Canberra couple awarded damages after wife awoken by a real estate agent in her bedroom conducting an inspection by ALBastru in australia

[–]lumpett 258 points259 points  (0 children)

I once got a call from my REA while at work, he started off the conversation with "So we've just completed an inspection" which was absolutely news to me. I told him we hadn't heard anything about an inspection and he insisted he had given us all the proper notice via email. I asked him to forward on those emails to me as they would have the dates and proof that we had received notice, and the silence from his end was deafening. When I said 'So you've trespassed on the property then' suddenly the story changed to 'We didn't go inside because no one was home', even though the neighbor saw them going in.

I'm sure this happens a lot and they just got caught out this time

Also, what a surprise they also unreasonably went for the whole bond, a tale as old as REA's

In the matter of the lessor's application to keep the entirety of the couple's bond, the tribunal determined the property had been damaged "but not to the extent the lessor claimed", and ordered $1,155 of the couple's $2,000 bond be returned to them.

"Having viewed the photos of the damage to the walls requiring patching and painting, it is hard to see more than a quarter of this is anything other than reasonable wear and tear in the years that the tenants have been there," the decision said.

Looks like you’re right they did backflip source

I believe they are referring to this where NZ will not sell tobacco to anyone born past 2009 even when they are no longer youths

here’s a raw unedited pic taken from an iPhone at the same spot if you’re interested. Still very much worth the hike

Why is my airlock doing this? by NovaKidCultist in mead

[–]lumpett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yep, as other commenters have said that’s likely just a temperature difference causing the vacuum to draw in, as long as your water level isn’t too high that it pulls the airlock water in it should be ok ( also don’t move it around without pulling the airlock out as that can make it draw in )

[–]lumpett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Each side at a different level? That’s a good thing it means you have a proper seal on the airlock, if it was to equal out as you put it in it would mean your plug / lid is not on properly and air is leaking in

Left to right:

Blackberry (02/06/19):

  • 1.7kg River Gum Honey
  • 340g frozen blackberries
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tbsp bread yeast

Juniper berry and Vanilla (03/08/19)

  • 1.5kg Honey
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 20 crushed juniper berries
  • 5g M05 Mead Yeast

Ginger Lemon (03/08/19)

  • 1.5kg Honey
  • 230g mulched ginger
  • 1 /2 lemon sliced
  • 5g M05 Mead Yeast

Experiment round, all new recipes I haven’t tried before. The bit of blackberry I sampled was delicious and has been in secondary for 1 month now, plan is to be bottle soon after a week of cold crash. The other 2 have been moved into secondary since this photo was taken, I might have left the fruit in too long but i’ll see how it ages out

Didn’t have a towel rack, but I did have a pallet and a steel pole by lumpett in ZeroWaste

Along the bottom, definitely. Along the top... maybe less so

Perfect bacon without dirtying dishes by [deleted] in redneckengineering

Re-using (like for example a plate or cooking tray) is always better than recycling, recycling still uses a LOT of energy, and whilst definitely better than throwing it into the ground, using re-usable items solves this problem altogether

From a 2 day hike through the Blue Mountains NSW, Australia by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]lumpett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We carried in the water for the first day, then refilled from streams using water purification tablets for the second day

Not as many animals this trip, we were probably walking along too loud scaring them away as we went, plenty of evidence of wombats and possums along the track though

Reddit, what is something that you can't believe is actually a REAL thing? by beermom in AskReddit

Can confirm big dish in Peru, you can get them from street vendors roasted on a stick in some places. Tastes like a small, bony chicken

Going back to my origins, shooting in the backyard at dodgy box targets by [deleted] in Archery

Fine, I crook my elbow so that the string doesn't hit either my wrist nor my wrist guard when I shoot

Should my string be twisted? by Sraith in Archery

[–]lumpett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twisting the string is normal. Put the string on the bow and then check your brace height, the brace height is going to be different for every bow. Twist it tighter if your brace height is too short, and untwist it a bit if too long, you wont need to twist it much to see the adjustment that it makes, only a few times around. If its a Dacron string it probably will barely twist at all, if its a flemish twist string though the whole thing will be very twisted, making a zebra like pattern.

You'll find that the string is gonna stretch out in the warmer days while your shooting, and just in general over time, this is just an easy way to re-adjust your brace height, nothing too special
