Just curious, why are you not allowed to install a window air con if you are allowed a portable air con?
geek001 commented on Family Sim Plan Reccomendations
My family is on this: https://www.etel.com.au/offers/newnumberspecial $15 x 4 = $60/month. This is only for low usage users though, as…
Oh ok, I guess that makes sense. Although, for my use case, the deposits may not be regular or the deposit amount the same every month. It…
Tried it out, looks good, I can see the site being useful as a second opinion. The only thing is that the "optimal" bank account in my…
I went to China earlier this year. When I got there, none of the 100% cashback VPNs I signed up for worked if I try connecting directly to…
geek001 commented on Looking for a SFF for Home Assistant & Jellyfin
My Home Assistant is running on an old Acer laptop with Celeron N150 CPU and 2GB RAM. I think HA has very minimal hardware requirements.
geek001 commented on Phone for a High Schooler - Android or iPhone
Yes, the struggle is real I have been told, I suspect more so with teenage girls. I don't understand it myself and it is not something that…

WV1 on 9kg Gas Bottle Refill $19.95 (Limited to 1 Per Day Per Customer) @ Barbeques Galore
Ah... this probably why I have not been able to find an unexpired bottle when doing bottles swaps. I did find one that was from 2017 one…

Send them a thank you note to remind you that it is that time of year again to buy another one? Also, ask if they charge extra to brag…
I usually roast chicken drumsticks in my air fryer instead of buying roast chicken from the supermarket. Less than $4/kg. Marinade with…
Sorry, I couldn't resist.... I don't have much won't power.

PoorFromOzBargains on [QLD] Free Big Mac at Brisbane Locations @ McDonald's via MyMacca's App
Same, I guess it was midnight 10 Oct instead of 11.59pm 10 Oct.
I also sometimes use topcashback.com for travel sites and VPN subscriptions. Their cashback percentage is sometimes higher than AU sites.…
geek001 commented on China Eastern Direct Return Flights: Shanghai from Melbourne $633, Brisbane $643, Sydney $651 @ IWTF
Please note that China visa free for 30 days ends 31 December 2025. I suspect it will probably get extended but no official word yet.
I think on Android phones there is a setting to protect your battery by limiting max charging. Anyway, I was on mobile broadband for around…

RubyChoco on [VIC, QLD, WA, SA] Ma La Tang for $3.20/100g (Was $4.28/100g) @ David's Master Pot
Actually never mind. I had a look at the app. David's Hotpot is not on Eatclub in Brisbane. Maybe that's why it is only Melbourne wide.

Thanks didn't know about Eatclub. Love David's Hot pot also. Too bad doesn't apply to Brisbane.

We have always had a variable temperature kettle, previous one was a Delonghi which lasted quite a while until it leaked out of the water…

Excludes QLD I would imagine. Coles don't sell liquor here.
