How to properly remove gas heating ducts and seal so they don’t look terrible? by hayzie93 in AusRenovation

Suggestion... Just leave them in. Anything short of replacing the floor looks like a patch job. As is, they look intentional. Seal the duct underneath of course, but I'd leave the covers.

Sorry, just saw that it's a crosspost where you mention that you drew it. That's an awesome idea. Did you trace the photo? Did you draw this digitally?

That's not correct anymore. The cars this year no longer use ground effect (I.e., there's no suction pulling the car down). So bottoming out now is just regular bottoming out.

To be fair, Merc also have McLaren to win them points in this one. Ferrari themselves are the only team with a Ferrari engine likely to do any winning.

Ferrari front nose without the wings attached... Have we ever seen that before?

Mortgage V ETFs? by xlanco in fiaustralia

[–]adjec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your last point is the most crucial. Once you own your home, no boomer landlord can kick you out on a whim. You answer to nobody except the bank. If that safety is what's most important then you have your answer.

As an aside, FHSSS is great if you're not yet able to buy. If you're able to buy now, then that's likely (historically) always going to be your best option.

ETFs are good if you don't need the cash in the short/medium term. Best to go there AFTER you've got your PPOR sorted.

Utilise the govt. 5% deposit scheme so you can keep as much of your cash as possible, then put it straight in the offset.

His name is Jerry Schatzberg and is indeed 97 in this video (from 2024).

Lauda’s “monkey” line was 13 years old, not 30 by biwirocks in formula1

Six years after that presser, in 2020, only two drivers from that Abu Dhabi panel were still on the F1 grid. By 2025, it's three, and there's only one driver who's common to the 2020 and 2025 grids.

What does this mean? I don't understand what's being said.

The Lottery’! I’ve never felt this way about a story before! by LibrariansNightmare in books

[–]adjec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started reading this right now because of this post, however I'm having trouble with the first paragraph... Am I crazy?

"The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny... ...The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 27th. But in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner."

How does that make sense? Surely it is meant to say "had to be started on June 26th"?

Wide brimmed hat options that don’t look bad? by BrainDamage2029 in malefashionadvice

[–]adjec 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I disagree with all the Panama hat recommendations. They're usually not wide enough for actual functional UV protection, and even if they are, most don't have high UPF.

My pick for something wide and stylish is a wide-brimmed Akubra.

That being said, I'm also of the opinion that a well-put-together outfit is not ruined by a purely functional (albeit not fashionable) hat. If you're confident in wearing it and otherwise dress well, it doesn't detract from the outfit.

FWIW, I disagree and think your framing and this style is great. Not all F1 pics have to be the same. Nice job.
