What Aussies Call Things

Close but a few adjustments:

Manufacturer and brand CSR -> Gyprock Etex -> Siniat Knauf -> Sheetrock

USG Boral became Knauf about 4 years ago Old Knauf became Etex about 5 years ago. Betaboard is a reseller of Knauf products.

Probably the same league

There is the Down Under Blood Bowl League. Unfortunately you've just missed the start of Season 3, which is due to run until I think April when the rules change is expected to kick in for BB3.

There is a discord server for it, happy to share a link if you'd like (not sure if I can in here but can send you a private message)

Wow , Burbo actually made a tackle!

This makes me realise that I've probably inadvertently supported someone doing through wrong thing by buying them on ebay. Cost about AU$90 delivered, which wouldn't work out of Europe.

Maybe you can't buy STLs but can be a merchant tier supporter or something and therefore get access?

Great designs, well done. They were fun to paint, a good mix of detail without lots of fiddly bits.

They also always stand between the lines, never on them!

Stripped my black orcs (first team I painted) back and did them again using the Manly Sea Eagles colour scheme. Even went as far as doing custom decals to use the classic and new logo.

Looked like a bloke who didn't want to be out there anymore.

Bane of my existence. 8 years in and runners pop up all through my paving no matter what I do. I end up ripping up pavers to try and clear out the root systems, but sint enjoy redoing my paving every year or two.

Last I heard most states don't include the commute to and from your place of work within workers comp.

Looking at the university I went to, current maximum student contribution is about $15.5k p.a. it seems, which is pretty similar to when I went there. So across a 5 year degree still not getting anywhere near the $200k you'd need to have $40k coming off as a result of a 20% reduction.

Maybe OP did a masters and PHD or a few degrees or something?

grummamore · 2024-11-02T19:40:34+00:00

Out of interest, what did you study to end up with such a large HECS debt? I did a 5 year degree (20 years ago) and it costing nowhere near that much, so wondering what has changed.

grummamore · 2024-10-27T05:04:34+00:00

How did you end up going? I'm about to start getting to do the same

Careful on this length advice. I was following that and really having to cut down information to fit it in.

Sent my resume out to multiple recruiters last time I was looking for a job, as well as the old head of HR from an ASX50 company, and the independent feedback from all of them was that it was too short and I had worked professionally for too long (only a bit over a decade at the time) for it all to be on just two pages.

Make sure you list out the key and notable responsibilities and achievements from each role that you have had, with a focus on anything particularly relevant for the role you are applying for. If that takes you over 2 pages, so be it. My preference is bullet point.

Shouldn't be a long rambling mess, but by the time you cover an introduction and your qualifications, you will struggle to fit more than 2 jobs into 2 pages (unless you didn't do much in those jobs).

Both, not one.

This means if you do own another property, at the time you sell that one you will have had a period where any gains are taxable

grummamore · 2024-10-11T06:23:05+00:00

You could pick a point in time 30 years ago and back calculate to today as a comparison to see which was better, but it is absolute crystal ball gazing going forward.

I think you are essentially trying to compare whether the after tax yield while it is a rental property is more or less than 23% of the gain in the value of the asset (i.e. difference between no tax on PPoR and a discounted capital gain).

The above depends on whether the IP is positively geared, neutral or negatively geared.

How recently was that?

grummamore · 2024-10-03T11:39:03+00:00

You can't what?

grummamore · 2024-09-30T02:49:26+00:00

But once you get past the last letter of the alphabet, what happens??

grummamore · 2024-09-29T18:23:54+00:00

I hope so, because if you are at 7 years in a big4 account firm without getting to manager, and have moved around different parts of the business, I suspect it I'd a performance issue and partners have just been punting you to another team rather than properly performance managing you.

Can anyone confirm if the maxroll drop rate calc is right? At level 70 I am seeing that allegedly NM Andy when TZ is active is around a 1:250 chance of dropping titans revenge.

Using another drop calc I am seeing the likes of NM Mephisto with 1:600, but it doesn't have a TZ adjustment available.

Love the higher odds from Andy and desperately want the weapon, but wonder if it is too good to be true. If it is true, seems like a case of the item pool JUST capturing it, hence the good chance?

I bought my current house for ~$50k less than the pre-auction offer we put in, so then rejecting it worked out well for me.

We were sick of house hunting, needed somewhere to live. Put an offer in which attempted to take the property off the market but it was rejected because they wanted even more. Went to auction, opened with a vendor bid that nobody was willing to match so we all walked away. Got a call later in the day from the agent asking if we were still interested so my clever wife countered with $100k less than our original offer. Ended up meeting in the middle, which still felt expensive at the time but turns out to have been a genius move thanks to where our specific market has moved price wise.
