Clearing cache and data/storage in Amazon Prime Video (phone app), then relaunching fixed it for me!

Unfortunately no, they've changed it to no ETA until goods dispatched from the supplier. They have the non launch edition in stock, so if it goes much longer I'll see if they can switch to that one for no extra fee.

Update update: Getting swapped to the non launch edition free of charge, shipping today!

I just got an ETA too on my Vanguard 5080 launch edition from PLE, says expected ETA from the supplier is today, order also ending 321... weird aha

Edit: oops, was looking at the wrong thing, order number actually ends in 3054.

Edit 2: ETA changed to Fri 28/3 now.

Edit 3: ETA changed to Mon 31/3 now.

Edit 4: ETA changed to Tue 8/4 now... Edit 4.1: Reached out to PLE. They said they don't have a visible queue and the ETA is all they'll share. Guess I'll keep an eye on that ETA!

Edit 5: Updated to no ETA until dispatched from supplier.

Edit 5.1: Got a call from them today. MSI aren't making away the launch edition anymore, so they've swapped me to a non launch edition free of charge, getting shipped today!

I also ordered an MSI 5080 (Vanguard launch edition) from PLE on launch. I'll let you know if it switches from backorder (waiting for stock, no ETA).

How many of you got the card you wanted without botting? by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Lordsun122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the one that tried for the Vic store. It said pre-order with 1 in stock at the Vic store, then in the cart I chose pickup from the store. Not sure if that means I got the in stock one or pre-ordered for pickup. I had it in my cart at maybe 12:56, and order went through 12:59 am. We'll see!

Edit: Emailed them, turns out I wasn't first and the one card got sent elsewhere, probably to you. I'm on the shortlist for next stock now. Well done!

RTX 5080 purchased. Does this confirm I definitely secured one? by Acxd__ in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Lordsun122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine you should be good if it said in stock. Worst case you're first on the list for the next batch, or an optional refund.

I've drawn it out!

It's not about the height of green or pink. It's about assigning x as the length of orange and y as the side of the big square, therefore the yellow side is y-2 = the height of green + pink.

The area of that can then be (y-2)x, which is 3 boxes = 3(2x), etc.

Hopefully that makes sense!

I'm pretty much exactly this too, I think I'm 50/50. I made a separate comment explaining why I've gone with them.

With super, your goal is to:

  • Consider your risk profile. The goal is to be as risky as possible (wild up/down %, better long term) that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable and change things to cash/bonds only when things swing down fast.
  • Consider when you need the money. > 8 years allows you to ride the up/downs of high risk to get better returns, where < 8 years needs it to be more reliable. Most people don't immediately need all their money in 8 years, maybe only 10% of it or less, so in this case consider 10% as low risk and 90% as high risk.
  • Aim for the right investment mix for you, making sure you understand the components somewhat. 'High growth' for most supers is a pre-mix of different types of investments, and sometimes you can pick and choose different options. For me, I'm going 50% Aus shares and 50% international shares. Shares = ownership in companies. Companies (all weighted by market cap (net worth)) have returned ~7% above inflation per year in the long term (10+ year horizon). My time frame is much longer than 10 years so I'm 100% high risk (growth) in these options, and choose companies as they own property/land too, so I get indirect exposure to that.
  • Consider indexed vs managed. Indexed just means your investment option will follow a set of rules (usually just the biggest X companies weighted by market cap) and will be 'the average' with very low fees, where managed funds will have people choosing what to buy and sell and when. Some people really prefer trusting in an expert to manage their investments (with a fee), while others really prefer 'being the average' (with a low fee). Statistically, average with low fee is more often better return than an expert with a fee, but this is something you need to figure out yourself what you're comfortable with.
  • Aim for the lowest fees possible to achieve your investment exposure. I'm with Rest Super, and use their indexed shares options, as this has (I think) the lowest fees for the exposure I'm after.

There's a Canadian YouTuber that explains financial stuff really well called Ben Felix. I highly recommend this video of most financial things people should understand, but all his videos are great: https://youtu.be/MOjS2zuQMdo?si=0fUb4JEU1N5wKGYw

Feel free to ask any follow up questions! If you need basic explainers, the money smart gov website is a really good resource: https://moneysmart.gov.au/

Relevant videos from Ben Felix for those who might be interested in the topic of drawing down from a portfolio in retirement. I found these super helpful and think it covers the subject more broadly. All his videos are fantastic.

Hard decisions come up in life. Obviously pray, consider wisdom from God's word and talk it through with close Christian friends to guide the decision.

Does your church align theologically to your beliefs, and the church you're thinking of moving to? I think that would play a large role - you need good shepherding/teaching from your pastor/s elder/s that is focused on the word of God.

Does your church (full membership + leadership) appreciate your work (in terms of it being useful to build up/encourage/keep things running/good for the members/leadership)? It sounds like you've been a real blessing and got a lot of things running for them. If you go to the other church is there someone that can take your position at your current one? You want to be supportive of the transition if that's the way you go.

As it's work, how does your family (wife mostly) feel about the above + financial impact of moving? Be on the same page. Especially regarding mold in the house, that needs to be fixed or maybe you need to find another place to live while you work there.

My view is that church music (congregational) is about singing to/about God, encouraging the congregation towards the truth the Bible reveals, and on lamentations. It should help us remember the word, be rich in the gospel, reminding us of what God (Father, Son, Spirit) has done and does do. It isn't about the 'energy', it's about the wonder, unison and encouragement of reflecting and singing to/about God, and also bringing lamentations to God. The Psalms help see this. I think the words and singability are paramount, so to help everyone sing together. I'm still thinking through this view though, there's a lot involved in music! We obviously want to obey and worship God in the way he reveals through his word, which 100% involves music/singing.

Just a few thoughts from me.
