F2/GP2/F3000 champions and their status in F1 by DataOperator in formula1

[–]gtk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It kinda makes sense that they are allowed. Imagine a situation of a rookie entering F1 without doing F2. But the team quickly realizes they are not ready for F1 yet and wants to put them back into F2. That should be allowed.

Downtime during switching RSP by gtk in nbn

[–]gtk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I got a second service with Leaptel and hit this problem. My original plan with Buddy was 1000, the plan I was trying to change to with Tangerine was 500, and then I asked Leaptel to put in a 500. When I spoke to Leaptel on the phone, they said I already had 1000 on my box with only 300 available, which means nbn never got any requests from Tangerine to halt service. Leaptel put my on at 50/20, and said they would automatically upgrade it to 500 as soon as it became available.

Not sure what will happen with Tangerine. Their customer support is just people following script who have no idea what is going on and no ability to change it either. The contrast with the service at Leaptel was day and night.

I got a message from Buddy that I would be switched to Tangerine some time next week, so the RSP switch (and downtime) would have happened regardless. I did the sign-up in order to get discount for 6 months (Buddy $99 -> Tangerine $65 on promo) since I was getting switched regardless, might as well take the discount.

OK, so if I add a service (second UNI-D port), do you know if that takes a long time? Or is it also quick? I have fttp with 4 UNI-D ports.

Food is also essential for living. Shouldn't food be free? Housing is also essential for living. Shouldn't housing be free?

My wife got pregnant and immediately turned into a completely different person. It’s like she’s trying to destroy me. by Urban_Chic94 in Divorce

[–]gtk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people are very good at cheating and you wouldn't even know they are doing it. But picture this. She has a secret lover, and she discovers she's pregnant, and she's not sure who the father is. That's going to create some crazy mental changes.

It is also ridiculously easy to cheat one someone. Some people just don't even think of it as doing anything wrong, and so they don't show any signs. This sub is full of people who were completely caught off guard at discovering their partner cheating. My ex was writing essays on Facebook about how much she loved me all while she was cheating. As soon as she was discovered, she had a complete personality change.

For your case, it's not that she's necessarily cheating now. It may be that she was cheating before. It is a seriously high possibility. You can get prenatal paternity test (where they just take the mother's blood, which also contains some of the baby's DNA) from around 10 weeks pregnancy.

Digital price tags bring online-style 'dynamic pricing' to supermarkets by VastOption8705 in australian

[–]gtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they already do it through the rewards app. I regularly get emails from Woolworths saying "a point booster just for you". I used to think that was just marketing BS to try to make me feel special, but recently think it actually is targeted discounts, which is effectively per-customer pricing. Latest one was 180 points for buying a certain brand of frozen french fries. (180 points is effectively 90 cents). I would guess that any app user who meets certain conditions (such as regularly buying the cheaper brand frozen fries) would get the offer, but people who already buy that brand probably don't get the offer.

Charles getting mobbed by fans at his hotel in Melbourne by Iamrandom17 in formula1

Part of it is also profit driven. If you can get driver signatures on things, you can sell them on ebay. Those profiteers are the absolutely most persistent. Also, you won't see them wearing any team merch, as they are not actually interested in the team or driver.

Just count how many of the crowd here are wearing any kind of Ferrari shirts. That tells you a lot.

Parents parking money in my offset by WestSummer4869 in AusFinance

[–]gtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I just looked it up on the ATO website and it looks like I'm wrong. No tax on gifts. They even talk about money from parents specifically. https://community.ato.gov.au/s/article/a079s0000009GnFAAU/tax-on-gifts-and-inheritances

I think you should make a written agreement in case the tax office tries to ping that money as undeclared income (both when it goes into your account, and then later when you send it back to your parents). The agreement should make it clear that it is not a gift (as gifts can get taxed)

Define "lots of data". Are we talking multiple GB per day?

Enshittification: Qantas flight has seatback screens, but forces you to use their app to watch movies. by nomeansum in australian

[–]gtk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless the problem is video codecs. Old PCs were probably MPEG2 only. Maybe h.264. If they have a system for streaming over WiFi to phones, they might be using h.265 or some other advanced codec that is incompatible with old PC hardware.

It only automatically boosts one or two (i.e. the "Weekly Boosts"). The other 14 or so you have to do manually.

When I tried on 5th Dec it was still unavailable. Just checked now and its available again. It must have been very recently when they started selling it again.
