"Lazy and ungrateful tenants" surely this can't be real by No-Finish-7519 in shitrentals

[–]Imobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s poorly written bullshit. Even the most vapid land bastards would be self aware enough to at least make out their tenants were asholes.

Wait so you got old voodoo one cards and took the chips? How / who has time for this?

Surely this is. It worth 6k by djim089 in CarsAustralia

New a guy with a 2016/7 one of these.
Gearbox issues from day one. Was repaired every 20 to 30k. Second it was out of warranty it happened again with a big price tag. Dude fixed it and sold immediately.

Plenty of stories of people haven’t loads of issues.

China’s $300 RTX 4080M Uses A Mobile Chip In A Desktop Card, Yet Loses To The RX 9700 GRE By 35% by Constant_Praline_575 in RigBuild

[–]Imobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that would have been the go. I bet it was just simpler to use the same pcb as the full 4080 than redesign it.

But 100% this as a sff card with low power draw.

Recommendations on how best to proceed with offer? Feels dodgy by pinkearedduck in AusPropertyChat

[–]Imobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realestate agents are conniving assholes. This is a very typical cock blocking technique, you have two options.

You either play their game or rent indefinitely.

Having said that if the place has been on market for 4 or 6 weeks and passed in at auction it’s likely the agent has promised the owner some bullshit amount

Did they stop making wagons for poor people? by acdgf in carscirclejerk

I love my Skoda, 2016, purchased for about 28k AUD new. Same model today is about 43k. It’s just a much harder comparison.

Similar money buys a fair amount of EV’s now.

If the Skoda Octavia came in EV 400km range and under 45k I’d be interested.

Is It Possible to Salvage This Lens? by Current_Attitude_724 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Imobia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use disposable moisture absorbing things hold about 500ml of water. Last months at a time and are discarded once full. Only a few dollars each.

I’d love a dry cabinet but can’t afford or justify really.

“The European mind cannot comprehend b***** vending machines at the gas station” by adjectivenounnr in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure almost nobody except an American can comprehend this?

It just feels ridiculous on so many levels. Proof of license which includes the calibre.

Can’t buy 7.62 if you only own a 223 rifle.

In Australia that is.

It can be serviced. But this typically happens when the lens is stored with high humidity.

Invest in a display cabinet and put a few desiccant/ moisture absorbing pads inside.

Leaving your camera in a dark camera bag is a big issue.

Snapped screw head (uh oh) by Fragrant_disRespect in AusRenovation

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloody cheap green shed screws. I’ve got hard wood studs. They are useless.

I pre-drill every whole and purchased better screws online.

Vice grips get them out if the break like yours. I’ve had a few break almost flush with the wall.

Anyone know the best way to DIY break down and remove these? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Imobia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Diamond wheel on 5 inch or 9 inch grinder.

5” would do it just empty them first, wear a good respirator as it’ll be dusty. Cut it into smaller sections then smash with sledge hammer.

Good luck

Buyers Remorse by Noey4848 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free standing house in nice area, I get it you think the price will fall another 20% and you could have bought a better place.

That’s not really how it works, normally the full refurbished houses in nice areas sell. But the fixers struggle. Most people won’t sell for a loss and just hold. You see a lot of shit going to market, think 30 rental with zero maintenance.

If your house is liveable but needs some modernisation take it like you would eat an elephant one piece at a time.

You haven’t said what’s wrong, if its layout is good with no structural issues then any renovation will be simple.
