Id say Pete's "lol" emphasised the sarcasm, oh wells.

I'm not up with internet lingo. I don't understand half what I read these days...

I know the Aussie way. I am surrounded by other Diggers who when not working, spend every spare minute either drinking, banging, fighting, or taking the piss.

take a tea spoon of concrete powder princess and harden the fluck up my post was in jest take a chill pll and lie down for a while

Another keyboard warrior. No worries tough guy. You know how hard I am and what I need. Thanks for the advice. Make you feel big did it?

***Edit***

I cannot completely let that go. I'll cop being called "princess" from a fellow soldier (which will receive the appropriate retailiatory strike), but not from some internet forum muppet. Do some service before you advise others to harden up.

Sits back and watches, this could be fun LOL

I am guessing your comment "I'll cop being called a princess" means you were in the navy. (throws another log on the fire - sits back to watch the flames LOL)

PS - LOL = Laugh out loud

FLAME = argument over the internet

mid life crisis was just taking the piss, buy each other a beer and get over it.

I absolutely LOVE tax this analogy:

You've heard the cry: "It's just a tax cut for the rich!"

But what does that really mean?

The following explanation may help...

Suppose that every day, 10 men go out for dinner. The bill for all 10 comes to $100. They decide to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, and it goes like this:

* The first four men (the poorest) pay nothing

* The fifth pays $1

* The sixth $3

* The seventh $7

* The eighth $12

* The ninth $18

* The tenth man (the richest) pays $59

All ten were quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner said: "Since you are all such good customers, I'm going to reduce the total cost of your daily meal by $20."

So now dinner for the 10 only cost $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.

The first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But how should the other six, the paying customers, divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his "fair share"?

They realised that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth and sixth men would each end up being paid to eat. The restaurateur suggested reducing each man's bill by percentages, thus:

* The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving)

* The sixth paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving)

* The seventh paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving)

* The eighth paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving)

* The ninth paid $15 instead of $18 (17% saving)

* The tenth paid $49 instead of $59 (17% saving)

Each of the six was better off, and the first four continued to eat for free, but outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man.

He pointed to the tenth man "but he got $10!"

"That's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than me!"

"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for dinner. The nine sat down and ate without him, but when they came to pay the bill, they discovered that they didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of it.

That, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore. There are lots of good restaurants in Monaco and the Caribbean!!

I get very pissed off around January, as I know that every dollar I earn until the end of June I am giving almost half to the government. I understand there needs to be taxes, but I work 60-70 hours per week and earn every cent I get paid. Tax hurts

Nice try. Were in the Navy? No. Am in the Army.

mid life crisis was just taking the piss, buy each other a beer and get over it.

His first post fair enough appears to be a piss take. That is why I asked. His reply, he can be a big fish in a little pond if he wants. I won't lose any sleep over a forum member questioning my fortitude when I deal with real fights, and real men, as part of my daily life...

lol and your calling him a keyboard warrior?

Yes I am. I don't fight on the internet. I save it for the real deal. Not quite sure where you are going with that...

Pity a contribution about a political topic has turned into this shite. My time is better spent elsewhere. Flame away as I am sure some of you will. I'll try to contain my tears.

Out.

AH AH AH my point was there are no squirrels in australia maybe you could have changed it to pussoms nothing more nothing less so dont try into looking at something thats not there you will only get sore eyes ,

like someone told me once winning a argument on the internet is like winning first place at the special olympics even if ya come first ya still dealing with retards

peace out man

Because you are fighting on the internet :thumbsup:

you look nice in blue steve lol

Can't say you look good in the green/white striped top Dean :P

:)

Because you are fighting on the internet :thumbsup:

You call this a fight? It has not even started (and will not as it is pointless). OK. You win.

n sorry dude but the saving the fighting for the real deal i hope the real deal is over something more meaningfull than a stupid squirell/possum miscommunication

The definition of the real deal depends on if you ask the greens, the labor party, or the coalition...

Had enough. I won't let the door hit me on the way out.

    • Yep, totally get that. However hooking in for Generator back up is only a few hundred bucks for the wiring. You could put a couple of those in (for different circuits explicitly) and run a couple of baby generators. Bonus, you can balance them across different circuits, and now have backups in your backup. I'm looking at buying places that won't even have water etc, and I don't mind the idea of getting off the electric grid either, even with everything you've said. This country already has enough power outages that even the mains grid isn't that reliable anymore. I do agree though on spending a bit more to get better gear, and to add some extra redundancy in to the system too.
    • You can set hard reserves on your battery system, and it can't be discharged past that.  
    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
    • Hi Jasmine. How's the war going?
