Sorry if this isn't the appropriate community for this question, but has anyone received an offer like this before?

We requested a quote to vinyl wrap two bathroom cabinets and the attached was the business' response. I've checked and the UK company exists, just seems a little too good to be true.

Varsha, a 22-year-old arts and law student, says that the older generations think gen Z is weak, but the realities of the cost of living crisis, climate crisis, global unrest and social media make her 20s a game of survival.

• Almost 40 per cent of patrons said they would use a lower dose of their drugs after having a conversation with health professionals testing their substances, according to preliminary data.
• Preliminary data indicated that for more than 70 per cent of patrons, it was the first time they had a judgement-free discussion with a health professional about drug and alcohol use.

The Hunt 1000 is a self-supported, 1,000-kilometre cycling adventure from Canberra to Melbourne which takes riders one to two weeks to complete, and is considered one of Australia's toughest and longest bikepacking events.

What the dickens !

Now i want to have a go !

In 2018, Australia set a series of national targets around the recovery of packaging and this year is the deadline. But figures show we're behind on almost all of them.

Prenups are on the rise. But as more couples are confronted with this proposition, they're having to navigate awkward conversations — and what happens when the terms aren't agreed upon?

Before I moved here, this was easily a trick question. All made up answers. (And im ashamed to know the answer)

Any big plans for 2025?

Stuffs fucking delicious

Live in a regional town and I do have a preference for Paul's eggnog but am fine with trying other brands

What's happening? What are we doing? What are we listening to? What are we drinking? How good has the cricket been?

These figures could have been much worse, with more than 8,800 rescues performed by lifeguards and volunteer surf lifesavers in the past year.

Australian bosses could go to jail for 10 years and be fined $1.65 million if they "deliberately" underpay their workers, as part of new laws that nationally criminalise wage theft from January 1.

The new laws and penalties follow years of underpayment scandals in Australia, with cases at prominent employers including Woolworths, Chatime, Qantas, NAB, BHP, 7-Eleven and the ABC.

Until now, the federal body that investigates wage theft has only been able to go after companies and their directors using civil laws, which don't come with the threat of jail time.

Now Fair Work will be able to go after them using criminal laws too.

Things like washing machines, fridges, higher end (or mid range) vacuums, or other things you'd feel pretty bummed about dropping a bit of money on just for it to turn out being shit

I'm considering subscribing some time next year before I make some bigger purchases after tax time. I'm always morbidly worried about either buying something that does its job poorly, or just isn't good value for the feature set.

From the couple of reviews/rankings I've seen, they seem to be a lot more scientific than random "what is the best x lists". I feel like when you google reviews for any midrange products, most of the reviews are just "oh well yeah it's okay but actually nah if you spend three times the price you could get 5% better performance so it's actually bad and you shouldn't buy it. Just buy the more expensive version instead!"

The minimum 3 month subscription term is the only thing that's making me pause. If they offered single month subscriptions, I'd probably be more inclined to subscribe. But I'm interested in hearing opinions from anyone who either is a member, or has been in the past. Worth it?

Despite him blowing the whistle on the egregious use of power by the Tax Office with an understanding that he was protected, he wasn’t. He’s been caught out by inadequate laws that purported to shield him, but instead lured him into a situation where he and his family has suffered for seven years.

Somehow not satire.
