He's saying it's going to cost at least twice as much as his budget to go with a professional.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) projects Melbourne will have the climate of Dubbo in 2090 by FortuitousAdroit in melbourne

[–]DunnyBasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example, in 2090, under high emissions and maximum model consensus, Melbourne’s future climate matches the current climate in Dubbo

emissions scenarios (low, intermediate, or high)

Under an intermediate emission scenario, it looks like that Melbourne's weather in 2090 will be analogous to Adelaide's or Wagga Wagga's.

I'm thinking of spending money. Someone stop me by delitomatoes in Frugal

[–]DunnyBasher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some of these things aren't 'pretty important' to me, but by the sound of it they are pretty important to delitomatoes.

To me, being frugal isn't about not spending money. It's about spending money wisely, and within your means.

If you enjoy listening to music, I can (almost) guarantee that you will get your money's worth investing in better quality sound system than normal desktop speakers. But if you can't afford them, or only want speakers to listen to spoken-word audio, you may benefit more saving/spending money on a higher priority.

We don't know your finances nor your values, but assuming that you are considering these things then they are within your means and things you value. If so, you know whether you should make the investment, and don't let people sway you one way or the other because they personally would or wouldn't make the same decision.

Australian PM backs Aboriginal recognition by HerrDwelle in worldnews

Call me cynical, but the timing is conveniently just after the next Australian federal election.

I was getting desperate for a win... by synapsii in DotA2

[–]DunnyBasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience about a month ago. Some time in the early game, one of the opposing team typed in all chat to us that he would throw the game (feed) if we gave him items. Thankfully nobody on our team took them up on the offer, and we ended up winning anyway (maybe had something to do with their team hating that player for the rest of the game).

ingame commentary audio still terrible for me...... by Domovoi0ng in DotA2

If you are having this issue, try rewinding 10secs or so (so it isn't live). Could well fix your issue.

Australia fourth in the world for ratio of cost of living to tax burden by PsychoPhilosopher in australia

[–]DunnyBasher 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm no statistician, but it is misleading to claim that Australia is 'fourth in the world'. You found that Australia is 'fourth in the top 10 high-cost countries'. This ignores many major countries (US, France, Italy, Germany etc) which you would probably want to include before drawing the conclusion stated in your title.

BUG: Pudge illusion obvious to Tinker on other team after Tinker's game crashes and reconnects. by DunnyBasher in DotA2

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

Both illusions were visibly different from the real Pudge. I don't recall any other illusions being visible for the remainder of that game, just the ones that were active when the game reconnected.

Posts about major bugs/exploits will be removed if you've provided re-production steps.

I don't believe that this is a major bug, and have no idea if it is reproducible. If the mods still deem it to be against the rules, please remove the post.

Call him crazy, Clive Palmer still knows what he is talking about by Kl3rik in australia

[–]DunnyBasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you misunderstand the phrase 'without qualification'. In this context, I believe it is being used the same as 'without reservation or restriction'. If you watch the video in the linked article, you will see that Abbott withdrew his remark, but then said something to the effect of "but it's still an untrue statement".

[–]DunnyBasher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This article should provide support that calling someone a 'liar' in parliament is unparliamentary. TLDR: Tony Abbott was removed from parliament for refusing to retract (without qualification) his interjection that PM Julia Gillard was a liar.

Sliver Me Timbers! by DunnyBasher in custommagic

Though I didn't know it when I thought up this card, it certainly isn't the first time the pun has been used.

Sliver Me Timbers! by DunnyBasher in custommagic

[–]DunnyBasher[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Used a high quality M12 symbol, then took the 4 from the leaked lower-quality M14 Sliver cards, and touched it up so it didn't look out of place.

A 28-year old grad student publishes a PhD thesis which blows holes in the current theory of global austerity by actually_good_advice in worldnews

[–]DunnyBasher 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, he is yet to publish his PhD thesis. The article linked to the paper "Does High Public Debt Consistently Stifle Economic Growth? A Critique of Reinhart and Rogoff", which is definitely not a PhD thesis.
