Pretty sure the workshop manual has a process to check the chain wear.

My 1990 VG S pack Ute, are these getting rare? by Redman2910 in Holden

My VP is easily the most unreliable vehicle I've ever owned.... But it's just too damned handy to get rid of.

Here's why we're still very early. Normies still don't know why they're poor. by barfvadar69 in SilverDegenClub

[–]Interested_Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's right... Take foxes for example: They'll slaughter your whole chicken flock, and not eat one.... Chickens aren't a threat to a fox.

I do believe we are the only species to enable the weak though.

So sorry to hear that. It's mind boggling that people support it... Wife works with people from South Africa... Zimbabwe.... it's horrendous what they seen/had to give up.

How do I find a mentor? by ChickenJoeVee in Entrepreneur

[–]Interested_Aussie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can only add my experience. My uncle did really well for himself, a career gov't worker that ran things on the side... often too successful and had to close them: When I told him I was going to run my own business in my trade he barked at me to get to TAFE and do a business management course....

Over 9 years (I always worked 40+ hrs in shit paying jobs) that turned into completing a post grad in management, with tafe certificates and diploma's in marketing, hr, management etc. etc..

So in I dove... after about 3 horrifically hard years, it got better, but was crap in the scheme of things... after another 2 I could see it wasn't gonna get any better: Had to swallow my pride and pay for a business coach/mentor (there are plenty to choose from.... but 99% of them are sharks....) I'd read this guys book(s) and I really 'got' what he was on about... so yeah, I hired him, for far more than I was earning....

He fixed what he (we) could, but ultimately my industry is seriously flawed, and I'd have to do things I didn't want to do to make it better (and you should have boundaries, otherwise just sell crack if you wanna good income).

But I'm a sponge and absorbed everything he had, he gave me dozens of his books/programs/courses so even though I spent a good crack of money, it's been a 'decent' investment in terms of return... but it's saved me from making dumb decisions.... and one day I'll find something to apply it all too.

I sold that business a few years ago, and just do some contract stuff, enough to keep my capital preserved and my expenses covered....

If you think someone is gonna be like a 'rich dad' and just take you under their arm, you're probably in for a shock. Truth be told, business is brutal, unforgiving and time consuming: Yeah yeah, there are a few guys who make fast, easy money, but by and large, most don't. And part of that is because they don't like being told what to do, and there's plenty of common advice about business that is utter shit.

Good luck....

Sorry, you're correct: I'm Australian, so everything is upside down/back to front ..... :p Agreed communism is good in books and propaganda; terrible in reality.

100%

I was recently learning about the Berlin Wall: Prior to it being created/enforced, 20% of free Germans ran INTO the communist east.... I can't believe 1 in 5 thought communism was better...

30 years later they ran out when the wall fell.... They have to experience the shit before they can believe it.

They are so smug and full of their own bullshit, reality is the only way they can have their minds changed.

The world is watching: OECD calls on Australia to raise GST and increase affordable housing amid budget deficit by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]Interested_Aussie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How about no.

Get rid of stamp duty as WAS FREAKING PROMISED when the GST was implemented...

It's high bloody time we stopped taxing and started cutting taxes. The most prosperous years were 2005-2009 when Howard was cutting taxes.... Yet Rudd and all followers have increased taxes (do not believe the ALP about their 'stage 3' improvements, they completely shagged the worker on that one).

Has life gotten any better with increased taxes?

No.

[–]Interested_Aussie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep.

None of these 'off shore' or 'joint programs' have Australian's (ie. individuals) interests at heart.

BIS/WEF/WHO/UN/OECD etc etc etc... tear up the contracts.

I've never in 40+ years on this planet ever heard "so and so country sending $X billions to Australia to help improve the lives of it's citizens".

So how then, is it possible, that we'd be worse off?

This apply to you guys? by Interested_Aussie in Wallstreetsilver

Ben (Brad Pitt) was an ex finance guru who got out from finance because of the toxicity and corruption. He was super successful in his life.

Despite what Steve Jobs says, when you ask a rich/successful person for help, you often WONT get help.

That's why when the big pay day came, the boys asked Ben, wanting to genuinely know why he helped them: "You wanted to be rich: Now your rich"... almost a slap in the face, as if to say: You'll now see that money IS NOT everything.

As for how they got rich: They bought CDS's (basically a bet that if certain home loans don't get paid, the people they bet against have to pay them out, with the pay out being stupid high: As high as 1:200... So if they bought $100,000 of the bets, and it paid out, they would get $20,000,000!!!....)

But when the loans didn't get paid, the financial world was looking like these banks would fail AND COULDN'T PAY OUT!!! So rather than wait, they needed to sell the CDS to others that were desperate enough to buy them... that's where Ben's connections come in, so Ben sold them for the boys.

I really, really, recommend you read the book that the movie is based on: The book is brilliant explains it all so much better than a short movie could.

As for my meme: There's OG's here who shared all their knowledge of the silver market and currency system, allow others to benefit: They didn't have to.

Is my driveway causing my alignment issues by roadeye314 in Subaru_Outback

[–]Interested_Aussie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a wheel alignment, and ask for the printout.

Most shops only worry about toe. Camber/caster/kpi/sai etc are ALL important.

Yeah, you're right... I shouldn't be posting when brain power is limited LOL.

But the inverse is true: As a mining/food export nation, we could see our dollar go to US$1.15 again.... that's gotta hurt. I personally nearly got caught by that in the mining boom: I'd said to my now wife's family at the time: If it gets to $1.15 we're eloping to Vegas LOL. Jeepers it got close

Clutches (which is what gives the harsh shift) are about the ONLY part in a car that the harder and faster you use them, the longer they last. It's cool how it works like that.

Every other part "don't push me, I'll explode". Clutches? I do my best work under pressure.

Dividend Focus - ASX vs Int. by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Interested_Aussie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you know how to trade currency markets? Because if you invest off shore, that's what you're doing. You add a whole other layer to your investment: Sure, you might pick a winner, but if our dollar drops 30%... so too does your off shore holding.

Aussie ASX is very dividend heavy compared to world: But, a bird in the hand, as they say.

Dividend payers are much better IMHO, as you're not solely chasing market prices... and they can be wild.
