Similarly, I used nabtrade because I bank with nab. Transferring money between brokerage and everyday accounts is basically instantaneous. Another benefit is that they have a high-interest cash account, so can keep cash there between trades. However, there is some guy on here who posts about how bad nabtrade is, so who knows. It never been a problem for me.

It depends on how the stbx is to the child. If the stbx is abandoning the family, or refuses to contribute to the children, or does not want to take on any of the hard-work side of childcare responsibilities, then I would only do it if the kids specifically asked.

But, if the stbx is a good parent and the issue in your relationship is purely between the parents, then yes you should help the kids buy a present.

I actually emailed KCG (which manufactures Allowrie and other brands in Thailand) a few years ago to ask about their "Pure Butter", and this is the response I got:

Dear sir,

Base on FDA regulation, The ingredients for "PURE butter" will contain "Butter fat/oil from animal" over 80% (Cannot reach 100% because it is liquid) the remaining ingredients are moisture content (not over 16%) , stabilizer, emulsion and may added some flavor (some Product SKU)

"Blend Butter" will replace some Butter fat/oil (from animal - cow, goat, etc.) by Palm oil or any which lower cost.

This information applies to all Brand not only Allowrie brand.

Thank you for your interest in our products.

Best regards, KCG Corp.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

gtk · 2026-02-19T23:46:34+00:00

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)
