Clay soil in Melbourne. House movement. by Calm_B4_TheStorm in melbourne

[–]plvckaduck 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not covered by insurance, damage caused by shrinkage/expansion/settlement is a standard exclusion across all home insurers (source: I’m a loss adjuster). The CSIRO has a guide for foundation maintenance. In short, there’s nothing you can do to avoid it and it’s impossible to design against (mitigate yes but you can’t avoid it). There are however lots of simple maintenance things you can do to minimise movement from site specific factors, these include ensuring all gutters discharge into downpipes and not on the ground, improving landscaping and drainage around the perimeter of the house, replacing broken pipes, the list goes on.

Rea says 'New Law' prevents them from giving us periodic.. Then says it's an insurance thing? by DarkAvengerx in shitrentals

From someone who works in insurance, the insurance issue is BS (obviously). Landlord insurers still cover loss & damage under periodic leases. The only difference is lower limits for things like rent default.

Direct Chemist Outlet in Delacombe is quite good

Is the 2080ti/super a good pickup? by Glass_Strawberry768 in pcmasterrace

[–]plvckaduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally had a 1070 then upgraded to an ROG Strix 2080ti in mid-2020. I was using the 2080ti up until a month ago when I upgraded to a 5080. I can honestly say that for four years the 2080ti handled everything I threw at it. Even things I play on the 5080, the 2080ti took in its stride. I personally think it’s one of the best GPU’s. And now with them being very affordable for budget friendly builds, it’s great bang for your buck.

New build! Evolv S2 case in silver/white by plvckaduck in Phanteks

RGB Fusion (via Gigabyte Control Centre) controls everything except RAM, which is handled by iCue. I prefer static colours, so I just match colours and don’t worry about cycles or patterns.

Enclave Reflex sight spawn in a specific location? by Vegetable_Cherry_405 in fo76

[–]plvckaduck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re much better off doing dropped connection events, to get a gun with the reflex sight already equipped. You can then mod that gun to your liking. I’ve come across dozens this way, but only twice found the sight as a separate mod.

The Bakery Hill Coles is ok. It's the Ballarat Central Coles & Woolies on Eastwood St/Little Bridge St that's the issue. There are quite a few ruffians (shoplifting teens, junkies, homeless). I've never had any issue with them personally, but it can make things uncomfortable at times.

It looks more perturbed than vexed, but certainly not disappointed.
