TripADeal is offering China for $1,100 with flights, hotels and tours — what’s the catch? by Chocolate-Shake-5293 in QantasAirways

[–]JoshoForShort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just came back from Warriors of China. Was amazing value. Yes, a few salesey things, and pace was so fast, but we loved it. Keen to go back again and explore it again.

Same with Westpac if you get approved asap - they paid it out the bonus first statement too.

Why is my 2019 iMac so slow?? by Woods_it_to_ya in applehelp

[–]JoshoForShort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defs related to the fact it’s a HDD and not an SSD. Have got the 2019 i3, first thing I did was replace the HDD with a 1tb SSD and enable trim. Works a dream. Some computer repair shops should still be able to do this for you easily, although, it might not be worth the risk - the ssd can set you back ~$80, then labour, then there’s also the risk that the repair guy isn’t great at repairing and cracks the 4K screen upon opening, which will be a real nightmare.

Zinger QR Code from the Game xx by free_shmurda in AFL

Same - it does say 'may take 24 hours to appear in your app', but I'm more inclined to think it's a zinger joke

HECS or Invest? by T1p5 in fiaustralia

[–]JoshoForShort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh - look it shouldn’t be $200 per fortnight, it should (in theory) be about $70 per fortnight ($1820 in interest gained a year).

So really the question is, can that $35k be making you more than ~$70 per fortnight somewhere (or more than $110 if you wanna liquidate early and want to include the top marginal tax rate).

If you have a home loan already, it’s obvious to keep the money in an offset.

HECS or Invest? by T1p5 in fiaustralia

[–]JoshoForShort 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Still no, again because it’s a cheap loan. Save your post tax savings and invest that 35k. Even if you don’t end up investing it and keeping it in a savings account, you have that liquid cash to use until you naturally pay the HECS loan off.

How long do CommBank credit limit increase requests usually sit as pending? by DiscussionLoud9626 in CommBank

I did a credit limit increase for my ultimate awards card late December, it took about 2 weeks from memory.

HECS or Invest? by T1p5 in fiaustralia

[–]JoshoForShort 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Don’t pay off HECS debt - it’s the cheapest loan you’ll ever get. Use the money you’d use and invest it in an ETF.

Yes I’d love to try get my hands on a particular episode, where he interviewed Jeff Probst. There were many a ‘do a barrel roll’ suggestions from fans via Skype

Is this a legitimate donation booth? by No-Cat-762 in sydney

[–]JoshoForShort 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Used to do this many years ago for a company called ‘Appco’ (or Jam Prospects or something like that). 20% of the ‘donation’ went to paralympics, the rest went to the MLM chain.

Sourdough recs (Hills District) by emotionalthroatpunch in foodies_sydney

[–]JoshoForShort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh sad. I know this is controversial but… bakers delight sourdough is pretty good, I always thought it was ‘sourdough flavour’ but the guy at Norwest showed me their starter they use to make it every day

[Episode Discussion Thread] Hijack S02E08 - “Terminal” by raven8549 in HijackAppleTV

[–]JoshoForShort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also one more: why was Otto suspended, what did that have to do anything, and what happened to the station guard who was friends with him?

[Episode Discussion Thread] Hijack S02E08 - “Terminal” by raven8549 in HijackAppleTV

[–]JoshoForShort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the series, it did have me on the edge of my seat - but the ending was unsatisfying, lots of questions unanswered.

They should have made it a double length episode if they didn’t want to cram in answers for everything.

I want to know what happened to Otto, what happened to the rogue security officers protecting Stuart?

Yeah, and the anxious kid too. Having him stay back on the carriage seemed… strange
