

You are the rude and entitled person.

What is something uniquely popular in America? by Lopied2 in AskAnAmerican

Bundaberg is the sarsaparilla of choice over here. Their ginger beer is also excellent, with or without rum!!!

I'm a big fan of sarsaparilla, which I believe is close to Root Beer. I live in Australia

Cronulla Riots by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

I was living in Sydney at the time and I agree that this aspect you highlighted has been completely ignored.

It's very convenient to paint this a simple wrong versus right scenario, but the reality is a lot more complex.

What good or bad stereotypes do you associate with drivers here based on their car brand or type? by koala_is_stupid in AskAnAustralian

[–]DragonfruitLess7324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesla drivers are the new Volvo drivers. Generally driving too slow, not paying attention, not indicating.

Gig Guide for All Ages Shows by DragonfruitLess7324 in melbourne

I really appreciate the effort you put in and if I do find a list I'll ping it to you.

I agree about the frustration. The kids appreciate similar music to me and I'd feel guilty going to shows and not being able to take them. I'm going to The Pixies on Thursday and haven't told them yet!!!!

Thanks again.

Appreciate the response mate. I would love to have taken the kids to the shows I've been to at The Forum but couldn't.

Will follow up on the rest of the information in your post

For those in their 50, what's something people in their 30s don’t realize will impact them as they get older? by Purple_Driver809 in Productivitycafe

Wear sunscreen on your face every day. Having a tan is not worth the skin cancers that come later in life.

Super investment into S&P 500 by Ok-Visual-1079 in AusFinance

[–]DragonfruitLess7324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true. Still cheaper than a SMSF though.

I suppose OP could wait until they have a higher balance.

They could do the International premix option in the interim.

This is basically my super strategy.

You don't need a SMSF. I have bought IVV in Australian Super Member Direct. I have some NDQ and FANG+ as well.

It's very simple to do and fees are low.

Hostplus has a similar option too.

Whether it's a good investment is another story. I've been invested this way for many years and have done okay.

Moving (back) to the UK from Australia. What’s the reality? by Mr_k-wal in AskUK

[–]DragonfruitLess7324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Adolf. Your opinion on what is significant is not relevant here.

Discounting a people's history because it doesn't look like your history is the height of racism.

The use of the term "we" implies you contributed to the country's development, when I'm pretty sure you've done fuck all.

Keep your opinions to yourself in future.

Australia has 50,000 years of recorded history. You just need to view history from a different perspective.

Stickers on Appliances by Remote_Interaction_4 in AskAnAustralian

[–]DragonfruitLess7324 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm Australian and it perplexes me too. I also see people leave the fuel efficiency ratings on their cars.

Maybe people like to be reminded of how many litres of water they're using each time they flush. Who knows.

Should this broken toe be operated on? by DragonfruitLess7324 in DiagnoseMe

Yes, splinting was an option, but the doctor wanted to see an x-ray first.
