16:08:17 <Bonny> lol
16:08:21 <Devil45> and got 2 ebay sellers hating on me for it as well
16:08:27 <Bonny> why?
16:08:38 <Devil45> they list an item but instead of being clear in the description about shipping
16:08:46 <Devil45> have an attitude about sending to sa
16:08:54 <Bonny> that's dumb
16:08:58 <Devil45> they are set to send to melb syd and qld
16:09:00 <Devil45> but fuck sa
16:09:09 <Devil45> *they dont actually put that on there)
16:09:30 <Devil45> have to message and ask then they say they wont send item to sa - so they are blocking buyers
16:09:44 <Devil45> not to be confused with pickup only listings
16:10:05 <Devil45> strangely its qld sellers with attitude
16:10:11 <Devil45> the vic ones are ok
16:12:13 <Devil45> and yes its dumb
16:12:41 <Devil45> and ive been a buyer since 2007
16:12:55 <Devil45> but if thats how they treat buyers they wont sell much.

16:57:58 <gry> do you have suggestion for a credit union to join instead of a bank
16:58:43 <gry> i don't want to deal with into an international company or their managed funds that go to corps like facebook, apple etc
16:58:49 <gry> s/into//
17:00:59 <Devil45> only credit union ive heard of lately is the police credit union (which despite the name is not necessarily all about cops)
17:01:14 <Devil45> theres gotta be others though
17:01:35 <Devil45> and dont deal with foreign investment
17:02:34 <gry> the reason why i ask is because i'd like to find somewhere sane to put unused salary into, and major bank 'saver' accounts don't do much
17:03:13 <gry> i will check it, thank you
17:03:32 <Devil45> its only a suggestion
17:03:38 * Devil45 isnt into credit unions
17:03:40 <gry> yes i know
17:03:54 <Devil45> i dont hate them just not into em
17:04:13 <Devil45> i wonder when bons barfday is
17:04:23 <gry> well if you have a fortune you buy a property
17:04:32 <gry> and if you have half a fortune maybe make a business
17:05:12 <gry> for everything else thats smaller, there's no specific well defined venue to invest without these foreign investments, afaik
17:05:33 <gry> takes heaps of time to find
17:05:42 <Devil45> you wouldnt use a bank for an investment portfolio on beachfront property.
17:06:01 <Devil45> banks are small fish
17:06:12 <Devil45> thats an example (a bad one)
17:06:33 <Devil45> only reason i mentioned police credit union is due to the ads
17:06:42 <gry> you mean you wouldnt save for a beachfront property in a bank account
17:08:28 <Devil45> you could
17:08:38 <Devil45> but it would look odd having millions in a bank account

19:58:42 <doggyrat> i have been in the lab yesterday evening to do some more laser out of covers
20:00:09 <doggyrat> i was already tired and did setup the wrong thickness of the acrylic glass and the laser did not go through
20:00:41 <doggyrat> half the acrylic glass board has gone into the bin
20:03:19 <doggyrat> luckily it was a bigger board of 48cm x 38cm so i could use the other half to do it again
20:05:23 <doggyrat> Bonny: i got up much earlier today than usual it was 9:10am as i left my bed
20:05:37 <doggyrat> i will try to keep up to that the next days

21:31:33 <Bonny> ok
21:35:17 <doggyrat> my failing of yesterday made me lose a lot of material, but i have learned once more not to go to the if i am already tired
21:35:56 <doggyrat> but i could laser covers out of the second half
21:36:22 <doggyrat> next time i will be in the lab i have to make some U-frames

