Apparently they're letting you drink out of their toilet for free too

Around 1% of homes are bought by non-australians, probably a large chunk of those are still residents anyway. But agree that non residents…

FYI the majority of measles cases are in Asia. CDC: "From 2022 to 2023, estimated measles cases increased 20% worldwide, from 8,645,000 to…

Used to be able to ride for 25 or so km free, so I used to do workouts on the most elevated track which would work for me for the month.…

Idiotic thing to say about a disease that still kills over a hundred thousand children per year.

Agree it should have changed but I don't believe it would have much impact on property prices. Land tax and investment property taxes would…

Yeah the gov underwrites it but it won't impact our credit rating, but perhaps it will cost government funds in a worst case situation and…

The entire point is that it's insured, and even if the value drops more than 5% realistically home owners will not sell out of their…

Got the upload increase around midday today from 19 to 47 but download still at 100 in Sydney

It's on the band part that touches your head. I'm not sure how difficult it is. I have already replaced the ear pads once too.

Highly recommend, I must have had these for 6 years at least. Starting to now fray on the fake leather bits but easily a few thousand hours…

Perhaps it was unfair of them to ban asbestos considering all the people that suffered before it was banned.

sure you can but it's not legal unless you don't bring it back

From my experience even 100 mbits isn't enough to reliably stream 4k without buffering, though I don't stream on Netflix.
05/08/2025 - 18:32
I'm tossing up if I should keep waiting. I don't have a 4k TV but looking to be ready for the increased nbn tiers later in the year.

TCL 75" C7K 4K UHD Premium QD-Mini LED Google TV (2025) $2,018 + Delivery ($0 to Selected Areas) @ Appliance Central (Excl. TAS)
Seems like a decent deal. Looks like it delivers to all major mainland cities but does cost to get it to Perth.

A bit different because Costco really just breaks even on their products, pretty much all of their profit is in the memberships

Great deal and you don't have to deal with the least spatially aware people in Australia

Smokers and drinkers are putting disproportionate strain on our medical system, even with the high levy on smokes the smokers still cost…

Is it worth waiting for a possible sale for March/April next year or just bite the bullet at 1250?

The BYO GPU builds seem to have an expired code. Are they on special and what code do I use?

It's a lot of money to pay back, but the government can just inflate it away. The interest the taxpayers are paying on it is effectively…

The additional funding to Medicare to make bulk billing more accessible is fantastic and will also reduce pressure on our hospitals. Tax…

Not much point taking a lower rate when both are effectively risk free. 1% returns over your entire working life will make a significant…
06/03/2025 - 09:43
Fair but the market only expects the rate to drop another .6% over the next 18 months. I wouldn't expect lenders to drop it any more than…

Why would you ever put it in a term deposit while savings accounts offer over 5% with little to no downsides? There are 15+ over 5%…

That's a very narrow view of the impact of these changes, the reality is that lower rates will have a number of impacts. The RBA keeping…
