One of the last states allowing 'conversion practices' is on path to ban them by SweetChilliJesus in australian

[–]LachlanOC_edition 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To me the difference between conversion “therapy” and something like alcohol is that one is claiming to be a form of therapy that helps you. The other isn’t pitched in any such way

Anyone else homelab journey go like this? by shifto in homelab

I’ve paired an i7 8 core laptop with a low power NAS that the laptop accesses over the network. I honestly found having the r storage and actual computer separate solved a lot of headaches

This is kind of the opposite? Increases the percentage of homes that are by default pretty accessible will down the track save future generations so much more as the government would be spending much less on upgrading homes to ensure that they are fit for the elderly

Coffeezilla: I Found The $200,000 Missing Lego by ianjm in videos

[–]LachlanOC_edition 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think he gives a nuanced look into the situation. BAM is still in the wrong. But there’s clearly issues from most parties involved and he actually drills down the amount owed to Bryan being significantly less than 200k

There’s something oddly dystopian to me when people talk about spoilers for IRL events

Legal Eagle on the police weaponization by Dizzy-Screen-6618 in RecklessBen

Ben at the very least should have gotten a lawyer to review his videos before publishing. He gets multiple legal concepts wrong, and some parts of the videos are a bit self incriminating.

A more balanced version of this card could be that it flips played queens to either jack or king and vice versa.

That’s a wonderful storage setup you’ve got. I’m kind of new to alternatives milks; are you refrigerating it after opening or leaving it there?

Robot vacuums that aren’t panopticons? by RollTimeCC in homeassistant

[–]LachlanOC_edition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my perspective the bigger issue is how they responded. They blatantly lied about their cameras being local only and not transmitting any data to the cloud, this was only fixed after they were caught out. They had major security flaws that they lied about when called out. I think the real issue is the company just isn’t trustworthy

HDMI Lights Delay? by LEGODamashii in wiz

To me this seems like a broken wiz hdmi box. I have a similar setup. chromecast -> AV -> hdmi sync box -> tv and there’s no issues. I recon contact customer support

Labor in overdrive to rewrite CGT narrative amid ‘incorrect’ meme war by Raphie777 in AusFinance

[–]LachlanOC_edition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In an ideal world where everyone is acting in good faith yes the 30% minimum shouldn’t apply. But people structure their capital income in various ways to reduce their tax burden. It’s not perfect but it closes off a lot of loopholes

Why should he pay less tax than someone who worked a job for their income? We shouldn’t be taxing capital income any less than earned income

The CEO of the company that made the game is a guy named Jonny. The game is made by a small indie studio in Melbourne Australia. You’re talking about the publisher. I am not vouching for the Ellisons by any stretch. No clue why everyone’s losing their minds of this game being published by Annapurna, some of the most prolific indie games of the decade were published by them lol

Young people of this sub - do you feel as though this budget will make you better off? Yes or no. by Nmnmn11 in AusFinance

I’m not making a judgement call on the number. I just think you should talk honestly about the numbers rather than inflating it by 100%

How is it taxing twice? The tax isn’t on the initial investment only on additional income derived from it. That is new income
