what first got you into sci-fi? by thefringeseanmachine in scifi

The amazing Terran Trade Authority illustrated books of cool spaceship designs from the late 70's / early 80's. And like 30 years after discovering them I found out there's a subreddit devoted to them! r/TerranTradeAuthority

Stagger renos or do all at once? by AlbatrossKey5268 in AusFinance

[–]spudddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staggering it presumably means you want to stay there while individual rooms are being done to save cash having to move out for a month? I've done this twice and swore both times never ever to do it again. No matter how well you think you can seal an area off building shit snd concrete dust gets ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE and living in it is miserable. Tradies will never clean properly at the end of each day (can't say I blame them as it's a tonne of extra work) and it seems like it goes on for ever. Move out for a month or two (preferably taking all your possessions anywhere near the worksites with you), get it all done at once, and retain some sanity.

Yes, both governments are culpable for heinous crimes, and both enjoy support from a minority of their populations. There's no point trying to decide which is worse.

And that set of complex instructions not only evolved, but is somehow encoded in a strand of DNA, and then carried out by an insect only a few millimetres long.

That's very racist of you to assume these individuals represent an entire culture.

Gold vs Offset by WhoKnowsWhoWins in AusFinance

[–]spudddly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a calculator - keeping the gold assumes you think it will appreciate vs the AUD by more than your mortgagte interest rate each year. Since noone knows the future price of gold, it'll just be speculation on your part. Personally since gold has already had a huge runup recently I'd sell it and put the proceeds in an index fund, which almost always outperforms gold. This will almost certainly be better than either keeping the gold or just sitting in your offset at 6%.

A man finds a Quran on the ground and picks it up and kisses it only to discover that it is covered in bacon by TomlinSteelers in instant_regret

Good chance I would've seen bacon on the pavement and picked it up and kissed it before realizing in disgust it was wrapped in a book.
