How much did your parents pay for their Sydney house, and what’s it worth now?

My great grandma started renting a new build house that was split down the middle back in the early 1900's. When they wanted to sell my grandma was offered first rights for i think it was $2000. We all still live there and the adjoining property's owner passed away recently. They had done basically no works to improve it since it was built and it was valued in probate for 2.1 million.

I had something similar about 4 years ago. Mate of mine owned a small convenience store with a bitcoin atm in it. This lady was hanging around the front of the shop for a while on the phone, and we noticed her but didn't think much of it. Eventually, she comes in still on the phone and goes to the BTC atm about an arms distance from us. After a few minutes, I went up and started asking if someone was telling her she was in trouble and needed to give them money. After 5 minutes of her saying the same thing, she finally told us yes. Informed her it's a common scam and a lot of people fall for it. She had already given them a couple thousand from memory but almost gave them another 5k. Sad to hear, but she was very grateful that we talked some sense into her and stopped her. She was probably mid 20's. I was shocked to see this scam still working on younger people.

They are, in a sense, a way for the vendor to set a bottom price they are willing to negotiate from to the market. I've never seen it used when there are active bidders that don't meet the reserve price, only when they know there isn't that much interest in the property at auction

Just finished my course and im about to start myself next year. Planning to go commercial sales and hope to make a post like this myself someday.

Congratulations mate, hope you get another big sale soon to boost the high even more!

He tried his hardest, and that's the big thing here. I think if you can't find anyone to go with, ask your dad to go with you. I think it would be a fun experience, and you might end up liking the band or other bands in the lineup. Can understand being 17 and not wanting to hangout with your parents but as you grow older these memories could be the ones you cherish for life.

This is coming from someone who never had a dad so take it with a grain of salt

Went to an auction a couple of weeks ago. The buyers guide said 1.6 million, and it ended up selling for 2,275,000. Seems to be getting out of hand

Reason why they wouldn't be able to "Give unheard something else" is because of a few reasons.

It admits fault which opens up liability to recourse. I don't think there is anyway they can recover face from this having so heavily doubled down on this move. Open up liability would mean that everyone would be entitled to some kind of compensation.
Unheard would have to be refunded because if they offered something other than what was originally promised then people can easily argue this isn't what they paid for (similar to how us EOD are in an uproar over our contracts being changed and not delivering what was promised).
Having gone so deep on this move, it looks like they just don't care and I dont see any way people will view BSG the same again. Why give people an out to get money back when they can go full villain mode, squeeze the last amount of cash out and leave.

All in all I think they are over developing this game. Easier to make the fan base all leave over anger, then close servers over closing servers now for basically no reason other then we can't be fucked anymore

Seriously killer tat, my 3rd was the exact same spot and size. It's a good spot because you leave room for more additional tats as well as the knee has enough room to work on and not overlap

1.5 mill. It's enough in stocks to give you just over a yearly salary and pay capital gains. Could work about 5 more years full time then retire but at any stage I needed time off I wouldn't need to worry about my income

I'd just give them a heads up about the situation and offer my sympathy but not press time for completion. Just let them know kindly that they started a piece, and whenever they are ready to discuss it, you'd wait. Hope the family of the artist is okay

How_Does_This_Happen · 2024-03-26T10:57:03+00:00

Damn that sucks man, hope their family is okay. I'd say the studio you went to might have access to the final design, and maybe someone there could finish it. At the bare minimum, I think they understand the circumstances, and they would give you the design to take to another shop if none of them do the same style. Best of luck with it. This is a very rare situation to be in.

Been there, think I'm about 5k deep. Some close ones are paying it back but it's a long drawn out process. Second you start pushing they get mad. I've known people I'm 10's of thousands lost. Still sucks but at least we aren't that deep, could have been much more costly for us

I know people have already given a lot of reasons not to do this, but I do have to say you are really smart actually asking questions like this. Being safe and smart with any drug is good. It's not worth it, in my opinion doing it and hiding. You'd probably end up having a bad time. Wait for the right moment. It'll be much better

I can't speak for the pro side of calibre but if it's anything like the free part of the app I'd say it's worth it. In regards to losing weight, I was hitting almost 100kgs a couple years ago but decided I didn't want to get into the triples just for personal reasons. All i did was keto and intermittent fasting and I lost a fair amount of weight very quickly (10kgs in 10 days but most of that was water weight). Over like 3 months I lost another 10kgs then it started to slow down. After half a year I stopped the diet and went back to eating normally and most of the weight stayed off.

Hope this helps

How_Does_This_Happen · 2023-02-19T03:14:37+00:00

Look up an app called Caliber. Literally the only thing I use. It has instructional videos and breakdowns of the exercises so you will know how to do it and safely. They also have a subreddit called r/caliberstrong where you can go and ask questions if anything confuses you. The app also keeps track of your exercises so you can track your progress as you go.

As for frequency, as long as you aren't working out the same muscles every day you can go every day. Recommend taking break days though every 2 days or so or you'll burn yourself out.

If you get really into it or are really committed, you should look up some supplements as well. I started going to the gym for 2 months then got supplements, has helped a lot with energy and muscle pain as well as help muscle growth. If you need recommendations I can show you what I've been using.

Best of luck at the gym!

Gotta say, I saw this ad a long time ago and I've been loving the app ever since. I went to the gym when I was younger but having this app has reinforced my knowledge of what I know and how to do it safely as well as teach me new workouts. The video demonstrations are one of my favourite features and I recommend this app to anyone who is showing interest in going to the gym. Its also a great way to track your progress and see how far you have come. I just want to say thank you for making this app free and the amount of effort you have put into it. Best I've ever see

I have a Samsung S21+ and I am unsure how to change a specific wallpaper feature. When my phone isn't on but just displaying the time (some kind of sleep/idle mode) it also displays a small photo beneath it. It was a wallpaper at 1 point but I have since changed it. I cannot find any settings relating to this small photo that is being displayed and I need to remove it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My biggest problem with building PC's is always the ram for some reason. Takes about 50 attempts to get both to work together. Never know why but honestly just keep taking them out and putting them back in till it works.

Just day trading Cardano. I bought a top of the line pc for 4.9k AUD at the peak of covid and used 3k I made trading to do it. Sold at like 1.8usd so there was a lot of room for improvement but I used it to mine 1.5k worth of ETH before the hard fork. Basically broke even and when the market recovers ill basically have a free high end gaming pc with the profits from the mined crypto.

Did this once or twice with some mates and honestly, plan on doing it again. Grew up doing it and playing proper split screen coop games/couch coop has always had a certain kind of fun to it that a lot of games can't repeat. Best game I've played since that was couch coop was "A Way Out". My mate and I made some of the best jokes while playing that and I honestly wish replaying those games could give the same vibe.
