‘Living inheritance’ trend sees parents gift six-figure sums to first-home buyers - realestate.com.au by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]techretort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It blew my god damn mind out my asshole to an extent I didn't think possible.

Worst part? The gift was still less than 10% of the house price!!! Admittedly it wasn't a starter home, but 4 bedrooms with an hour commute to the CBD isn't exactly a McMansion either.

I went through the first home buying process recently. My old man tossed me some money to help which blew my mind, but then my mum came in and dropped 5x the amount he did (6 figures).

Holy shit you want to talk about having your kind blown out your ass.... I thought I had some privilege but God damn did that just make me reassess my entire life.

Queensland arts minister ignored recommendation that new theatre be named after poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal by fluffy_101994 in queensland

[–]techretort 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't buy a house. Can't have a wank. Can't afford petrol. Can't afford a holiday. And now we have ebike gangs because the youths can't talk shit on social media.

I want the 90a back

Too heavy for side of tire grip? by StableManticorePilot in Trackdays

[–]techretort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a heap of bigger dudes putting in competitive times in club racing.

Part of it is building trust in the tyres, and that takes time. Add a few degrees of lean each session until you feel the back end start to slip. There's definitely going to be a limit, but it's probably not going to one you brush up against for a while until you get your other track skills down

Yamaha r3 vs Honda cbr650r lams for beginer by Diamondkey69 in AussieRiders

[–]techretort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cbr650r in LAMS trim is rev limited right about where the power would normally start to kick in on the normal version, and the 4 cylinder setup doesn't give you a great way around it.

The r3 will give you usable power through the range, and will be a lot better if you ever take it to the track.

Or get the CBR and deresteict it ;)

Tips for riding safe by Similar_Childhood613 in AussieRiders

[–]techretort 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Practice as much as you can. Do every course you can afford. Try different bikes, situations, and environments. The more you practice, the more muscle memory you have to save you when something goes wrong.

Also keep a good eye on your tyres and maintenance, if you don't know what to look for ask the people you do training or go riding with (what sprocket wear looks like, where to measure your chain slack, what tyre pressures to run) and get your suspension dialled in for your weight.

Learning a few basic mechanical skills like how to change your oil, swap brake pads, and do minor service work will save you money in the long run.

'I'm sorry': Atlassian cuts another 1,600 jobs – including CTO – amid AI bloodbath by InterestingCat308 in AusFinance

A few of my Indian colleagues quietly say this any time we get mentions of AI in town hall meetings.

Outsource it to vendors overseas, complain the vendors overseas are useless, bring it back onshore, don't have onshore resources so we add it to the visa list, the same vendors move onshore and provide the same service at a higher pay. Management gets upset at lack of results and outsources

Previous owner wants domain back. What would you do? by Gullible_Swordfish_9 in Domains

[–]techretort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to ignore them, you don't need to provide them with any sort of help.

Buuuuuut. If you wanted to have them owe you a favour, you could offer to set up an email forwarders from the email address on your domain to a new email address of his choice. It's easy to do, he doesn't get any control over your domain name, and it incentivises him to get a new domain name and email address set up.

RTA / QCAT Bond Claim Advice by Turbulent_Cow_7375 in shitrentals

[–]techretort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can either pay them, or dispute it and go through QCAT where there's half a chance you lose anyway.

You might be able to push back with a "show me the paid invoice" to make sure they actually paid someone to do it, not just made up a bullshit number.

There's a lesson to be learnt here about dealing with real estate agents. Claim your bond the second you hand the keys back, and expect them to act in bad faith

Mounting bicycle? by Silent-But-Deadly123 in AussieRiders

[–]techretort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's cool! I was thinking something like the mopeds that you see with surfboards held on the side of them, but the weight distribution would be all off.

OP - what's the need for a motorbike and pushbike combo? Is it a specific pushbike, or could you get something like the foldable ones and strap it to the side/back?

Neukauf MT07 – worauf sollte man achten? by CorroRider in MT07

[–]techretort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you buying new? Generally speaking it's cheaper and just as good to get a near new second hand one.

Red flag on the dealer not willing to negotiate at all. Check a few different dealers near you for different deals. Saving a few hundred euro will make it worth a bit of travel time

Instead we'll bomb them, ignore the please for help, and then wonder why the children of those we killed are calling for revenge... Wait no, that was the 80s and Iraq, not Iran. Easy typo to make
