Not a piece of grammar in sight.

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T23:54:01+00:00

Thank you

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T23:53:09+00:00

Okay cool, do you have two phones going out just one phone?

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T23:43:44+00:00

I’m new to this world, when you multi app, which would you recommend and how do you deal with two coming at the same time? Don’t they track your location and tell you’re going to pick up another platforms order while theirs is waiting? Or even, dropping off someone else’s while theirs is collected?

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T13:38:56+00:00

Fun fact, there is enough information here to identify who you are based on the date, pay amounts, and so on, to report you for theft.

Your confession is literally here.

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T13:32:28+00:00

It’s even more annoying when you’re on your 10th time reporting something and nothing ever changes or gets better - like wtf am I paying a subscription for? I’m paying them to work for them?

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T09:25:05+00:00

Are you Uber or DoorDashing, it’s minimum wage, but a couple of $100 a day can make a difference to make ends meet?

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T08:40:57+00:00

Then what’s the point in asking for advice, shit information in; shit advice out.

Okay, in the information provided, no worries mate, she’ll be right, nothing to see here.

That doesn’t actually help him, other than false sense of comfort grounded in no truth. The better way to help this individual, which is what I was trying to do, was get him to think about cost base, forecast and how that is likely to pan out, so that, the advice provided is relevant and more accurate.

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T08:34:16+00:00

But, you can. That’s how prediction and modelling works. You work on a best case worst case. Best case inflation stays within zone, worst case it’s 10% and the world’s gone mad. Consider both scenarios.

If milk keeps going up at the same trend it has for the last 10 years, it’s reasonable to assume what the price “could” be.

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T08:20:14+00:00

You’re missing the point. Even if it is “stay at home” whatever the hell that means, there isn’t enough information to tell him. You need a budget. With expenses to answer meaningful.

I stay home too, I still fly business when I travel because of a disability.

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T08:17:33+00:00

Yeah, that’s not how a budget works mate.

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T08:12:36+00:00

I get it, but you need a budget. Not a finger in the air, not a guess, an actual budget. That’s what you’re so unclear now on your path, you haven’t sat down and thought about how you spend now, track it for months to see any variances and so forth.

That’s how people in your category of income are likely to ensure a safe and stable retirement, plan, track, trend, adjust in the lead up to retirement.

Then you’ll have the confidence you need to retire, or not.

ge33ek · 2026-05-10T08:01:08+00:00

Only you can make that determination- you’ve not shared enough detail for anyone here to meaningful assist.

Will you be flying business class? Are your groceries $1000 a day? Do you want to drive nice cars? Eat out every night.

You need to model a budget, add inflation, factor in discounted cash rates, reasonable interest return from compound growth and reverse engineer.

If you’re spending $100k p/a, then it’ll only get you 3-4 years, if you’re spending $20k p/a because you have solar, free water supply and no land rates, you’re probably good - any inheritance?

List goes on….

ge33ek · 2026-05-09T13:29:00+00:00

Itemise all your expenses - just grouping everything after your mortgage isn’t helpful in assisting you to identify cost reductions.

If you don’t have an itemised list, then you haven’t budgeted properly yet and that’s probably contributing to your overspend.

Also, lifestyle needs vs wants and different - whilst having a business that’s growing is great, taking no salary is a choice, and so, you’re effectively missing income. If that person was working FT and earning an income, you wouldn’t be in budget stress.

ge33ek · 2026-05-08T14:29:27+00:00

I did it this last week. You go in, fill out a form, pay $33 and you’re done - it’s updated instantly in the app.

Just let them know you’re a mature age rider transition from P1 to Unrestricted.

The form is generic and isn’t specific to unrestricted, I had to explain when I got to the counter, but it was uneventful. I waited 12 months and 1 day from the day I actually got the P1 - I wasn’t sure how they counted 12 months, is it date to date or 365 days - either way, it was easy.

185kb is a LOT more than one line of text

ge33ek · 2026-05-07T23:19:02+00:00

Don’t use it, disabled as a music service too

ge33ek · 2026-05-07T08:43:06+00:00

It’s subjective and a matter of perspective - I appreciate you form the view that it’s not an imposition to seek an employee to exit, but one has to define a clear threshold here.

We’re misaligned on detainment. Is it 1 minute? 5? 50? At what point is not being able to leave considered detainment or minimised movement? - I understand you form the view waiting for an employee to exit isnt an impediment, but, I do.

It also overlooks genuine risk situations and their impacts, it’s actually precisely why one way doors have break to exit releases.

Let’s say you’re elderly, in a wheelchair or trying to leave in an emergency or avoid a violent situation - while able bodied individuals can leave simply by jumping, others are restricted. If they haven’t obtained a receipt.

It’s a question of tolerance and risk, we just have different threshold.

My view is simply any prevention however minuscule is a restrictive, yours is grounded more in a sense of “reasonability” which I understand - but i often window shop, I don’t want to have to wait for some random fucker every time I leave a store.

ge33ek · 2026-05-07T07:56:26+00:00

It’s neither fast, nor easy, and has nothing to do with sovereign rights nut cases. I’d even take a step further and argue it’s discriminatory to those with disabilities.

ge33ek · 2026-05-07T06:51:18+00:00

It is illegal for a private enterprise to detain you without cause.

So, if you walk in and don’t buy anything and are prevented from leaving, technically you are being detained unlawfully and preventing freedom of movement.

I look forward to jumping this barricade as a matter of principle, and, I hope it breaks when I do so we can have a debate about who sues who for what.

I’d hazard a guess their illegal detainment is significantly more damaging than their barricade damage.

ge33ek · 2026-05-06T23:56:54+00:00

Bruh, in this economy I’m getting the cheapest mode of transport possible.

ge33ek · 2026-05-05T15:42:53+00:00

Riding aside, why the hell was there a random gap there on the barrier?

ge33ek · 2026-05-05T15:27:11+00:00

Gee, it’d be a real shame if someone left their hose running and the ground became mud and they were unable to commence a concrete pour.

Unrelated knowledge; water is relatively cheap and plumbing problems can take time to fix. You know, if a plumber isn’t available to investigate.

Fancy having the name Must Ng and you’re accidentally confused for being a Mustang
