I have an LG TV (webOS) that already has Chromecast capability. Is there any benefit to adding this?

ascorbic replied to itstuan on Cocobella Coconut Water Watermelon & Mint (6x 1L) $16.50 ($14.85 S&S) + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU
I agree, this tastes terrible. Stick to the pure coconut water or chocolate flavour.

ascorbic replied to freedomofspeech on [iOS, Android] ANZ Save Account (App-Only Account) 3.25% p.a. Interest on Balance Less than $250,000 @ ANZ Plus
"ANZ Plus" is their attempt at a neobank, just like how Bendigo Bank's neobank is Up. The only difference is they're sharing the ANZ brand.…

It's the new trend with these so-called neobanks; Ubank and Up Bank are also like this. Stupid, I agree.

Not it qualifies as bullying but one would need to have absolutely no shame or decency to do that. How embarrassing.
