Just got the email this morning - full cut passed on (Virgin - Macquarie)

HAH! We walked out of Naples train station across the square to get pizza on the way back from Pompeii. Wife didn't want to venture out…

I'd guess you'll have to back-calculate from what you think you'll need to spend in retirement...plus a lot of inflation depending on how…

Yeah, that's what I'm saying - I agree with you. With Labor's (Greens) ideology driven 'renewables only' mantra going forward Australia is…

Very likely, due to spending 13+ years on various iron ore, coal, bauxite and nickel mining projects. Moved onto LNG and a smelter…

In Australia? We don't. Send the ore off and import it all the products from overseas (China).

I have been using a DeBuyer carbon steel, Lodge cast iron and All-clad stainless pan over the last 7-11 years. Most frequently used is the…

Unfortunately it's not something greenies and labor are interested in. Everyone hated the plan to use Australia's local natural gas +…

Lol, were there only two options on the ballot?

Some EVs have an onboard inverter to power AC appliances but are usually maybe only rated to 2-3kw. You'd need some kind of massive…

Wut? Have everyone to buy an EV to charge during the day and stay home. Catch the bus or ride a bicycle instead, then drive the EV at night…

Wow! I used to work for Sanity when I was a student. Back when they had physical stores around selling music CD's and movie DVDs. Damn,…

LYNX Africa is the OG isn't it? I remember the boys change rooms in high school to be a foggy chemical gas chamber of various deodorants.…

Will this affect the price of eneloops?

Great news for electricians and suppliers. Bet the prices will suddenly jump up overnight, with a lot more Ford Ranger Raptors and jetskis…

My 5 year old K380 died last week and saw this looking for a replacement. Ended up going out on a limb and ordering a $33 Rapoo USB-C…

Depends - if they have a surcharge for any credit card or card transactions then no. Sometimes there's no fees for EFTPOS only.

Couple of handheld CB radios, rolls of garbage bags and a few Dell Thunderbolt docking stations - all fished out of the trash.

How does this work? I assume if you got shot in the face all that kinetic energy still goes into your face, not to mention the shrapnel?

Bottled water is the new TP! Pulled into the carpark to see almost everyone loading water into their cars. Some people had entire trolley…

I wanted a Bosch one initially however we were still in the midst of COVID and was 8-10 weeks away and I couldn't be bothered driving to a…

I've owned the 10kg version of that LG washer for a couple of years now. Have 2 boys since birth and its handled a lot of dirt/vomit/poo…

Or a smoky Craptiva!

Fantastic 'loophole' for these tradies and business owners to buy dual cab utes. Go grocery shopping, take the kids to school, beach trips…

king for dodging the tax man

Have two of the Xiaomi ones, but they don't seem to be discontinued now?? One is 5 years old, the other 4. Both doing great! It's easy…

In this situation if one parent is a PAYG employee making over $250K + super, have 2 young kids and spouse isn't working, how does that…

Cracked heads when crack heads crack your head open.

To my surprise my V8 absolute battery from 6 years ago is still going strong! Cleans a family of 4, with a long haired dog and having two…

HAHAA. Second reference to waffle stomping in this thread. I first thought it was related to some weird fetish relating to eating waffles…
