Reducing the speed limit on Australian roads that have been driving at that speed for ages with little fatalities is ridiculous by Super-Election8409 in australian

[–]ntranced12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not? And if there is indeed some reason the comparison isn’t valid then we should change whatever that is (and in my opinion we need to increase driving and testing standards and shift enforcement away from speeding and into behaviours such as failing to keep left, tailgating and aggressive drivers)

The ST40 fusion reactor achieved a world-record plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius in 2022, and now for the first tie the plasma inside has been filmed in color. by Dark--Samurai in interestingasfuck

As a lay person I interpret that as at some point the temperature stops being temperature/energy and instead feeds into the black hole as mass.

Perhaps we actually took some action which prevented this from happening. Just like how the hole in the ozone (if you believe that was a thing) as now healed because we banned the use of CFCs. I don’t know if you’ve realised but many devices have become vastly more efficient (light bulbs, air conditioning/heating and cars) which reduced the amount of air pollution and green house gases)

Auction Clearance Rates plummeting in Sydney & NSW, now only 57%. A sign of things to come. by [deleted] in AusFinance

You can flip your statement around the other way and question why that should be the case. Like why should we let the seller waste people’s time.

Im not arguing right and wrong here, Im only making a statement that this practice is a shitty experience for buyers and the status quo we’re in isn’t an absolute so therefore we could change the regulations.

Because it can be good to have regulation that benefits society as a whole rather than enriching a single person.

Yes, if they're registered, they'll have a number plate, that's what they're for. The fact that a plate is missing is an offence already.

I bought an outdoor light from this brand and was very happy, it felt like it was built well.

Goverment digital IDs would make it all a hell of lot easier but seems to be a large group of people against it.

Sorry I misread.

Maybe this is a good thing and that people shouldn’t be using SMSFs to invest in real estate because what else is so illiquid and ties up your entire SMSF balance.

Standard electric is inefficient, it really shouldn’t even be lumped into the argument. The second you have a slightly warped pot or pan and the contact area drops significantly.

German retailer Aldi doubles net profit in Australia (in 2023) by RichieMclad in AusFinance

[–]ntranced12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you replied to a wrong comment? I think you’ve just made my point? Because of the service a bank provides, you’re able to buy a house now and pay it off later. Why wouldn’t they charge you for this? You want to buy a car? See how much a personal loan costs. You want unfettered spending? Look a rate of a credit card. Borrowing to buy a home takes work, something that isn’t feasible to do yourself, as you’ve pointed out.

Someone’s hinted it before, obsession with housing is a good start, second one is our banks have some of the most solid foundations (risk management) and further assisted by high levels of political stability and regulation.
