Fairly sure BTT is referring to the test results for illicit substances in our sewers.

I think we were classed as the DnB capital of Australia long before Pendulum released slam.

I had no idea that these kept being made after 2005.

Also not on my bingo card was late 90s / early 2000s hard trance coming right back in to style with people who were toddlers (or not even born) when it was originally popular. Love it.

Took me longer than it should have to realise what 10 referred to.

Some of the most potent wastewater in the world

The police can issue "yellow stickers" for illegal modifications including non compliant headlight modifications.

If given one, the vehicle has to go for inspection.

It happens, however it's rare enough that it doesn't really stop people doing stupid shit like fitting the wrong bulbs in the wrong housing or fitting LEDs with the power of 10 suns and fucking binding everyone.

I have no idea why you have been down voted.

Our mortgages do work in a manner more similar to British ones than American.

I.e. you sign up for either fully variable interest rates, or you can lock rates in for relatively (say 3ish years) short time periods.

Typically lenders provide their best rates when borrowers negotiate well before signing up. Then they hit people with the "laziness tax". I.e. they raise their rates fees etc higher and higher on the assumption that the borrower will simply bend over and take it or be too lazy to re finance. Many do. But plenty shop around and transfer to another lender to take advantage of better rates.

If your property goes down in value, to the point your loan to value ratio goes below the threshold deemed too risky, then your ability to shop around gets diminished. Perhaps it dips in to the ratio which invokes lenders mortgage insurance, or even makes you so underwater you can't change lenders at all.

If this happens then the borrower can find them selves stuck paying a lot more in interest.

A part of me thinks it would be funny for it to get built to see how many dirt bikes / utes would deliberately tear it up.

Tents are quite cheap these days.

I still am amazed at how many engineers I work with came out as anti Vax during 2020-2022.

I often fear how fucked the world would become if the 3 Abrahamatic religions teamed up after one day realising this.

Wait who is funding the reimbursement? The platform? The bank? The tax prayer?

 

The WA government is pressing ahead with its plan to create a motorsport street circuit in Burswood Park.

It is opening the community consultation process for the controversial new proposal.

But Treasurer Rita Saffioti has denied it will only be a motorsport track, saying it will be a "multi-use facility".

 

I thought it was odd that I've been able to enjoy this perfect weather instead of being holed up indoors to escape the smoke.

West Australians believe the state’s capital will need to rapidly decarbonise and diversify its mining-dependent economy, halt urban sprawl and support more apartments if it is to accommodate 3.5 million people by 2050, according to a new report by a Perth think-tank.
