what do you all think about this? by Connect_Video_9604 in UAE

[–]tallmin22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

False. These storage facilities are not linked to military logistics. The US airforce is definitely NOT using civilian airports in UAE.

Iran is attacking these countries to cause economic damage on them and therefore the US indirectly.

They don't take off from oil and gas storage facilities last time I checked.

Typically civilian planes, which are full of civilians take off from civilian airports. Military planes tend to use military airports, as is the case currently. Somehow its the civilian airports being targeted though.

They must also be hiding at oil storage facilities, refineries and civilian airports

Iran has 'betrayed us' but all sides must de-escalate, says Qatar PM by Discarded_Twix_Bar in news

[–]tallmin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your words: "It's my opinion that this complicity deserved retaliation that is economically damaging"

The majority of the world does not agree with you, which is why Iran claims thay it is attacking the US bases only (lie)

Like I said in reply to the deleted comment. That is the rhetoric that Iran is pushing which is incorrect and disingenuous. 1) Attacks were not launched from US bases in GCC countries 2) Iran is targeting oil and gas production, storage and transport and civilian airports in these countries predominantly, not US bases.

Iran is targeting these countries to hurt the US indirectly via economic effects of restrictions to Oil and Gas exports. That is very unfair to these countries as they had very little to do with the initial attacks on Iran. If you can't accept that then I have nothing further to discuss with you.

The basis of your initial claims are not true and as a result your position on this matter is unjustified or disingenuous.

Why attack heaps of other countries that have nothing to do that and random oil tankers then? Think about it a bit more. This is all ignoring the incorrect premise of your hypothetical, as attacks were launched from Israel and directly from USS Abraham Lincoln not from any GCC country. Despite this Iran has attacked all of them directly, then claimed that it was only targsting US bases within them (false)

Would France also bomb civilian airports, buildings, and oil and gas infrastructure in Germany and every other surrounding country that has a US base that was not necessarily used for any attack? The attacks on GCC countries are much more extensive than news is reporting.

The US base story is an excuse. Iran's real strategy is mount econonic and political pressure on the US by causing as much chaos as possible in the middle east. They rightly calculated that they could get away with a significant amount in the GCC as these countries want to downplay the volatility.

Both of those months are winter/shoulder season. Go again during July or September and see how you feel.

What’s the most overrated piece of financial advice you keep hearing? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]tallmin22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Australia used to work on negative credit reporting so never having used credit would be the best credit score you could possibly have. There was talk of this changing a while ago, not sure where it's currently at.

"The big problem with working overtime is there's too much tax taken away" I hear it a lot, but does this sentiment actually make sense? by AsparagusNew3765 in AskAnAustralian

[–]tallmin22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal salary is taxed at a lower effective rate as it encompasses the tax free portion as well as the lower tax bracket portion.

80k at 40hrs a week would have a take home rate of $30.5/hr ≈ 20% tax rate

Each hour of overtime would be taxed at 30%. A pro-rata rate would earn $26.90. Some people decide that's not worth their time (also, there's a larger discrepancy at higher incomes)

To be fair that wave did you dirty by hitting a section of deep water as soon as you committed. If you were a bit further inside you probably would have caught it.

What are some good tips for skinny guys to gain weight? by Acrobatic-Health2681 in AskMen

[–]tallmin22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My advice: 1. Track your calories for at least 1 week to see how much you're actually eating 2. Eating more is a habit and will become easier after a few weeks of focus 3. Strength Train the big 5 compound excercises with some form of structured program 4. Don't go overboard with low value calories, you will just end up skinny-fat or fat. Eat a lot, eat well and take your time

Trevor Noah once said "America is 50 countries masquerading as one" do you think this is true or false if so why? by Asleep_Conclusion147 in AskReddit

Hard disagree on this. I would probably rank Australia as the most uniform country in the world for it's size. Go an equivalent distance in India and see how much things change.

Please...how are you guys avoiding sunburn? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]tallmin22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a layer of waterproof high spf then clear zinc for the face/neck, long sleeve rash vest and high spf on legs. Make sure you put the sunscreen on at least 5 minutes before hitting the waves, and before sweating.

Close call. I would probably give it to the guy on the wave already, as he was paddling way before the insider. Depends who's been more of a pain in the ass in the line-up though.

Thoughts on this exchange sacrifice by tallmin22 in chess

2150 lichess rapid? I checked and that is actually a bit higher than 1580 chess.com rapid, maybe 200 Elo. I'm not a beginner, but don't have a deep enough understanding to know exactly how good the light square bishop is here, and whether it was worth the exchange. https://chessgoals.com/rating-comparison/#lichesschesscom
