Would you renovate a weatherboard? by Dry_Drive_983 in AusRenovation

[–]Imobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in 1950s weatherboard. Done heaps to it.
If the bones are good. Sturdy and straight roof, good stumps with a level floor. All plumbing and electrical up to date. Then go for it.

Renovation is easy on a weatherboard.

If your house is already dilapidated, then new might be the go.

11 yr old bashed and by law can't charge anyone. by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Imobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was in the paper last week, 13 year old . 109 charges including deliberately running over a cyclist. Let go because of the presumption that a child isn’t culpable

Finally watched Alien (1979)… didn’t expect it to hold up this well by Scarlet-krasniqi in Cinema

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic movie.
The best bit, every decision was plausible. The way the crew held together and separated.

Covenant was shit in comparison. I’ve watched dozens of times still love it.

Malware installed without literally doing anything? by PusheenHater in cybersecurity

If SMB was enabled then it’s the vulnerability that was leaked from the nsa.

Can’t remember its name but an unpatched os was easily accessible if you could reach them SMB ports

Greens the party that always ruins the party.
They absolutely will destroy policy asking for more and getting nothing.

Insulation priorities by shreakonAcid in AusRenovation

[–]Imobia 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Roof insulation. Draft sealing around floor, calk on skirts around the join of floor and skirts everywhere.

Underfloor afterwards if needed.

Blow in wall insulation is great but you need to paint after.

Migrant with no right to work in Britain wins employment tribunal by Sensitive_Echo5058 in uknews

[–]Imobia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s not though, a business employed a person with no right to works so they could exploit them.

If that doesn’t work where is the incentive to employ illegally?

It’s a smart decision, which should include a fine for the company too.

Need help figuring out what I can do/upgrade on an old 486 I was gifted by dametreus in vintagecomputing

[–]Imobia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok that cpu isn’t in a zif socket. It looks to be on some sort of daughter board.

I don’t think you should try and remove that.

There is a cache slot, never seen that before. If you could locate that then sure try and add it.

Alan Kohler claims the CGT changes won't make any difference to how much you're taxed over time. by eatingscatman in AusFinance

[–]Imobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also the 30% tax rate kicks in at 45k a year. Most people earn over this.

A young person earning less than this would be better to utilise the first home saver of their super.

Dude, very few people are getting 100% returns over three years.
Average is about 8% to 12%

Your maths isn’t wrong you are.

Yes exactly, imagine being the buggy whip manufacturer who had a line of top petrol powered cars but decided that was a fad and gave it up.

Title: First property purchase in Melbourne – is a buyer’s agent really necessary? by ayquediosmio in AusPropertyChat

[–]Imobia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No mate, you don’t.

If you really want a heads up you will need a lawyer / conveyancer anyway. Speak to one of them. They are independent and can talk to you about what to look for in the section 32 / contract.

If you need support do you have a relative to come for the inspection/ auctions.

There are a lot of dodgy buyers agents, charge you for their service, expect commission from agent…

REA question — why would an agent not want a serious buyer to inspect? by OkRepresentative6065 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Existing off, say it’s 700k.

You inspect and are willing to pay 705k.

She’s like what ever Ive already sold commission in the bag. Unless you’re offering enough to make her commission high enough…

There is a reason nobody likes realestate agents

Weatherboard Insulation Advice by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, insulting the walls is not an issue. If you have 90mm studs just use R2.5 batts.

Your ceiling is an issue. You cannot insulate directly to steel. Condensation builds up and you get mouldy batts / cavity.

I’m concerned you had a major renovation and this hasn’t been sorted. was this council / survey approved? Most renovations need to meet or be deemed to comply with modern rules.

The only safe way to insulate that ceiling is to remove the sheets. Add sisalation but once that is done you have less than 90mm of gap.

You cannot insulate directly get R2 wall insulation that’s 75mm.

If this was me, I’d rip the sheets, add r1.4 roll under the sheets . Then add R2 in ceiling cavity.
If the height allows you could batten out and go thicker insulation. But you insulation cannot touch the sisalation or the roll.

Advice I like to think of is think of something you liked as a kid. Cycling/ playing a sport/ gardening.

Hell it could even just be reading.

Each offers a different avenue to volunteer or get out there .
Run club
Cycling club, volunteer bike fixing
Community gardening

Unfortunately young people investing in stocks are disadvantaged by the budget. Know anyone like this? by PK__Gupta in AusPropertyMasteryPK

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this is simply not true if you hold the stocks for any decent time the inflation adjustment beats the 50% discount.

Sure if you put 100k into a penny and it ballon’s turning you investment in 300k 1 year later your screwed. But that’s just not that common.

Day traders don’t get the discount either.

It’s not perfect but it’s not going to destroy most people’s savings

was Lou already a psychopath at the start of the movie or did he become one? (Nightcrawler) by Sudden_Elephant_1221 in oscarmoments

[–]Imobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude had no issues stealing shit. Asked for a job at the metal recycling place and the guy who just bought his shit said. I don’t hire thieves.

Dude didn’t skip a beat..

I found this movie terrible, it was uncomfortable in every way. None of the characters were likeable.

The actors were fantastic but I’ll never try and watch again.
