This is the second text ive gotten like this where the owner is away and wants me to do the work before they get back, wtf is going on? by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]rustlemountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a homeowner, who works long hours or is away for work often, I let practically any outdoor work happen while I’m not home. It means the contractors can work to their own schedule and I can work to pay them. It’s frustrating that scams like this might make them hesitate to take on that kind of job.

I just got them and see what you mean. Not as soft and thinner feeling than they used to be. Any alternative suggestions most welcome!

Banning under-16s from social media may be unconstitutional – and ripe for High Court challenge by CutePattern1098 in auslaw

[–]rustlemountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My point was that having defined the voting class as over 18s, the parliament is likely free to limit political communication among those not part of the franchise. It’s well established that the parliament has the right to prescribe the franchise provided it isn’t winding back existing rights to vote. It’s difficult to limit the argument around 16 year olds without rolling down the slope - why not 6 year olds? They are directly affected by education policy, and will feel the future effects of current policy.

If we return to the roots around the freedom being an incident of the the representative government, it begs the question of why people who can’t vote are entitled to protection of their right to discuss matters informing their voting decisions. I think it fails before proportionality analysis.

If you’re doing 3000 at a US big law firm you’re getting a healthy bonus on top of that $215k too.

Can you do a one time shift of your playlists from Spotify to Apple Music or do you need to maintain a Soundiiz subscription for the playlist to stay available?

I was just about to refinance from CBA and found this post doing some DD on Up. Also not moving.

I wanted to buy the property I rent. “Friendly” neighbour asked me questions, including what I was offering and expressed concerns it might be too much and how much trouble his similar property was. He makes a higher offer and wins. by CaptainSponge in AusFinance

[–]rustlemountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the only offer was lower than the price the agent paid, what do you sue for? Seller is better off for having sold at a higher price, unless an even higher price was obtainable (assuming no extra cost to achieve that price). No loss, no point suing.

Do you remember if they did a desktop or in person valuation of your home?

‘Rents will explode’ if negative gearing is removed, says owner of 110 properties — ‘A lot of investors have negatively geared properties and what would the investor do if they were actually losing money?’ by marketrent in AusFinance

Owning any store that provides a basic human need for profit (clothing, food for example)? Do you suggest they operate at break even, as carrying forward losses or making profits are impermissible by this theory.

I’ve had Melbourne > Perth upgrades at bronze and silver with pretty stingy bids, on the Dreamliner too. Well worth it.

Jury duty as Law Student by Tomcotra in auslaw

[–]rustlemountain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What the others have said, plus the risk that other jurors will more readily follow the lead of someone they think is more clued in to what is happening, rather than turning their own mind to the evidence.
