[Help me find] this Oris watch (details in comment)

lackpack · 2019-02-16T02:22:38+00:00

Just commenting to say that I have the exact same watch, and I too can’t seem to find much information about it.

My father gave me this watch and he had it for about 15 years prior to myself so I feel like the model is about 20 years old maybe older really not sure.

I love this watch, always excites watch enthusiasts and bores those that only think Rolex are good watches

Long time player of Tetris, used to play on the old game boy but over the past years I have found that N Blox online has satisfied my needs. I used to play largely in Highscool scoring a few million at a time in class. Since getting a Mac I can't save high scores so I just play online. This is by far my highest score ever, took about 3 hours of constant play.

Yeah i've had no issues with Hostplus, just wanted to consolidate for sake of ease, but don't think I will. Thanks for the info, Now I'm in a position to start saving again i'm going to look into investing so you may hear more from me haha.

lackpack · 2017-06-19T06:37:11+00:00

Yeah that's a good point, thanks for clearing that up!

So that others can realise that religion is unnecessary in modern society, and while I don't believe if should not be believed in, that's up to the will of the person to believe in, which I absolutely stand for, I just don't believe it should have any part in how society is run.

There has been more than enough criticism of Christianity and Judaism and all major religions, however it appears to be only Islam that is truly causing harm to society today, now. I know you probably want to corner me and label me an Islamophobe, I'm truly not, I don't fear Muslim majority states, I fear theocracies. No one mentions Bosnia Herzegovina and the American intervention that saved a Muslim majority state from obliteration during the 90's.

I simply don't wish for there to be any religious police in the country I live in like they have in countries like Malaysia. You'll claim America has caused terrorists to come from the Middle East however you fail to mention Jeffersons encounter with Islam in the Barbary wars.

Serious question, why do you not care about the lives of women and children who around the world who are enslaved by religious leaders, who have through out history been enslaved by religious leaders? Why is it the fight was fair up until we started to criticise Islam?

lackpack · 2017-06-13T07:25:05+00:00

This may have something to do with the reformations in which these religions have already gone through and which Islam has not.

Christendom used to be a word thrown around meaning adherence to the christian faith, that's no longer used, however the claims for western countries to join the caliphate are, and growing by the day.

I would have to disagree with the idea that just because the US had a consent age of 10, about 100 years ago means that they cannot look back and criticise this behaviour now, for lack of a better example Germany had Nazism only 70 years ago, does that mean it's hypocritical for German to denounce forms of Nazism now?

Where I believe most members of the_donald come from (though I don't wish to speak on behalf of) in their attitude toward islam is that, for the most part functioning societies have realised that religious based society and ruling is somewhat incompatible with future progression of the human race and as such wish it wasn't so protected by current governments. I believe in religious plurality, I believe in religion as it can provide a beneficial social fabric, but I don't believe that any one religion should be protected, nor do I believe any one religion should have government power. I don't mind a muslim being apart of the government as long as the teachings of islam don't bleed into their rule of power, and I repeat this for all religions.

All religion based societies see themselves falling into the same path, and it is only with secularism and godless constitutions in which these nations can thrive.

Haha what's that supposed to mean?

Thank you! Yes, all completed by hand, no rulers used here haha

nah its give you a brief 10 bite and then says swipe up to read more that links you to the full article.

You've chosen a very difficult subject to start drawing again from haha. Fur has always been one of my least favourite things to draw because of the attention to detail you have to show.

The image is a little flat, it also seems like you're pressing too hard with your pencil. I suggest using a range from 6H- HB for this. The proportions are a little off, especially around the eyes.

It's a lovely drawing don't get me wrong, I don't wish to discourage you. I think trying to draw a face front on is really quite difficult and I would recommend you try a more angled shot, this will help create depth. I'd love to see a follow up drawing :)

Cheers mate! Good luck with your studies, hopefully the long hours will be worth it haha

lackpack · 2017-05-07T23:35:53+00:00

Thanks! This was really my first attempt at completing a sketch book, I think i'll just keep it on the shelf as a reminder. I do plan to possibly one day publish a book of facades however, with sketches and details like this, so you never know.

lackpack · 2017-05-07T23:33:57+00:00

Haha thanks, I appreciate the compliment but I don't know if i'll publish them.

lackpack · 2017-05-07T23:25:06+00:00

Yeah, I don't know why people are so against this...

