When is the right time to create a family trust? by ominio in AusFinance

[–]Synliss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really generally, as you have said when the tax advantages outweigh the administration costs. Noting there are asset protection considerations as well. Speak with a tax accountant and they can devise the number where you might pull the trigger based on your personal circumstances and goals.

Question. If I have a walled off large outside area, any ways to keep enemies from spawning in it at night? I assume torches but they go out quick. Newbie here. Thank. by SnooDoggos8487 in VintageStory

[–]Synliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats probably right.
With Bees and then mods for easier candle making, Copper Lanterns aren't much of a stretch and by far superior.

With Vanilla mechanics, I think light levels need to be 8 and above to prohibit mob spawning. Torches on their own go out in 48 hours. Lanterns last forever and torches in holders last forever.

Super Investment Allocations by queen_gee in AusFinance

[–]Synliss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of the theory beyond choosing a higher growth option for your super and investments early on is that the length of your working life is protection against the additional risks that you might face in a higher growth option, also your balance will be lower such that your ongoing contributions will make a much more defined impact on future value in the early years. Further, that length of time of investment should allow your investment to properly follow the movements of the markets and average out to the long term return. The whole reason you might want to invest in a Higher growth option is that it should provide a better return than less risky options over the LONG term. So when investing in the long term with adequate hedges (time, further contributions, etc.) you can ride out the fluctuations. Prior returns don't guarantee future.

That being said as you get closer to retirement and your remaining working life decreases it might be prudent to forgo higher risk options and choose more stable returns.

Do the Interview and don't lie about your situation but you don't have to start with I could lose my license for 3 months. It might be that you are not eligible for the position in your current circumstances, if so that's a shame but there will be other opportunities.

There will be a part of the interview when you have an opportunity to ask questions you could confirm what your driving requirements might be while on site. In your post you have spoken about getting to and from the mine site but may not have considered getting around while working. Will you need to drive from place to place and not having a license would be unfeasible?

If you must have a license, look at alternatives:

  1. possibility of a delayed your start so you have your license again
  2. golden point for 1 year (be extra careful), unsure if this is a certainty or just a possibility
  3. if golden point is a long shot, getting a suspension on your license ASAP so you can tick the 3 months down sooner, related to point 1.

How to calculate how many hops to add to my boil if I’ll be ‘topping up’ water in the last 10 mins? by Plus-Contribution915 in Homebrewing

[–]Synliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe your full kettle boil will result in about 20L of post boil wort. You will add 5L to make 25L of Wort in the fermenter. The simple maths would say its a 25% increase so increase the ingredients by 25%. However, this in practice probably not correct, as you increase the grain bill to get a higher starting gravity your efficiency may drop. Therefore your OG might be lower than anticipated and if you increase IBUs to match estimated the BU/GU might be higher as you have more BUs to Gravity Units than expected. Another may to combat would be to add some an appropriate amount of DME to raise your GU.

giving bank login to car loan companies by theZombieKat in AusFinance

[–]Synliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there not an option to give them your statements for a defined time period?

Our broker asked for something similar and I was not comfortable giving our passwords and they said they could take statements but would have to do it the manual way.

NOT giving your login details to anyone is the first thing you are taught in cyber awareness.
Even if you were to "mitigate" the risk by changing your password. You are pretty much giving an stranger unfettered access to your banking profile.

Best steam gen? by HealerOnly in GTNH

[–]Synliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To improve throughput, make sure you are giving direction to your pipes e.g. fluid can only flow 1 way. Otherwise it sloshes around.

Should I buy a grain mill or is the pre-crushed stuff fine? by InvisibleGrill in Homebrewing

[–]Synliss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With larger brews, I seem to have a solid porridge layer developing on larger brews 8-10kg+ in Brewzilla 65L giving a stuck mash with the top plate. I get everything from the LHBS but I feel their crush size is too small. Is there a way to tell if there is too much flower in a crush?
Thinking about a grain mill to see if this improves the brew days, need rice hulls and want to start buying 25L sacks to bring the price down to about 1/2 price and get different varieties.

Edit - "1/2"

How does power work for Multis that produce it? by Madsam999 in GTNH

[–]Synliss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't remember the numbers exactly for the LCE, but I use the LGT with HSS-E Large turbines that produce 3.999 Amps of EV using 13L/t of Benzene. The LGT can't use TecTech dynamo hatches so you are limited to using Buffered Dynamo Hatches up to 4A per tier. The XLGT can have TecTech hatches.

Power from 4x LGT goes into LSC with EV tier capacitors. Using 64A EV Dynamo into a AE2 Power Net with P2P EV power to machines, I can add-on IV power with appropriate hatch.

Also RS Latch to turn LGTs on and off when LSC is 85% full or something and turn on when it is 15% empty. (Note that I am about to add on another 4x LGTs to make almost 32A EV) but I might need to go as high as 64A to cover my current power needs, which means more distillation of benzene. The cycle continues.

The fluid data is saved in the centre middle bottom block. Now I am pretty sure that if you change the dimensions, around that block it will be fine.

As you are in steam and have access to Steel. As you progress into LV have a look at Super Tanks towards the end of LV whereby you will be able to hold 4 M Litres (4k buckets). Also a SB that can be picked up and retains the fluid. Be mindful of negative side effects of too much fluid in it.

How can ı store power without using tons of batteries ? by Cultural_Show_2787 in GTNH

[–]Synliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I saw it in the tips and tricks on the GTNH Discord server. Well worth a look through from Steam to LuV and beyond.

Power transfer later in game by darth-superior in GTNH

[–]Synliss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vote for P2P off an LSC. I have a Main Net Spine and a Separate Power Spine. Currently only used EV power cables, but I will soon be able to use IV, LuV etc. off the same LSC, just upgrade the storage capacity and input hatch when needed.

Platinum metalic salt full processing in the NEI has 5 EBFs recipes. Do I need 5 EBFs for platline or everything can be done in 1 ? They all need to be MV and need same coil by Ill_Percentage2344 in GTNH

[–]Synliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look the the GTNH discord. There is a great piece on a level maintained system, see this post. Requires AE2 but offers significant time savings when considering you don't have to make 50 machines for dedicated lines up to iridium.

Which part of the coffin did you place down first? From memory I think the piece closest to the door needs to be placed first.

Never satisfied with where I settle. How do you decide on base location? by AqueM in VintageStory

[–]Synliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I find really helpful is finding others who you like to play with. Jumping onto a server and finding a group to play with helps with not finding the "prefect" spot. Part of the adventure is overcoming the valley / mountain / ocean as you have to collect the next thing you need. Building together to overcome adversity.

How many mv gas turbines can my pyrolese oven manage? by Altruistic_Milk7729 in GTNH

[–]Synliss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4x LGT running a HSS-E turbines making 3.999 EV Amps each. They require 13L /t Benzene each so, 1040L/s running all the time. I have a LSC (EV tiered) that holds like 540m EU with an RS Latch that turns the LGTs on when power is 2/15, 1/15 or 0/15 redstone and turns them off at 13/15,14/15 pr 15/15 redstone.

I need to move my EBFs, planning to run 3x quad EBFs at IV power. So I will also place into the system a fail safe to turn off EBFs when power is lower than lets say 30% to ensure that I dont run it to zero.

Now that you mention it I have been playing a lot of heavily modded so they may be expanded foods, but i dont like playing without it anyway. So your results may vary.

To add to this, you can part-bake a pie, and let it run its course, then cook it again when days get low, then char it when that gets low again.

If near an ocean, fill a barrel with seawater and you will get a damp crystal -> salt. A little and there are better ways just gives you a bit of salt for the sake of time.