21:54:39 <Bonny> ok

23:19:34 <Bonny> other similar to my apartment sold for 360,000 to 370,000
23:19:41 <Bonny> I got it for 355,000
23:19:45 <doggyrat> could you push the price
23:20:07 <Bonny> I got it under market price
23:20:59 <doggyrat> almost half a new car compared to 370,000
23:21:04 <Bonny> yup
23:21:22 <Bonny> I did really well
23:21:31 <Bonny> the apartment has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
23:25:30 <doggyrat> do not tell me too much , otherwise i will invite myself for holidays :P
23:25:43 <Bonny> good I'll tell you more then.. :P
23:26:35 <doggyrat> as we lived in italy a lot of friends of my parent wanted to visit us to make cheep holidays
23:26:41 <Bonny> lol
23:27:17 <Bonny> have I shown you the photos of the apartment?
23:28:29 <doggyrat> yes
23:28:44 <Bonny> cool
23:28:49 <Bonny> it's nice eh?
23:28:51 <doggyrat> but i do not mind seeing them again , i did not save the link
23:28:55 <Bonny> ok
23:28:56 <Bonny> hang on
23:29:32 <Bonny> check pm
23:29:34 * doggyrat is jealous about the appartment
23:29:37 <Bonny> lol
23:29:45 <Bonny> it's quite spacious for an apartment eh?
23:33:13 <Bonny> that's my forever home.. I plan to retire in it
23:33:40 <doggyrat> i did save the link now
23:33:44 <Bonny> cool
23:34:08 <doggyrat> many and big windows , a perfect view
23:34:13 <Bonny> yup
23:34:37 <doggyrat> and even the shower is easy to clean
23:34:41 <Bonny> yup
23:35:05 <doggyrat> what kind of shop is in the basement
23:35:11 <Bonny> the windows are filthy atm and so is the glass on the balcony.. plan to get professional window cleaners to come and clean them for me
23:35:26 <Bonny> noodles and a grocer/bottle shop
23:36:00 <Bonny> but it's only 5 mins drive from the main shopping centre
23:36:13 <Bonny> 15 mins from my parent's place
23:36:27 <Bonny> the apartment is in the same building that I'm living in at the moment
23:37:22 <Bonny> I've achieved a lot in the last 2 years
23:38:16 <doggyrat> yes you did you can be proud of yourself
23:38:22 <Bonny> yes I am
23:38:23 <Bonny> thanks
23:39:15 <doggyrat> and you are also still leading in our challenge i guess it is 10:1
23:39:44 <Bonny> I'm 93 kilos.. I've been at that weight for a while now but at least I'm not putting on weight
23:40:10 <Bonny> with lockdown it's been hard to lose weight
23:40:15 <doggyrat> but you lost 6kg
23:40:32 <Bonny> 8 kgs
23:40:51 <Bonny> I was 101
23:41:07 <doggyrat> losing weight slow is much better , that avoid the joyo effect
23:41:08 <Bonny> oh it is 6 kgs
23:41:11 <Bonny> yeah
23:41:26 <Bonny> at the moment I've just been maintaining it..
23:41:33 <Bonny> which is not easy to do either
23:41:41 <doggyrat> are you trying to cheat to make me look bad :P
23:41:44 <Bonny> lol
23:42:40 <Bonny> I have a mild case of diabetes which I only take 1 tablet a day for..
23:43:12 <Bonny> my doctor wants to prescribe me to inject myself once a week and not take tablets..
23:43:42 <Bonny> that medication that you inject once a week causes weight loss so I'm interested in doing that
23:43:45 <doggyrat> where is the advantage of injections
23:44:04 <Bonny> the injection is only once a week
23:44:16 <Bonny> the advantage is you lose weight
23:44:27 <Bonny> whereas most diabetes medication make you gain weight
23:44:37 <doggyrat> you should try that
23:44:45 <Bonny> I'm also on another tablet which causes weight gain too which I'm being weaned off at the moment
23:44:54 <Bonny> yes I'm thinking of trying that
23:45:31 <Bonny> so considering I'm on tablets that causes weight maintaining my weight with that is pretty good
23:45:39 <Bonny> weight gain*
23:48:00 <Bonny> so yeah once I'm off those tablets and I take injections once a week for the diabetes, I will find it easy to lose weight
23:48:04 <Bonny> easier*
23:50:32 <doggyrat> curfew at 9pm starting at wednesday here
23:50:55 <doggyrat> i do not know how that will prevent infections but ...
23:51:05 <Bonny> we had curfew when the restrictions went to stage 4.. it started at 8pm
23:51:27 <Bonny> it prevents as people won't be able to gather in large crowds
23:51:33 <Bonny> and it's easier to police
23:52:10 <Bonny> like teenagers would hang around at mcdonalds
23:52:23 <Bonny> they gather in large groups
23:53:00 <Bonny> it worked in melbourne
23:53:22 <Bonny> melbourne now has 0 new cases, 0 deaths, 0 active..
23:53:29 <Bonny> we've eliminated the virus
23:53:46 <Bonny> and 0 in hospitals and 0 in intensive care
23:54:19 <Bonny> and it's been 38 days 0
23:58:12 <doggyrat> for christmas we are invited to the other sister of the wolf, i do not like to go there, it is boring and the serve almost fish
23:58:26 <Bonny> you don't like fish?
23:58:47 <doggyrat> i do not like fish , so let us see what she will give me instead
23:59:15 <Bonny> I'm allergic to fish
23:59:31 <Bonny> so they have no choice but to serve me something else lol
