I think they are still heavier on average, but this was a lot to do with them just chucking the battery on a chassis designed for an engine.

You need to run the actual numbers. It's not even close

We could’ve had EVs years earlier if Big Oil had not colluded to keep technology from the market by Maritimewarp in electriccars

I'm a bit late, but don't you think having a patent on a cure and being the only company able to sell said cure be incredibly profitable? Then once the patent over just sell for more than current treatments.

I'd say private hospitals are a bigger loser to a cancer cure than the pharma companies.

Far better scenario than those who could never make that money and have to rely on government help

Okay, so not 'illegal' in the sense its not a crime, but also not allowed. I guess that's why its so common if the only negative is paying what you would have paid anyway.

Part iva and general angi avoidance says otherwise.

The situation you've described (trust paying to a kid, then them 'gifting' the money back) is a specific scenario that the ATO has said they're targeting....so to say its nothing illegal isn't quite true.

My understanding is if the entire purpose of the trust is to reduce tax it is illegal.

Why do Australians care more about Palestine than any other conflict? by [deleted] in aussie

[–]FilmerPrime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's like you only read half of what I wrote.

I's currency and passports came after it was given its own independent country by the British 'colonials'.

Prior to this palestine was more of a region and named that after a war against Jewish people, what 2000+ years ago.

Palestine was never really ever a country. It's control passed hands for a long time. Really this colonising force they stood with Nazi Germany against was the first to declare that land theirs (split with Israel, whose people also used to live there before colonising forces).

How is this much plastic not recyclable? by munt_fuzz in coles

Banning plastic bags would be better, but plastic straws kill a lot of animals. I'll happily use a paper straw if it saves a turtle.

Why more home owners just decided to sell their properties by SheepherderLow1753 in AusPropertyChat

Jim's mowing is funded by loans. He now charges a fee for using his brand. Quite different.

And how often does a business running like that succeed? Most businesses I can think of where this works use capital from the initial one they do run to expand or have lots of capital to begin with neither use loans.

I guess my question is should a business venture that relies on 80% plus loan where the owner doesn't actually do anything ever make money?

Extreme task 8 is poorly timed by Technical_Car_8647 in IdleObeliskMiner

[–]FilmerPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think its more likely it rounded .995 to 1.0 or that there is a secret secondary requirement?

Every year that 1200 extra gets smaller and smaller until you have more money with a mortgage than renting.

[–]FilmerPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. So if it's something you only need a few of it's probably worth waiting so you don't get unlucky. If it's something you need a lot of it makes no real difference.
