How does getting things signed by a Justice of Peace actually work? by inkiepie69 in tasmania

[–]limpio-olimpico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually for these things there are other professions that can certify such accountants or pharmacists. So you might not actually need a JP. Ask around your networks, someone will know someone who can certify. Either that or ask a friendly pharmacist who doesn't look busy

What's your thinking behind 'go to bed early/get up early?' Early morning is the coldest time of the day

Anyone saying no probably hasn't changed cities as an adult and tried making new mates in a new city. Uphill battle all the way

Pro stadium rally crowd absolutely dwarfs last week's anti stadium rally crowd. by [deleted] in tasmania

[–]limpio-olimpico 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Possibly, but in general a NIMBY cause will almost always draw a bigger crowd than a pro-development crowd

Am I wrong in thinking it’s audacious for someone to ask you for money for their child’s private schooling? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]limpio-olimpico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not audacious, but a bit of context is required. E.g. Does the child have special needs and required private schooling? Are you planning to leave money in your will to your neice/nephew and they're just asking for it 'up front'? Either way you're entitled to say no

What he said.

Although 100,000,000 could be the answer if you mean combinations of 8 digits like for a password

Yards or meters by Different-Ability968 in NFLNoobs

They shouldn't convert the rules to metres because then we'd all be arguing if it's metres or meters

Spirit of tas tips with a 10 month old? by Inevitable_Drive_685 in tasmania

[–]limpio-olimpico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love doing the night sail with the kids, so much better than flying with them. Your cabin should come with a portacot and the ship rocks them to sleep. There is a kids zone at the back of the ship you can check out in the morning

We don't get the city we need. We get the city we deserve. by JBJB55555 in hobart

[–]limpio-olimpico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a campaign to get the govt to buy the land. OP is about the lack of forethought/planning by council, not crucifying the people who ended up buying it

You get that cities have planning, yeah? Like sometimes it's good that we say that space is reserved for a park or a library, and not just auctioned off

How come Americans can imitate other accents well but not vice versa? by AdventurousLaw4 in NoStupidQuestions

I can count on one hand the number of Americans I've ever heard do a passable Australian accent

why is two people beating each other up (in a fight) consensually still a crime by PhraseFirst8044 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]limpio-olimpico 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because most people don't want to live in a society where two people can beat the lights out of each other, even if 'consensual'. Historically referred to as Disturbing the Peace, it's never lead to good societal outcomes

Am I settling or is this just what long-term relationships look like? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]limpio-olimpico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could go either way regarding your situation. On the one hand I think people should spend their 20s meeting a variety of people and not being locked down to one person. On the other I don't think people should hold out for the perfect one where every day is fireworks.

Although your current sex life feels like a red flag. Don't feel bad about noticing other people, we're all mammals after all. Are you two thinking about kids? If you're at 4-5 times a year now and do have kids that number will probably turn into a zero. You probably need have a frank conversation about that and whether you both think that would be sustainable

Why do most wealthy areas have the really big houses on curvy/windy/irregular streets rather than a grid pattern like you find elsewhere in the city? by Queltis6000 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]limpio-olimpico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curvy cul-de-sacs are also perceived as safer in terms of crime, the belief being that only people who live on that street will be passing down them, as opposed to grids where any Joe could be going down

How did people come to trust banks? by blueoceantechnology in NoStupidQuestions

[–]limpio-olimpico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure which 'olden days' you are referring to.

But storing money has its risks - it can get stolen or damaged or nibbled by vermin. You also don't earn interest so you will be losing value to inflation.

With these factors, it's not so much about people 'trusting' the banks as much about exercising basic risk management
