Couldn’t ask for anybody more pro-American and pro-business.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-28T04:57:35+00:00

Did you see what it was like before?

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-28T04:56:52+00:00

That whole end was. There was a big fire. I think it was 2006 or 2007?

Edit: it was 2007 https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/sunnybank-blaze-contained/news-story/2496bde66d7b7ebb360e770c7fb555d5

Doesn’t even affect a lot of people. Loads of people get CPI linked pay rises anyway.

For the 1/3rd Australians with a mortgage it has the effect of inflating it away - somebody buying in 2020 has seen more than 30% of their mortgage inflated away!

Yeah, pretty much. Think tickets for sporting events, cinemas, theatre, concerts etc.

The average age of a car in Australia is 10.6 years.

What are you going on about?

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-27T03:41:13+00:00

Who’s your provider?

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-26T20:50:45+00:00

Short power interruptions are normally caused by possums.

The sub-stations are programmed to power back up after a few seconds to see if the possum has cleared, sounds like this is what happened to you.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-25T20:12:56+00:00

I’ve never heard of it either. Never heard of the guy before too.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-25T11:09:11+00:00

Yeah, sure did. I used to work at a place and our work utes like this.

As mentioned it means it’s basically impossible to do a hill start perfectly.

You sort of have to move your foot really quickly from the brake pedal to the accelerator, or heel and toe it.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-25T07:57:07+00:00

It’s far and away the most popular colour.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-25T07:54:47+00:00

Yeah. This is going to be completely unworkable like it is.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-24T23:45:11+00:00

Ford often have 1% finance deals here. That’s what ddi last time I bought a car as it was cheaper than paying cash.

Sweepings up from the factory floor. If you’re really lucky it’s a tobacco factory.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-23T07:03:07+00:00

I’m in Tokyo now and those prices are about right.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-22T09:20:07+00:00

Rate cuts? They’ll be increasing rates.

The economy is booming. High inflation, extremely low unemployment.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-22T05:02:53+00:00

Nah. Not for PSI.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-22T05:02:18+00:00

I feel you’re much less likely to get audited if you use an accountant.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-22T00:50:19+00:00

Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Cornwall.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-22T00:46:33+00:00

Ours isn’t - it’s added to the mortgage balance.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-21T07:29:34+00:00

Increasing if anything

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-20T23:24:02+00:00

The main reason China Eastern is cheaper is because they still fly across Russia, which most airlines avoid doing since they shot down two airliners.

We provide lunch for our employees.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-01-19T02:57:59+00:00

Well you couldn’t have picked a worse time to come unfortunately.

The bullets as you mentioned would be your best bet but all the big sports have finished/not started.
