This charges my laptop and Pixel at the same time. Can't complain.

I have HSBC and Macquarie accounts. Did a back-to-back test in Japan and the Macquarie rate was better (Mastercard interbank rate).

Dan4113 on Purchase 4 Michelin Tyres from Participating Dealers & Receive up to $200 Gift Card @ Michelin

Thanks for noting this...I missed that you get both. Will get exactly the same.

Let me sleep on it, and I'll give you an answer in the morning.

Stealtho on NAB to End Overseas Access Fee Waivers for Migrated Citi Plus Products

Same. Was just a matter of time so I bailed early. Still take advantage of the Citi credit card bonus points periodically though.

Agree. We bought a Sorento 11 years ago and it's been fantastic, but if I had my time again I would have got the Carnival. If you are going…

I use this. A lot safer than a motorised cutter and it's super sharp so not difficult to get through decent size branches…

knasty commented on Home Insurance: 50% Increase Last Year, 20% This Year. Are We Getting Bled by Insurers?
The excess can make a huge difference to the premium. I have a 5k excess for my home insurance and about 1k for contents as we're a very…

I was thinking the same thing. To spend so much effort on this relatively small investment whilst leaving such large super balance in the…

knasty commented on $359 Electricity Bill for The Month - What?!
Double check if your time of use plan is the best one via energymadeeasy website. I was on a peak/shoulder/off-peak plan which was better…

I recently switched to Globird. Their rates have just increased by approx 25% so what I hoped would be a long term relationship will now be…

My wife and one child had braces for between 18 months and 24 months - about $7k. For the youngest we were given the option of Invisalign…

knasty commented on Humidity High in Sydney
In winter we run the reverse cycle air cons on drying cycle for an hour in the bedrooms while no one is there; does a pretty good job and…

knasty commented on Ozito PXC 18V Brushless Reciprocating Saw - Skin $49.98 + Delivery ($0 C&C/in-Store/OnePass) @ Bunnings
Use mine all the time. Fantastic for the price. Just watch the heat if you use it for prolonged periods....give it a chance to cool

Same. Will use the powder in a pinch but the 2L Almat liquid works fine and is substantially cheaper than brand names even when they are on…

You don't need a drain. Just empty the water container every time.

I have the same esatto but still have old working tumble dryer. We use esatto heat pump for everything, takes longer but lower power and…

bio on Refund of US$456 (in Warranty, ~A$714) or US$200 (Out of Warranty) for Eligible Pixel 7a with Swollen Battery Issue @ Google

Same. Well within warranty I believe (bought Aug '23). Must only be certain production runs...I'm going to keep a close eye on the battery…

knasty commented on Refund of US$456 (in Warranty, ~A$714) or US$200 (Out of Warranty) for Eligible Pixel 7a with Swollen Battery Issue @ Google
Hmm, just put both IMEI codes in for wife's 7A and it says it's not eligible. SO it seems like it is some 7As, not all.

knasty commented on Smart Meter Vs Traditional Meter - Electricity
Smart meter has been ideal for me. We have a time of use plan where off peak is all times apart from 4pm-8pm weekdays. This means 90% of…

knasty commented on Is There Any Ombudsman in Financial Sector? (Our Financial Institution Holds Our Money for No Reason)
I've seen some negative comments re AFCA here but my last two AFCA complaints have been resolved within 3 business days. That exceeded my…

knasty commented on Do You Bother with Home Brand Stuff?
Good example is laundry soaker. Coles/Aldi brand is 30% sodium percarbonate. Name brands are 20%-25%. So you pay much more for less active…

G-Shock on 8 Months Supply RESTOR Minoxidil 5% Hair Regrowth Spray (4 Cartons) $72.99 Delivered @ PharmacySavings

Agree with this. I tried a mix of both drugs, had side effects from the Minoxidil but fine in the Finasteride. A yearly supply costs me…

knasty commented on Is It Worth Getting Solar in 2025?
I got solar in 2018 and switched to time of use electricity plan. Works well for us as the solar deals with most of the demand during peak…

knasty commented on Any Vasectomy Recommendations in Sydney?
I had it done at Marie Stopes Westmead. Was about 10 years ago now but about $700 then IIRC. I'm normally not good with needles etc but got…

knasty commented on SIHOO Ergonomic Office Chair M18 - $199.99 Delivered @ Costco (Membership Required)
I have the Amazon version which I think was around $280. I'm very happy with it.

Might be worth a service check (have you cleaned the filters)? Perhaps your unit is throttling itself back because it's already hitting its…

Yes it's certainly the case that bigger is not always better. Pretty much all split systems COP/efficiency drops the larger the unit, so…

Agree. I have a 10 year old V6 Sorento and it's been great, but there's no way I'd buy a modern one in diesel form for urban driving. The…
