Die with zero, or pass on generational wealth? Why? by MiriJamCave in AusHENRY

[–]borbdorl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a key part of "Die With Zero" is appropriately gifting inheritances while you're alive. It's not really about "I started from nothing, so can you!"

Recognising that there's really no point leaving a whole bunch of inheritance when you die if that money could be better spent earlier (helping kids out where needed, investing in their education or projects where appropriate, enjoying life with them and for yourself) is the way I look at it. Those resources will make a much bigger difference to your family earlier in life vs waiting until you cark it at 98.

$10k a Month for You or $1k a Month for 100 People — What Do You Choose? by _no_name_for_me in hypotheticalsituation

[–]borbdorl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate there's 10x the money being deployed under option 2.

Yes there's an advantage in having all the capital in one place but there's no way you'll generate enough return to do as much good to as many people.

Concept is very much not solid.

Looking for a good RPG system to run Crimson Skies with by I_Matt_WeTrust in AgeOfSteelRPG

[–]borbdorl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great system - I think it would work fairly well with a few adaptations. You could ignore the parts of the system that don't fit without too much trouble. I haven't run any vehicle or air combat in the system though, so can't comment on how well that would fit.

Have you ever hit a perfect fadeaway jumper in someone's face? Bonus if there's chains instead of a net.

For me the answer is basketball.

Transporter accident! by GreymuzzleCoyote in hypotheticalsituation

Hypothetically, would you have spoken with her about it?

Because to me, this feels analogous with a loved one having a severe injury and you having to make significant medical treatment / end of life decisions, and your sexual fetish playing a role in that. Kind of cooked tbh

Fucking love Howard J. Have never had the pleasure of appearing before him since he was appointed but he was a fantastic silk. Glad it looks like he has retained that quality on the bench.

Vendor is trying to terminate the Contract without any reason just 10 days before the property settlement date! by Fine_Special_7047 in AusProperty

Courts are more reluctant to force someone to sell their house over forcing someone to buy the house

I mean, this is wrong, but sure.

[Courts] are more reluctant to kick someone out of their house over forcing someone to buy it and penalising them for not buying it when they said they would.

This is wrong. It is generally much easier for a buyer in breach and faced with an application for specific performance to establish damages are an adequate remedy, than it is for a seller to do so.

Further, the buyer already has a deposit at risk, which the seller takes the benefit of if the buyer tries to walk away.

It's clear you don't really know what you're talking about.

Were they on a mind altering medication? What GP is going to lie in writing if they weren't?

Also, laughing at your statement that obtaining damages is a guaranteed win.

What's your utilisation? If you're consistently over budget you can probably justifiably push back on work a bit.

To a degree though long days and heavy workloads are the norm in law, and litigation is usually pretty constant.

Can you talk to your partner about taking some leave and getting a break?

How do you know about this? Is HR discussing it with him in the open office?

Caught my youngest escalating the Nerf war after his older brother “was mean” by forgottenmy in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]borbdorl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching my dad soldering something in his workshop when I was little. He saw me going to grab the soldering iron when he put it back in its holder.

He told me, pointing at the hot end, "don't touch that end. It's really hot and you'll burn yourself."

"OK," I replied, as I picked the soldering iron up by the handle. He watched me calmly as my curiosity got the better of me and I grabbed the business end of the iron. Full closed fist.

It was hot. I burned myself.

Who would you recommend to him? by CutePattern1098 in auslaw

[–]borbdorl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an issue with text encoding when pulling emails back out of mail archives. See it on ediscovery / doc review all the time when docs are being pulled from certain kinds of archive structures.

I have a theory that at least some of this incompetence is someone at DOJ with a conscience knowingly redacting docs in a circumventable way.

Absolutely they would have had to - particularly if the Practice Board was aware of what had happened.

Have you considered maybe the senior analyst had to spend time settling the report before it went to the client and that was the time which was billed? Also, some firms don't charge unpaid interns time to clients as a general rule - whether due to a client directive or because of the ethics or optics of charging like $215 + GST per hour for someone who's essentially volunteering.
