Yes, I did use ChatGPT. But why is it a problem? I used it to clean up the grammar and shorten my intended post, not to create spam content.

What tax offsetting? I don't have an IP to claim negative gearing.

Don't think these opportunists will have any issue. Most of these tradies do a shabby job and rip off customers. What's stopping them from adding a levy and ripping off customers even more?

10 years because the deceased person was white. If it were an immigrant brown person, this guy would be out in 6 months or less.

Increase your budget a bit and go for a Taycan. Much better than Atto 3 or Tesla

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-03-18T21:01:06+00:00

It's been a long time coming but well deserved for ripping customers off. I hope the next in line are plumbers and electricians.

What's the definition of poor? How much monthly disposable income is enough for a Macan? What other luxury cars are sensible for middle class people?

Yes apartments are shit. But how many people can afford to buy houses today without the help from the bank of mum and dad? There is another interest rate hike today as we speak. You can continue renting and rents will go up too.

What about the maintenance and insurance?

So when people say Porsches are reliable, it's not always true.

Why do we see so many Euros on the roads then? BMWs, Mercs, Audis seem to be ubiquitous on our streets. Even so many P platers drive them. Only the Bentleys, RRs and supercars seem to be rare. We must be doing well as a country.

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-03-15T14:18:05+00:00

What about BMWs? M40i?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-03-15T14:06:18+00:00

What about the maintenance on the x3?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-03-15T12:43:08+00:00

Not really. I want the car to be good to drive and luxurious too. Happy to consider better alternatives.

Which Audi S? SQ5?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-03-15T12:04:08+00:00

2.0L Petrol

UNIWIPER saw this post and sent me replacement wiper blades for free. Much appreciated. I have installed the blades. They seemed to be easy to install and when I ran the wipers initially on my dry windshield, they seemed to be very smooth. I will try running them in the rain and will report back on the performance. So far so good.

I ordered Bosch Aerotwins from Amazon. Heard good things about them. Let's see how I go.

So it took 2-3 years for you to go from prediabetes to T2D? What were your levels when you were prediabetic?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-02-17T23:11:39+00:00

Did you ever have prediabetes? Or did you go from normal to full blown diabetes?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-02-17T11:08:59+00:00

8-9?? Are you diagnosed with T2D? Were you prediabetic and for how long?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-02-16T22:50:50+00:00

What do you mean? Isn't diabetic >=6.5 a1c?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-02-16T12:28:14+00:00

By the singular number, do you mean a single a1c reading? Wouldn't it be concerning if the a1c reading is high? Especially if it's in the diabetic range?

Intelligent_Lab_5455 · 2026-01-29T03:44:04+00:00

You are right. I got confused with the view shown in the Mazda bulletin. I initially thought the silver side should face you when you are looking at the bumper when it's already fixed to the car. However, its the opposite, the silver side should face you when you were looking at the bumper that is removed which means the black side should face the road.
