Came to say the same thing. Though it's somehow darker and even more processed.

Honestly, me too. I just have the mid-sized one. It’s a tiny practice amp on battery but when I plug it into a PA or monitors it’s amazing. I'm really happy with the presets that I’ve come up with and having a noise gate on everything just helps so much.

I often use a 5.8ghz guitar wireless receiver with it too.

Literally the best return on investment you’ll ever make in your life. People that waste their roof with some crappy $4000 set up is beyond me. If you got one bank account that would give you a 500% return in 25 years and you could put in between $5k and $15k. Why wouldn’t you put $15k in that account?

Biden can both be a great president and be someone heading for loss against Donald Trump. He’s not losing for his policies, unfortunately this matters.

I have no doubt the Democratic party has been in deep discussion and thought about the other perspective candidates interest in stepping up. Ultimately, it’s Joe Biden‘s decision, they're his delegates.

Yeah it is, I owned all three at one point and was doing A-B-C testing. The 14 is clearly a fuller sound and still impresses me almost 3 years later. It's not "just" bass as such, it just hits the full spectrum in a full and satisfying way.

Obviously it would depend on your Bluetooth speaker. The 14 would definitely be better than a small tinny piece of crap, a large driver will always be able to provide more bass though.

I miss miss Green Day playing the Horden.... Best rock venue in Sydney by faaaar.

Compared to what? An iPhone? Even the 15" air speakers aren't "very good". I would call the 13" air half decent for the weight. 14" is night and day better.

To be honest, it also goes the other way without the corruption.

In Australia we definitely have less obvious financial corruption than the US, but politicians don’t get paid enough, so the only people who go into it are people with big egos and no skills.

My wife would make a fantastic politician, everyone that knows her says it. It would be a huge pay cut (as she's a highly skilled and educated professional), so it will never happen.

I’m 40. I should be at the height of my IT career. I was extremely good if I don’t say so myself. Cannot work due to long Covid....

I meant TV/YouTube etc, but yes older teens might be on tiktok.

You may be surprised at how you step up "under pressure". 20 years ago, my girlfriend's ex girlfriend and I were a bit of a thrupple for a few months. I lived with my GF for a few years all up.

The first few times were pretty big events and frankly I feel that I stepped up to the challenge. I insured that both the girls I was with came many many times long before I did. Its like playing a football game or something, it doesn’t matter how tired you are, the adrenaline takes over and you do your best.

The answer to the specific question was on the other girls stomach, she wasn’t on birth control. Another time my girlfriend told me to put on a condom so that I could come inside her and she could experience that.

My little kids do this a bit, obviously from TV. I assumed it would drop over time and it has a bit. It does feel somewhat inevitable in coming generations we will absorb more Americanisms due to the internet and globalisation.

My wife's 4th place in the final in the 100m butterfly in the Paralympics. Ok, she was 16 at the time and obviously not my wife but I'm still proud of her.

indeed. some of the worst curries I ever had in my life was in the UK also.

Their standard outlet can deliver like 50% of the power of our outlet. Historically it hasn’t made sense for Americans to have electric Kettles.

Please don’t let the Internets obsession with labels like POTS convince you that there is only one type of disautonomia. POTS is a sub sub category of disautonomia and it comes in many forms. It certainly sounds more like disautonomia and not post exertional malaise. continue yourself lucky, I have both. Acute disautonomia is worse at the time, but It’s truly PEM that rules my life....

Well you don't know it would have happened. I saw the next review is 4 years away. The greens got what they could, that's how politics works. It's way better than expected. The medical and criminal system is broken so remove the prescription. It's a win, even if it's not what anyone wanted.

Thank you for the reply. They’re all good points and things I’ve thought about and will think about in more detail.

I fully intend to buy in an area full of young people and apartments, reasonable public transport etc. Where I live there is one particular suburb that is urbanised and full of apartments and that’s generally where young people move to.

Asas I stated another reply, the idea is that once they take responsibility for it, they can rent out a room and go overseas, move to the inner city or whatever.

I spent much of my 20s overseas and boy do I wish that I had somewhere to come back to that was cheap and wasn’t flushing money down a drain for years. I could’ve easily managed finding a roommate for my room through the Internet while overseas, and that was much earlier in Internet days.

Having the room rented out will also give them positive income over the mortgage payment, I would imagine this gives them motivation to do so.

Where I am looking a three bedroom cost 50% more than a two bedroom. Are you saying it would get more than 50% additional rental income? I assume I would be an additional 50% out-of-pocket each month as well. I also don’t believe that I can financially make it work.

if somehow magically a three bedroom unit got twice the rent, sure I’d be open to it but I’m not seeing that. Am I missing something?

Thank you for the information on the tax, that sucks though.

I will look at the pension thing, hopefully it’s not relevant but I have a chronic illness that may end up changing my future.

I understand what you’re saying about the kids living together and things like that, and I have thought it through. It's easier to be idealistic when they are young though. I have 2 boys, 2.5 years apart.

The idea is that they have options. By the time they would want to move out of my house, the property would be positively geared and be a cheap option in the local urbanised suburb full of young people.

Essentially at some point (21-23?) they would be responsible for their part of the mortgage, they can rent out a room or live there and pay it themselves. They can rent in the city or move overseas, just keep it rented or find a roommate. At this point they are saving money regardless, as well as gaining equity.

The partner thing crossed my mind and certainly made me think that keeping it in my name might be "safer", for lack of better words.

We would certainly have rules set up about selling, when, how and framework around it. Ultimately the property exists for them to have somewhere to live or for equity towards somewhere to live.

Im under no delusion that both my kids will be financially well off, getting married at 32 and buying houses at the same time. If either of them are in this situation though it would be nice that they have the option that previous generations had - this is one of the other goals.

At 32 years old one of them could buy out the other one and have a roommate or a partner help pay the new mortgage. At that point the one who stays is on a good financial path and the other has hopefully upgraded to another property.

that’s the idea....

Well, I have 2 kids and financial ruin is not in my long-term plans.

New loan? Recent cut? I'm on 5.99, would be 50% AVR but they might not know it. I had a couple of at request rate drops to over a year ago.

It was your statement and calling the person ignorant that was unnecessary. The OP specifically said smoke.

I’m a medicinal cannabis user. I have chronic health conditions and it helps me.

I was pointing out that a person suggesting you don’t smoke is not suggesting that it can’t help someone with cancer. It doesn’t make them ignorant.

OP said smoke.
