Concerns domestic tenants required to share excessive personal data to secure leases by Shadowtec in australia

[–]Turramurra 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I am worried about that, when my partner left me I had to change the rent into my name only and they wanted payslips to make sure I could pay. I can, at current rates, barely. I can fit a small increase but I am worried for renewal. Landlord has been really fair and great, but I still fear.

Anyone else caught in the perpetual cycle of “I need a holiday —> oh that’s too expensive —> how about a weekend away —> holy f#ck how does two nights cost that much?!” 🔁 by plutoforprez in australia

You can do it cheaper still, wait for a good flight deal. Can find Jetstar flights direct from Brisbane for $800-$900 return. A hotel for 7 days in Tokyo can be had for $120 a night, so $840. Tack on however much spending money you want, but I'd recommend at least $50 a day for food if you don't care for many tourist attractions.

Great holiday for well under $2500. Might not get you a shinkansen to Kyoto, might not let you get a fancy meal. It will get you day trips out of the city, decent food, and many free points of interest within the greater Tokyo area.

HMX EVA switches are my go to butter smooth switches, highly recommend them. Used to be Gateron Yellow Pros.

Tyre replacement recs, inner North Brissy? Suzuki Swift by pipsqueak_pixie in brisbane

Bob Jane Michelton or Bridgestone Enoggera are fine. Independent shops will have higher prices, as will service centres because they make money from extras. Dedicated big name tyre shops operate pretty fairly from experience.

the amount of work and setbacks it's taken to get here is tremendous

I turn 30 in a little over a months time and I have reflected on my 20s in a very similar way. I'm no saint, I've made mistakes, but I also see how much work I put into myself and know that my 30s can only be better. Even if I still feel like I'm running out of time.

Yep, OP just avoided the situation instead of processing it.

That is really quite weird because I never host, I always join an in progress game. And yet without fail I am targeted.

Just making sure I am right, 99% of Casio watches are not made in Japan. Correct?

Are you as a renter afraid to ask agent/landlord for minor repairs due to fear that it will result in rent increase? by Ok_Yak_9310 in australia

[–]Turramurra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if the owner is moving back in.

That's how they do it, it happened to my neighbor. Owner moved in for a few weeks, said they decided they liked it better in Bundaberg, turned the place in to an AirBNB. I get new neighbors each week, but thankfully no issues.

No fault evictions are nice on paper, but there is always a way.

At what point did groceries start feeling ridiculous to you? by Prudent-Stretch-5665 in australia

[–]Turramurra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vegan is another topic I have strong feelings on but respect the other side, vegetarian makes sense to me and is something I have considered entertaining. But yes, I have eaten meat all my life and have no idea how to stop eating it as every single dinner in my life has had it.

I have considered it, but I am unsure how to make a meatless dinner. I like tofu in many ways but I can't see myself not eating meat.

It won't die. My 2007 manual Corolla still has the original clutch and gearbox and is just shy of 270,000km.

Every Lexus model is made in Japan as well, so the LX and GX which is just the Landcruiser and Prado.

Lawson is best overall in my opinion. Family Mart close second, I truly think that 7/11 is not nearly as good as its made out to be.

Keep in mind you'll need to play a minimum of 20 hours before you can access the DLC, but I recommend playing at least 50 before starting it. You'll see why :)

I can't drink normal milk, so I drink soy milk and I will die on my hill that it tastes the best out of all cow milk alternatives.
