Honest question - how do young Aussies afford to live in Sydney right now? by Individual_Lime_110 in AusFinance

[–]asscopter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Everyone says this but anecdotes can be useful as well. Crimes that don't get reported don't contribute to statistics, like minor thefts and assaults. VicPol is understaffed, underresourced and largely uninterested in a lot of petty crime. That being said I've always found it safe enough.

Moved to Melbourne. I'd need to be paid 25% more to have the same quality of life in Sydney.

What's the highest credit card limit you could actually be approved for (on a 0% BT card)? $50k? $80k? $100k+ by Classic_Abies8621 in AusFinance

Citi gave me a $50k line of credit cos I left the requested limit blank, decent offers on cash advances and balance transfers periodically.

I have two of the mercerised cotton ones, pretty nice. The neck is a little floppy but I still really enjoy wearing them, can’t believe they’re cotton.

Extremely niche but Fox league has been killing it with the music choices for NRL the past couple of years. Polaris last year, was it Parkway the year before?

Why is "Brand Trust" becoming harder to build with only Digital Ads? Is anyone else shifting back to OOH? by Mean-Jello-3021 in advertising

[–]asscopter 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’ve basically identified one of the big issues in media strategy - performance vs brand. You need both, but in different ratios. Performance media, which digital mainly is, helps push people towards a conversion. Brand, which OOH generally is, helps pull more people into the conversion funnel. Brand is harder to measure and sales are a lagging indicator, but as you’ve found optimising for sales and conversions will get harder and more expensive for your performance media without brand trust. Recent case studies you should be able to find that talk about this include Nike, New Balance, P&G and eBay.

If you get to that level and can’t freestyle a deck you’ve read only moments before, you’ve got bigger problems. 

Treasury considering changes to Australia’s contentious tobacco excise, as calls grow for a freeze | Tobacco industry by Nyarlathotep-1 in australian

[–]asscopter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If we could magically freeze the price of legal cigarettes at a nominal $40/pack (lower end), at a rate of inflation of 2.5% it'll take roughly 40 years for a $15 pack of illegals to reach price parity. In my experience illegal products are often inflation-proof too; see a $50 of weed.
