My boss at $work has used OrbitRemit for years to pay the workers in the Philippines. They charge $8.00 AUD for sending money from an…

So true about the dull blades! One of my wife's Christmas presents was a voucher for professional knife sharpening.

My wife has small hands and LOVES her Global knives. IIRC they have a lifetime warranty as well.

True it's back in stock but the price is now $179 AUD.

That is one beautiful product! Excuse me as I go add an alert for the Xiaomi powerbank.

> Other than in a gridlocked commute, driving a manual is also FUN! Three words for you: Old Pacific Highway: Brooklyn - Mt. White - Calga…

I have nothing useful to add except that I laughed SO HARD at this. And it's funny because it definitely will happen :)

I had a 2009 Golf TDi with the DSG gearbox (until I totalled it but that's another story) that I loved as much as my very first car. I had…

It's completely my fault for not digging more, but it wasn't obvious from the screens I saw that it was a windows-only game. I assumed that…

Crap, this is windows only. It's now on my steam account so thanks anyway :)

Anyone else get a notice that Toy Story went out of stock? Downton Abbey has shipped already but Toy Story is sitting at Awaiting Stock…

It could be worse. A couple (three?) months ago I placed my first order from FastTech. The order was dispatched pretty quickly, but because…

Sweet! Just purchased Toy Story trilogy for "the kids" and Downton Abbey for the wife.

I recently upgraded my 3 yr old Macbook Pro from a HDD to an SSD (500 GB Samsung EVO) and I'm kicking myself for not doing it years ago.…

I use Plex for all my local media and would recommend it to anyone. The Plex app works very, very well with the Chromecast.

Unless you have a lot of local media or subscribe to a streaming service like netlflix, a chromecast isn't going to be a very good choice…

I just bought the 500 GB Samsung Evo for my 2011 MBP. It's waiting for me to drop by the office so I can start the transfer and…

In my case, I successfully twisted the prongs. You should be very careful when doing so, but it will work. My preference would be an…

DPReview is perhaps the most comprehensive camera website out there! If anything, as a total newbie some of the reviews were quite over my…

FYI, I got the [protected 3000 mah](https://www.fasttech.com/products/1207704) batteries

Having tried the Ultrafire batteries for a bike headlight, I've found them okay at best. The quality is hit or miss, and they almost…

And another 16 Eneloops on the way for me. I think this will hold me for a little while.

I thought I'd buy this one, but it's only available for collection in Chullora or via the $76 truck delivery. No post option available. :(

Finally got in on these deals. I have two 8-packs coming my way now. Thanks OP.

I feel slightly stupid now because "delivered" wrapped to the second line and my quick scan missed that part.

FYI, the price is now 7 GBP.

I'll add another vote for the Kindle Paperwhite. The screen is beautiful and the backlight is super handy to have. Wifi is such a brilliant…

Unless your car needs the extra octane, putting premium in a car that only needs regular is a waste of money. Modern fuels are clean enough…

I didn't know about Vina Bakehouse. Cherry Lane is much closer to me but I'll give Vina a try next week.

I always get the wholemeal rolls, which are always soft and better for you anyway. The white as you said is *very* crunchy and makes a…