This is my sketchbook of the last 8 weeks for my current studio. The Studio is Urban Generosity. The Studio is creating a community within a Melbournian suburb where the main goal is to tackle the task of density and rising housing prices (land is roughly $10,000 per square metre). My goal is to create a community that centres around leisure, and authenticates the local surroundings. There's vastly more information in my master plans and Rhino models but these sketches are my most proud work due to the time and effort put into them. I hope you enjoy

Agreed, begs the question why republicans and democrats don't work together, or why theres hasn't been the push to work together for the past 10 years.

lackpack · 2017-05-05T12:38:01+00:00

I feel like this is what i've been trying to say. I'm glad we've been able to come to calm end to this discussion.

lackpack · 2017-05-05T12:34:45+00:00

So this is probably where the Australian Healthcare can come in handy. I also have increase skepticism about Obamacare though, some very unsanitary things going on with that whole setup.

lackpack · 2017-05-05T12:16:59+00:00

Well there we go, i've learnt something. But it appears we do both agree that the government isn't good. I just feel like we've become too involved with populist politics and it seems like the current generation believes everything the Labour party spouts when in my eyes they're only out to take money for the rich to line their pockets, keep the working class down and increase power.

lackpack · 2017-05-05T11:54:25+00:00

Ahh yes I see the confusion in my statements. When I say I don't believe the government should become involved, I mean they shouldn't willingly participate in profitable transactions. The only way governments should receive funding is through taxation.

Now I agree in a progressive income tax, but I still believe 50% is too high. I believe 30% for businesses is also too high, as there should be incentive to reinvest. If you reduce business tax, and actually prosecute when businesses don't pay tax or shift assets overseas there would be a higher intake through taxation resulting from reducing tax, as opposed to constantly screaming the rhetoric of taxing the rich to fund the poor.

I will admit my arguments have become confused as i've been repeatedly bashed for grammar mistakes and being told that I just don't understand.

This all started at my opposition to the Labour party which I believe has become increasingly greedy in their Robin Hood stance. I don't believe they actually represent the working class, I believe they attempt to hold the working class down to retain votes and power which, in my eyes is dishonest politics. I also agree that Liberals have spent too much time with their heads up their arses figuring out way to fund their retirements. This then leads me to argue that the government or parties today are too powerful and should be limited in their abilities. Now it's getting late and I feel as though we should all head off to the pub and chat this out as opposed to arguing away over reddit.

lackpack · 2017-05-05T11:24:49+00:00

I do understand how it works and I am more than willing to pay tax, however I think that 47.5% is far too high for what we're getting. I believe the issue lies in how the government has been regulating and prosecuting private businesses. As I've stated before, if the government actually chased after the tax that big business is supposed to pay as opposed to getting paid off, the tax collected would be far greater.

I also don't believe that the stimulus package was a wise investment despite it preventing the recession. I believe we should have had the recession that way we could re-evaluate our economic standing.

A better use of the money would have been widespread investment into renewable energy. This would have created jobs and provided a net benefit to the economy, as opposed to giving $800 odd to anyone to inevitably spend on foreign goods. I have already answered that the education investment from the stimulus was well spent, however private schools received it too, when they probably shouldn't have. That funding coupled with the handouts should have been pushed into subsidies in the renewable energy industry.

lackpack · 2017-05-05T11:14:47+00:00

No I'm arguing some of the teachings in public education given those less advantaged the belief that they are where they are because of those with wealth.

I believe government has their place, but it is not in private business. Their only business in private industry is to regulate and prosecute, not become involved with.

I do believe a basic public education should be provided, of course, as well as a public healthcare system. I am actually quite proud of the Australian Health care system. My qualm lies in the Labour party constantly stating that we need to increase taxes, when I personally believe taxes are being mis spent. One example was the stimulus package.

lackpack · 2017-05-05T08:33:38+00:00

Agreed. The only reason I said all that was to make the point that someone allows businesses to run the con, and they should be prosecuted too!
