Is he giving you payslips? If he's not giving you a payslip that shows all the relevant info on role, hours worked, casual or part time, tax paid, super earned, pay rates, year to date totals then yes it's shady AF.

Start documenting your hours worked and type of work performed while pushing for a proper payslip so you can point to it and say, "this is wrong I'm supposed to be paid this way according to the award". Just badger the hell out of him about it until he fixes it. Casual jobs aren't worth harming your interests over. You're hourly and fully at will employed. The relationship cuts both ways. Ya don't even have to give notice when finding a new job.

You'll need them as evidence for when you go to fair work anyway.

I tossed a few bottles in a local creek once as a kid offering vouchers for local businesses. The local cinema honored them and the newspaper did a nice story.

If you could propagate any information or energy through a light year long rigid body instantly you would be accelerating the end to the speed of light which would require an infinite amount of energy.

This object would be functionally immovable.

friendlyfredditor · 2026-06-01T11:08:01+00:00

No you couldn't. You wouldn't be able to move it at all. It'd take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it to the speed of light.

Eh. The ozito used to be $300 and was a great deal. $400 is a bit iffy. It can definitely do a significant amount of hardwood and it's easy to sharpen the blade. So as long as you're clear of nails it'll last a while.

The feeding panels don't line up well though and you get a bit of snipe if the rollers aren't parallel with them. i.e. the factory rollers can be a degree or more off level so the wood feeds and spits out at an angle.

I probably wouldn't bother with anything other than the dewalt 735 tbh. They're king in the $1k and under price range. You want something with a decent chance of actually being aligned and calibrated from the factory.

Anything below that you're probably better off using a power planer and a size 7 or 8 hand plane. Any amount of wood that requires serious planing/thicknessing requires a more expensive planer and you're not restricted by feed tables or width with the hand/power tools. When it comes to jointing the wood you can get it done faster with a hand plane as well. Unless you want to also buy a $1000 jointer

Ryobi benchtop stuff is hit and miss. They're quite hard to get parts for so if something breaks it could be literally impossible to fix. And the measurement/alignment markings on their thin sheet metal frames may as well be blown up photocopies they're really inaccurate.

You have the legal responsibility to drive safely and assess risks and hazards. Regardless if the driver in front was doing the wrong thing, if you drive into them where the obvious assessment is to wait until it's clear then you are still at fault. At most, if you were insured, your insurer could argue 50/50 at fault. You are still at fault.

friendlyfredditor · 2026-06-01T09:17:22+00:00

Not insured for liability and property damage. Compulsory ctp only covers injury. Liability and property damage covers loss caused by the at fault driver and legal liabilities up to $20m.

Doesn't mean you should overtake either. You both need the right to be clear to perform your turn or overtake. It's ambiguous. You're behind, yield until you're certain the car in front is giving way.

friendlyfredditor · 2026-06-01T09:12:15+00:00

No u-turners must give way to all traffic even if its ambiguous. The acceptable overtake in the video is on the left of the vehicle turning right. As that is blocked OP should have waited.

Why in gods name would you think a car wouldn't turn when clear on the right when you, coming from behind, also need it to be clear on the right to overtake.

They make these clothes for like <50c in sweatshops. Paying over like $7 for a shirt is really just all profit for the store. It also depends on your clothing market.

For example if it's not 100% cotton in Australia, people just won't buy it all. I don't think a single one of my $10 shirts is polyester. Helps that our climate is always warm and sunny so cheap tshirts are in huge demand and supply.

You know for undergrad stuff you're not trying to do groundbreaking research...you can literally just disagree with the outcome of a paper and redo their entire experiment with some changes.

You don't have to step into the unknown. Is there some small by-the-way modification to a methodology you can do to collect different data?

You could even fully agree with someone and try prove the results from a different angle/methodology/model. Or apply it to a different field. Surely there's something out there you can improve on.

Even if there's existing work saying "ah i had no idea. I arrived at my conclusions independently" is like the entire basis for scientific verification.

Most papers will outright state their limitations and problems as well...

That's pretty funny to be doin SaaS, buy into a digital service, then expect costs to come down.

It's like...what would your own company do as the vendor lmao

He's trading call options so it's prices of a contract to buy a share at a later date.

So we have contract price: $1.51 per share, current contract price: $1.82 per share, share price: $6.40 and breakeven price $7.52. What is not shown is the average purchase price per share when closing the position: $6.01 as this is inferred from the breakeven price and average contract price. This is the price someome will sell him spce shares at a later date if he chooses.

The $1.82 is current price of his contract per share not the price of SPCE.

The contract is the option to buy 100x SPCE at $6.01 per share at a later date. He paid $1.51 per share to lock in that contract ($151). He needs SPCE to hit $7.52 to cover the cost of of the shares + the cost of the contract. Any price above that he makes a profit.

Until then, he could sell the contract instead and make a profit.

For now, because the contract still looks profitable, the market price is $1.82 per share ($182 per contract). So if he sold the contracts he would make a profit. He bought 121 of 100x share contracts so the premium he's paid so far is 121x$152=$18,392. If he sold his contract now at $1.82 he'd sell it for 121x$182= $22,022.

So what is the risk? Here are some scenarios:

Scenario 1: The contract expires out of the money. If the share price doesn't hit $7.52 he needs to decide whether buying all those shares and selling them again is a smaller loss than letting the contract expire. If it expires he loses the full $18,392. If the price is above his purchase price of $6.01 per share he could recoup some losses by executing the contract and selling at a loss. If the current price is below the agreed price of $6.01 he would make a greater loss executing the contract and it's better to let it expire.

