    You'll be happy to hear this then (Ive been banned from them for about 2 years now)

    I guess the government beat the corps at their own game of turning wagering into the same shit as pokies. Wonder what kind of huge margins there will be after all these new taxes come in, will probably lead to odds not being beatable except in cases of fuck ups. 

    You definitely won't have your promos anymore, not to the same extent anyway, so good for everyone that milked them all already lol.

    Has anyone here brought/won a car at Pickles or Manheim auctions?

    Yes got my first car there, no issues tbh but probably paid a bit overs, for an auction anyway.

    Its basically dealer > auction > private in terms of prices, because in terms of dodginess its the exact inverse, so it makes sense.

    I've bought all my cars with my dad with me, has always bought second hand cars his whole life and so knows his way around, so yeah doesnt hurt to bring someone that knows a thing or two.

    Sounds amateur but I use Reddit /r/cryptocurrency as my first line of research can really separate decent coins from shit/scam ones. Then I do my own research afterwards. Pretty bummed I missed out on IOTA and XRB, just didnt have any spare money to invest (or gamble @jw1739 ).

    For what its worth, I dont day trade, I just buy and hold for 12 months (due to tax) and see where im at then. Only thing I have sold is my GAS generated from my NEO, which I just buy ETH with so I can afford the transaction fees when I stake my ACC coins.

     

    @Tesla I bet youre loving all this talk, just like your neighbors aye ;)

    Only annoys me when people say completely stupid shit.

    Fwiw in theory I think there is solid value in some cryptos and would invest if the price was right but then you see the market caps and it just makes no sense, completely unrealistic in general.

    TTDIM : NBN continuing to prove why the government should stay out of the economy as much as possible. The more they interfere, the worse it gets.

    Surely will go down as one of the greatest case studies in the history of the world on why government needs to fuck off and let the free market do its thing. 

    TTIM : this post reminding me to check when nbn is coming to my house as it should be soon, and unsurprisingly it's been pushed back another 6-12 months.

    @haz As you know, we're the Nanny State to end all Nanny States. I'm surprised that I'm still allowed to put 3V lights on my miniature Christmas tree.

    I was surprised when I was in the UK that even there theyre legal and can be bought from the supermarket, we really are the Nanny State to end all Nanny States.

  7. I'm also one that has never got the whole strippers thing, might as well go to a prostitute and get some bang for your buck. Again though, never got the whole prostitute thing either, unless you're a married man and want some discreet action on the side, if you're single seems more fun to spend the money trying to get a woman to have sex with you without a direct fee. 

    But each to their own.

    IMO we can do better than reduce everything to profit and loss. There is such a thing as quality of life.

    More open space is the QoL improvement here. The rest is just replacing an unviable building with a viable one.

    Still trying to figure out which building they are talking about. Is it  the one where the pizza place is? More to the point, the claim is that the building has not been a commercial success, so lets assume (and it is a big assumption) that Apple is footing the full bill for demolition and construction (without additional tax breaks) and then comercially the building is a flop. What are the terms that Apple got to stay in a building which is unsuccessful?

    Apple is footing the bill for demolition and construction as well as renting the new building.
