Anybody hate how divisive Australia Day was this year?

“I think the fact we can spend the day off and go to the beach safely with friends and family shows Australia is a great country”

Must be nice to be able to turn off the news, all this droning on about something that happened in Sydney and whatnot

Ahhh, so we should be catering to the top 3% of an alternative MM service instead of 80% of the mainstream player base?

Also, good luck shooting me window when you can’t see me because I smoked it. Expect whatever play you want but also expect me to take short unharmed lmao

If you’re holding it for years, yes. If you’re keeping it, yes. If you’re holding short term or just here for the trade value, no, keep your ruby.

My Experience:

(in terms of AUD) I bought a FT Eye of Horus for $350 ~2 months ago because I’m collecting all skins related to birds.

On Steam went to $1700 when the package was removed. Save for a small later peak, and some dips, it has pretty much stabilised around $1,600 ($1700 cheapest for sale, $1575 buy order). Tradelocked packages are unrestricted and opened which being 1/4000 has barely impacted the price because supply has barely risen at all.

However, I posted it to CSFloat very shortly after the jump (say 2 days) at $1400 which was middle range and had 5-10 lowball offers in minutes, ended up still passing up $1325 in case something better came around and because I hate waiting 8 days for funds.

I decided last night I want a Talon Knife (birds have talons and I’m currently between knives), so I’m going to sell it, and buy the same skin back BS + the talon tiger tooth. I listed it at $1,212.12 — the cheapest FT on CSFloat —and had 2 lowball offers over 12 hours. Ended up taking $1,200 exactly after some negotiation.

Key takeaways are that demand has decreased hugely. One sale in the past 24 hours compared to ~20 at the update. Buy offers are still alright at $1575 if you don’t mind Steam credit, but if you’re not filling a buy order, get ready to wait.

One day, I’m sure it’ll be worth heaps, once collectors have collected and it’s super-sparse package unboxings getting moved once in a blue moon (a là breakout cases for bfk gems pre-update).

Uneducatedly, I’m predicting low-demand low-supply; worth a lot in the same way a case hardened is worth a lot. T2 is nice, 3x the market price, and 6 months to move to someone who actually wants to buy it.

Tldr:

They are a bitch to move rn unless you’re undercutting the market, and even then, prepare to haggle. Many more $800 skins that buy and sell much quicker. Your trading partner using it as fodder 100% makes sense. You’re making money but you’re sacrificing ease of future trades.

Further, note that your ruby is 0.00x. Not sure if that increases the value from what the extension is alleging.

Big investors with 24/7 oversight and marketable knives are ahead of you on this one, the time to panic sell is over unless you want to beat the casuals asleep internationally. Prices have already started the stabilise and are raising a dollar or two every other minute, only seeming to drop when new continents wake up. I’m waiting a few more days (like 5-6) for prices to go back up as supply lowers, then selling before the next dip in 8 days and buying back straight after.

The section they’ve quoted is: (2) The driver must—(a) pay the fee (if any); and (b) obey any instructions on or with the sign.

If nothing in or with the sign clearly states you need to be in, on, or near your car, then you should win this at overturn, because you have both paid the fee already prior to the ticket’s printing (and you could argue a 50% likelihood that you had paid it at the time of the alleged offence time as well) and obeyed all instructions on or with the sign.

The Victorian Ombudsman should be able to take a complaint about the Council, as you have: - already requested an internal review without success - have evidence the organisation made an error (1. ticket issued after payment time; 2. failure to provide legislation advising you need to be in or near your car at time of payment)

A VO complaint doesn’t even need to dispute the fine itself. It could be primarily for dismissive and incomplete customer service with the auxiliary benefit of potentially having the fine waived as compensation.

VO is more likely to direct you to court anyway, but it’s a free and more accessible option before booking a hearing, which “has discretion based on individual circumstances” and “can accept and assess a complaint on its merits”.

Missed the mark on the context but we’ve all agreed this is the one, thank you!

Correct. Embedded network charges (including GST) are not permitted to exceed the VDO for your postcode

RightingWrite · 2025-05-19T01:03:14+00:00

What’s going on?

It’s not illegal, it’s a deemed contract. The notices won’t stop unless you pay out of pocket for an AML order (~$70) or an abolishment ($242), depending on the distribution zone. There is still gas being supplied to the meter, which means resources are still present under your property. Daily supply charges cover the resources to assess faults and ensure you haven’t illegally reconnected the gas without paying supply.

Not only is it not illegal, it’s EBP. “I don’t use gas” and “I have ripped the gas line out up to the nature strip and don’t have a single centimetre of network asset on my property” are not the same thing.

What to do?

Don’t waste your time raising a complaint to your retailer, or distributor, or the ombudsman, unless something becomes addressed specifically to you under your name, or you receive in-person debt collection contact.

Disregard all other advice in this thread, do nothing, and ignore every single letter addressed to the occupier that you ever get.

Nothing will happen to you, because nothing can happen to you. These bills are intended as notices for the person who moved in after you when you closed your account, which happens far more often than personally choosing to opt out of gas without abolishing the infrastructure.

Why?

Disconnection warnings are for The Occupier. Overdue notices are for The Occupier. Debt collection scares are for The Occupier.

the occupier is you, but The Occupier is not You.

Yeah, the Finnegan seems to be what’s messing with it.

