ihbh on Daytek Wheelbarrow 48L $84 (Was $121.50), 70L $89 (Was $177) + Delivery @ Catch

I purchased one of these instead of a wheelbarrow and it's been pretty great so far. Can replace a movers dolly for a few tasks too.

I'm not buying any torch unless it has Anduril. I'm so sick of random combos of modes that aren't fit for purpose and work differently on...

After a few years mine did start marking the wall above the frame. It also sits too low (or is a pain to store). I replaced it with [one...

AustriaBargain on Xiaomi Youpin Automatic Umbrella $14.50 + Delivery (Free w/ Kogan First) @ Kogan

Closing the umbrella canopy with the button doesn't retract the shaft. You have to load the system by pushing the handle back in manually.

nmachine on [NSW] Hair Removal Starting From $20 @ Venulapis Beauty Salon (Sydney, Town Hall)

I would prefer solar heating to winter wookie!

The fix for this is fewer people.

It must be easier to get funding from businesses that may benefit from your work, rather than companies your work vilifies.

DisabledUser214631 on Xiaomi Smartmi Anti-Pollution Air Sport Face Mask US $7.09 / AU $10.57 Delivered @ Tomtop

For making things that people buy? You're applying the right rating to the wrong end of the supply chain.

It matters if the paper rips ever time you try to wrap something with sharp corners.

chalky on VERVE Commercial Grade Weight Plate Tree $99 (Was $350) + Delivery @ Verve Fitness

I'm pretty sure the '7x 250mm Olympic' refers to the 7 pegs at 25cm in length for holding Olympic bar weights (each peg should hold 5...

cheapsk8 commented on VERVE Commercial Grade Weight Plate Tree $99 (Was $350) + Delivery @ Verve Fitness
Are 20kg plates a standard diameter? Mine have handle holes and I don't know if they will fit on this if they are much bigger.

Can you cancel an existing 3-month trial to become eligible or does the membership have to be expired?

jace88 on [XB1, XB360] Daytona USA $2.48 (Was $9.95) | Crazy Taxi $2.48 @ Microsoft AU

This was great like 20 years ago in the arcade. Is the Xbox version really worth playing?

Amazon cleared theirs yesterday for $15

It's a markdown for their 'games clearance' that just isn't advertised anywhere...

seamonkey on Baccarat Damashiro Emperor Hisa 9 Piece Knife Block, $299 (RRP $1399) @ House (Online Only)

Shun are usually very expensive. Just go to IKEA and get a Vardagen cook knife and a paring knife for a total of $30 (or 365+ for $40)....
