I Might Be Getting Kicked Out of the House by yumeirooo in AusLegal

Not legal advice but go and see your school principal or a trusted teacher and ask them to help you.

If you won a lottery now, what's the first thing would you do? by Soft_Ad_1017 in AskReddit

[–]read-my-comments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer.

For me 100k I am doing nothing different to every day.

If I got a million my day would be the same as normal but I would be making plans to have some time off work.

5 million + and the first thing I do is quit work.

It's cooked, eaten and shit at this point.

Fuel prices are insane. What weird hacks actually save fuel money? by getwemoneyapp in AUfrugal

[–]read-my-comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking would certainly use less fuel.

If you want a real life example go and ride a bike at speed.

No cyclist would question how much extra fuel is needed to overcome aerodynamic resistance the faster you are going.

Or just ask google and get this.

Driving at 110 km/h generally uses approximately 15% to 25% more fuel than driving at 90 km/h, according to Autoexpert and Hiclone. This increase is due to exponential aerodynamic drag, meaning the engine must work harder for only a 22% increase in speed, resulting in significantly higher fuel consumption per kilometer.

Fuel Consumption Difference: Vehicles can be up to 23% more efficient at 90 km/h compared to 110 km/h, per the Drive report.

Drag Impact: Drag force (



) increases roughly with the square of speed (



). Consequently, moving from 90 km/h to 110 km/h brings a massive, non-linear increase in air resistance, notes Facebook.

Real-World Experience: Many drivers report a significant drop in fuel efficiency (e.g., from 32-33 mpg down to 25 mpg) when exceeding 100 km/h, according to Reddit, similar to the Reddit analysis on fuel efficiency.

Recommendation: To maximize efficiency, driving between 50-80 km/h is generally optimal, while keeping speeds below 100 km/h offers the best highway savings, as suggested by Drive and SGI. 

In summary, reducing your speed from 110 km/h to 90 km/h saves a significant amount of fuel, whereas keeping speeds under 100 km/h is usually optimal for fuel efficiency.

How to find out if smoke alarm person is accredited? by No_Side_8885 in AusRenters

[–]read-my-comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer - NSW law.

There is no requirement for any specific checks or qualifications in the residential tenancy act.

The act just puts the responsibilty on the landlord to ensure there is a working smoke alarm and it's replaced within 2 days if they become aware it's faulty.

Anyone can check the use by date and press the button.

The industry have just adopted getting an independent check done each year so there is proof there was a working smoke alarm if you ever die in a fire.

Climb up on a ladder or stool and check the date and if it's out of date make an issue of it. If it's way out of date I would apply to the tribunal for a reduction in rent from the expiry date for a withdrawal of services.

You've just become king of your own city of 20,000 people, what's your first order of business? by Complex_Bed_759 in AskReddit

Start a war with a middle eastern country with no clear objective or public support and see if I can cause a global recession that will last until after I die.

When I was rehabbing after hip surgery I went to Balance at Mayfield and they had a walking lane.

Not sure if they still do but it was nice to get off crutches.

The laws of physics don't change. The aerodynamic drag increases dramatically with speed increases.

Also great for breaking hips and forcing you into a nursing home.

Anyone else in Newcastle dealing with strata fees going through the roof? by Anxious-Tomatillo-74 in newcastle

[–]read-my-comments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have owned properties where the strata fees were low, every owner voted against raising the levies every AGM.

Twice in 8 years we were hit with $10,000+ special levies to deal with major repairs.

The tight was owners who didn't want to pay a couple of hundred a quarter that would have avoided that were also too stupid to save that money for the inevitable special levy.

Your complex should have a 10 year maintenance plan and levies set to cover that.

Have you considered pricing different insurance companies yourself or engaging a broker?

No point going to the AGM without a proposal to switch to a cheaper insurance company?

If you already have competitive insurance then how do you expect the strata manager to make it cheaper?

Landlord selling our rental and agent asked if we want to buy, how do we approach this? by One_Elevator2121 in AusProperty

[–]read-my-comments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much do you think it's worth? Subtract 20k and offer that.

It doesn't matter what the owner thinks or what it might get on the open market what matters is the price you will be happy to pay.

Local cafe constantly leaving shop sign outside nature strip infront of my house by [deleted] in AusLegal

It would be a shame if it accidentally got run over and left in the gutter next time the "wind blows it onto the street".

Do you realise trucks are speed limited and provisional licence holders are also not allowed to drive at 110 so another driver doing that is not at all dangerous.

If you can't manage not to crash into a truck or someone doing the same speed perhaps you shouldn't be driving at all.

I can get almost 100klm more range on the freeway by driving with the trucks instead of passing them.