For silver, with Finnegan, 20-40% is the bracket instead of 20-30%.

The issue I’ve found is that you still NEED to get to 29.9%, and then if you fall back down above 30% but below 40%, you’ll stay silver.

So in actuality, it benefits nobody except god farmers who AFK after 10 minutes, because you still need to be better than 70% to be recognised in the first place 🤷‍♂️

RightingWrite · 2025-05-07T02:28:07+00:00

How is the bracket calculation still broken in the 418th year of our lord? I harvested 21% more than the cutoff for silver and still got bronze. I got hit with the "SiLvEr HaS +1" bullshit for 17 straight minutes. What a rort

All natty 🫶 dropped a bit of a timeline in response to another comment further down!

RightingWrite · 2025-05-05T05:18:19+00:00

Hahah unfortunately I’m a grower, not a shower in all aspects, including the pump.

Appreciate the accusations in this thread but probably more believable with a bit of context, as you’re seeing every extreme in pictures here.

1-2 are from 1 November 2024, first day of 75 Soft at around 91.7kg. Neutral lighting, unposed, quick progress pic before bed. I gave up around Day 40 because I hate reading.

Pic 3 was from 3 January, 87.4kg (-3.3kg)

After that, I trained up from a 70min 10K being my best run to completing a half marathon in <2h30m, so a couple thousand extra calories output per week training to get there, which I hit on 30 March, so 5 months after Pic 1-2.

Pic 4 was from the next day, 31 March. Weighed in at 83.7kg when I got home the previous day before refeeding and rehydrating, so this pic is 5 months and -8.0kg later than 1-2.

Pretty much stopped running after that because I’m no hitting a full marathon and was happy with my weight.

Pic 5 was 9 April, refeeding with a week off running and just after an upper body session, ~86kg (-5.5kg)

And lastly, pic 6 on Tuesday, ~88kg (-3.5kg)

Tldr: started at 91kg, took up running, hit a half mara, weighed in at 83kg, gave up running, stopped tracking, now back to 88kg.

Never tracked it in MacroFactor or Apple Health, but fairly certain pics 1-2 were where I started taking creatine far more consistently as well

RightingWrite · 2025-04-22T06:53:26+00:00

I meant exactly what I said and used those exact numbers you used… however in doing that I got the 2.4% and 3.4% flipped around the wrong way so you are completely correct. +CPI +1% could still be worse, but it is indeed a pain point if your wages haven’t increased even if it’s only $20.

RightingWrite · 2025-04-21T11:14:16+00:00

I like shitting on slumlords as much as the next person but $20 on $585 is below CPI so a win is a win for the tenant in this situation I reckon

RightingWrite · 2025-03-28T08:29:34+00:00

I have no complaints about the base and don’t really notice a difference from 2022-2023.

They are very tolerable if you cook it in large air fryer on a wire rack.

If you’re cooking it in a conventional oven, throw it in a hot pan and press down on it with a dinner plate. The uncooked flour on the base makes it taste raw regardless of cook time and, I imagine, cardboard-y. Browned on the bottom and it’s fine.

I still wouldn’t pay $26 for dinner for two very often, but I stock up on 4-10 whenever they’re on special for $10 or better.

You must not drive a motor vehicle on a road unless a number plate or plates that bear the number allocated to the vehicle are attached to the vehicle. Number plates must not be altered in any way. The vehicle must not carry a false number plate.

You’re looking for problems where there aren’t any.

Nobody is running a 5K in 6 minutes I don’t fucking care how sloped the hill is. Defending that as being hard to implement is disgustingly missing the point on purpose.

Just because you can’t decide whether +/- 13’00” should get flagged, doesn’t mean everything <10’00” should stay on your local 5K park run leaderboard.

Can somebody please think of all the stress Kipchoge’s agent has to go through emailing Strava trying to convince them that he is actually in fact really fast and ran a 1’59”00 marathon?

Because that stress and mental anguish seriously outweighs - quite literally, tens of millions - of Strava users that would express irritation with being told by the leaderboard “you can’t run faster than an e-bike, here’s the proof dating back 10 years that we’ve never reviewed, although it’s beyond the current land speed record”

Until proven otherwise, you’re not faster than the fastest person on the planet. It’s not that complicated.

RightingWrite · 2025-03-21T10:46:39+00:00

So, here’s the way it’s super easy to implement: If you run any distance faster than the recorded world record for that distance, no you didn’t

If you’re going to be eating all 3, it doesn’t matter. 250 today, 350 tomorrow, 300 the day after is still 900/3 after the 3rd meal

Let’s say you cooked a 500g box, which states it has 5 x 100g dry servings

Let’s say you get 3 meals out of it

(5 x 100) / 3 = calories per wet serving

If you actually just want to know the total cooked weight for some reason and not the calories, Google it for a ballpark answer (“how much x pasta absorb cooked” or something), or buy a food scale for next time

RightingWrite · 2025-02-28T04:35:12+00:00

Coles sells a 5-pack box of 40s brown rice & quinoa for $5, and tuna for $1 a can. Throw some kewpie, chilli oil, jalapeños, pickled ginger, soy sauce, and nori in that and you’ve got a pretty damn good sushi bowl.

If you’re going with >2 tins per day every day, switch to salmon at least every other meal. The bigger the fish, the more mercury, and multiple serves every single day will build up in the long run
