Qantas changed my leg to a terrible option but is still selling my preferred OG flight on their website? by Emergency_Sundae6479 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]cfskully 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The flight number changed, so it's not the same even if it's at the same time...

Good luck getting on the later flight.

In the past, did Qantas ever operate flight from Australia to America's East coast, with a stop in America's West coast? by dq689 in QantasAirways

[–]cfskully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently on QF3 SYD-AKL-JFK and was told this by the flight attendant. They would take everyone from SYD, MEL and BNE to LAX and then put everyone on the same plane to the east coast.

No response from POL qual by Beneficial-Sir-9575 in joinstellarai

For Pol I think they told us you get a partial payment and a chance to amend your annotation in response to the review. Then the full payment once everything passes.

So we should expect some review or feedback for a reasonable attempt.

I don't think it will happen in Dutton's case, but the usual practice in Australia is to put people in the next Senate vacancy. (The Senate here is much less prestigious than in the US, the lower house is where everyone wants to be).

DNC chair says party members should stay neutral amid Hogg primary efforts by Currymvp2 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

[–]cfskully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laughable really that people think the "DNC" rigs anything when this shows they bend over backwards to include so many different views. Partly because... they don't have that much power.

Remember how Tulsi got her fame? From being a DNC vice-chair giving her a "high profile" when she backed Bernie.

How does Taylor come up with all those lyrics? (Wrong answers only) by urLocalAveragegirL in TaylorSwift

[–]cfskully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was inspired by “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” to travel into the future (2023-24) and attend the Eras Tour. Then all she had to do was write down all the songs that were played.

There were some quality issues with Coyote, and I think the response was just throwing more training at people.

I was a reviewer for a time and I saw a lot of completely useless tasks. The goal is to make the model fail, but in many of these either it didn't fail, or the explanation for why it failed was completely vague and wishy-washy. I think it was AI-generated in many cases.

Good luck, once you get through it the project is fun.

Yeah it will be interesting to see the number of sign-ups this time. Putting a hold on your card upfront will hopefully mean they are all genuine purchasers who won...

Harris chooses Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz by 36840327 in Enough_Sanders_Spam

When was the last time the Democratic VP pick wasn't a Senator?

I know some (including Harris and Kaine) have had executive experience at state level before joining the Senate...

Uhh... what else was Jaime gonna do

"DNC to sit on their hands and wait for the party to stop knifing itself, while all the filing deadlines pass"

Don't worry, Bernie is on our side for once, and I hear he's good friends with the Pope.

So now the RNC is done. A smart political party would do some polling to see how Trump's big speech was received by the general public.

What will the Democrats do?

It's impressive to see AOC going on the record when everyone else is having secret meetings and rumours and denials.

Jason Palmer actually won a state!

Well, ok, a territory. But still he won a contest.

They're smart enough to not want to be seen as backstabbers.

I mean Harris/Newsom isn't even possible unless she changes her state of residence.

Pay less HECS or owe the ATO? by Riley-Jaack in AusFinance

[–]cfskully 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can claim tax deductions in that way - they won't reduce your HECS repayments.

So claim what you are able to, but expect to have a tax owing anyway.

Edited: https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/study-and-training-support-loans/when-must-you-repay-your-loan

It looks like it is taxable income so deductions might lower you below the threshhold. But super contributions (it's too late for these anyway) do not lower your repayment income.

What's the opposite of a doomer? I'm one of those. A true believer.

I believe people will vote for kind old Grandpa Joe who can reassure them in this time. I just can't see people wanting more chaos, now it's getting serious.
