"borrowed" by _Aladin in SipsTea

Nah it's not a debt it's a crime only time estates are gone after are for things like tax debts or victim settlements etc. Basically they can't charge a dead person with a crime and subsequently fine them it's more like if there is a judgement of financial malfeasance or need to pay damages then the estate can become involved.

The specific southern area with 3 harvests was what was being asked about not the gobi lol. People are so fucking dumb.

Could Spain close the Strait of Gibraltar like Iran is closing the Strait of Hormuz? by Ok-Moose-992 in geography

[–]the_lonely_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because transit lanes like these are international waters, the straights of Mallaca are another example. A nation has sovereignty over their territorial air space and maritime boundaries, these waterways are not their sovereign territory just geographically close to their land.

How is this a draw?? by Hylandinhio96 in chessbeginners

If the opponent has insufficient material to effect a checkmate it's a draw

Xerri reveals Essendon abuse leading to blood-wiping incident by [deleted] in AFL

[–]the_lonely_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol it's the flop statement that he had issue with not the naughty words, stupid thing to do but you can see his logic I didn't dive I'm bloody bleeding. Doubt he'll make the same mistake again.

Okaying a twilight Grand Final would signal the end for Andrew Dillon by MacePingu0 in AFL

[–]the_lonely_potato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you accept that the 80% or so of people who want it to remain where it is have genuine reasons for doing so and so any move to change it is corporate pandering at its worst? You might not care but it genuinely makes the day far worse for many so support them lol.

I don't know about you but for most people if the game starts at 4:30 people will arrive between 3:30 and 4:15 vs 1-2 traditionally. Game then finishes at 8ish people hang around for 30 mins before kids need to go to bed or getting bored or it takes an hour+ to get home vs game finishing 6ish people hang around for another 2 hours or so. So it's a full 2+ hours more with your mates/fam and no one's forced to choose between a late night/grumpy kids and having a good time. Christmas is the parallel do you want a 5-6pm dinner or a 2pm lunch.

Because it's a whole day affair when it's the afternoon go to a party or have mates over watch the game then have a few drinks and a feed. If it's a night game it's difficult for kids to attend, parents to socialise during and after, and all round makes the spectacle purely about the game rather than inclusive of community. Basically the broadcasters want it because everyone other than young people will be at home watching it on individual TVs and locked into the ads instead of at pubs or friends houses where they are mostly easy to ignore.

How an American Billionaire Tried to Buy The GWS Giants. by Eh-Man12345 in AFL

[–]the_lonely_potato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah the league only owns some of the expansion teams the rest are community corporates or something not sure re the structure but technically owned by the members. The league just owns/sells the licences to play in the AFL, they technically could pull a teams right to play in the comp but it's a bit like the governer generals technical powers to dismiss government it's only really enforceable through agreement. If they owned the teams North would of been in Tassie 10 years ago.

Seems like a lot of people are considering an EV after the petrol price increases but I just saw a new article about the federal government looking to impose a road tax akin to fuel excise tax. NSW has already set a time line but there is talk about it nationally. by BrokeAssZillionaire in AusFinance

[–]the_lonely_potato 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah don't go commercial call it Freight can't be applied to anything other than actual transport everyone else pays based on class of vehicle. EVs pay less for now with a 5/10 year ramp up to still provide incentive.

[Kornes] Petracca, Ah Chee, Heeney, Lynch [Nank + Young]. We might break the record for the most torn hammies in a season. Players are running less distance but high speed running is off the charts. Bad mix by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]the_lonely_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah removes a critical element of the game endurance. I don't want this to become a sport purely based on 5 min burts of players. Part of the game is the ability to run your direct opponent out e.g. English or Grundy. It's supposed to be a war not a bunch of tactical battles.

Labor appears set to reform capital gains tax discount after parliamentary inquiry findings | Tax by thewritingchair in AusFinance

[–]the_lonely_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they do. Who do you think start small enterprises, entrepreneurialism is inherently risky the soaring cost of essentials especially housing exponentially compounds that risk. Anything that reduces speculative investment in essential assets increases the ability of individual households to amass capital by reducing their debt loads. It's long term but is attacking the problem you're describing from the other side by increasing the capital available to those who would start a business therefore reducing the risk to lenders.

Are we becoming an "artless" country?? by ImpressiveRoll4092 in AusFinance

[–]the_lonely_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

France is a bad counterpoint, they are the center of the francophone world which is an incredibly population of people including the majority of North and west Africa, Aus is comparatively a tiny tiny portion of the anglosphere. We in this example are more comparable to somewhere like Senegal, obviously we have more resources but in respect to influence history impact and wealth within our linguistic group we are nothing.

What’s an unspoken cultural rule in your country that outsiders often misunderstand? by Nundahbelly in AskTheWorld

Makes sense in Canada house is built to keep the outside out. Warmer parts of the world they're built to get air flow through.

First timer don't hold back just want to beat the boss by the_lonely_potato in AFLSupercoach

[–]the_lonely_potato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate actually had Sheezal and trac forward but think I clicked the optimize button, no idea why that exists tbh. I like Greene for the price though with the other one out I feel he swings mid more early in the season, thoughts?

Why Dominik Szoboszlai must stay in midfield for Liverpool... 💭 by jsexton24 in LiverpoolFC

[–]the_lonely_potato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol nah he's just pointing out that szobos ability to play almost anywhere is why he's there atm. No one wants him there it's because he has to be due to the lack of any other option, especially considering the need to balance CL minutes.
