xylarr commented on Replacing 13 Yr Reverse Cycle 12kw Ducted Aircon System Do I Replace Ducts Also?
How does the zoning work? Do you want some kind of zone control? Can that be retrofitted? Does the existing ducting fit into any new zone…

Ugh, my existing membership expires in January next year. I just cancelled now and they tried to say they would send me a voucher for $30.…

SAL, Atom, Clipsal in that order.

A lot of people threaten legal action. Wait for actual legal action.

If you're getting an electrician in to do it all, consider adding dimmers to each room.

Ugh, in a previous house, I had some quite expensive Brightgreen downlights - great lights - but the controlled load ripple current really…

Definitely go recessed. Since it's a bedroom and you have five of them, lumens isn't so important - 400 or thereabouts should be fine.

Thankyou for saying this so I don't have to

What concerns me is on the Origin page, it says: > Electricity prices and Origin Go Zero carbon offset prices are increasing on 1 July…

xylarr commented on Understanding Power Tools for Basic Home Use
I have a Makita selectable drill driver (with hammer function) - use it all the time. Indeed I have been using it very recently while…

I went 5800X3D a little while back. I think that's the highest you can go on AM4. I think this is the third CPU on this motherboard. Now…

People forget the opportunity cost of not investing the deposit somewhere other than your own home.

You've clearly never been forced to move house several times in a short period and end up paying in total about $150,000 in transaction…

You have to compare taking your 20% deposit and investing it. Also, you have to keep investing to make up to the equivalent costs of owning.

I reckon just go to K-Mart and buy the cheapest one there. Replacing that regularly will be cheaper than something expensive. And you may…

xylarr commented on Choosing Laptop - Mac vs. Everything
I much prefer windows and how it operates, how it does window management, multi monitor management, multi desktop management. Though…

theHMASfriendship on Comprehensive Car Insurance - Which Insurers Do You Compare with or Do You Use a Comparison Site

This is the key thing. I don't think I have been with the same insurer year-on-year for ages. In NSW, for CTP you should also go to the…

Daniel Harris on Breville Dynamic Duo BEP920BSS Coffee Machine & Grinder $1299.99 Delivered (Was $1599.99) @ Costco (Membership Required)

Absolutely agree with this. A good service - new seals, new pumps - can get several more years out of the machine and is at least half the…

Make sure you get a [high yield](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/273269#comment-4128667), investment grade AMG though.

shegeloaf on [NSW] Everything Electric 2025 March 7-9 at Sydney Olympic Park: $10 All Tickets @ Everything Electric Show

They're better for my environment. Less noisy, less fumes.

Just thank your luck stars you don't have a euro car. Friend of mine has an oldish Audi A3. The ABS pump has died. Quoted $5800 from Audi…

xylarr commented on Another One of Those Posts: Whose Fault Is It?
I mean, it's Car B. But also Car A drove on the wrong side of the driveway - don't cut corners people!

This worked for me. I'm this offer came up. I was eligible for the $30 voucher when I was cancelling my original ebay plus. But then when…