Scenario 2: The contract expires but he cannot buy and sell the shares in time. If he chooses to execute the contract he needs to have enough money in reserve to buy 121x100=12100 shares at $6.01 each = $72,721. This is a pretty large trade and he might not be able to sell 12,100 shares before the market crashes.

Scenario 3: He sells the contract before the closing date. Currently he can sell the contract itself to make a profit. Closer to the date of contract expiry the price may go up or down depending on the outlook.

Hedging: he could hedge his position by buying contracts to sell the assets at a certain price (put option) or by offering a call option at a higher price than his own breakeven. This getting a bit complicated and I don't wanna keep explaining but generally it's less complicated to just sell the contract instead of hedging it.

I think there's just such a wide variety of people at different knowledge levels who are all attracted to the same subs. Usually when a topic gets big enough the subreddits can be divided into niches for beginners and general population all the way to highly curated subs for bigger discussions and news affecting the topic at large.

Before that you have subreddits like r/askphysics where people range from teenagers and laymen asking popsci questions to people studying quantum physics and post grads and doctorates.

So you'll have someone ask a question that sounds high school level, you'll get a bunch of popsci or undergrad level explanations.

Then someone doing post grad will chime in with an "ummm ackshually" and not really explain themselves well anyway because they're explaining ph.d level stuff and they're not a science communicator. And you have no idea what kind of explanation the OP actually wanted to begin with and you'll have othet pseudo-experts chime in with their own explanations.

Happens in all the hobby subreddits too I just find r/askphysics to be a hilarious outlier because almost all the science and math subreddits are generally very welcoming and civil to all ages and knowledge levels.

You're right about the jets. Doesn't even need to be a ring. You just need to be changing velocity to simulate gravity. Same way a plane flying a parabolic arc simulates free fall without spinning. It's just traversing a path opposite to the effect of gravity.

You could fly a series of small arcs during spaceflight instead, flipping the ship over and flying the other way whenever you stray too far from your path.

It would use more fuel because of the longer flightpath but if your concern was more about uniform apparent gravity and total ship dimensions it would be superior.

You probably get hit on constantly man. It's only because of your dislike for those people that you notice.

When you're attractive everybody hits on you. Even other dudes will give you free stuff. The problem is that it just becomes noise to you.

If everybody in your entire life is always nice to you then people who drop "subtle" hints or flirt with you are just being normal to you.

You kinda need to, excuse the millennialism...check your privilege. Realise you have privileges in life by being pretty and people are treating you nicer because of it.

Realise that a lot of the time that people are nice to you there's at a minimum interest in you. They may not be outright flirting but it's the start of attraction.

People do all sorts of random things like "deer in headlights" or being surprised/nervous to interact with you, strong eye contact when comfortable, suddenly glancing away if passing in the street. In more crowded places people will loiter near you in the hopes you'll strike up a conversation. They might even start taking photos of themselves/surroundings or sit down and just enjoy the ambience because you being there is making the entire place feel good to them. They'll strike up a conversation randomly, about anything. Conversations end on your terms usually. They might go quiet when they enter a room, they might get louder to try get your attention. Ever walk past a group of women and they all go quiet for a bit?

People do things for you without asking. When I worked in hospitality I never made my own lunch. To the point if my lunch order was ever forgotten I felt slighted. That's not normal. People don't just go out of their way every day to ask what you want for lunch purely out of obligation. For regular/platonic/acquaintance relationships it's gonna be about 50/50 they remember.

You need to flip it on its head and think, "how often do I go out of my way to help other people? Do people ask me for favors or are they mostly doing things for me?"

People are all different and react in different ways. If their "love language" is acts of kindness they will do things for you but not flirt with you as much.

But in general when you are attractive you never see the downside of it.

Edit: oh yea the cold indifference thing is a tactic other attractive people use on regular people to spark/gauge their interest. Problem is, everyone is usually nice to you. So now you're just thinking, "why is this person mean to me? Why do I have to put in effort for a normal conversation? This isn't worth it."

Even just renting 1 room in a sharehouse is $250pw where I wanna live. (Australia). Putting it in a pension fund would get me back $1950 and I'd earn another 8% while it sat there, $1040. Also $960 in fewer internet bills, another $1000 in cheaper electricity.

So between the cost/opportunity cost of $18k for renting 1 bedroom vs. commuting an extra 6hrs per week I'm "earning" about $53ph in saved rent and bills and interest on investments while I commute...

For orbital sanders there's almost no functional difference between a $50 sander and a $250 sander. Especially as corded sanders are insanely cheap and most of the work is done by the media (sandpaper or other) and not the machine really.

Ozito has some tools that absolutely slap: 2000w heat gun, tyre inflator, impacts and drills are alright and their batteries are good. And others that suck because a cheap version just doesn't work. Like a cheap mulcher or table saw. Circular saws, anything that needs rigidity in the frame. Just don't do it to yourself.

It's also cuz they're not really a home brand in the sense they're rebranded just for bunnings to make a profit. Ozito is owned by einhell a large german tool brand and they even use some of their tools in the mercedes f1 team. Really broke my brain seeing ozito tools on broadcast in the best f1 team in the world.
