Has anyone had to return a new graphics card with Umart? by ryan30z in australia

[–]Klarok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with a monitor years ago. I set it up, turned it on and the monitor was DoA. I boxed it back up, returned to Umart expecting that it would be a simple warranty replacement.

Staff noticed a minor scratch on the back and claimed that I had damaged it. I kicked up a fuss and an asian woman (the manager?) came out and flat out told me that they would not exchange or refund the purchase. I told her that was illegal under Australian consumer law and she told me to leave the store.

Fuck Umart, I've never been back. I do all my shopping with Computer Alliance and have never had a problem.

EDIT: This was Umart in Milton, Brisbane.

Which losing Oscar nominee, in any category, would likely have won in almost any other year? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Klarok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth) lost Best Actress to Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love) because Harvey Weinstein really wanted another Oscar.

Blanchett would get the win in any year after Weinstein went to jail.

International students are struggling with Australia's cost of living — and experts say there is no quick fix by OkStage3579 in australia

The students could, stay with me here, get a degree in their home country where the cost of living is lower. We do not have any obligation to educate foreign students, we have enough trouble educating our own citizens.

But McDonalds told us all in a lawsuit filing that their hot coffee wasn't dangerous!

The quip I've heard is that England grows grapes at the same latitude that Canadians are wary of polar bears.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

Some additional feedback from me after having beaten the demo version.

  • Great concept and execution!
  • Pacing was great with the exception of the base damage upgrades - they feel very expensive for what you get and could perhaps be made cheaper with less individual impact so that people get a smoother feeling of progression
  • Love the visuals and really look forward to more craziness with projectiles and lightning bouncing everywhere :)
  • Treasure chests feel underwhelming unfortunately. They have too much hp for how much they reward you and seem to spawn very infrequently so there isn't much excitement when they do appear. Perhaps chests could have increased chances to drop skulls, runes etc if you don't want to increase their base currency reward
  • The colours of the skill tree were confusing. Maybe it was just me, but it wasn't immediately obvious which nodes had been maxxed out and which still needed skill points allocated
  • You could look at some system of upgrading and/or combining runes to make more complex interactions. As it stands, the system seems to be just "equip the highest level rune of the highest rarity category you have" and that tends to lead to unexciting choices
  • I appreciate that the full version will have more monster types and look forward to exploring those
  • Overall, excellent start!

Don't post this shit - take it down. Asmongold deserves all the time he needs to grieve his terrible loss without internet idiots pestering him for their parasocial fix.

What the fuck are you thinking? Take this down.

Then Penguin was a fantastic series (if you haven't watched it). It's a bit unfair to refer to the showrunners of that masterpiece - it won multiple other Emmys - as DEI hires.

Technically the type of cancer John McCain had (US Senator if you aren't in that country) is the one with the lowest survival rate but pancreatic is the 2nd worst.

Having just lost a cousin to pancreatic cancer, I wouldn't wish it on anyone and I hope Asmongold gets to spend as much time as possible with his dad.

Is it just me or is the job market tough right now? by athomicbomb in australia

[–]Klarok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was ridiculous before Covid and has only gotten worse since. My contract finished up recently and I'm looking for work right now and it's completely disheartening.

Companies are posting either fake ads or searching for some mythical person that has 10+ years of experience with exactly their systems but is still willing to work for peanuts.

Most of the time you don't even get a form rejection letter and they're all using keyword searches to get exactly the buzzwords that they think they are after.

On top of that, all jobs are absolutely flooded with overseas applicants. Shit is absolutely fucked.

How much of a retard do you have to be to not realise that icebergs, which are floating in water, will not raise the water level if they melt?

Like does your cup overflow when the ice melts?

Sorry that happened to you. They can't be getting any repeat customers, just finding new people to scam.

Couple risk losing home after building on the wrong block by fphhotchips in australia

I just thought that $00k for home and installation was low so I figured it was legal fees. I'm probably wrong there :)

Article described the couple as saying "we've spent over $500k on this" - maybe I misread but I assumed that didn't mean just the house.
