Pretty much, only ever see people posting up their winning tickets eh.

Anyone know the law behind renting? A friend has just moved in a week ago to a place but there's a LOT of shit that doesn't work or is problematic, stove doesn't work, oven doesnt work, toilet leaks pretty badly, taps drip, some lights don't work, TV antenna on the house doesn't work & pick up 0 channels with rabbit ears to name a few. What's the likely hood of leaving? Would they loose the whole bond and months rent paid in advance? or is there a cooling off period? I've never rented so got no idea. 

I mean I know stuff can be fixed, but shit takes time and headaches plus they're not in love with the place to begin with. 

Sounds like he needs a plumber....hit me up

Also are they renting through an agent?

My sister is trying to get out of her lease at the moment cos the place keeps getting broken into and robbed.. apparently unable to sleep isnt a good enough excuse to terminate a lease lol

Yea thats f**ked, and yeah through an agent. The thing is with inspection you don't turn on the stove, or flush the toilet and check that the heater works do you? I guess after this shit probably should..  

Ah well kinda not my problem, too scared to move somewhere and rent my joint out now though.

that's always on my list of things.

check water pressure check water clear, heating, cooling hot plates,  usually not oven as takes too long

windosw doors open close

If its through an agent then the agent will send someone to fix everything and bill the owner
Right?

Yeah issues were reported Friday and follow up call today ended with 'maintenance guy will be in touch soon' I just said call the agent every day to annoy him / get it done

hey Martin, if i've booked a flexi-flight with Singapore airlines (one-way), am I able to alter it to include a return flight? (obviously paying a fee, but potentially working out cheaper than a standalone return ticket?)

Anyone had any experience with the optus home wireless broadband?

$60 / month for 200gb seems decent, anyone used this service before?

I used Gen 1 of this about 8-9 years ago

lasted 6 months and moved to cable.

 

should be much better these days with 4g LTE however.

 

Whats the Optus phone signal strength where you want to put the router?

 

looks like it is basiclly trying to compete now with the NBN LTE but much slower.

yeah seems they cap the speeds a bit, about 3/5 bars on 4g last time I was there and looked at my phone.. it's either this or ADSL, just thought this might be good for moving / camping / what ever

that was my theory as well.

 

but the service just didn't work at the time.

 

12Mg is pretty slow

is the adsl 2+ or 1?

also from experience the ping times are a bit crappy so if your gaming might be an issue

 

 

Get a high data phone plan and hotspot if you need it on the go? I've gamed off my phone 4G without too much issue. Didn't notice a lot of ping difference but I'm running my home internet off powerline adaptors so I'm prolly used to the response difference.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
