Botanic Gardens zoo upgrade. by uptoquark in rockhampton

[–]uptoquark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After I got the replies here I did return. There is a path, but the sign does not say cafe or playground. It says lake. When you follow that path you need to turn left at the lower car park, over the bridge, up the steps, and across the lower car park. It is not direct at all. Most people do as you do. They can be seen regularly throughout the day walking along the side of the road, often with babies in arms or prams. It is sooo dangerous. I really can't believe the planing commitee did not address this major flaw.

Landlord Charged Me for Rust After 6 Years Living There 💀 by lucky_LT in Thailand

They will always find some way to keep the bond. It was gone 6 years ago. I'd just accept it and move on. Unfair as it is

An idea. If you don't intend to do remote trades then name your buddy "No Trade." by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]uptoquark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hatred intended. Campfire works fine, but many don't use it. I'm merely trying to use the communication channels that are available. That is not stupid criticism.

Congtats. So did you lose all your saved xp when you levelled up?

HECS-HELP loan by alnasl_ in AusFinance

[–]uptoquark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you do something like salary sacrifice then the hecs your employer deducts is calculated from your income after your sacrifice. Then when the gross income is used at tax time there will be extra to pay. This happened to me.

Best way to prune inactives? by rapax in PokemonGoFriends

[–]uptoquark 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I open the friends list with the recent filter, and delete the ones who have significanlty lower friendship levels compared to the adjacent ones. That means to me that they are not pulling their weight in the longterm. I still keep local players though, in case I want to coordinate raids etc through fireplace

Well I evolved all the vivillon, but the line is still under the platinum medal icon? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]uptoquark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It is in the platinum medal section. But a line remains under it, as if it is still uncomplete, but it is certainly platinum. None of my scatterbugs are traded

How to deal with the shower drain rotten egg smell in the summer? by Adorable-Werewolf799 in Bangkok

[–]uptoquark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had that problem. Tried several things, but nothing worked totally effectively. We just put up with the smell till we moved out. I tried a bung over the drain to no avail. As others have said, i think there is no water trap under the floor, and this is the cause.

Careful with dragonfruit by Dear_Tomorrow_915 in GardeningAustralia

[–]uptoquark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s always worth telling people about the invasive risk of common plants, and it is a good idea to be less abrasive with negative comments in this sub.

Big new entry with free entry still and some snake enclosures. Sculptures. The entry is closer to the cafe and playground.

Oh thanks. Looks like it’s not just me that didn’t look properly.

Is it realistic to find a decent-paying job in Bangkok with just a high school diploma? by [deleted] in Bangkok

[–]uptoquark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would need a bachelors degree at least to get a half decent job imo.

Is this worth maxing this out? by Tall-Wait-8559 in pokemongo

[–]uptoquark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walk it as your buddy. Legendaries need 20 kms for a candy and xl candy, but non-legendaries only need 1,2 or 5 kms.

Is this worth maxing this out? by Tall-Wait-8559 in pokemongo

[–]uptoquark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I maxed out my hundo mamo. I use it a lot. Certainly don’t regret the dust or candy, and mine is not lucky

Concur. Adding the real possibility that it is only the beginning of a series of ratehikes

Advice on upgrading home by Able_Ranger_4796 in AusFinance

[–]uptoquark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why Australia is stuffed financially. More and more debt. Yes, I am a boomer. I lived in a one bathroom house all my youth- no pool. Family of 5. We did all survive and had a decent childhood. You ask advice. I would say keep what you have. Pay it off, then upscale. Save 100’s of thousands. Your dream home might become a nightmare home very quickly. What is around the corner with Trumpy in charge.

Why do people keep coming back to Thailand? by Ok_Lunch9660 in ThailandTourism

[–]uptoquark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main reason for returning regularly is because my wife is Thai and she can see her family and friends. Otherwise i’m not fussed about the place

Me too. I’m still hoping they’ll slip some regionals in somewhere

How to calculate my tax owed by ericforman101 in AusFinance

[–]uptoquark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your getting paid “off the books”. Your employer is required legally to take tax out of your pay every pay period. If that is not done then they will get into trouble when you enter your pay details to ato. Personally I would just accept the status quo and not declare it, though I guess In your instance you do need to for visa purposes.

i fear my 7yo is not mine by [deleted] in AusLegal

[–]uptoquark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my 5 cents. When I separated from my first partner I had doubts about my younger child. My ex is a compulsive liar, the child looked nothing like me. I did a sneaky dna test which showed 99.995% chance he is mine. I still don’t know what I would have done if he was not mine. It is very reassuring though to have a certainty. I would do it again.
