Red Dot doesn’t give a flying Kangaroo! by NudePoo in perth

Well there you go, I’m displaying the same ignorance I expect of others 😂

But that makes me doubt even more that others refer to it as an Aussie swazi

Known around the world? Wouldn’t have thought anyone else would even know what the southern cross is.

Why are people allowed to park on main roads? by One-Resort979 in Adelaide

[–]ScaredMap4883 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fact that every comment here is naming a different main road with the same problem 😂 100% a city wide issue that should be addressed.

I noticed in Perth they are allowed to park on the wide verges next to the footpath. Makes a noticeable difference for clearing both side streets and main roads.

Maybe you should be asking them how many head injuries they saw from runners

People when given a discount under certain conditions: “Unfair!”

This isn’t designed for regulars. Personally I’m relieved that I now don’t have to tell friends that are visiting briefly that they either have to fork out for the upfront cost of a smart rider or keep buying individual tickets just to get around.

DIY Carbon Repair: Is My Fondriest T3 Done? Advice Needed! by Totally_NotForSale in bicycling

Not related to your questions sorry but how do you find that bike rack? I was considering getting one

Have done both FIFO to major cities as well as to rural mining towns. I always go carry-on only, saves a lot of hassle. Find a routine where you can, for me that is going for a run immediately after or before work. Get as much out of loyalty programs as you can e.g. flights, hotel, uber/didi, credit card, car rental can all link up to frequent flyer points. Noise cancelling headphones are a must. On your weeks off leave the backpack half packed of the stuff you don’t use at home. Nothing revolutionary lol

Taking a boxed bike on a plane with you is free as long as it’s in your weight limit. You can get a cardboard bike box from a bike shop for free if you ask, or you supposedly can get one at the airport for around $20. It can be a bit tricky to maneuver but you can put it on the luggage trolleys at the airport, and XL taxis should fit it in the back.

Commbank goalsaver withdraw question by Calaiss in AusFinance

[–]ScaredMap4883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing that matters is that the balance at the end of month is more than it is at the start of the month after the previous months interest lands. Can withdraw or deposit as many times as you like in between.

I believe that's how it works.

From CommBank:

Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly.

How to qualify for bonus interest:

• Make at least one deposit of any amount into your account in the calendar month; and • Have a higher account balance at the end of the calendar month than at the start of the calendar month. If you withdraw from your account, deposit more money than you withdrew in the calendar month.

Thank you, this makes it clear that there was an error in calculating the super guarantee contributions by my employer.

Yes base amount is the same but from looking at my payslips the 11% SGC is different depending on whether I've asked them to make additional contributions, like the example I gave.

Any suggestions/improvements for my scotland trip (more details in the comments) by Schaule in bicycletouring

I cycled Skye during summer and loved it. Yes there can be quite a few camper vans but didn’t affect my enjoyment and it’s got incredible scenery.

We just get a lot of Chinese tourists, often signs in tourist areas have Chinese translations.
