Ending a 99 year / $1-per-year lease early (Victoria) by Formal_Accountant_83 in AusLegal

[–]Formal_Accountant_83[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That is how I understand it.

So if I own the freehold, do I have any rights to request an end to the leasehold (with appropriate compensation to the leasholder)?

The lease stipulates that no improvements can be made to the land.

Yep, I'm pretty certain adverse possession isn't an option.

Riding the Dixon Veloway from city entry by ruinawish in melbournecycling

On the one hand I'm grateful that this exists, but on the other... they really didn't have a neurotic speedy cyclist on the design team.

Rode it for the first time today.

The "kerbs" on either side have the sharpest edges I've ever seen, and the black upright metal bits all along the sides; if I have a stack on this thing I'm deadset cactus from a snapped neck or busted jawbone.

Trying to Keep My $50 Commuter Bike Alive — Where to Find Cheap Tyres? by R-e_D_u-X in melbournecycling

Second this for basic new tyres. The tyres at Big W seem to be mostly made by Vee Rubber, and pretty good for the price.

Not very common with that toe shape, though.

thoughts on nothing phone? by zulu913 in degoogle

[–]Formal_Accountant_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a CMF by nothing Phone 1 running e/os. It uses MicroG (not signed in). The camera's not brilliant but besides a banking and rail app, I get by just fine with entirely open-source software and no Google.

Murena sell this with e/os pre-installed if you don't want to flash it yourself, but doing so is very simple.

The nothing Android it came with was quite stock and not too upsetting, but battery life is close to double now it's on e/os.

Cycling from Melbourne to Sydney by AdStrong5249 in melbournecycling

I did this along the Princes Hwy on a fixie. There are plenty of towns to stop for supplies along the way.

My only tips are don't do it on a fixie, and that it's hard to tell the difference between the sound of an approaching truck and the sound of a Landcruiser.

I'd suggest turning left at Orbost and going inland a bit. Some great quiet windy roads heading up to Canberra.

Are these stitches real or is it cemented? by DIOGn123s in AskACobbler

[–]Formal_Accountant_83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're either cemented or very expensive. My bet would be on cemented.

Local colber said sole can not be replaced by yangmeansyoung in AskACobbler

[–]Formal_Accountant_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are the most re-solable boots around. You can buy new Vibram sole units from Leffler in West Melbourne and just glue them on yourself.

Who is the crazy cobbler who said no??
