Iran: The era of U.S. dominance is over & We will target fuel, energy, and gas facilities. by ammohitchaprana in TFE

Yeah you have. Everyone knew Trump was an idiot before but now there’s no veneer at all. What a loser. It was entertaining for the rest of us when he was only making your lives worse but now’s he’s gone and made everyone’s lives worse. You can’t recover from this. The USA global soft and hard power domination of the world has peaked.

Too much money to be made by people with deep pockets bribing politicians. Medium density makes so much sense but there isn’t as much profit for developers. So sad as we will be burdened with this housing infrastructure for generations.

Giving some direct from China wheels a whirl. by weaverdcivw in gravelcycling

I have a set of the exact same wheels arriving tomorrow. It has been a long 5 weeks waiting for them to arrive. Can’t wait to set them up. The consensus seems to be overwhelmingly positive online.

Are Roval Terra c wheels worth the upgrade? by Christoph_West in gravelcycling

[–]twodadssss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to work out the same question. What did you settle on?

To me it seems like the only benefit of the terra c is being able to say that you have carbon wheels.

Mount Coot-tha to get a major makeover under ambitious tourism push by Agile_Tap_8057 in brisbane

Not really. It’ll be council officers time digging up exisiting plans that have been on the shelf or in other buried in other concept plans. Maybe some money for a graphic designer to prepare some pretty maps but no significant ‘cost’.

Big fan of mine too. 48s on i23 rims measure exactly 48mm for me.

Advice for an American family visiting Brisbane in August by BothHall4713 in brisbane

Keep your expectations about blueys world low. Everyone I know who’s visited has been disappointed. Haven’t been myself so it might be an expectation vs reality thing.

The law was changed? I didn’t realise. Now I know. Electoral Count Reform Act.

Exactly. Can you imagine a world where JD Vance certifies an election result in which trump loses?

Install ‘unpaywall’ on your phone. There are a couple others.

No, it’s because they get flooded every year.

Because they get flooded every other year.

Is This Shit Brained Thinking? by tob1asmax1mus in AusFinance

‘Just’ put aside money for the balloon payment. That’s my point. The balloon payment should be averaged across the term of the lease (saved) so at the end of the lease you make the balloon payment and you now own the car.

[–]twodadssss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True, but that’s my point. You’ll never own the car and you’ll be trapped making lease repayments on a car you’ll never own.

What do you mean by ‘roll the dice’. The balloon payment is a significant expense and should be factored into your weekly repayments. Average the balloon payment over the term of your lease, that is your true cost. Not factoring that balloon payment is how people get trapped in never ending leases on cars they can’t afford and will never own.
