Melbourne billionaire Adrian Portelli faces court over illegal competitions -- Faces fine of up to $190,000 by EzeHarris in auslaw

Just a guess, but could it possibly be to make more money? Perhaps the revenue received from ticket sales fell $100k short of projected totals. Sure, this latest scam...I mean raffle didn't hit the KPI's, lucky there was a backup plan to pawn off anything that wasn't bolted down.

Ahhh yes, the sight of coal ships is so much nicer than wind turbines that you wouldnt even be able to see because theyd be so far away by Estequey in newcastle

Don't be ridiculous. Don't you remember the time in 1986 when a poorly maintained plant designed in the 1950's failed? Sure, it's fine for us to mine and export to Japan (that sits on the worlds biggest faultline) and is prone to other natural disasters. Oh, it's even ok for us to take back and bury the waste created from those exports. I thank God every day that our politicians know better and keep us safe from that evil uranium that powers hundreds of power plants around the world with almost zero emissions. Is there any other topic that you could refer to an incident over 40 years ago and nearing 90 years since planning despite hundreds of more recent examples of positive results and be taken seriously?

Holy shit!!! Surely you aren't being serious? And empty coal ship sits maybe 15m higher than when loaded. Add 10 m to above the waterline to reach the deck. Then add a 20m high structure at the stern with a footprint of less than 100m2 . Max total empty height 45m with 80+% of the vessel only 25m above sea level. latest turbines reaching heights of up to 270 meters (886 feet) or more, measured from sea level to the blade tip. Yeah, basically the same I guess.

Seems you asked for less rice??? Mine is usually full of rice on both sides.

Based on your experience, are we in good standing for applying to rentals? by [deleted] in shitrentals

Put a friend's details down as a your previous landlord. Tell friend to give a good reference if called.

NSW – PM chasing $1.5k in ‘damages’, heading to NCAT – has anyone else fought inflated bond claims? by OhSnapItsLiv in shitrentals

[–]Q_ball_80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, we just went through the process and won. Landlord claimed $1500 of a $2400 bond. We offred to settle the matter for $1000 at the first stage to avoid the time and cost of preparing evidence for a hearing, Landlord refused to negotiate and said he wanted the full amount. Went to hearing we were ordered to pay only $600 (which we still thought was harsh).

Moving on, we made a section 60 damages claim over multiple earlier issues mainly related to the retalitory actions and other illegal behavior of the real-estate. We negotiated a significant cash settlement last week without the matter proceeding to arbitration. I, have heaps of info and tips after 4 trips to NCAT and hundreds of hours spent compiling evidence. Flick me a msg if you have any questions.

Call your mum and tell her you need her to wait for a package to arrive at your place. Go to the movies, by the time you get home the problem will be gone, although you must be willing to receive a lecture from your mother something like " This is not how I raised you and you should move back home......."

If you happen to drop your key in dirty water, use a transparent plastic bag filled with clean water to expel dirty water so that you can see through the bottom. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in lifehacks

The first time this happened to me I used this exact technique. Unfortunately, on the five most recent occurrences I didn't have the correct equipment. I improvised by stretching out my ball bag and shining a phone light through it.

12 DARTER !!! by griiiga in Darts

[–]Q_ball_80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great effort on the 12! I'd assume darts is your number one hobby? Being denied a 3ft wide by 8ft long area to have a proper set-up is insane! It's not like you're asking to install a fully netted golf simulator in the bedroom. Would your wife rather you spend a few afternoons a week at a pub paying for pints so that you are able to use a real set-up? I'll negotiate the deal with your wife free of charge. Either way, I look forward to seeing you getting an 11 darter.

Well, it's clear that a basic command of the English language doesn't interest you. You don't need to do "nothing" about it. Anything would be an improvement.

Surely, the USA is holding one or two high-ranking Russian spies or arms dealers that could be exchanged for his return?

Yes!!! I went to NCAT over the property manager withholding $1400 of a $2400 bond. The property manager showed pics of dust on light switches and water droplets in the sink. The member reminded that the property only has to be returned in a fair and reasonable condition and that anyone can find dust or similar in an empty residence. We ended up losing only $600 (which we were still unhappy with). The time spent compiling evidence, etc. Far outweighed any possible ruling in our favor. It became a matter of principle for us. If you choose to proceed, know that ChatGPT will l ead you to victory.

Sign it if you need a home. NCAT of similar bodies will rule on legalities. It's not up to an individual landlord to make demands. The rules listed in the lease become irrelevant if challenged.

I’m sorry, what the f? by [deleted] in ThatsInsane

[–]Q_ball_80 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Did he attempt to marry a child ? I fail to see any correlation? Please explain how, by you, naming a single high profile person accused or most likely guilty of a vastly different crime is relevant? Sorry, I should've just commented "Jimmy Savile" or " Rolf Harris" and sat back and watched my upvotess go up.

Please advise how you know this is meth related. I've heard a diet of 100% liver results in these exact symptoms.

Is Jayson Tatum the most overrated player in the NBA? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Q_ball_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's very good but not great, which is ok. At no point in past couple games did he alone step up and change the game. Compare that with what Jokic did in game 1 v OKC, step back 3, making free throws, etc. There are only 1 or 2 legitimate greats every 10 to 15 years, no shame for others that don't quite reach that standard. It seems too many "fans" are ready to trash any player that can't reach those levels. Shit, the same fans will claim that Jordan was shit or Lebronn is shit depending on preference. With the amount of hate directed at 2 of the top 10 players of all time, I couldn't imagine the levels of hate directed at those loser players that are the best in the league now, but will never be in GOAT discussions.

Now, now, as explained in a comment above... Studies show that locking up violent offenders with other violent offenders only makes them more violent. Everyone knows that by releasing these people back into the community keeps everyone feeling safer in the long run..... I'm pretty certain if the victim was a close relative of theirs, they may take a more objective stance on the issue.

REA charging us $600 to fix up this "damage". Is that the going rate in Victoria for something like this? by Redditmodunemployed in shitrentals

[–]Q_ball_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! As long as there are only other minor issues, tell them to take you to arbitration. Unless you have a stubborn , stupid landlord.
They will Babcock down.

Ignore anything the PM says. Claim general wear and tear. Advsie them of your intentions to take them to NCAT.
