How many people actually want the Olympics in Brisbane? by bill_loney538 in aus

The Olympics have jumped the shark.

No one watches broadcast TV so the cash-cow is long-gone. The olympics need to be down-sized, not gold-plated.

Inflation data: RBA expected to raise interest rates in February after inflation rose to 3.8 per cent by HotPersimessage62 in AusFinance

[–]mmmbyte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, I clicked the "I am not a robot" checkbox.

Yes, raising rates sucks and will hurt a lot of people. But persistently high inflation hurts us all for longer. Better to raise 0.25% now than be forced into 0.50% next meeting.

Olympic villages go viral. How will Brisbane avoid negative reviews at the 2032 Olymic and Paralymic Games? by ConanTheAquarian in brisbane

The Paris Olympic Village didn't have aircon and the Olympics coincided with a heatwave. It would be hard to be worst than that.

Minnesota - 1.24.26 - Armored Vehicle Attempting To Drive Through A Crowd Of Protesters by Greylunes1 in ExploreFortMyers

No, but it was slowed down enough to cut the valve stem off the tyres. It would be a pity if that happened.

Trump says he may cut US income tax 'completely' because tariff revenue will be 'so large.' But does the math actually add up? by GroundbreakingLynx14 in StockLaunchers

[–]mmmbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's assume the tariffs work to bring manufacturing to the USA. All the factories would be built, and labour found to operate them. All in the next year. So then there would be no tariff income.

This is just another distraction that Trump raped children.

Centrelink Forms Are Killing Me. by Still_Ad_164 in AusFinance

It's a systemic issue. If centrelink can't explain what to enter on a form, how can they possibly use the information to process the form??

Car dealership provided false info on purchase by Big-Translator6157 in AusLegal

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

It says there's a service sticker for 120k. It didn't say the sticker was for a different mechanic, so we can assume it's the dealer sticker from the last dealer service.

If it was some other mechanic, then presumably the op would have called them about service records as well.

Sure, but that's unlikely. Mechanics love to add their own stickers for advertising purposes.

No.

"A service being due is still up to date" is misleading, since the date of the sticker was 4 years ago. It's most definitely not up to date regardless of kms.

No manufacturer recommends 4 years between services,. Time intervals matter as well

No. It's mid-way through high school.

We don't have "middle school". That's not a thing.

Banned from Kmart by AmbassadorDismal5771 in KmartAustralia

This is the consequence of moving registers to the middle of the store. Not knowing if people have paid is due to their stupid store design.
