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.

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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
