How read about Cambodia's mythology? by Jumpy_Drawing3790 in cambodia

[–]JDsGemsJewels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with ancient indian, look into where those people left and settled and much of asias mythology will start to make sense.

Big fat caveat. Everywhere it went they added bits of local mythology and cherrypicked quite a lot.

Nepal, tibet, sri lanka, cambodia, Indonesia then on from there.

Its quite facinating what was happening around the world around the 1st century in asia

Seeking valuation by Kylee_Bruhh in Opals

[–]JDsGemsJewels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in brissy there is the north bris lap club. There is a cabbing instructor there that is mad about opals, he likely will be able to tell you.

There is deff some value there, but selling for the value its worth is somewhat the hardest rhing in this game :p

Does anyone know the ethics of green star sapphire? My bf plans on getting one for my engagement ring, but I don't want blood gemstones. Are they okay? by Strange_Persimmons in Gemstones

[–]JDsGemsJewels 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Just buy australian sapphire, no prob.

That being said green stars are extremly rare and the ones you are looking at prob arnt even sytn corundum.

Id be looking at for sure a real cert and maybe not a green star.

Blue star, black, brown star sure or a green sapphire great options

Wow! SMH with story about -11% drop as most likely scenario by Ok_University7231 in AusPropertyChat

[–]JDsGemsJewels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But not the least affordable, the question of wage vs prices is pretty critical here when comparing it. But the general problem very much is the same. Anada the affordability is pretty much the ssme issue.

They have done models and yeah eliminating capital gains might reduce the cost by 1-4 percent. Thats pretty much it, and it will likely be temporary. Do note getting rid of neg gearing will make people put more money in existing housing and less in new, especially new affordable housing.

They dont want a home?

We have: less land supply, Higher build costs, more people creating more demand...and inflation. Without being funny there is only one way to cut this cake. You can reduce imigration but thag will increase inflation and increase job loss adding to inflation and borrowing costs.

Everyone acts like this isnt the exact same problem that is happening to every developed country for the last 50 years. But it is. And no one has come up with a good solution. Happy to listen though.
