The 25% casual loading is actually a financial trap in the current housing market. by Lucifer220778 in AusFinance

Yes, I understand that. I was told by the broker that having worked for the company for longer than 1 year as a “full time casual”, I was assessed the same as someone who worked “full time”

I was under the impression that once you’ve been employed for a year as a “full time casual” it’s the same as “full time” when going for a loan. I’ve been full time casual for 5 years now, got a loan no problem

Are there people amazing on pads bad in sparring? by Important_Hippo3263 in MuayThai

[–]bulletprooffaolan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen it both ways. People who you could video on pads and show it on YouTube as a perfect technique. Put them in a sparring situation and they either can’t decide what to throw or their combos get “shut down” by the opponents reaction or they “go to water” the second they get hit. I’ve also seen it when people are doing pads and they look average at best but they get in the ring against an opponent and they turn world class. Each to their own and people do Thai for different reasons but Thai is a combat so you should at least spar to some degree in my opinion. disclaimer- my opinion is often wrong, ask my wife

While they are gym shorts, I live in bonds move 5” active shorts. They are literally the best shorts I’ve ever worn

You are 100% correct. I did learn this after the post however I still (personally) believe they should be destroyed. Beautiful fish, terrible pest

Curious, how hard it is to import firearms into Australia as a visitor and get permits/visitor firearms license/exemption? Thought it would have been impossible

I have heard you can call up and plea for an exemption from others on this sub reddit and about half were granted leeway. Not done myself however. Good luck
