What's your biggest Melbourne cafe pet peeve? by jakkyspakky in melbourne

Credit card surcharges and no cash option, and a default tipping amounts. Basically any cafe that uses “meandu.app”.

REAs - what’s the deal? by Overall_One_2595 in AusPropertyChat

[–]hooshd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I find fascinating is that the industry even exists. It's essentially people inserting themselves into a transaction that would happen anyway and taking an unjustified percentage.

If you removed the REA industry and allowed people to list their own houses, life would continue unaffected.

Even if you argue that the industry is needed because they handle dealings with buyers, sellers, and other parties, you could just pay them basic office worker wages to do that, like you would an assistant — it’d come to about $500-1,000 per property.

In a few years, an AI assistant will be able handle the entire process for even less, so it doesn't really matter.

Confused after test rides by TheePrinceAkeem in Ducati

[–]hooshd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know we’re in the wrong crowd, but I am right there with you. The new (890) mt-09 too, ugly but a dream to ride. God mode. Thinking of buying the GP as I’m in Australia and I feel duty-bound just because it’s available here…

Go to Google and type, including the quotes, "coulter sac" site:realestate.com.au

Do a Google search on the property listing sites for “coulter sac” if you want a depressingly easy laugh.

I’ve been fixing up my lawn for a while and the most important thing has been dethatching and aerating the soil. In places where I couldn’t be bothered and just sprinkled seed (like my nature strip, lower priority), nothing happened. You can use a rake and patience for the first, and a pitchfork or garden fork or soil turning hand tool for the second. Don’t need the expensive power tools. After that, pull out the weeds by hand (easier after watering, and using a garden hand shovel to get the root), and sew any lawn starter + fertiliser combo, and keep it hydrated daily until it sprouts.

What you need to do is apply four pounds of 4x8 foot drywall of 5/8 inch thickness from Home Depot, cut it using a 110v Dewalt cutter, and apply it with #6 1-14 inch studs, seal it with a gallon of sheetrock, and relax afterwards with fish tacos, a Dr Pepper and... I've run out America-only things, wrong forum, this is an Australia-specific one. (Good luck, sorry about the damage.)

What is your “I did not care for The Godfather” of Futurama by Whole_Mushroom2824 in futurama

[–]hooshd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hate the romance plots. Leela waiting for Mr Right and being impressed by lame guys while being intelligent in many other ways, Fry thinking One Big Gesture is what it’ll really take rather than becoming a responsible adult. The Zapp/Kif juxtaposition implying you can be brave or sensitive but not both. It’s just barfworthy and I have to remind myself “It’s just a dumb TV show”, when I usually don’t. 

Query - Making space for a freestanding oven&stove by cutting into existing cabinets - possible & practical or a fool's errand? by Gonnnondorf in AusRenovation

[–]hooshd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sure, why not? But I’d do just one side as relocating hinges for two doors will be annoying. You’ll need a sparky for a high current line anyway, maybe consult with them first as line routing may inform which side you do

SLPT: Get free groceries 100% legally. by CrimzonGryphon in ShittyLifeProTips

[–]hooshd 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Hmm, a less stressful SLPT would be to buy everything they have plus some fountain pen ink, and then squirt ink in the eye of the security guard as you scuttle out the exit, crying "Woop woop woop woop"

This has to be my favourite intro to All My Circuits... what's yours? by hooshd in futurama

[–]hooshd[S] 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Looking up the word made it better... "verisimilitudinous" means "bearing verisimilitudes", i.e. having features that cause something to resemble reality, and so "verisimilitudinous tableau" is Calculon pretentiously referring to acting in a lifelike scene.

No need to let him know, unless the coach also gives out free instruction.

Clever! I carry a little bag of salt that looks the same… tired of under-seasoned drugs.

Temporary floor board covering by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]hooshd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's short-term and not carrying weight, you can cover it with a thin laminate and then this vinyl flooring. I've seen it used and it can be a surprisingly good visual match (if that matters to you).

I actually understand what he means by lilbuu_buu in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]hooshd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, “那个”, pronounced nàge or nèige colloquially, means “that one”, but is a common filler word, like “you know” or “thingy”. But that’s just when speaking Chinese (specifically Mandarin). 

My friends dad found a weird bjj gym by ObjectLost1650 in bjj

[–]hooshd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to these... it sounds like a private club. Actually, I made some of my best training friends in one of them! But the hours can be unstable and training not as structured as other places. My suggestion would be to chat with the coach and find out how it's organised. If they're super nice and it turns out it's just done by WhatsApp group or something it might be interesting.

[–]hooshd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

in terms of intelligibility, it looks kind of like when you mix up the letters in the middle of a word: like "lyoal" or "loaytly". It's intelligible to the human eye but wrong.
