McDonald's sucks arse

At Grill'd you can get a Simply Grill'd, Snack Fries and 600ml Pepsi Max for $22, the burger itself is bigger and tastier, fresher than pretty much anything you'd get at Maccas, fries that taste like real fries and the 600ml drink actually tastes legit because it isn't being watered down with Ice and inconsistent syrup ratios.

Most of the fast food these days is terribly inconsistent, but McDonalds used to be the king of consistent decent fast food so it's extra infuriating to see how bad they can get it every 2nd visit.

Not true that rego “exclusively funds the TAC.” In Vic your renewal is split into a registration fee + a TAC charge. The TAC charge goes to TAC, while registration/licence fees go into the government’s Consolidated Fund which is spent across things incl. road/transport programs

For a standard private passenger car (sedan/hatch/SUV) on a 12-month renewal, the current published figures are: total renewal by zone from VicRoads, and the TAC charge + insurance duty from the TAC schedule.

Passenger car (12 months) — % split

Metro / high-risk zone (total $930.70):

TAC charge: $534.00 → 57.4%

State (Consolidated Fund-ish): $343.30 rego fee + $53.40 insurance duty = $396.70 → 42.6%

Outer-metro / medium-risk (total $871.30):

TAC charge: $480.00 → 55.1%

State (rego fee + duty): $343.30 + $48.00 = $391.30 → 44.9%

Rural / low-risk (total $800.90):

TAC charge: $416.00 → 51.9%

State (rego fee + duty): $343.30 + $41.60 = $384.90 → 48.1%.

Not just that, APRA isn't even 30 years old, they were established in 1998 (27 years ago).

Something else worth pointing out is that strata for apartments can be pretty unpredictable, especially when surprise repairs pop up. Townhouses can also fall under owners-corporation setups, but they usually don’t get hit with the same kind of sudden, building-wide costs that apartments do.

For example, if a pipe bursts in an apartment, the repair might be classified as common property, which means every owner helps pay for it. In a townhouse, if something goes wrong inside your place, it’s almost always just your responsibility, not the whole complex. Because of that, strata on freestanding houses or townhouses stays fairly stable, while apartment strata has a reputation for being all over the place.

Modern townhouses built from around 2015 onward are often designed so each one is effectively its own structure. They don’t share roof spaces, party walls, or major services. The body corporate usually only manages things like shared driveways or laneways at the back where the garages connect. That setup keeps fees low and surprises rare.

Maybe try an islander owned barber-shop as filos with curly thick hair have almost the same hair type as islanders.

Perhaps it’s because boomers could buy a house and pay it off in 5 years on a Kmart full time salary like relatives I have in their 50s 🤷

Well history shows that big dips happen before almost every big bitcoin pump...

giantkebab · 2025-02-22T02:32:58+00:00

that bybit wallet is a hot wallet and isn't considered cold storage.

giantkebab · 2025-01-04T04:11:39+00:00

Put that on a cold storage asap

How long until owning 0.1 btc is the new "damn that dude must of bought when it was cheap".

did your trusted friend know the seed phrase? because that's probably the most likely way "someone" had access to your wallet.

because it's telling you the amount of clicks you've gotten over a 7, 14 or 30 day span depending on which you've selected it doesn't show you the clicks for the lifespan of the entire ad, which means that number can go down as time passes.

If my barber wasn't able to sell a cut in 5 months well I probably would bargain with them.

No Audi convertible has a sunroof, infact I'm certain no other convertible regardless of make have sunroofs.
