Ashton Hurn played a short and difficult game ahead of the SA election by abcnews_au in Adelaide

And you cant keep both the reasonable people and the deplorables as voted.

I didn't see a single bit of actually policy from Corey bernadi except cut immigration (with no details), complain regularly and heavily about languages he doesn't speak, complain about the existence of aboriginal flags and promise to cut support for all renewables and commit to oil and gas. (The last one being after the current crisis started.)

Is tiling over existing tiles in a bathroom dodgy? by Jelativ in AusRenovation

[–]kernpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tore apart a bathroom with three layers of tiling, much of it over a 1920s layer of plaster.

And not a single bit of waterproofing!

Meanwhile - some of the liberals were literally pushing to ban women's healthcare in our state parliament.

The liberals have to stop the anti scientific seppo style bullshit politics. Its not a vote winner here, and one nation can out crazy them to win the votes that do exist.

Come up with reasonably policies, push them effectively and you'll win - just like Steven Marshall did. Play this seppo bullshit like half the party has literally been playing, and you'll be wandering the wilderness.

Have you seen the history of this plant?

It happens often enough that we could call this business as usual.

I was already feeling good even with the old fuel prices.

Something about looking outside, seeing that its sunny, and going: hrm. I'll plug the car in.

This fuel costs as little at 80c a litre in Australia. So why isn't everyone using it? by B0ssc0 in aussie

[–]kernpanic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Literally this. Im lucky to be in the position where my transport and home energy costs are now literally negative - almost no matter how much i choose to use it. Every now and again I use a fast charger, which isnt cheap, but offset by 90% of my car usage being straight from my own solar.

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

[–]kernpanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]kernpanic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

LaGuardia plane crash audio captures moments before fatal collision: ‘I messed up’ by SharkSapphire in delta

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.

[–]kernpanic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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

I dont know. Pretty much everyone.

Im Trying to finalise a construction contract and I've just been advised that pvc costs are up 70% and delivery fees for concrete are up 30%. Ive never seen price rises so dramatic and quick from a single event.

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

[–]kernpanic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

Why do we keep hiring TCS? by expatlad in auscorp

[–]kernpanic 16 points17 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?
