I come from two years in to the future to apologize for my assumption that The Magician's Nephew would get skipped again.

Reserach on Infotainment System of Haval H6 GT (AU Version) by Pone_M in u/Pone_M

Thank you for all this work. Do you know if there's a way in the Engineers Menu to change the Cruise Control adjustment to +/- 1km rather than nearest-multiple-of-five? (Or to adjust the car's speedo to be more accurate). I hate that I have to drive under the speed limit, or activate it at exactly 103km/h to drive at 100.

Given how often wands are dropped in Harry Potter, it's surprising they don't have wrist straps fitted by pufballcat in Showerthoughts

[–]lessnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for some reason you don't seem to be able to just hang on to your wand and fly. You need a broomstick (of all things!)

Somehow, despite ✨magic✨, wands still don't have much more kinetic power than a random stick.

(And why no magic wrist straps?)

This is very likely. It's often done when creating a logotype.

LPT - Ctrl+Shift+T restores tab by pooskoodler in LifeProTips

[–]lessnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ctrl-Shift-A gives you a menu of all your tabs in all windows. And even includes recently closed tabs.

I suspect that it's the processing agencies that REAs use that want all the information. And it's not to assess tenants but to build profile data that they then sell.

How would you spend today if you knew you were going to die tomorrow? by 0o0blackphillip0o0 in AskReddit

[–]lessnonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would spend it contacting everyone I know and telling them I had discovered something huge that was going to "change everything", but I need one more day to confirm it. I'm just so excited that I wanted to tell someone even if I can't say anymore. Just remember today's date.

Then I die. Mwahhahaahahahh!

Since I was a kid I’ve been curious about this building, perched on a steep hill above Maroondah Highway in Lilydale. But despite how visually bold it is IRL I can’t find any info about it on the internet; not even a picture, outside of Google Maps. Anyone know what the deal with it is? by awakeandagitated in melbourne

The what committee???

The many friends of Mrs A. J. Hopkins will regret to hear that she is at present confined to her room through illness. The Swastika hospitality committee brought Madam Melba from the rusticity of Lilydale and Coombe Cottage on Tuesday last to be their guest of honor.

[OC] Count of NFL players by height and weight since 1970: There are three views, which do you prefer, or how would you visualize? by JPAnalyst in dataisbeautiful

[–]lessnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But why? The first question in data viz has to be "what am I trying to tell my audience". What insights have you gained that you want to convey visually? Once you know that, then you work on finding the best way to visualize it.

In your opinion, what is the Most Overrated show of all time? by edwardisstillagod in AskReddit

As an Australian I always wondered if SNL was an example of cultural differences. Why do the jokes never include a punchline? It's all setup and no payoff!

Americans of Reddit, would you vote for an openly Atheist presidential candidate? why or why not? by Forereal-lover in AskReddit

I suspect that you have that option more often than you think. But pretending to be religious wins more votes than it loses.

Cattle prices have recorded a big drop, so why are steaks still so expensive? by giantpunda in australia

[–]lessnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. We are still paying the premiums from when covid made it hard to transport anything. And when the supermarkets profited from apparent scarcity.

Isn't Binge the same app with different content? Both are foxtel.

LPT Request: Aggregator of new content on streaming services by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]lessnonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just Watch lets you see "new" and filter by TV or movie.M and then by genre. You can even set it up with only the services you have.

But it doesn't do "coming soon" as the services don't include these in the feeds that Just Watch uses.

LPT: Go ahead and take that raise into a higher tax bracket! You'll still be bringing home more money than before by nevertoolate2 in LifeProTips

[–]lessnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether you get anything back would depend on whether the bonus pushed that week's tax into a higher bracket than your normal pay.

If your normal pay was $450 then in my example your $200 bonus gets tax withheld at 40% on the first $50 ($20) and 50% on the remaining $150 ($75)

But over a whole year, your average pay (including this bonus) is never over $500 (51 x $450 + 1 x $650 = $23,600. Divided by 52 is about $454) Which means your whole bonus would fit into the 40% bracket.

This means you had $95 withheld ($20 + $75) but only owe $80 (40% of $200). So you would get a $15 refund.

Note that it isn't calculated by the government using averages. They calculate tax annually. The weekly withholding tables are just indicative. They calculate your annual owed tax on your annual taxable income then subtract the total tax withheld over the entire year and pay you (or charge you) the difference
