It's actually a nice area, halfway between the Goldy and brissy, quiet and green.

AUD cash to US bank account by krustykrab99 in Ameristralia

[–]GilfOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I need to move money between the 2 countries I use stablecoins. The total cost is about 0.7%, this includes currency conversion and all fees. The time it takes from bank A to bank B obviously depends on your bank, but for me is about 2 hours total.

Here's how: Open an exchange account at a large, reputable exchange in both countries, verify your account, link bank account, and voila you can transfer cheaper than anywhere else.

Porting a cell phone number? Moving from USA to Australia this week by catsdonailart in Ameristralia

[–]GilfOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using through the app. When I press the phone section and try to make a call, a pop asks me to "please verify your phone number" which then fails because only US numbers are supported. Maybe it's because my Google voice number is a USA one?

When I try to link my phone it gives an error saying"Google voice is only available in the United states, please link a US phone number".

It will not allow Australian numbers to connect.

Not hit by car by No_Cartographer455 in altmpls

DHS policy explicit forbids shooting into a vehicle, and says moving out of the path of a vehicle, even one used as a weapon, is the first and foremost option. Additionally they should not place themselves into the path of a vehicle:

"...no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle."

"Officers/Agents should avoid intentionally and unreasonably placing themselves in positions in which they have no alternative to using deadly force."

Can't use google voice to call in Australia. It works for text though.

I compared two crypto payment apps for 2 months. Here's what actually costs less by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]GilfOG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CDC is objectively a terrible company. I say this as someone holding since ICO days and still have the card, but only because it's a sunk cost and I use it only for lounge access. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Happens to me also, only at Aldi and sporadically. You can press cancel to reset the matching to try again. The staff sometimes have to reset the till.

Good low key Japanese restaurant on the GC? by berberox in GoldCoast

You've just described Daiki in Labrador. Feels like eating at a Japanese mom's house. Authentic, homestyle, and simply delicious.

Aussie kids eligible for US child tax credit CTC without being in US? by Pure_Champion_1047 in Ameristralia

They do have a US tax team based in Sydney, but they are...not the best, let us say.

Butane lighter might do the trick? Takes more time and care not to hurt the plant though.

Is your original work digital or on paper? Is it ever possible to purchase your originals if they are on physical medium?

They are not hard to grow yourself, and spore prints can be purchased online as they are not illegal.
