question: We have a ziplock bag we put spam tins in in the fridge as we eat them, is it die spammenbäg, der spammenbäg or das spammenbäg?

Seems I think my council boundaries have changed or something.

I have a whole 2 candidates on my ballot paper.

Well this should be easy.

My Council has changed to have many individual local wards, I have three candidates, last year there were two. It used to have a system where you voted for all the candidates in the entire Council area, and the top group got in.

To be honest I don’t remember much about council elections.

I don’t even remember how many were up for election the last time we had them.

I really need to change my address to DDT fam, hehe.

Well, fam, has anyone stored their Oodie or similar in a vac bag? Was it okay?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

yup.

don't forget, you can pause the vac process at any stage you want, you don't have to pancake it.

Share market seems to be up today - although when the value of your shares has hit rock bottom up is pretty much all that's left! Although my worst performer is just sitting there with it's 87% loss, it's not even worth the cost of selling at this point. I might be able to recoup enough for a sandwich, as long as it's a cheap one from the lunch truck and nothing fancy.

I decided to dip the toes into ETFs last December, using the Superhero app. Mix of Aussie and US, i just add money to my account any month i have any left over to do so, ill put some in savings and some into the ETF account. Probably looking at about 10% increase across the board when i hit the 1 year mark which has been nice. Your worst performer reminds me of much of my crypto, not worth the hassle of trading or withdrawing out!!

I had some fun with penny stocks that dissolved. Legit no idea what happened. Only a few hundred, but I could have used it for plenty of other more enjoyable things.
