Birds. According to the news if you wait a bit these suburbs are likely to have a lot of people at risk of defaulting on their home loans.

Derrimut, Point Cook, Werribee, Cranbourne, Craigieburn

Lots of new homes and new estates in these areas...guessing people who used first home benefits to get into the market and borrowing near their max.

House market is messed up but owning one isn't for everyone at any stage of their life.

 

Sounds like there is Per User Shaping and quota...

If you're going through 500mb in 5 minutes, turn down the quality of the video until it all looks like japanese porn.

It happens on my phone and laptop, regardless of usage.

And why would I be able to download a 100mb file at full speed, but not able to load IMDb or Google at the same time?

YouTube defaults to 360p or lower because of poor buffering

seems like its pretty solid at 0.045. An order there will probably sit there for a week or more until theres a dump for no reason.

still got a while to go. I'll sit and wait till after tax time. No more buying for me. Need to focus on my MMA gambling side gig. live betting online is quite lucrative.

No rush, results aren't due until late June anyway. It will probably ramp up prior to that though on expectations and people taking positions, so my entry is looking st around mid June or before if I can get my 4.3 order through. It's looking doubtful though; order expires next week. Definitely sunk from the 4.9 we saw pre-spud and I think it will hit 4.4 again in the meantime, maybe even 4.3 but 4.5 is yes probably a good floor we can agree on.

not sure what source is stating point cook highly unlikely.

The bigger issue is people thinking they can borrow to their absolute limit when credit is cheap. But ignore the fact they clearly can't afford it when rates go up.

I don't know how this happens in Australia anyway. From what I've seen, using all the banks' and lenders' calculators on their websites, they seem only prepared to lend you at most an amount with a repayment rate of around 60% your after tax income - basically budgeting/assuming my expenses on my behalf, when the reality is, rent aside, I'm capable of saving easily 80% my monthly income. Some calculators did not reduce the total lend amount until I put in $1500+ of monthly expenses...

So unless you lose your job I don't know how people are defaulting unless degenerate alcoholism / gambling population who can't control their spending. Having kids could explain a good chunk of it, but shit...not everyone can afford those either.

I think this is a big part of it.

you look at it now and your both kid free, earning good income no worries.

kid comes along, loose one income for a period plus extra bills, is that 80% still correct then? prob not.

 

And unfortunately for some these days it's a choice of house or kids.

 

I'd be curious to know the % of disability welfare people and age groups vs somewhere like UK or Canada. There seem to be a lot of able bodied people around who seem to choose not to work... I know a lot of people can't work, but them seem to be a lot who can.
I guy I used to know had short term memory loss from a motorbiking accident, was on the pension and occasionally do labour cashies. His stories of his previous jobs just sounded like he was being a difficult ass hole who would argue with people, so was easier to not work...

As simon says *lel* user shaping & guest wifi policies

LSE. currently we follow them.

LSE finished down lastnight and we were even at the start of the day

19mil traded just about worthy of a speeding ticket, something is going on - serious movement, a pump and dump or leaks

Beat a ZX10 and an R1 to the speed limit...don't see how this is possible when my R1 used to eat everything up, even with a shitty launch. They were certainly trying though :/

1. They weren't trying

2. They're shit riders

One of the above, obviously as you know those bikes are capable of a 10sec flat (maybe even 9s)

I'm gonna go with shit riders

I'm usually focused on the road ahead for such events, but def heard that R1 revving. Odd in itself cause 1st gear tops out at 160+ 

3rd possibility...mocked up litre bikes or...good guy Gregs who try to give other people narrow victories? lol

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
