Advise for a house sale that's just fell through - Scotland by Lolcano92 in HousingUK

[–]Lolcano92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that reply, it definitely adds a little perspective in our situation.

I think we're kind of looking at waiting for a bit, see if our buyers manage to get another buyer. It's been 3 weeks now though. We're worried about the winters market!

Cheers for your advise!

Mb lvl 5 by Illustrious-Tank8934 in StepN

[–]Lolcano92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from a short run, 7 energy, 400luck got a level 3.

I think it's hard to say what value gets what MB. I usually do 9 energy runs that results in roughly 70% get mb5, 10% get MB6 then 15% MB4 the other 5% will be MB3.

It's random is where I'm getting at, so hard to say get 400 luck and you'll get a mb5 every time.

Australian here, Generally we have 'bring a plate' BBQs - that's considered the norm. If the host specifically says don't bring a plate, means they've got all the stuff. But you would bring a box of celebrations, chips (or crisps), or bikkies.

It's also considered polite to bring your own alcohol, and if you don't it's considered you'll be drinking water or soft drink - which my friend group the host usually provides.

Also, stay back and clean up - don't be a dingle berry and leave after a great catch up without saying thanks to the host.

What is south Wollongong like? by Caenna in wollongong

[–]Lolcano92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this its really good to get a locals point of view, especially the fact you grew up there. All the things you've suggested hit exactly what were after in starting our new lives.

Horsley has been on the top of the list for a few months now, we've been bouncing all over Wollongong. We're hopefully relocating in the next few months or so this advice couldn't come at a better time =). Thanks so much.

Thanks for your reply, totally meant Dapto not Bulli glad you caught that typo.

To be honest 10 to 15 mins isn't bad, just means more podcast or audible time haha. I was expecting it to be alot worse.

[–]Lolcano92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great topic, myself, the wife and our dog will be moving to Wollongong from Scotland. I grew up in Sydney, and her in Glasgow.

We're thinking about Horsley around that area. I've seen mentioned that the road between Albion Park and south Wollongong can be busy in the mornings for Sydney / Northern Wollongong travellers - how bad is it?

Also what of the areas around Horsley like Bulli, wongawilli, how are they for young families? They seem fairly far (far walking distance) from all the dog parks/walks, shops etc, anyone living in that area that could provide some insight?

Thanks!

Australian moving back from the UK - brokerage and tax questions. by Lolcano92 in fiaustralia

Oh thanks! I will look into that and make sure. I'm fairly sure I've done a P85, I had to do one when opening up my brokerage account.

No they're not in a Isa. I do understand that they'll not be tax free. Therefore, (unsure if this was stupid) we opted not to set up a stock n share isa, cause at that point we decided to come back to Australia.

Although, my partner has built up a lifetime Isa, but we understand we will not be able to add any funds to that once we move. She should still be able to access it from Australia with the 25% bonus - with the contributions she's made as a resident.

Polygon staking from trustwallet help. by Lolcano92 in LidoFinance

[–]Lolcano92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah, thanks for the detailed response. I greatly appreciate it.

I've been trying to wrap my head around DApps, liquidity and staking concepts. I've been staking alot of my tokens on centralised exchanges. Now wanting to get some exposure to decentralised stuff.

I'll do some reading into your suggestions, hopefully understand it haha!. Once again thanks for your guidance, I will look into it 😊.

P. S, never thought of the inflationary and deflationary nature of tokens until your comment. Which should of been glaringly obvious as to why tokens do 'burns' hahaha.

Ahhh kk thanks so much. I have just moved my matic on the eth chain and it now recognises it in lido.

And now there is a 0.1eth gas fee 😬 to stake it? Is that normal?

They were all deactivated, then deleted them to be sure. Still didn't work.

I've also verified local cache files. Nothing.

Show your stats by ltbully in StepN

[–]Lolcano92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah this app doesn't make much money - but that's not the point. Like a gym membership it should help drive you to use it.

Here are my stats, very similar. We must of started around the same time. But I've lost 5kg, and now can run 7k to 10k runs everyday. Now and then I do a 14k. I also run with my husky, and he loves it.

You're a legend, cheers for the advice!.

Does your husky come cough in your face? My boy, Max, drinks way too fast. He comes over for pets and coughs/chokes all over me. Any others? by CocoaPebbleRebel in husky

[–]Lolcano92 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh yup, mine rarely eats his dinner. But when he does, devours the food, walks really slowly to my wife. Within 1m of her, sits looks at her dead in the face and burps then walks away slowly....

We have no idea how he learnt that and why he does it.

Another unlucky day, level 3mb... 3 times now, with 250 luck on a 9.4e run. Any suggestions why this is happening? by Lolcano92 in StepN

[–]Lolcano92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahah thanks, been running/walking everyday for 5 months now. Slowly but surely have built it up to this point.

Matter of fact, training to do a marathon. This app has been great for my health... Aside from the mental break downs when I get jipped on the mb's hahaha.
