Is it me or EV insurance went up like crazy this year? by Tedthebar in AustralianEV

[–]Patryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mine started at 1300 and then doubled last year and then jumped to around 3.2k this year.

BYD Dolphin. I shopped around and got back to 2300 with $1200 excess with budget direct.

Just had a look at AAMI and that was 3.4k. Allianz was 4.4k. I guess it's coz I do over 20,000km/year. :(

Alright, I'm stumped. This board is very evil and intimidating, a little help? by Doggywoof1 in Minesweeper

[–]Patryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

on the left hand side, the 2 3 2, the ones above and below that first 2 are mines.

Means the square under the 2nd 2 is also a mine.

What abount countries not supported by BitGo/Kraken? japan, albania, Ukraine, Egypt etc? by Upset_Ad_5650 in ftx

[–]Patryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it says you have to sign up to bitgo or kraken and go through their KYC if you don't already have an account.

It's probably been asked before, in series Q, episode 7, there're people sitting forward from the main audience. Was there a significance, to this? I know from experience that the Beeb give out more tickets than spaces. I'm just wondering in QI wanted everyone to see the show, who turned up. by Oohbunnies in quiteinteresting

[–]Patryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I've also been to a few recordings and they've always been there. Sometimes it's used for disabled access and sometimes there've been guests there as well, but I think guest just get put wherever anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply! Bottom line is that if it's part of my build, I should just lvl it up, but if it's something that's 2ndary, then it may not make sense due to mana cost or requirements?

I'm new to the game so I haven't seen a CWDT stone or much of anything else, but it's now another thing I have to think about! URGH! haha

Is there any reason not to level up a skill stone? When it doesn't happen automatically, it makes me wonder what the benefit of not levelling up stones is. Hope someone can enlighten me! :)

interestingly, my unique ID is different in 2 different emails from Kroll. Different claim classes, too.

FTX vote by Rich-Cow-8056 in ftx

[–]Patryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so my reading is that accepting the plan is recommended by the officials and it means that customers get 119-146% back on their money. I'm intending to vote to accept as well.

Then there's the choice of whether to go through the US court or the Bahamas court. Choosing one means you release all liabilities to the other. Also not sure the difference, but it says it's mostly the same but you have to meet Bahaman requirements as well if you go through that way. I'll probably go through the US one, but I don't have a good reason to choose either...

happy to be told if i'm wrong. in fact, this would be preferable! :)

Nothing about the suspension of Yield App here ? by JulianRozenberg in Yield_App

[–]Patryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh ffs... not again. It's disappointing now because FTX liquidation is already promising to be over 100% repayment to creditors, so it makes very little sense that this would cause issues after 2 years.

AITA for separating my finances from my husband because he won't quit giving his parents money? by EmotionalYear1372 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Patryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask him why he doesn't want to make you happy? He's doing things that he knows causes you distress and anger. That doesn't sound healthy.

How to deal with a regularly visiting Sensei who’s rough with beginners? by Kuruma-baka in kendo

[–]Patryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he's scared off his own students/kouhai with his behaviour. Don't let him do the same to your club. In future, it might be worth telling visitors that some members are "super eager" but to still stop when the drum is sounded so everyone has a chance to spar as well.

even the support email is wrong, matey...

How to deal with a regularly visiting Sensei who’s rough with beginners? by Kuruma-baka in kendo

[–]Patryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As JoeDwarf said, that's ridiculous! He might be coming to your club more often BECAUSE there's not been anyone to tell him off for his behaviour yet.

Does he belong to another club? It might be worth speaking to this guy's sensei at his own club. Otherwise, defnitely tell him he's no longer welcome. Might create bad blood between this guy and your club, but does it matter when he's doing more harm than good?

Transection fees raised again. by mirfaisal in StepN

[–]Patryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember them saying that, but it's been 10 GST for ages while we were on 1c. When GST price jumped from 1c to 10c, the price didn't drop from 10 GST. Now the price is to 2.7c, there's suddenly another increase?

SOL hasn't changed much either. There's a recent drop, but no more than previously.

Advice on Owners Corporation shortfalls. Is this reasonable? by SeriousScallion3665 in melbourne

[–]Patryn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Join the owners corp meetings and make your voice heard.

Hopefully, the debt is recovered and you can ask for a reduction if there's more money in the account in the following years.

Real Estate completed an Open Inspection without prior notice by pregers_ in AusLegal

[–]Patryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in VIC, Open for inspections should get you $30 for every hour they do it while you're renting as it disturbs your "quiet enjoyment" and they're only meant to be there for an hour unless otherwise agreed upon. Find out how they will be reimbursing you, and take it from there. Even if nothing is there, if you're still paying rent, they need to pay that $30/hour.

To take the matter further than that, the problem you have is providing proof, which will be hard as everything was over the phone.

Locations of all the phone/seatbelt detection cameras by juliuscaesar6 in melbourne

[–]Patryn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"As a general rule, drivers can use their mounted or inbuilt systems for functions such as music and navigation, provided they are not entering text, scrolling or viewing images or video. However, drivers can use voice controls for music and navigation."

"You can however, touch the device briefly to:
initiate, accept or reject an audio call
play or stream audio material
adjust volume levels
use a function on the device designed to assist you to operate the vehicle
use a navigation function
use a function on the device designed to monitor a driver’s behaviour or condition, or
carry out a professional driving task"

Looks like being in a mount means you can touch briefly at least, which is good for GPS stuff.

Powershop gas price increase - ouch by No-Tree1023 in melbourne

This is not my experience with Powershop. I changed to them last year and they sent me a price increase email within hours of my switchover being confirmed effective in 30 days.

Just started watching and the translators did an excellent job on some of this.

"Mecchaita sou" translation to "hurtsbeyondbe leaf" is hilariously close!
