  • And the little girl copying mum's expletives lol

  • IF the property is sold. In the meantime little or no tax is paid by the owner, and millions of people are priced out of the market. The owner however can borrow against the higher estimated value of their property and purchase more property to pull the same moves again. Wealth concentrates towards the rich, inequality increases.

  • I suspect a well equipped thief will spot wifi cameras and jam those frequencies but I have no data to back this up, probably safe unless you have the world's largest diamond on display. :)

  • Does the role of assassin involve much heavy lifting? :)

  • That's why you need to play buzzword bingo!

  • I thought the central "lie" of negative gearing was that landlords could spend money improving their properties, claim the rent received on said property could never cover the cost of said improvements but in reality be accruing massive capital gains on said property - which will never be taxed until the sale of the property. In the meantime the money spent on these improvements can reduce the owner's income tax, potentially to zero, despite the owner accruing massive wealth (via increases in property value intrinsic to the market and extrinsic via the improvements made to said property) that will not be taxed. Am I missing something?

  • Nup wasn't me - it would be nice if the bot had rights to edit post bodies, put in a TLDR if it's empty. Whaddya reckon @lodion ?

  • Yeah I think it's better to have it in the post body itself though, rather than searching through comments for the TL;DR.

  • This Saturday there's a fun, free House music day party at Lucky Coq on Chapel St from 2pm :)

  • Probably when OzGov stops throwing a tantrum whenever they point out the reality of the situation.

  • I've thought about it but I have a sneaking suspicion an insurer would reject/complicate a claim based on details of compliance of the ebike to local regulations.

  • Mine are hard sci fi, it's ruined me. Whenever social issues come up my natural response is to suggest solutions likely more applicable several centuries in the future. Climate change/major extinction event? Move humanity to orbital habitats and minimise surface visits to required scientific study or biosphere maintenance! Preserve the only known cradle of life (Earth) as the unique resource in the universe that it is. I honestly struggle to think in any other mode lol

  • Omg I think I might have been an unwitting extra in that movie. But it was 3 buses in a row so maybe it was the 3rd movie in the series. Maybe "3 Late 3 Stop"? 😊

  • I still refuse to watch Titanic or read Dan Brown novels just because I believe that heterogeneity in human meme exposure might be important. This is easily the weirdest belief I maintain but I'm sticking to it. 😉

  • Poor Bull, cows can't go down stairs, only up. Must have been stuck up there for a while.

  • Rain should pass by about 3pm if you run out of time ☺️

  • I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
