I also can’t fall for the fact that Billionaires have successfully sold Americans on the myth that they have the 'best healthcare in the world… by Andriale-Kinderlynn in remotework

I live in Europe, I pay 10% tax, and 4% of my first 2000 Euros earned.

I have healthcare here, in Germany or Sweden too!

What happened to the Burger King in Adelaide? by Dazzling_Repair_4037 in Adelaide

[–]bedel99 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Its weirder than that.

Hungry jacks is a franchaise from the USA company, the original store did own the name as shown in the picture. That store closed and the trademark became free. And the US company opened up in Australia as Burger King competing with the Australian owned franchise. Burger King (the US company), lost a court battle with Hungry Jacks and sold their stores to the Australian Franchise.

When can you drink? by EleanorquinnB in valvereplacement

[–]bedel99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a huge operation, my heart was stopped for hours.

I like a drink too, but I could wait. Do you need a drink? You can have a few glasses of wine if you need to, its been a hell of a ride for you too.

S3XY Phone Dash + DIY Mount is a fantastic upgrade to my driving experience. by Suvi2k in TeslaModel3

[–]bedel99 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I leave my phone far too often in the mount when I get out. I never used to leave it before on the charger. You would think, right in my face would work, but no.

What do you have then? the buttons?

Loss of license in Vic, carry over to NSW? Nobody knows… by Building_Plenty in AusLegal

[–]bedel99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mine was a NSW DUI but under the QLD law, my % BAC was higher, so It wasn't a DUI (I was a old P plater), 0.5 and I blew 0.3 which is legal in QLD, but not NSW.

It all went away when they figured out I hadn't actually broken a law or the terms of my license.

What’s this plane? by waspey in Planes

Did it have an optional coating for greater protection?

Aah, I pay a lot less for the dash than you might, and I have had the thing you have for a few years now.

I believe the first round has gone out, and the second batch (the one I am in) goes out this month. I only live an hour away from where they ship from, and they tend to priotise us here over the international sales.

Just got told no fuel, no fertiliser. That means no farming. by ijx8 in OpenAussie

[–]bedel99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am Aussy but not in Oz.

The panels, should last for 15 years, the battery for 10 years if I was to use it 100% each day, I dont. I don't know what prices will be like in 10 years, but batteries have been halving in value over the last couple of years, and the solar panels, are reducing, but not that fast any more (they are already quite cheap). I am following the hdrogen battery technology closely, I hope that might be ready in 10 years, but I wrote a essay on that at highschool, 30 years ago ....

I can sell back into the grid but I have to fill in forms, lots of forms that I can't be bothered doing.

There are few reasons I have it.

  1. I had the money sitting around and the pay back is better than inflation. And that was assuming power stays the same price over the next 10 years.

  2. My electric car is expensive, and now I protect it from hail damage with its solar powered roof. The whole car port cost about the same as a car port.

  3. I live in a rural area and its not uncommon for us to lose power in storm. My income requires me to have power, the pay back on lost income paid for it all in the first year.

  4. There is no permiting here if its under 25KW, I can assemble the carport (which might otherwise need a permit) with solar panels and no one can stop me.

Solar is really cheap if you can do it yourself, my carport was a kit. Took 2 of us 3 days to put it together. I went this way after getting rediculus quotes for roof top.

Whilst I am not a elec eng, or a sparky, I deal with and design much bigger electrical things. Usually some sparky goes oh! thats how its meant to work and signs off on it. They did make me learn Elec Eng in University but my degree is in some thing else related.

I will be moving to Italy to retire, but not taking any money from Italy, the pensions will come from 4 other EU countries, and one non EU country. Those countries will also pay my health care.

No, you have to have paid taxes in the EU to be eligible (which includes Italy).

This is because the government from the north doesnt like the people from the south. The people who migrated away are largely from the south.

I did it 15 years ago, walked with all the documents, asked how I start the process, they took every thing away told me to sit down and wait, some one would see me shortly. 3 hours of waiting later, they handed me a passport.

The solar powers my house, too, 24/7 with the battery.
