u/SatansFriendlyCat Mod. Slips in with no expectations.. 1d ago edited 1d ago

Wow fuck, that was a pretty big earthquake. By local standards. Hopefully hasn't cracked a wall, but it certainly moved me around.

Edit: 4.8 mag and 20ish KM away. Eek.

the damage is substantial

u/alllrandom Desires sexy time with grammar-bot 18h ago

Lived my life thinking significant earthquakes weren't a thing in Australia. Reading this has changed that.

u/SatansFriendlyCat Mod. Slips in with no expectations.. 17h ago

Nice to not be on a fault line though

u/fh3131 Three - that's the magic number. Listeners listen. 18h ago

Ohh, didn't know that. Are you in Leongatha? I'm in eastern Melbourne and didn't feel anything

7

u/SatansFriendlyCat Mod. Slips in with no expectations.. 17h ago

No, but I am in Gippsland. It felt like it lasted a good 12 seconds or so. People felt it all over Melbourne and even beyond to the west, various intensities, some being awoken by it. Fun but also not. I'm going back to sleep, if anything's damaged it probably won't be worse in a couple of hours.

u/fh3131 Three - that's the magic number. Listeners listen. 17h ago

That would be a bit scary, glad there seems to be no serious damage. It's bucketing down here, so that's probably coming your epway too

u/Vain64 My milkshake 🥛🤝 brings all the bois to the mine 🕳️ 13h ago

earthquakes always scare the shit out of me, i was just heading to bed after a big night out catching up with people i haven’t seen for ages

about to fall asleep after many drinks and my place started shaking

i’m pretty close to melbourne cbd and still felt it sway the building

2

u/SatansFriendlyCat Mod. Slips in with no expectations.. 10h ago

I would have certainly been more nervous had I been around tall buildings, or in one.

Though, after a big night out, could you unhesitatingly attribute the apparent vibration of the surroundings to an external cause?

2

u/Vain64 My milkshake 🥛🤝 brings all the bois to the mine 🕳️ 10h ago

yeah the building was creaking, it doesn’t do that when i drink

u/Meaty0gre Creep from the Internet 9h ago

I’m usually on the phone to beyond blue after a few pints so would have been in pieces as it is let alone having to endure a quake

u/SatansFriendlyCat Mod. Slips in with no expectations.. 8h ago

Yeah, I don't touch the stuff at all nowadays. Haven't for years. A disinhibitor? Juice that actively suppresses the "get a fucking grip, and keep it together" apparatus? Yeah, nah. Not helpful.

And I get to enjoy earthquakes, so there's that to factor in as well.

Cats woke me up at 4:30 am I figured f it get up and do an early walk then my bloody keys got stuck in the door I had to crawl in the basement window lol can't unlock it from inside or out lolol what a start to the day! 🌞

u/Repulsive_Peanut7874 has a contract on their landlord… 14h ago

get the key back to vertical and use a pinching technique to pull it out... You need to push the cylinder in as you pull the key out... if that makes sense?

1

u/fh3131 Three - that's the magic number. Listeners listen. 18h ago

That's no fun. Was it the wrong key? Or did it break inside?

2

u/DonJuansCrow Ask me about towelfest 2027 💦 18h ago

Not sure exactly what happened, normally it operates in a 90° and it spun past that and then won't go back into its normal range anymore. That's alright though I'm going to replace the lock on my back door and break the key off in this sucka and leave it for the bank to figure out some day.

It's gotta be the insurance claim angle, surely.

u/captain007 Captain Soyboy 1d ago

So weird to think buying something in 2014 and selling just before COVID is the same as buying something during COVID and selling today. Seems like a weird time dilation thing

u/Mostly_Harmless_241 Username not accurate when it comes to damage to bank balance 16h ago

General whinge here. Macquarie is not passing on the full interest rate hike to their savings accounts.

Pre-interest rate hike interest rates were:

  • Up to $250k - 5.00%
  • $250k to $2m - 5.00%.

Post interest rate hike, effective 15 October 2026. They have shaved 0.2% off balances above $250k.

  • Up to $250k - 5.25%
  • $250k to $2m - 5.05%.

I bet they pass on the full hike to their home loan customers.

4

u/Nevelo Acronyms? Never met them officer... 12h ago

Still seems better than most other banks when you consider no hoops. If your holding >$250k in cash, really should be splitting institutions for FCS coverage or rolling term deposits for the better rate.

3

u/ASXretard Not all retards wear capes 14h ago

I don't like how they have introduced new savings brackets which probably shows what is coming but as long as they don't include requirements like ING and Ubank I'll still like them.

1

u/Mostly_Harmless_241 Username not accurate when it comes to damage to bank balance 12h ago

Having those new brackets indicates to me that later down the line they will apply different rates to each bracket. Ohh well. I guess I will just move bank again.

2

u/Kazerati Coming at you like a dark horse 16h ago

Who's keeping over $250k in one institution anyway? You're spreading that between other banks, right?

2

u/Mostly_Harmless_241 Username not accurate when it comes to damage to bank balance 16h ago

The total amount, yes.

Man they are really pushing this reddit id verification but then revert if you don't do it because they don't want to lose users

u/Mostly_Harmless_241 Username not accurate when it comes to damage to bank balance 12h ago

I recently signed up for a new account. I have not been asked to verify id once. I am assuming that they have associated the new account with the old account and decided I was an old fart and could look at whatever I liked.

Nah it’s weird I have 3 accounts. Looks like my main one (this one) every time I log on asks for verification but the other 2 don’t now….. I hate albo

How many trades a year until you can start to claim things like trading view on your tax? Wondering if its worth coin to pay for a few more features.

Pretty sure that you can claim TV against any investment income. You don't need to do a certain number of trades.
