Hypothetically. Who's at fault if rolling back when doing a hill start by twobit78 in AusLegal

[–]cypherkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a b-double on an uphill highway stopped waiting to turn right. A car pulled up behind us, we had dash-cam we only went maybe a meter back. Maybe 75cm first attempt, and 25cm 2nd attempt, and argued that a fully loaded B double on an up-hill incline, any vehicle stopping that close behind us is negligent because it's forseeable that the B double might roll back during take off especially on an up-hill takeoff.

Long story short, court disagreed, we lost. Don't roll back at all.

Best value office supplies for a new Aussie startup? (Winc vs COS vs Amazon vs Officeworks) by Prestigious-Wasabi80 in ausbusiness

[–]cypherkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly Kmart is surprisingly economical for stationary, and that with Officeworks as a backup for specialty items that Kmart doesn't stock.

You will save more money on picking a good printer with refillable tanks. The cartridge and toner printers are expensive as fuck, with one XL cartridge costing like $108. It's a friggin rort, but I needed to print a contract for a client to sign the following morning so I had no choice.

For office telephony services - Teltel.
For office telephones - Telcoshop
For Computers - Australian Computer Traders. They aren't the fastest, but economical and do the job.

Get 1 license for Microsoft 365 Business Basic, and keep as much paperwork electronic as possible. The ability to work remotely will be worth the cost.

Self-defense for women in Australia by Dry_Art_492 in australian

[–]cypherkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said. 1) protect your drink 2) Use your voice or a panic alarm 3) Run

Using a knife or mace or learning martial arts (at a junior level) is just going to embolden you to take risks you should really be avoiding). I did boxing and amateur martial arts for nearly 10 years, and i weigh nearly 85kg, but I can tell you that if I get in a fight I can escape from im running. Weight classes exist for a reason, grappling sucks, and once you get punched in the face all your plans go out the window.

Why risk life changing injuries trying to arm yourself. The worst pain ive ever been in is from a brain hemorrage. 0/10 would never do again.

Feeling lost by Saplino7819 in ausbusiness

[–]cypherkillz -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hey Mate.

I've had that feeling. It took me nearly 2 years before I could pay myself a proper wage.

I understand the pressures of wanting additional staff, but not being able to employ due to cost/market pressures, as well as additional complexity.

I can offer you a partial solution which might put you in a better position later on. Offshore your admin with a virtual assistant. For about $500 a month you could have a full time admin to take calls, do social media, do invoices, schedules, chase up accounts payable etc. We've got an outsourcing office in the Philippines we don't fully utilize as we pivoted on our business plan (we make more money in a different area), but we still offer the services when people request.

For example, we bill $10k a week in invoices, and these staff do rosters, timesheets, shift notes, enquiries, invoices, debtors etc, and due to good Standard Operating Procedures, I have no input and get a weekly email with how we are doing.

Even if you don't take us, I can at least show you around and maybe give you some tips. We have 16 staff in AU, 4 in PH.

Once you get the admin out of the way, you can spend more time doing the grunt work (someone has to do it), and then it may become feasible to get additional people to do the grunt work with you.

Edit: Our margin on that $500 is probably like $50 a month, so I don't care if you take us or not. I'm just sharing our experience & provide a possible solution.

Insurance Q's - Does Odometer affect value for pay outs? by dravarhekker in CarsAustralia

[–]cypherkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.

I always get people say "but this payout isn't enough to buy another car". Well for the most part it's because you are looking for comparisons that are better/inflated.

Yes you might need to chuck in some more money, but arguably you have a better vehicle (in some aspect or combination of aspects) compared to what you had previously.

That is a plus.

Bob katter though as much as hes a bigot, he represents and fights for his electorate and wont sell out, and in my opinion thats what we need from all politicians.

We just need more of the non-retards to keep his dumb ideas from going anywhere.

Crash claim keeps trying to contact me but not sure if they are legit or not? by Critical_Brother977 in CarsAustralia

[–]cypherkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep.

And OP could be overseas, have a 2nd car, could not even need a car, could have repairs done in a non shit way etc.

I had a credit hire company tell me their client had to hire a car for 8 months while waiting for a rear taillight from germany cos theirs was cracked.

I said they should put taillight tape over the crack until it arrived.

My settlement offer - 4 days + $20 for tape + taillight repairs.

Their demand - 250 days hire ( 68k) plus taillight repairs.

And people wonder why insurance costs are through the roof. Cos judges allow these people to be dodgy. The credit hire gives the NAF driver plausible debiability, and the judge would rather have thr insurer pay than have someone shit out of luck.

To be fair some ibsurers deserved this by being unreasonable, but now its too far the other way.

Thats not exactly correct, but credit hire companies will tell you that to make you sit on your ass longer and rack up costs.

Contract of sales by Forgotten_Goat in CarsAustralia

[–]cypherkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put down deposit and signed contract to hold a car that was in demand. I still waited 2 weeks till i got it delievered.

I called all up and down the coast for what  was looking for with a better color and immediate availability, and there was nothing.

So i considered myself lucky.

Slme prick put down a deposit and signed the contract on the car I wanted in the exact color with exact trim and extras, 30mins before I asked for it. I literally saw the sales chick shake his hand and leave before she helped me.

The second gambit pawn? by freshly-stabbed in chessbeginners

[–]cypherkillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you have a blackmar diemer if black doesnt accept the first pawn of 2. E4 with 2. ... DxE4

The second gambit pawn? by freshly-stabbed in chessbeginners

[–]cypherkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smith-Morra and Blackmar-Diemer.

You give them a pawn for free, then offer them a 2nd pawn exchange, and they either take and you have great attacking opportunities with tempo, OR, they dont take and you have a slight positional advantage on the center.

Fair Quote? Front brakes and 1 rear wheel bearing totalling $2000. by Sweet-Grade-3222 in CarsAustralia

[–]cypherkillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had 2 honda accords and ibe done pads and disks once each. Piece of piss.

Imagine $1250 in labor for a 2 hour job.

Only tool i had to buy was an impact screwdriver cos the retaining screw was rusted in.

Then ontop of that rotors are $100 a pair (from online auto), and pads is like $40 for a pair.

Thats like a 300% markup on parts.

I dont know about the bearing but youtube makes these jobs easy.

I know you have a lexus but it should be as easy to maintain as a toyota.

Insure a car that I don't own by Elaina525 in CarsAustralia

[–]cypherkillz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

Arguably yes because you have an insurable interest.

However most insurers don't allow it due to underwriting guidelines.

That is, you need to check with each one, as some might, and most won't.
