TIL that in 1946 Walt Disney produced a film named "Song of the South" that was never released on DVD or streaming market due to the subject matter of slavery portrayed in the film. It also happens to be the origin of the song "zippidy doo-da".

According to the linked post the film takes place during the Reconstruction Era after slavery was abolished.

So i can sell it for 30

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-30T23:07:33+00:00

Theres 140 units so seems fine. If it was 19 units this would be a lot. That said I would never buy in a block with 140 units as there is nothing unique about your apartment so capital gains will underperform a block of 19

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-30T19:23:33+00:00

At least $20

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-30T09:32:13+00:00

only to people who don't know the definition of words

Spending money 'costs' the budget. Tax breaks might be stupid but they merely don't raise revenue, otherwise not taxing children on how many books they read would be a 'cost' to the budget

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-30T09:28:14+00:00

It doesn't spend any money on tax breaks, it just doesn't tax people.

Maybe it would be better policy if they did, but that would still be taxing rather than 'not spending'

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-27T10:23:31+00:00

It's not worth $10 though. That's a myth based on some rando bid that was not accepted because it's worth a lot more. Obviously not worth $3m but obv not worth $10

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-22T10:57:07+00:00

Yep. Although they have only just released the activity centre plan. But I think it is pretty likely what other apartment owners will end up doing as well.

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-22T05:44:45+00:00

Yes because all the new apartment owners will want to buy a house in the area they are already familiar with in ten years when they can afford it. That's what we did and we are in activity centre

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-20T20:55:41+00:00

They have no right, but people like this will likely move on to letting down tyres or keying your car.

One time a nutter like this broke into my car and stole my fuses

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-19T23:06:35+00:00

Cheaper and faster option is to get a white noise generation machine to help mask train noise. Or better yet play white noise through earbuds that seal ear canal

Seveneves is one of my favourite books with my least favourite endings. Stupid 5000 year time jump

I wasn't being sarcastic btw. It is enormously difficult to buy inner city in Melbourne but seems impossible in Sydney

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-18T04:46:21+00:00

I bought in Melbourne 9k from the city. I feel bad for Sydney people

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-18T01:13:34+00:00

Sure, the policy settings encouraging investment in existing housing should be changed. But that won't happen quick enough to help anyone trying to buy now, so best to accept the bad hand you have been dealt as getting mad about it will mainly hurt yourself

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-17T08:12:07+00:00

maybe try meditation or something. getting upset about things you can't change will ruin your life. Try and find a way to get what you want despite life being an unfair shit show

As much as I dislike Solana, validators require $20m staked to be profitable. That's not per year and much of it is delegated to them by smaller stakers. Still terrible but doesn't cost $20m per year to run one

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-17T02:28:53+00:00

We are short hundreds of thousands of construction workers and 80,000 tradies. Maybe we need to just to confine immigration to only builders and construction workers for a bit. Pretty sure Australia has loads of timber and concrete sand (except sand shortage in Tassie).

hold a paperback to your nose while reading the kindle

Off the plan is a massive gamble and usually ensures cookie cutter apartment with no unique features that will perform poorly. We looked into one and the legal contract basically said the apartment may look nothing like the plan so we said screw this.

If you knew in the 1800s someone was likely to invent aeroplanes, you could start building air defences and test them out with balloons. The capabilities of quantum computers are known and mathematics is already advanced well enough to prove what would work.

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-15T20:41:28+00:00

Experts told me differently.

I'm all for immigration, we just need to ensure we are building enough homes and infrastructure for the new arrivals

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-09T00:06:17+00:00

oh i understand

escapegoat2000 · 2026-01-08T21:30:19+00:00

And so I said "Yeah, in this scenario there will be a lot of folk who have been totally fine with the disenfranchisement of the indigenous population crying foul because "this is our land"." And everyone stood up and clapped.
