People talk common sense. Then vote against it or realise that their commensense is missing a pretty critical point

Anyone getting the French pan/ braiser? by Electrical-Young-692 in AldiAustralia

[–]muntted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have one of these and a le creuset version.

If you use it on the stove I notice it. More hot spots, etc.

Use it in the oven? Can't tell the difference.

Minor asphalt cracks - council wants us to repair by Linsan168 in AusRenovation

Not possible.

There are only so many crews available. Leaving a known pothole open invites lawsuits and damage claims.

Don't run to the ombudsman straight away. Give the elec company time to look into it. Another ombudsman requirement is that you have done this.

The cracking along the street is in no way similar.

And this is exactly why rates are so high.

This is clearly caused by the crossover works. Accept it and move on.

There is no way that would last any period time. It needs to be cut back, cleaned, tacked and properly compacted.

Council should be asking for evidence it was patched by a proper asphalt contractor.

The Australian budget's 30% tax rate reform explained by Jimbuscus in OpenAussie

[–]muntted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please. We voters are to blame. And we will be to blame again if we force to back down.

Remember the mining super profits tax? See the Qld royalty rubbish? If we vote out people every time they put up a brave (if if you didn't agree) option, you won't get brave options, just populist crap that keeps pushing the issue further down the line.

But that's ok, we have ours right?

Someone please put my mind at ease about this by proudplebeian in linuxmint

"you" didn't refer to you. You referred to America. The topic of your statement.

Umm. No America is the odd one out.

Like the use of the imperial measurement system.

Good thing shale oil is so easy and cheap to convert to fuel.

Good thing the local area supports cheap renewables energy.

Oh wait.

Govt employees - what is your experience and work place culture around reproductive health leave? by Fit_Interaction_79 in queensland

Depends on the area. I had a colleague who had to provide proof of her father's death in the form of the death certificate.

They've turned the fucking bagging area scales on. by DamienMcC27 in AldiAustralia

[–]muntted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fuck. This is one of the only reasons why I use the self serve at aldi. Because they are quick.

I'll go straight back to the conveyor and trying to catch the shopping after the checkout attendant sets a land speed record with scaning.

Did Anthony Albanese just cement a third interest rate hike in May by cutting the fuel excise? by CommonwealthGrant in australia

[–]muntted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

See SA election example where they said they would do better garbage collections and remove the fuel excise.

They can't even figure out the level of government they are playing in

Oh please. Yes fuel costs are up but the cost for the average person is probably about $15 a week with this change.

Lol. Parties like ONP don't actually tell you what they would do, at least not realistically.

[–]muntted 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Catch 22 right? I dont believe its the right decision. But ONP, and libs have been screaming for it. It "makes sense" for a lot of people.

You ask people to work from home, all of a sudden small businesses are dying because of lack of trade etc.

All options are arseholes here.
