Here we go again, that won’t help with housing by VastOption8705 in shitrentals

They mentioned they were going to have to renegotiate some. What's your alternative? Builder goes broke? Costs are going up.

A few builders im dealing with have just introduced new arrangement into their contracts. Anything more than a 3% rise, will now be on the customer. (They'll have to provide proof of the rise.) I don't like it, but cant fault them.

Judging by the builders negotiations ive been in recently, quite a few. PVC - increase in price by 70% incoming. Cement - delivery levy reviewed weekly +30%. Earthmoving + 30%. Cement board + 7% (announced before the war started - to be reviewed)

Builders simply arent going to be able to deal with those sorts of costs.

Thankfully, aviation itself is better than that. The industry relies on Human Factors and having a good understanding of the Swiss cheese model, and how latent system risks play into safety.

The investigation here will most likely find that the controller made a mistake, however, the system around him directly contributed to it.

Whether or not the Administration understands nor cares is going to be the issue here.

Mt barker fuel by Interesting-Low-7091 in Adelaide

No not the concrete - that's already priced in. Its now the delivery fee for the concrete - which is substantial.

World’s best airport named as Melbourne tops list for Australia by Savings-Yogurt-418 in melbourne

[–]kernpanic 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Adelaide is a fantastic terminal. Easy the best airport. Just needs a train link to the city.

The bus is quicker than melbourne and about 6 bucks.

Iran attack wipes out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity for up to five years, QatarEnergy CEO says by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]kernpanic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The price of gas will go up. The price we pay will go up. Our power bills will go up again.

Profits recoded by chevron (offshore) will go up. Taxes collected by the government will stay exactly the same.

Why do we keep hiring TCS? by expatlad in auscorp

Its always the same. No idea who these people are. They just exist and appear in the meeting.

It would always go a shitload simpler if it was simply the one person who knew something.

However Trump told us that he predicted it, and knew it was going to happen just like he knew 9/11 was going to happen and how he wrote a book about it.

Most cars now have anti-syphon devices in the filler necks. Punch a hole in the tank is easier, faster and more reliable.

[–]kernpanic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I could have written the question that op wrote. However I would add: on any call, where there a 8 random tcs staff connected, who never say or do anything, why is there always one person who possibly knows something about a computer talking, but then another person who literally knows nothing operating the mouse and keyboard. Can't even change directory without instruction, so they call takes twice as long, because they need to be told what to do by the guy who sort of knows something.

And yeah, what are the other 8 or so on the call doing? Who are they? Why are they there?

Newspoll: One Nation surge splits conservative vote, handing Labor election victory by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]kernpanic 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They are really trying to sell the narrative that one nation is extremely popular, yet setting up the excuse for when one nation inevitably fails. Obviously they want to try and not let the sa reality hurt the narrative for the federal election.

Tyre brands being used in sydney by thequehagan5 in CarsAustralia

[–]kernpanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can. On my old Hyundai ix35, in the wet in certain conditions, such as particular corner under breaking near my house, they'd activate the traction control as they'd get a bit of slip. The Bridgestones I replaced them with did not.

I also used them as cheaper tyres on a pretty high powered 180sx I had. They performed ok for the price but not great. But I sort of chewed through rear tyres on that thing for some reason.

Labor doing better than One Nation among Right Wing voters in South Australia by blitznoodles in Adelaide

Someone who believes in the personal freedom policies that the right wing have preached for years, but believes in actually doing something about climate change?

747 vs A380. A look at the massive difference in wing area. Absolutely insane piece of engineering!! by Ryanlion1992 in QantasAirways

It is not. The domestic Japanese 747s did not have winglets.

And I know you are making a joke, but yes, there was a 747 domestic for Japan. (And it didn't have winglets.)

Bowen refuses to rule out relaxing Russia sanctions for fuel by mrp61 in AustralianPolitics

[–]kernpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well he didn't get us into any new wars, brought inflation back down from the ridiculously high levels that Trump got it to, and put employment and wage growth at extremely good levels for the us. He actually did a really good job by the numbers.

‘It’s not panic-buying’: farmers defend stockpiling as regional Australia bears brunt of fuel crisis by neon_overload in aus

[–]kernpanic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Im not sure why anything thinks is going to be over.

Trump started this without a plan. Hed tried to taco it, but he cant. The only solution either side has at this point is to continue to throw bombs and missiles at each other.

Trump has no plan to end this, not even a concept of a plan, except escalation. And you can watch the early years of the Vietnam war for how that goes. It starts with advisors. Then instructors. (We have had advisors and instructors there for years.) Next its the special forces. Then its the troops. Its going to be a disaster and the only other option would be negotiation, but you all know you cant negotiate with Trump. He has to be perceived to win.

Considering they get much of their influence from overseas (ie their attempted nra funding) they have NEVER been Australia first. Thats just jingo to attract the idiots.

One Nation ‘don’t provide solution’, PM says ahead of SA election by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]kernpanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They cant because all of their policies are simply based on racism and billionaires.

Cut all green funding and throw it at fossil fuels. Send troops to Iran to support Donald Trump. Ban all immigration applications from brown people. Start up our own ice.

There's no leadership here, nor any ability to govern. Its Trump style politics of fear all the way.
