RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) has nothing to do with safety in terms of likelihood of fire or danger for transport . It just means that the materials and manufacturing process complied with the European regulations for not using the most nasty chemicals and that it can be safely...

Ahh, I see. That makes much more sense. Old (retired) suitcases used as accommodations for the family children as they grow and grow. I guess they eventually outgrow the retired suitcase and another new arrival into the family history commences their growing in the retired suitcase. That is a...

As the family are retired? I had a vision of storing cremation urns in suitcases in the attic :eek:

Or ... Starting your day with an early morning run ... means your bathroom is located too far from your bedroom 🏃‍♀️🚽

1980s kidney-like shape, I guess. Certainly not modern. Back when proper pools were tiled.

Indeed - departure and take-off are two different events and time-stamps.

Pilot ... Pirate ... sound similar, at least when Gilbert & Sullivan are involved around Penzance :p

Unfortunately, the shape of our pool provides significant challenges to the installation of a pool blanket. For us, it would need to be an automated process to cover and uncover the pool, otherwise the pool blanket would just function as a leaf catcher all year round.

In combination, they are right 8 times a day (assuming no movement per the static photo) :p

Let's not give Ikea any ideas

I have temporarily put my battery purchase/installation on hold, pending making a decision about potential change to my pool heating solution. My current pool heating is a solar solution consisting of heat absorbing piping/tubing on the roof. While it is on the south-facing roof, the circular...

Shhhh ... don't mention the war. Oh, I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it. That did influence my previous avatar. And I still have the NM Bus :)

And that likely includes those who attended AFF Gathering #17 in Brisbane last year ;) I have also been known as Nelly Mobbs in some time/space continuums ;) so perhaps that had some influence in my username creation? And that is also a case of IYKYK ;)

Oh, only 15+ years?? I was planning on at living to at least 130 .... so far, so good :cool::p Oh, the thought of planning for an excess ... a problem I wish was coming my direction.

Yes, there are certainly challengers for those with assets such as property and specific shares in their super "fund". When the super fund is a traditional commercial fund (as mine is) there is 15% tax paid each year on the growth within the fund, and there is no fixed assets increasing in...

I think you have underestimated my age. I wish I had $1M in super when I was 55 years old. Unfortunately was not the case. And of course the current lack of indexation of the $3M threshold means that more people moving through the system aligned with your example will certainly result in...

So if I drop from working 50 hours a week down to say 35 hours a week, I can consider myself "part-time" compared with previous work profile :)

And that makes me the Nice Moderator??

As someone whose super is never going to exceed the $3M threshold, even with anticipated inheritances and potential residence downsizing or working until 70 years of age, the prospect of the increased tax rate for exceeding the threshold is of little consideration to me personally. BUT I am...
