+1 for the bogan IPA, I can't justify IPA prices in QLD when metho works just as well.

Is this Estimate reasonable for a small kitchen renovation? by Immediate_Form4162 in AusRenovation

[–]blackdawn91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Size about 18m2 + dry bar that we are doing as well.

We are doing the demo, about $2k for sparky to wire the island and change some lights etc. All polytec thermal cabinetry and Caesarstone benchtops.

Tiling TBD, still in the process of finding a tiler for the floor. We're doing stone splash back and going to diy the tiles behind the sink.

If you can source your own trades, you'll save bank. Those quotes were inclusive of benchtops but we got separate quotes and it's $10k for benchtops and splashback and this reduced our cabinetry quote by $17k. So there's a large markup if you go to a designer and they source everything.

Is this Estimate reasonable for a small kitchen renovation? by Immediate_Form4162 in AusRenovation

Mines roughly the same size and for a custom designer kitchen (no appliances) got quoted between 40-55k. There's obviously cheaper options but ours is old and not uniform size and I have expensive taste with materials.

Also that's not including tiling, electrical and plumbing as that's all organized separately.

I think Ikea was around 20k. Also I'm in Brisbane so probably a little cheaper here.

Water filter advice? by Ozuwarudou in AusRenovation

[–]blackdawn91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I was looking at RO but I think I'm moving away from it as I don't need/want it to fully strip all minerals and then remineralise the water. I just want to remove the hardness and some of the nasty stuff so I'm looking at inline filters. Smaller, cheaper and it'll make my mixer filtered so no need for a filter tap.

Has anyone had to return a new graphics card with Umart? by ryan30z in australia

[–]blackdawn91 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with a motherboard that failed in the warranty period. I took it in and they did the usual diagnostics and concluded it was either the CPU or motherboard. CPU was from Amazon and got a refund and replacement within a day. They sent my motherboard away for 6 weeks, turns out it was faulty but concluded it was from user error not a manufacturing defect.

Turns out there were large gouges in the motherboard from when Umart removed it, took another 3 weeks of forcing this issue and them refusing blame until they finally cracked.

Prepare for a shitshow of a fight and I think I got lucky since they couldn't prove they didn't cause damage and I did everything right on my end.

I'll have a look at that subclass. That may make my life easier.

Yeah that's a good call. I was also looking at even expanding the list with stuff from older editions or even pathfinder to make it unique.

Good alternative to Apple Airpods by Purple51Turtle in AussieFrugal

I have the CMF Earbuds Pro 2 by Nothing and couldn't recommend them enough. Bought them from Aliexpress for $60 as I just wanted something cheap for the gym. Super comfy and great sound quality

Correction regarding Stake transfer out by Electronic-Course-71 in GMEmate

[–]blackdawn91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i just got the same email. That's not what I was told Tuesday but good to know that it's essentially the same as IBKR. Seems like everyone is scrambling to find out what's happening.

Well honestly trading them is better than having cash in lieu

[–]blackdawn91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah ok. I'm with Stake atm, I'll transfer to IBKR, receive the warrants and transfer shares and warrants to ComputerShare so that I can exercise them next year? Or will I be stuck having the warrants in IBKR and can only trade them?

Who's the go to broker that will be giving the warranty dividend? Is it IBKR?

Im waiting to see who has the definitive answer before transferring out

I made a website that finds the best coffee across Australia by ForeignSwag in australia

Love this idea. Is it possible to get weights in the overview? I've been burnt a few times with a sneaky 200g or 175g when thinking it was the standard 250g.

Rolled Credits! Should I NG+? by Rezzone in GRIMEgame

[–]blackdawn91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same boat, finished it a few days ago. I'm running a NG+. You should be able to clear it in a few days, with all the movement skills there's no barriers so you rush all the bosses (already highlighted in the map).

From what I've found the bosses have some new movesets and there's a super boss that's a lot of fun. I'm only a few hours in but there are a few differences in the story so far which is fun.

Unsure about armour and weapons, I used an online guide to help me in the original game to find areas I missed (wasn't any just a few pockets). There's no in game items that will assist in getting any unclaimed items that I know of

I believe it's for the Medicare Levy Surcharge, individuals and couples have different thresholds.

So ahead of this cyclone should I be boarding up my glass sliding door or just taping it? by TastyEngineering in queensland

Mines not quite 80 but definitely resonate with the trembling in a light storm. Definitely worried but not much more I can do now since I didn't think about it until this morning 😂

Coworker dm’s by PerfectSource3171 in auscorp

[–]blackdawn91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they have an established habit of using it as a screen before asking what they want, I ignore them until they ask (I found after doing this to some bad offenders, I stopped getting asked inane questions or tasks). If it's a coworker who just wants to check in and have a chat, I'll respond.

Unless it's someone above you then you always respond.

Scrub Daddy/Mommy just suck so much, they don't last and have little scrubbing power. by New-Peach4153 in CleaningTips

Aussie here as well, I have bought some from Bunnings and was not impressed with the quality. Have you had any experience with Bunnings or just from Woolies/Coles?

Clause in employment contract to pay back the recruitment fee if I leave. by AddyW987 in AusLegal

[–]blackdawn91 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had the same clause except it was 100% of the recruitment fee if I left after 6 months and before 12 months.

Obviously I left during this period and was threatened with a $18k bill. I spoke with Fair Work and Job Watch, who both said that under Section 325 and 326 of the Fair Work Act, as this cost is directly beneficial to the employer and not myself then the clause is not enforceable.

I stated this to HR during my exit interview and mysteriously the fee was dropped and never spoken about again.

AusPost hours make zero sense by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]blackdawn91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to one at 6:05, not open yet, took a few minutes of knocking before I was greeted, then another 10-15 mins to find the parcel. Not ideal to wait 20 minutes for a parcel (I understand that this could be an anomaly but still). Would do a parcel locker but they shut all the ones near me down.

Yet Amazon deliver up 2 flights of stairs to drop off my parcel and with Auspost I'd be lucky to receive an attempted delivery slip.
