A while ago I was googling to find the biggest/best quality CRT commercially available. and its like this 30" or something 4:3 behemoth. tables needing extra support to hold it up etc since it weighed in at like 40+kgs
Obviously older people and collectors wanted them so they fetched about $600 but no one ever wanted to cough up for postage (why are PC nerds usually poor? lack of career drive from disinterest in work? poor social skills to leave good impressions? poor body odour?)


My mother had two 21" Sony trinitron crt screens with for the time a massive 1600x1200 resolution. There was some serious weight on that desk.

Turnbull hasn't ruled out allowing first home buyers access to their super for a house deposit...

Is this real life?

Would be fking awesome, though I see a lot of people who can't pay mortgages securing loans...

Nope. He understands perfectly that servers need superchargers to function better.

You must have missed that memo.

 

I don't think you understand how memos work.

If the market is at the point where that's the only way you can get into it. Then there's a far bigger issue at play.

You actually can't afford it/you aren't being sensible with the money you make/you have unrealistic expectations about where you are looking to buy vs what you do make/shits just outright over priced.

People are like oh I can't afford to buy, mean while taking an overseas holiday every year and blowing the rest of their money on alcohol/partying/fancy car. No shit you cant save the deposit. If that's the way you want to spend your money, go for gold. But don't cry that you can't afford shit as though that has nothing to do with it.

The first home buyers grant should never have involved giving them money, it should always have been discounts to taxes on the purchase like stamp duty.

but how do i get my plasma..

 

oh wait that was the baby bonus

Don't forget brunch, and smashed avocado. I bet chef Hamish has smashed avocado all the time, bastard. 

But it's just like everyone... 2+ $4 coffees a day, maybe a snack or lunch, min $50 a week on booze, go out for dinner min twice a week (sometimes eating at the pub is more expensive than eating anywhere decent) on top of rent, gym, living expenses, fuel, bills, loans, gifts, collectable nikes, flat brims, festival tickets, concert tickets, tickets to that show your friend has a part in, netflix, spotify...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Depends what you're earning I reckon, if on 45k then yeah buying coffees from cafes, going out for lunch & dinners, and drinking $50 of booze a week needs to be cut out. 

Gym, rent, bills, fuel, netflix, spotify, interweb are all acceptable no matter what :D 

The problem my mrs has at the moment is not earning that much (first year full time job) and spends like $100+ a week on different makeup stuff, for some reason she's addicted to it, I guess I can't talk though buying motorbike parts and shit all the time. Soon she'll have to pay off dat dere $50k hecs loan too. #uni #uniforthewin #bachelorofarts

50 for a Bach of Arts? What's she do?!

My IT course was only 30 or 35 and I spread it over an extra year (4-5 additional units)

Was thinking the exact same thing, my eng degree is around the high 30's with extra units too.

What's the amount you have to earn to be paying back the fees?

 

remember most arts students when I was at uni not caring as they "knew" would never hit the threashold

 

so multi degrees just to stay at uni for 10+ years

Nah she did a science degree, bach of arts was just a joke :P 

Although a science degree is probably nearly as useful as Arts. 

I did a 2 year tafe course, cost like less than 1k a year with health care card at the time fast forward a few years earning pretty decent for my age now for a "dumb tafe guy''  edit: maybe not for vwl standards, #6fig #800k #fifo

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
