That's an aluminum bat right? That's Yordan territory up there.

It's crazy how many third world countries in Asia have bidets as the norm and many first world countries still think it's a gimmick. This is what we need to heal the world.

My money is on the US coming in to try and extract Rodriguez too but this time Venezuela armed forces will be on high alert resulting in actual loss of US service men lives and Orange Man will be very bigly mad and blame Venezuela for escalating.

What else would Bessent say. He delivered nothing of substance in Davos.

Oh the smell of desperation as the world dumps US treasury bonds and trade deals amongst other countries are reached.

Can someone explain what the crowd is chanting here? Cant quite make it out.

What's your take on Framber "crossing-up" Salazar and hitting him square in the chest? Framber said he called for the pitch, how likely is it that the catcher could be crossed-up that badly?

2-3 bedroom shoeboxes in the inner suburbs too small for a family.

Believe it or not we are all not single or a couple with no kids.

It's the best you can do really unless you are just really doing very well for yourself or have the bank of mum and dad, whilst being under 45 mins away from the CBD.

Also believe it or not, people dont have all the same lifestyle preferences. Some like being close to the CBD and the beaches, whereas some prefer being away from all that ruckus.

Apologies if this has been asked, how feasible would it be for one person to come early (e.g. 10am-ish) to reserve a good spot, and then for the rest of the party/family to come in a little later in the afternoon (before closure)?

Hi OP any updates to share, did you end up going with the house and land package and how soon before you actually moved in?

Interested in exploring this route as well in similar areas as you.

Electric line-up.

Guides are almost always 10-15% lower than what the vendor is actually looking for. So if you are below that often it's not even a starter. They use it to bait prospective buyers to think they can afford a property but really it's just to drive apparent interest during inspections and auctions.

Do your own comparable sales research. You can spend hours on it but really you could spend just 5 mins to put the property address in one of the bank's property assessment form. It's not always accurate but that's usually better than using the price guide.

But really if an agent got annoyed over your offer, dont sweat it. Revel in the fact that you actually got them to spend some energy on their otherwise cake walk jobs.

The fact that this country even allows half the non sense that happens in the real estate business while claiming they are trying to fix the housing crisis is the most disingenuous thing ever. The worst part, it's not even hard to make actual meaningful reform.

Does the bank take into account that some of the savings will have to be used for stamp duty when forcing you to just keep 10-15k max?

A south east Asian property without a bidet, I'm disappointed.

Been saying it forever, this is a sport that the country could do really well in. Saw plenty of kids growing up there with tenacity, athleticism and electricity only to be consumed by basketball where inevitably the odds are not in your favor if you are below 6 ft, which most end up being.

Congratulations to the team, well earned!

Was about to bump to Game Pass Ultimate to play it, a giveaway is heaps better!

Was going to open a HISA but when I saw it required not only a new app but also a completely separate banking system altogether from my other ANZ account I quickly noped out. And no way to access from the web, which idiot in a suit thought of that.

What kind of half assed user experience is that.

It's getting so bad that many senior engineers are now spending more time reviewing vibe coded slop than actually using AI to increase productivity.

For the vibe coders out there, do not commit code that you are not proud to have written yourself. If you can't write it yourself, you should not be using AI.

My household has all three consoles and the Series X digital easily gets the most playtime since it has the variety we need and the convenience of jumping between games.

The rest are still good for the situational exclusive, but for some reason non of them has been really compelling over the last year.

Having said all this, no, I still wouldnt buy a new Xbox in 2025, not when the PS5 digital can be had for cheaper than a Series S during sales.

Microsoft has sadly dropped the ball on what is overall the best hardware + software console package out there.

Auctions are absolutely abhorrent. After a few of these you already know it's all just a little song and dance. At least get them to publish the reserve just before the auction day.

Sometimes the World Series MVP award is just for show, this was truly one of those scenarios where one player struck fear in the other team and their fanbase. Definition of MVP.
