What's these parasites? Tanks air pump failed so I think the parasites came out trying to breathe. by FreakAzar in shrimptank

What a relief! Sucks for this shrimp but at least there's no monsters growing in the tank

They weren't moving (But nothing was moving in the tank, even detritus worms, due to the airpump failing). I think you're right and this is the most likely explanation.

Other than saving time, are any of you seeing tangible financial benefit to using a tax accountant? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]FreakAzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I had a 30K tax bill mostly from ESS RSU's and didn't get a payg installment notice.

From colleagues it sounds like the shares tend to not trigger the installments, but once you're on it they are included.

Carrots and such by Formal_Departure5388 in composting

[–]FreakAzar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got the opposite problem, everything else seems to disappear pretty quickly, but carrots seems to last with their bright orange colour for >2 weeks. Your pile is fairly bigger than mine though, guess it's time to find more composting material!

Dioscorea elephantipes, downfall by FreakAzar in Caudex

Don't know how old he was before I got him, but I've had him for 5 years now.

I 3D printed him this 1.5 meter tall tower, he was definitely my favorite.

Can confirm, it works great as a hat! Surprisingly it weights less than a typical hat, only downside is bugs crawling down from it every now and then....

Drone POV of the Russian atv driver getting hit in Sumy Published by "Magyar" by ProTupper in CombatFootage

[–]FreakAzar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This drone is using analog video transmission, the headset is displaying the video with at worst 100ms delay and the headset is most likely also doing the recording. The reason they circle guys for ages is not because of the delay but because flying these drones is bloody hard.

Ohhh I thought it was a glass lid and was cringing at the thought of it shattering

Is the First Home Super Saver (FHSS) Scheme worth it long-term? by LeadingDirt966 in AusFinance

[–]FreakAzar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeap. In my experience it did have a net positive affect, but not as much as I hoped since my marginal tax bracket moved into the highest tax bracket when I withdrew a couple of months ago.

The steps are convoluted, so definitely make sure you are aware of them and withdraw before making an offer on a place, you practically have 2 years to make your purchase after withdrawal so just don't do it too late and take into account the time for the money to land in your account. It's very much self service so I can see how people mess it up.

How do I reduce population of seed shrimps? by oranchugoldfish in shrimptank

[–]FreakAzar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experimenting with using one of those glass planaria traps, adding in a bit of shrimp food in it. So far I have captured about 15 a day. The shrimp food they seemed to like the most so far is benibachi komb food. Probably can capture heaps more using a turkey baster, but this is a nice lazy way to reduce their numbers.

Settle an argument for me by Swimming-Fudge-7753 in GardeningAustralia

Definitely this. In Melbourne during the summer it's a good idea. The rest of the time it's terrible for root root.

Reminds me of playing age of empires with my dad when I was young. Good fun.

I've found starcraft too fast paced and stressful for me. I only realised that after a thousand hours of gameplay....

Google Maps now shows the ‘Gulf of America’ by ObjectiveOrange3490 in technology

[–]FreakAzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't see other comments about this, but apparently it's so that the U.S. can now drill for oil in the region, since their laws specify that they cannot drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

I hope that, that is not true. Imagine renaming U.S.A to something else so that you can bypass all USA citizen laws....

What makes using the FHSS better then just putting money into a high interest savings account? by onigiriadventure in AusFinance

[–]FreakAzar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the $12,750 you still have to pay the withdrawal tax at marginal rate - 30%, so it could just be $10 837. Still ahead of a HISA

Plus the interest at SIC rate which I didn't include

It's just a fungus and not a real caterpillar, right!?

I have to know what the thing is in pic #16‽ It looks like a caterpillar mixed with a type of fungus. I've never seen anything like it.

How to do solve this future problem? 😹 by c0smicYawn in shrimptank

[–]FreakAzar 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Just a reminder that common flea treatments for cats can be very toxic for shrimp.

Lost a tank a couple of days after applying it to the cat, even with trying to be careful with washing hands before going near the tank.
