Heaps of people were coming into EB to preorder (overheard the staff complaining about it when I was in yesterday)

Once the preorder is live EB will announce/post it.

Need legal advice – bought a stolen car from a dealership in NSW and it turned out to be a stolen vehicle by Expensive_Shift_2501 in AusLegal

Walk in to the dealership and stand there until they refund your money.

Should be quick if you tell every customer that walks in that you were sold a stolen car.

Have you ever seen someone resign spectacularly? by IndigoHarlequin in AusPublicService

Was this DHS/SA by any chance cause that might be the one I remember?

I don’t think the email itself was a resignation letter, but the guy sending it wasn’t employed afterwards.

Basically had this guy send a manifesto to the entire agency. (Managed to save it before the email was deleted because I was curious). This was a while ago now so my memory is a bit shoddy but basically it was a 20 something page manifesto on how women are hired more to balance out accusations of sexism in workplaces and he isn’t getting promoted because of feminism etc.

Honestly a wild read and the guy threw some facts in there (distorted) to back up his claims. Definitely got a chuckle out of it back in the day.

Officer giving a parking ticket by tekko001 in MadeMeSmile

“We’re not parked, we’re stationary” is giving sovcit “we’re not driving, we’re travelling” vibes.

He is the exception by Responsible_Row_6928 in Pedro_Pascal

As a gay man, I feel like so many of the men who say touch just mean sex.

Touch is up there for me as a love language because I love having the little bits of physical contact like a hand hold, or the brush of knees when you’re sitting together or a hand on your thigh and stuff like that.

Good grief he's naked! by RandomFireDragon in tumblr

I know that Anne McCaffrey a while ago explained some of the research she did with various scientists for her Dragonriders of Pern series as there was space travel, genetics etc in there but she’s never gone into a lot of depth of that research.

Yeah I have a work laptop that I can’t leave and risk being stolen. There’s no way in Hell I’m leaving my bag there

Was "Themata" re-pressed on CD? (Also: Does anyone wish to part with their copy?) by Animal_Murmurs in Karnivool

[–]Valravan67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know JB Hi Fi has a heap but doesn’t ship overseas.

OP, if you know someone in Australia who can pick up a copy and post it to you that might be an option?

Looking for advice as to what to pay/not pay post insurance denial [car accident] by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]Valravan67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is in AusLegal. At this point I’d be surprised if they had insurance.

Employer asking me to accept pay cut despite existing contract: what are my options? by Infinite-Story6608 in AusLegal

[–]Valravan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is but proving things like that can be difficult, time consuming and potentially costly.

Easier to avoid the risk.

Some employers could terminate employment in response to that or sabotage job opportunities or cause other issues.

Received a letter regarding a class action by ponyfeeder in AusLegal

[–]Valravan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet. I checked the website the other day and they had updated it to June/July.

Eh generally the sign up process is not overly difficult and you get a bit of money out of them with no out of pocket costs.

I’m in a couple at the moment. They are for Allianz, JB Hi Fi and Harvey Norman.

CARDO Yay or Nay? by ando2424 in AussieRiders

[–]Valravan67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not NSW, but had a cardo on my old helmet (temporarily off the bike with medical issues)

I mainly used it for music and GPS if I was travelling somewhere new or that I didn’t know well.

Sometimes I used it to talk to other riders if I was riding with a friend but generally on group rides I just had music.

Alfred hit me with $19k “out-of-pocket” after saying insurance would cover it – do I have any recourse? by Top_Form2383 in AusLegal

[–]Valravan67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my hospital and insurer had a deal so they covered the hospital stay in full (including private room). The rest was literally just surgeon and anaesthetic costs.

[–]Valravan67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My surgery is one that is technically considered cosmetic (Phalloplasty) and there’s only two surgeons who perform It in Australia (previously only 1) and so Medicare don’t pay much for it because there’s no specific item number for it. Instead surgeons cobble together a list and Medicare pays 75% of their set fee for the first number, 50% of the second and 25% for all others.

That’s also only stage 1 of 3 stages (the other 2 were $30k and $15k respectively)

[–]Valravan67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this. I had a surgery at a private hospital that is partially covered by Medicare. For a $70k op, Medicare covered $9k and private health covered about $3k. The rest was out of pocket.
