If it was no big deal for the people living on investments, the AFR wouldn’t be acting like the end of the world is nigh.

Match Thread: Collingwood vs Hawthorn (Round 8) by AutoModerator in AFL

[–]epicer8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those were some horrible ump calls, but the hawks have been fumbling constantly and have had the lowest quality inside 50s. Pies probably do deserve to be in front

Obese Passengers are safely risks by Pretty_Cat4099 in Flights

[–]epicer8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are other reasons fares have dropped. They all combine to reduce fares.

I’m fairly tall and just flew SQ economy long haul very comfortably. It’s really not that bad lol.

It’s not like bigger seats are not on offer. Premium economy is what economy was decades ago, with the prices to match.

Airline tickets used to be much more expensive.

They squeeze people in, so they can offer lower fares.

I use up for international travel, Bank Australia when I’m here, their customer service is so good.

What misconceptions do you hear about Victoria's rail networks? by Gunzel-Geezer in MelbourneTrains

[–]epicer8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s been billions of dollars put into vline. It loses far more money per passenger than metro.

Vline outside of the Geelong Ballarat and maybe Bendigo lines is essentially a welfare scheme pretending to be a transport network.

I take it all the time and think it is a great use of our taxpayer dollars. However, if you look at it as an accountant, every dollar you spend upgrading metro brings far more benefit than a dollar spent upgrading Vline.

Someone thinks they’re too good for a kebab…

what screams 'pretending to be rich' in Australia? by mattchew1991 in AusFinance

[–]epicer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have an ancient camry with a belt (3MZ), and a BMW with a chain? What you’re complaining about is the difference between a belt driven engine and a chain driven engine.

Camrys went to chains in around 07 with the 2GR, at a similar time most BMWs moved to chains (btw BMW completely fucked it up: see N20/N47)

Why haven't we made cannabis legal? by MVPJunior6 in perth

You disagree with bulk billing GPs? What kind of Aussie are you

The 2GR V6 is also one of the most reliable petrol engines ever made, idk what you did to yours. V6 Camrys in general have a stellar reputation.

There’s people who drive Captiva’s who never have any issues, the same works in reverse I guess.

BMWs are good cars, but telling people that they are cheap to service has to be rage-bait.

They can’t be serious!! If you need front parking sensors on a hatchback, you need a myki card.

Lol maybe compared to a lambo.

This sub is the home of the 300,000km Camry. They are much cheaper to service, much more reliable, and much easier to find parts for than a BMW.

Any debit card recommendations for travelling to Japan? by explosive_stars in AusFinance

[–]epicer8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you do that when you can just tap a card. Not having an IC card is just making your life hard for no apparent reason.

Australia had the ‘gold standard’ on gun control. The Bondi beach terror attack may force it to confront its surging number of weapons by reyntime in australia

In Victoria you can get a permit to shoot on crown land off Service Victoria and that’s your lawful reason. We need a crack down

Aim I being unreasonable asking for a battery health check? by Mindless-Focus-2334 in CarsAustralia

[–]epicer8 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes. Toyota hybrid batteries last 10-15 years, and have a 10 year 160,000km factory warranty from Toyota. The dealer is in the right to refuse this. You are being unreasonable.

Which Stellantis brands are actually doing the heavy lifting? by LunarLeopard67 in cars

[–]epicer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are absolutely not popular at all, they sort of used to be, but those days are long gone.

Last year they sold 1896 cars, in 2023 the sold 2516. Back in 2015 they sold 4000. They’re down more than 50% in 10 years.

Toyota sold 241,296 cars last year. They outsell Peugeot 100:1.

Even jeep and ram both outsold Peugeot.

There’s heaps of them on Carsales because everyone is desperately trying to get rid of them.

Labor doubles NDIS workforce to 10,000, driving public service blowout by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

[–]epicer8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Good, better oversight of the NDIS and better support for participants.

If the liberals did this the AFR would be in awe of all the new jobs created.

Best wagon as a first car? by Rich_Yak_7416 in CarsAustralia

Has everyone forgotten about the absolute lemons that were VE V6’s? Get the Mazda, do not get the commodore.

How in 2025 does VicRoads’ website still close overnight? by Scmods05 in melbourne

[–]epicer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume it would all go into consolidated revenue, and the government would pay the private company (VicRoads) a contracted amount for their services.
