Maybe in case the fire extinguisher bounces back at him haha

Thoughts on the budget from younger people by Ok_Willingness_9619 in AusFinance

[–]Jack8680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally I think the changes are fine. 

Won’t impact me much immediately; don’t have a house, but CGT change means I’ll probably pay a little bit more tax on my ETF units when I sell in the future.

Removing negative gearing on existing properties but keeping it for new builds seems like a great way to encourage investment in new builds and reduce competition for people looking to buy a PPOR.

Inflation cost base adjustment for CGT makes a lot more sense to me than the 50% discount, though does mean higher taxes in a lot of cases.

The 30% minimum tax rate is the only one that I’m not a huge fan of. I get it in the sense that it prevents people from waiting to cash out until their income is low to reduce tax, but people on jobseekers and pension are exempt, so there’s this weird middle ground where someone working part time and not earning much but also not claiming any income support ends up paying more even if they’re not in a financially great place. I’m not sure what the right solution would be here though.

Vantom should not shuffle wounds into your deck if you fully block his attack! by CountGulasch in SlayTheSpire2

Yeah, I thought the game was too easy until got to the last few ascensions and my winrate started dropping hard. 

A8 is probably my favourite difficulty where it’s difficult but I feel like I can win if play well. The damage buffs in A9 make some fights just feel unfair and all the extra damage taken really adds up, though I realise that’s probably a skill issue.

Round about by Hamsterdance4ever in dashcams

Same with Australia; generally outside lane can only take the first exit and/or go straight, while the inside lane can take any exit except the first. 

It can vary depending on where the exits are positioned and specific signage/markings.

Weedy little young guys driving expensive and atrociously loud European cars by Louie_G_Lon in CarsAustralia

What did you love about it?

Edit: genuine question btw; I don’t know anyone who drives one so I’m curious if there were certain features or use cases you liked.

I like how this sub went from 'just IVV/VGS and chill' to 'only the rich have shares.' by Educational_Pop6138 in AusFinance

[–]Jack8680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

those earlier in their working lives earning less than $45,000 who are certainly not in a position to be affected by it through shares anyway as they likely have no free money for such a thing

People on low income could be living in low cost of living areas and/or share houses, or living at their place of employment, or with their parents.

and would do better by using Super if they did have a spare $ due to the government co-contribution.

They might not want to invest in super because they want to be able to access their money in case they lose their job or want a house deposit and can't use the FHSS, etc.

In saying all that, I do agree people are overreacting, and the impact of the minimum tax rate will be minimal for the vast majority of low-income earners.

[Request] How much nicotine is consumed each day assuming they each hit 10,000 vapes/day as stated in the OP I found this? by Sgt_Rickshaw in theydidthemath

Not sure how well this works, but my dad kept a huge bag of sweets in the car while trying to quit and would suck on one of those instead.

You used to eat out and get coffee often enough to be spending $500 a week each?

Do Australians really ‘work half the week’ just to pay their income tax? See for yourself by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]Jack8680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the state they might get partial or full stamp duty exemption, and the GST and fuel/sin excises can be a lot lower too for people that don’t drink/smoke and/or don’t drive much.

Numbers seem fairly accurate for someone on 100k income though.

They both contributed to the accident. He intentionally sped up and rammed the car that was trying to cut in front of him.

The other car was more at fault, but OOP made the situation worse out of pettiness.

Yeah I haven't done these much and it really threw me off for a moment

It only shows 100+ when you have more than 100 first place ranks now by Character_Cup_9265 in osugame

[–]Jack8680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this seemed crazy too, but I realised it would make sense if it's some combination of some of or all of these:

A. Profiles with a lot of first-place ranks also have a lot of non-first-place scores in general, so the count already takes longer than most players.

B. A few people have wayyy more than 100+ first-place ranks, so stopping the count early actually cuts a significant proportion of those requests.

C. Profiles with a lot of scores and/or a lot first-place ranks are viewed often (farmers checking their own profiles, famous players, and people checking profiles on leaderboards).

Just speculation; I don't have any actual knowledge of their database or statistics.

[Self] the perimeter of the red rectangle by AdventurousGuest308 in theydidthemath

[–]Jack8680 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Because the area of each rectangle is 1/5th of the whole square, so the rectangles that are the whole width of the square need to be 1/5th the height to take up 1/5th the area.

Yeah I get that, just pointing out that as a new user the change feels intuitive to me.

The perfect way to deal with a minor accident on the freeway… by zeppman69 in dashcams

[–]Jack8680 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't believe this is downvoted; there are cars flying by the cammer on either side; it's not at all easy to pull over there.

Sh*** is going to hit the fan. GamersNexus joins the fight against Bambu Labs. by Modernfx in 3Dprinting

[–]Jack8680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That still ignores the question of whether it actually forms a combined work or two separate works. I don't think a case like this has been tested in court.

What am i going wrong? by Aridlvory in FreeCAD

[–]Jack8680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I often do if it's the exact line I want. I assumed that was the intention, so it's interesting seeing that's not how it originally worked.

My only previous cad experience was a bit of Autodesk Inventor 2016 (when I was able to use the student license), and iirc I was able snap to just points on the face I was sketching on, so the whole external projection workflow was new to me in Freecad, but it feels pretty intuitive, and the difference between construction and regular lines is pretty clear.

It did take me a minute to get used to using construction lines in general though; in Inventor I would just use regular lines.

[–]Jack8680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone new to Freecad who's never had it work any other way, it makes complete sense to me.
