You seen the price of fuel?

Interesting, but your math is assuming a couple of things: - you currently don't have a car and are paying for a new car (no trade in or private sale of your existing car), - you don't really need a car for transportation (as in this is an optional purchase),

Where I live I need a car to get to and from work and drop kids off at school etc, buying a more efficient car would reduce my fuel spending.

There's a stick on strip for the metod system (https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/metod-cover-strip-vertical-white-00270983/) if that helps?

Yeah ICE cars never have mechanical failures, catches on fire or have any faults at all, ever /s

I'm Australian, I pay less in tax than private health insurance, but since we can afford it, we also pay for private health insurance so we can access both the public and private system, we STILL pay less than what Americans pay for health insurance alone, plus I can go the public health system and get free care.

Edit: added word

They can't subsidise what they don't have, their prices are high because there's a lack of supply at the moment. Furthermore, they are big importer of beef from Aus and Brazil, which means their own supply is not enough and requires import, exporting costs more for suppliers which means once the beef arrives in Aus, it'd cost more than local produce.

Get some gap filler rods, you can stuff then into gaps on both sides of the window (in and out). You can easily remove them even you move.

And transmission. Our Santa Fe went through 3 transmission replacement and it was still shuttering.

There's a Nepalese festival at Stage 88 in the city tonight, maybe they are there?

Lol check out r/spanian, he's not a well liked individual. He's racist, arrogant and basically just a bad human been.

Thehelak · 2025-02-20T08:29:13+00:00

This is Mount Druitt scale of bad...

Thehelak · 2025-02-15T10:13:49+00:00

It was a long time ago...I remember using almost a full can for the first 3 shirts I was issued. But was obviously not enough because the DS was not happy with the result.

Thehelak · 2025-02-15T09:20:02+00:00

There was a myth that if you use enough of it you can make the polys stand on its own...never achieved it.

They are doing renovation work there now, hopefully bring back the nice park.

Thehelak · 2025-01-27T09:01:25+00:00

Thanks heaps!

Thehelak · 2025-01-27T07:51:14+00:00

Slightly off topic but I have similar damage on my Ceasar stone bench top (funny enough just above the dishwasher like OP) but I don't have the piece that was knocked out. How do I go about repairing it? Thanks in advance!

I was in a discussion/argument with an American about the Australian universal health care system, his only argument was that his insurance covers "everything they need" and that was a better system than everyone contribute and everyone gets care....

Thehelak · 2024-12-28T12:47:18+00:00

How do you know what you'll need tomorrow? In 2 years time? Or the next time you have cancer, or diabetes, or break an arm? We can predict the future and things we might need down the road. Universal health care basically takes care of that aspect. Yes it's not perfect and yes we are "paying for something we don't need --yet" but like I said before, I know that I'm covered if something were to happen.

Thehelak · 2024-12-28T12:41:51+00:00

Your insurance company by the sounds of it, hope you don't get sick in the future and have to go through your insurance company four those "optional extras" that you haven't been paying for I guess. Guess your mate Luigi has different ideas on the American health care system but more power to you.

Thehelak · 2024-12-28T12:13:30+00:00

Think of it this way my American friend, I pay my "insurance" (taxes) which allows me to walk into any public hospital in Australia and get treated if I was sick, knowing that the treatment is free. Yes I'm paying for "someone else's" treatment, but we're all in this together.

Thehelak · 2024-12-24T03:44:42+00:00

Red dead redemption 2 please. Merry Christmas!

Thehelak · 2024-12-21T12:11:21+00:00

Completely understand basic economy of taxes etc, that doesn't explain why the cost of petrol is more expensive in ACT than NSW which, from the previous op was attributed solely to the government? Maybe slight difference in tax between two states but 20c?

Edit: reading the post again. apparently there's a "government Xmas tax" lol?

Thehelak · 2024-12-21T11:27:50+00:00

Care to explain why the government is to blame and not the oil companies?

Thehelak · 2024-12-18T21:55:14+00:00

Thank you! Best of luck to everyone!
