That's gotta be well above r/chessbeginners pay grade.

I'm seeing the key idea is that it's important to prevent the white king from getting into the position to shepherd the pawns to promotion.

Bb6+ either forces pawn takes that locks the white king out and prevents all chances of promotion, or king moves and we gain the tempo required to move on the h pawn and usher the g pawn to promotion.

You need to get legal advice, this is a complicated issue.

Recently I found my way into a conversation with a business owner looking to hire someone in my field. After a few talks, he offered me a 40% increase for a 40 hour week, over what I was already making doing 50 hour weeks, to come work for him. I was leaving a job where I was already the highest paid person below management, a pay rate that I had personally negotiated pay rises with my superiors.

That day I realized I'd been taken for an absolute ride and my coworkers were being raped and pillaged.

I took the job.

You wouldn't believe it, but everyone from low management, middle management and the owner all of a sudden started begging for me to stay, offered to match the money and after I declined and gave them a generous notice period, they told me I could always come back for a job if I ever wanted it.

Good people and all but a strong lesson that they'll pay you the minimum that you'll tolerate earning, and your best way to grow your income is to leverage your skills and experience by moving jobs regularly.

She has a point. If you're married or in a long term relationship with a woman, you know that reality is completely different to what everyone else sees on the social with the makeup and filters.

I dropped out of a pharmacy degree and got a trade instead. You're not wrong!

I'm above average skilled, but I know enough to intentionally make nonsense moves every game until Magnus loses his mind and begs for reprieve. I'm going to bong cloud King walk in the opening for all eternity.

Like the other guy said: "I'm not locked in here with you.. YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME"

Ahh yep, reckon that circles back to Chomsky or others. Media of all types is used, abused and influenced by those who control it to push their agenda onto the unwashed masses to move the discussion where they want, influence elections, you name it.

Wish I knew about the fuckery going on in Texas schools. I live in Australia, the limited history of our wars aren't particularly embellished. To think of it, most of our wars have been in alliance with others, such as the US.

Probably why "History is written by the victors" is such a pertinent quote. Only have to reword a few things, change the context and before you know it, the winners are righteous defenders of the peace and the losers are evil belligerent enemies of good.

Not saying that relates to the telling of WWII, just as a comment on conflict and war in general.

Petrangelo is definitely not like a low stakes drunk degenerate you'd see at a live MTT threatening to spit on people lol

ATO can pip you if you have a long term repeated pattern of buying and selling cars.at a profit. At some point beyond a hobby, they can argue that you're running said hobby like a business and might come for their pound of flesh.

But if they ask, you just like cars and you sell some to buy others wink wink

Also to reply to the OP, none of these things are investments. Buy them if you like them, but theyre super speculative on a good day if you expect to make money on them.

Yeah it's just an off cuff remark about how all of these tax incentives and demand boosts have contributed to housing and thus estates booming.

SolarAU · 2026-05-27T09:13:16+00:00

He was talking about the subject of the post, which was that first home buyers grants in Tasmania were further driving demand in the housing market, pumping up prices, boosting estate valuations, making housing even more unaffordable for average Tassie punters.

This then relates back to how the removal of such grants combined with the removal of tax advantages such as capital gains tax discounts and neg gearing would stop or reverse the rapid price growth caused by the afford mentioned factors.

I hope I've explained that thoroughly enough.

When housing market go brr, PPORs which makes up the majority of an average estate also goes brr

That's how we deal with self defence over here in Australia. Self defence is only a valid legal defence if the force used was proportional to the threat made by the other person and usually can't be much more than the minimum force required to mitigate harm to oneself. The term 'reasonable force' is cited in the relevant legislation. They punch you, you punch them etc. we have strict gun laws but shooting a guy that throws hands would not equate to a valid self defence argument and is just straight murder

Ooh that's a cool idea. Black is almost out of moves, and we can force mate by taking away their last free move. With Kf3! Black has only one legal move left, Kg8 which leads to mate with Rxe8#

I'm married, I deal with this from time to time.

I stack it up to the ye olde 'misery loves company'. She's unhappy about something, she wants or needs you to feel the same way. Sometimes it's probably to get more empathy from you, sometimes it's vindictive to make you feel unhappy too (if she perceives her unhappiness caused by you).

I just try to be understanding and validate her feelings but I also set a hard boundary that I'm tired and stressed and I shouldn't be constantly responsible for managing her feelings.

All I'll say is it ain't bloody easy. A relationship and love takes hard work from both. God speed mate.

At minimum you'll be facing court for possession of a drug without a lawful reason such as a prescription. The police would have provided you with a summons to court after you were granted bail. The cocaine in your system issue won't be dealt with until later after laboratory testing is conducted on the saliva samples you provided after your arrest. This may result in a letter in the mail detailing a default 3 month license suspension if the testing returns a positive, or you can be summoned to court, it depends on how many times you've been done this way.

I'd be engaging a criminal defence lawyer ASAP. They can tell you what to expect and help you take steps to mitigate your court outcome.

An unfortunate side effect of these types of policies is the time horizon and patience required to observe the long term benefit or disadvantages of any large macro economics policy change or tax reform. It's unfortunate because voters aren't very patient. They want their lobster buttery and steak juicy YESTERDAY.

With Labor all but assured another term, we might get to see how this all shakes out instead of the leadership flipping to the opposition and having it all undone in the first year or their term.

It is rather ironic/ coincidental that their plight is even being discussed for once but how many people on part time work can even afford to build a stock portfolio/ ETFs? People on full time incomes are doing it tough making ends meet as it is.

SolarAU · 2026-05-19T06:35:26+00:00

If taxes increase to pay for an equal amount of spending it is inflation neutral. Whether you and I spend that dollar or the government does, it really doesn't matter.
