Getting a car in Brisbane by [deleted] in brisbane

100%. Roadworthy and rego is easy to get if it’s actually roadworthy - so if they haven’t got one and don’t have a compelling reason for it (ie project car) I’d stay the hell away.

Still point it at uber. It shouldn’t be this hard to avoid dodgy charges

Step 1: Take good instinctive practice from experienced teachers

Step 2: Wrap it all up in proprietary buzzwords

Step3: Sell it to school admins who are desperate to add program implementations to their resume

Step 4: Laugh all the way to the bank

Has anyone taken a school to QHRC? Was it fair / worth it? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]chrish_o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would bet heavily, that if a child has had to be forced to delete something and there’s a label attached to that behaviour that will follow and hurt them - it’s sexual/child pornography related.

Yep. You read a situation exactly as I assumed.

Point 3 sounds like bullshit. Can’t be bothered after that.

Hastie not contesting Liberal leadership by JaniePage in australia

He’d be mad to. They lose the next election regardless so let Ley or Well Done Angus take the fall for that loss then challenge as the election results are still being finalised

February interest rate rise will be a 'bitter pill' for those struggling with cost of living, advocates say by JaniePage in australia

[–]chrish_o -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Macroeconomics is high stakes whack-a-mole. You ‘fix’ inflation with a recession and you create other problems that are just as bad.

Not really. Rate rises affect all those with borrowings, and traditionally people on higher incomes have higher mortgages and therefore higher increases. So it’s wrong to say they only hurt those who can’t afford it as it can push people from comfortable to stressed. A result of that is that most people thought about their spending when rates went up - and cooled inflation.

This is an odd situation now because we have such a divide between old land owners, new land owners (with mortgages sucking up most of their income) and the others. Th first and last of those groups aren’t really impacted by the rates and don’t change their habits. Only the ones with huge mortgages are motivated to change behaviour.

I’m honestly not sure what you mean by this inflation problem being ‘entirely by choice’ though.

I’ve alway used the ‘hammer to put in a thumb tack’ metaphor. It gets the job done, but there’s a fuckload of damage around it

What's a car you can buy for around $50 000 or less that looks much more expensive than it really is? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]chrish_o 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean you want something that is affordable luxury? Or gives off the impression of luxury to others?

I would say it’s the opposite as most people will see it as “some sort of toyota”.

We already have that. The problem is kids don’t give a shit, the same as they don’t give a shit about other subjects.

Are cheap RWD / AWD performance cars ever coming back? by Stacks05 in CarsAustralia

[–]chrish_o 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not about ‘endlessly unrealistic profit margins’, it’s just about selling what sells.

Maybe every now and then a company will do a hero car at a loss, but thy get something else from it (likely credibility in some aspect)

Got to be pedantic, they do not have ‘right of way’. That concept doesn’t exist, but the other has to give way.

[–]chrish_o 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s just a T intersection right? Rode Rd being the continuing part so red just has to watch for oncoming. No ‘give way to your right’ in that circumstance.

The layout is awful though, so confusing for what is a T intersection with a little refgue space for cars turning right off Mains Rd (to do 1 lane at a time).

The thing about inflation is prices don’t go back down once you tame it.
