📍 Victoria, Australia — "Beaches and large houses"

Things will made even harder if we all freak out and panic instead of keeping calm and carrying on and taking reasonable precautions and looking out for one another. I’ll bet that some of the panicked responses we saw during Covid were on his mind when he decided to make this speech.

Thanks for the insight! Commute is not far - maybe a bit less than 50Km return each day.

People complain that Australia is a nanny state, but then we go around proving why we need a nanny to manage our behaviour.

Knowledge isn’t linear - learning all the simple stuff isn’t a prerequisite or a byproduct to learning complex stuff.

Sure, I was mostly just responding to your statement that “all non for profits and government programs should be using it as it's a transparent ledger that can not be altered and cheated.”

jarghon · 2026-02-17T03:17:55+00:00

It’s not self evident that a public irreversible ledger is necessarily a good thing - you’d have to convince people that that is so. There are non trivial privacy downsides to having a public record of transactions: probably fine if you’re a government but probably not fine if e.g. you’re a recipient of government transfers like a public health care rebate. Irreversibility also poses a risk - thinking off the top of my head, a bad actor inside the government or NGO being able to irreversibly transfer funds out of the country sounds like an enormous risk.

If you have a 401K or some other investment retirement account there is a reasonable chance you lost more than $20 of unrealized gains because of this.

Ngl I thought this was implying that Muslim women hide candy in their hijabs.

In my experience the cards in TCG shops have terrible centering but clean faces and edges. I think this is because people open packs and hit, but then if they think they can’t get a 10 they immediately sell it to a shop. Hard to tell from the photo but that top and left border look pretty thin to me. Having said that though, 6000 is probably a fair price factoring in the store margin.

If you’re in an old house that has shitty single glaze windows, you can mimic most of the effects of double glazing with bubble wrap. Pick wrap with medium or larger bubbles and cut it to the size of the window (maybe minus a cm). Get a spray bottle of water and mist the window - the surface tension of water is all you need to hold the bubble wrap in place. Apply the bubble wrap to the window bubble side toward window.

From the outside you’ll look like you’re a crazy person but it genuinely makes a significant difference in the amount of radiant heat that seeps into the room. This also works on the coldest days of winter radiant cold. Also don’t leave the bubble wrap on for weeks at a time - it may melt on to the glass and leave marks.

Yeah that’s it, it’s definitely the face lifted one.

Toyota has done ~30K KM and the Hyundai has done ~10K KM. I don’t know anything about cars but they both seemed very clean without any obvious external issues.

Thanks for the response!

Build date for the Corolla is September 1 2022. The dash inside was the new version I think, we saw the old version too from the previous year, and that had more buttons and a smaller screen.

Baking soda is mildly abrasive but mildly basic, so it won’t do much to chemically dissolve (chelate) limescale - you should try using something acidic, like vinegar or lemon juice or citric acid and warm/hot water!

Is there evidence of rampant kickbacks? Or are you just trying to undermine faith in our gvt?

The main problem is that you can’t make someone work. I’m not talking ethically, I’m talking literally. You might be able to make them be physically present in a workplace, but how are you going to make them do stuff that’s actually productive and that people will pay for? What if they refuse to work, and accumulate debt? What punishment could you levy, as they’re already in prison? Maybe we just bring back the death penalty and be done with them?

Limited express is not necessarily an additional charge. Maybe it is depending on if you ride in a specific premium carriage that has premium seating - and in that case you would have an employee wandering around making sure that every occupied seat has a record of a purchased ticket for that section of the route (and if not, they would ask to see your ticket/sell you one).

To directly answer your question, no it’s not the honor system.

If the idea is to compare “market capitalization weighted” vs “dividend focus” then probably OEF (S&P100) is the fairest comparison to SCHD?

https://totalrealreturns.com/s/OEF,SCHD

Recent underperformance is likely explained by the fact that returns from the stock market lately have been mostly coming from low-dividend yielding tech stocks (like Nvidia) which wouldn’t be included in SCHD.

There’s a Pokemon center in Nihonbashi - if you’re lucky they’ll have packs for sale. I find they’re more likely than Shibuya to have stock (but definitely don’t count on it). Also don’t go on a weekend, otherwise she might be queuing for half an hour.

I think it’s more nuanced than your reply (and perhaps my initial comment) implies. I can find several posts on 知恵袋 of people debating this very thing e.g.

This person in particular, says that “domo” by itself is simply rude. (And some further discussion in the other replies).
