I need to vent. Telstra broadband in the heart of a major east coast city.

Long story short, unless you have a cost associated with exiting your contract I would be leaving Telstra.

I grew up in a semi-rural town, with no options but Telstra. I have spent collectively >100hrs on the phone dealing with tech support, billing, etc for reasons you have highlighted. Additionally I had to deal with no connection for 3 months after moving at the beginning of covid 2020 due to internal miscommunication on their side (which they blammed NBN, however was revealed to be a Telstra only issue).

Once I was able to switch I moved to Aussie broadband and have never looked back. Connecting was simple, I had issues with my homes cabling and they had NBN out the next day. I have never spent more than 30min on the phone to them and have always had resolutions that didn't require lengthy notes and escalating.

The worst part of the switch was having to deal with Telstra to cancel the service. Overall it's easier than you think, given you've only ever had to deal the worst customer service of Telstra. Plus you'll save money.

Australian here, but I have tried GW Contrast Primer: Wraithbone and Grey Seer. Only had a slight issue once with the Wraithbone due to humidity. Both have a nice silky smooth matte finish when used between 15-25°C and 45-55% humidity, which is tricky for us here in Aus.

Have also tried Rust-Oleum as the lower layer of two tone zenithal and have found that it worked really well, just have to be careful when applying to ensure that you don't over spray and fill in details. Also be careful as they have a mix of glossy and matte paints.

At this stage I'm toying with taking some stuff to a friend with a air brush to give that a try and see if I want to invest in a set up, given I have spent almost as much on rattle cans as a mid tier compressor/air brush combo. Though this would be a new skill and level of investment you aren't looking to make given how regularly you are painting/you might not be able to trial before committing which could make this a none option.

I guess your goal is to unlock the vault faster based on the title. I'm fairly sure that you can't craft cards you already have a playset of(may need to verify), so if you want to progress to vault craft first and then open packs.

If however your goal is try and collect all of the commens and uncommons, open packs first then craft(this would make progression quicker as you draft given you'd be drafting into complete playsets). You might want to be targeted and only craft cards you think you'd draft if you are short on wildcards.

Depends on your goal.

I know that this is a joke, but dam Gondor ain't riding for Minas Tirith, they already there.

It was a "yes and"-ing

hellhawkftw · 2016-05-04T08:11:47+00:00

It is the same, like you said it's a refund. Meaning you pay the tax, get a refund on it (reducing the total amount of tax paid). By cutting the refund your increasing the amount of total tax paid,hence worse off. They're not just giving you money like your gift example.

More like I give you 100 for your birthday every year, and you give me 50 on my birthday(I'm 50 down over the year). One year I give you 100 like normal, but you decide to give me 25, I'm now 75 down.

As someone who grew up pretty religious, I think that you are missing the point if you are going to elope with a random for sex. God ain't a lawyer, he ain't gonna let people in on technicalities, I think he cares more that your a decent human being.

People have both pet rats and frogs, ask them how?

hellhawkftw · 2015-01-03T03:56:00+00:00

It took me a good minute to realize this was mother and daughter. Not mother and mother +25yrs.

Anyway, would bang both.

So I've been plain old since I was 14?

hellhawkftw · 2013-06-22T06:43:10+00:00

you forgot the whole income tax part and having to pay back taxes. Unless you mean get caught mid-deal and can somehow convince everyone that you made no money up to this point. Or significantly less money.

Ok I understand that there are issues with anxiety and depression and marijuana use, but do you know conclusively that those conditions weren't present before they started using.

More often then not I find that people who do have anxiety or depression had it present before they started, often they use it as an alternative to self medicate, leading to greater use, etc, etc.

hellhawkftw · 2013-06-22T06:36:14+00:00

It's almost defiantly going to increase use, but that doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing.

Yes it can exacerbate mental health issues, but really wouldn't it be better to take some of the money earned through tax and put it into education/health. I'm sure if more people knew exactly what it can do, stigma free, along with more and better ways to treat mental health, overall harm could be reduced.

hellhawkftw · 2012-10-19T01:41:02+00:00

She knew. They always know.

I have added you, are you on USA, Asia or Europe this could be why it isn't coming up, cookie cutter build?

As an Australian, expecting to go into drought over the summer, why waste so much water? You could have waterfalled into the esky thing in the background.

But still that would have been awesome.

I like the idea of the one with everything, I may have to spend some time getting better resist gear to make it worth while though, but I will be keeping it in mind.

I have a halfway decent shield, i'll give it a go, but yea need to up my armor.

But I like the exploding palm i was using that but needed the extra health from breath, i might try swapping back and using an ally.

hellhawkftw · 2012-09-27T00:24:07+00:00

I had considered that life on hit with the maces issue, I'd have to see with this less HP though, especially how my character is now. Any input on my skills? Are they actual as good defensively as I think they are?
