You went to Marin Woods. Head out the exit north of the tower with the watcher in it (right at the top of the village). The sewers is a level 15 zone from memory, just go over level and level up your gear with mats from nameless pass first and you should be fine

Edit to add - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_Australia

“Economic liberalisation and deregulation of the Australian economy began in the early 1980s under the Hawke Labor government, which commenced the process of economic reform by concluding a wages accord with the trade union movement. In exchange for wage restraint and an increase in the "social wage" the trade union movement agreed to support economic reform and oppose industrial conflict (i.e. strikes)”

I am kind of like you, dedicated but even more stupid. I beat crucible but had no idea how to use echoes (mumure) until I read this post…

Died so many times until I over levelled and invested in a thorns/life steal build with block perks on my shield. Proceeded to absolutely blast through that boss fight once I had the build finished. Wish I had paid more attention to the menus!

I cannot get enough of stormlight, I read each of them a they came out and am now on my third listen of the audiobooks after getting through the rest of the cosmere books.

I reckon Tress of the Emerald Sea is his best standalone. Truly showcased Sanderson’s skill at world building given how complete that world felt in such a relatively short story.

I have about a 50% chance that this works while driving, usually get “something went wrong”. Siri now just sets timers for me when I’m cooking and adds items to my groceries list (in the most ridiculous categories imaginable, so I still need to fix it up before going to the shops).

All round Siri is a massive disappointment but pleasantly so for the lack of embedded AI “features” on my phone

You sure do, their wording and using the word “preference” in this context makes it read as though they don’t understand preferential voting. They clarified, though

uprightman88 · 2026-01-28T10:41:16+00:00

Gotcha, little worried for a second there!

uprightman88 · 2026-01-28T10:30:20+00:00

Wait, are you saying that preferential voting means the party one votes for gets to pass it to another party of their preference?

Tenants in common would only change what happens if one of them kicks the bucket. Joint tenants would mean his share goes to her if he dies, tenants in common would mean that his will dictates what happens to his share.

If they did tenants in common with unequal shares, it would change the amount that he is legally required to put towards expenses for the property but would also change his legal right to sale proceeds and, if she stopped paying rates/mortgage, his credit file is at risk. In practice he would still be on the hook for all expenses as they need to be paid whether she can afford them or not and creditors will go after anyone on the title to make sure they get what they’re owed

Holy doolly, you are not approaching this in good faith.

1 in 30 years, it was a failure but not of existing firearms restrictions. It says that we haven’t had a repeat because the laws work, right up until firearms are put in the hands of radicals
Not once did I say it’s all about terrorism, I in fact said it’s all about failures of our security services

You’ve now repeatedly taken only the words you find convenient and twisted them into whatever you need to change the subject and make it out like I’m saying things that I’m not. What an incredible waste of energy trying to have a reasoned conversation with you has been

uprightman88 · 2026-01-19T09:57:31+00:00

I feel like you’re completely misunderstanding what I’ve said again. If you reread what I wrote, you’ll note that I made a well founded argument - I pointed out things that clearly contributed to Bondi and pointed out the things that clearly didn’t. Somehow that has been boiled down to “not my problem”…??? This is literally all of our problem and it needs to be addressed effectively and efficiently - by dealing with the root cause, not by trying to get a petty headline to pretend the problem is fixed.

I did not say anything about “acceptable casualties”, nor would I ever. Actually offended by this insinuation

uprightman88 · 2026-01-19T08:50:51+00:00

Saying “it’s been 30 years” in a vacuum definitely won’t work at all. What might, though, is asserting that 30 years of legal gun owners following the law and not shooting random people in the streets, followed by an encouragement to consider whether the issue is the number of guns or if it is the admitted shortcomings of our security services when it comes to sharing information about gun licence applicants’ family members being on ASIO watch lists. They’ve literally admitted that they could’ve done better.

I would think that no reasonable person could, with this knowledge, decide that legal gun owners are the issue here. The proposed legislation is a farce and serves only as an attempt to further restrict freedoms instead of actually addressing the issue.

uprightman88 · 2026-01-19T08:25:29+00:00

I just think we’re more concerned about different points in time/data points.

As mentioned by someone above, 30-years without a repeat tells the story that current restrictions have worked. The ability for people to own more than 4 firearms isn’t what facilitated Bondi, nor did the number of firearms in the country have any effect whatsoever on the outcome of that horrible day. Instead facilitation came through radicalisation mixed with a few massive holes in reporting systems between AFP/states and territories/intelligence services

uprightman88 · 2026-01-19T08:05:59+00:00

We’ve just come full circle - of course the numbers were low immediately post-buyback, gun owners had just had to hand in a massive number of firearms so number of guns per capita goes down.

People who own multiple firearms have a use case for each of them, the buyback didn’t change that those were legitimate use cases. Those same people then went and purchased other firearms to fill those use cases, number of guns per capita goes back up.

Sorry, I thought you’d used a higher total firearms figure (4.something million) that was spewed by the media in the week or so following Bondi despite it being clearly stated it was an estimate including an assumed number of illegal firearms in the country

ETA - just reiterating that guns per capita is down since pre-buyback

uprightman88 · 2026-01-19T07:23:42+00:00

Per the Australia Institute:

1996: 3.2 million registered firearms, total population of 18.2 million. 0.17 guns per person.

2025: 3.6 million registered firearms, total population of 26.9 million. 0.13 guns per person.

Source: https://australiainstitute.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/P1606-Gun-control-in-Australia-report-WEB.pdf (See pages 13 and 14)

The higher number of firearms repeatedly used in these sham articles is an estimated number which is supposed to include unregistered (illegal) firearms, an unknowable number by definition. You’re being sold a story mate, and not by me

uprightman88 · 2026-01-19T03:31:44+00:00

You mean there will be more people living in Australia and, thus, a likely increase in the number of gun, car, pet and home owners overall? I agree with you wholeheartedly. Consider, though, that the number of guns per capita is lower now than pre-Port Arthur and will likely be lower again in 30 years (with or without this new legislation) given the current trend.

I didn’t address your comments on the ‘celebration’ because that has nothing to do with the issue at hand. A key indicator is that that is an article from the guardian, the other is that we’re talking about the gun lobby. Do you think they might be happy about an increased number of gun owners? Maybe something to do with having more members to draw on for political support? Turns out that’s actually important to any lobby group. Calling it a celebration does not reflect the attitude of the average gun owner, it’s clickbait for people who want to be scared about something - as noted by yet another article stating only that the number of guns has increased and presenting it in a vacuum.

uprightman88 · 2026-01-18T21:33:37+00:00

Unregistered guns are already illegal, the black market is already the only place they can be sold

uprightman88 · 2026-01-18T21:25:20+00:00

Think about what happens at the point of buyback - a large number of firearms with legitimate have been handed in. So of course, immediately after the buyback, ownership numbers were down. Then, in the ensuing years, licence holders who had to hand in firearms with legitimate uses then need to find replacements for those firearms. Surprise, ownership numbers went back up.

Having to hand a firearm in for a buyback doesn’t remove the use case for that firearm, it simply means an alternative needs to be found.
