MasterScythe on Intel X710-DA2 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ Ethernet Converged Network Adapter (X710DA2) $173.38 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Yep, I made the mistake of trying to run one of these passively in a standard PC case. It got alarmingly toasty before dying, though to be...

congo on Seagate Barracuda 8TB ST8000DM004 Desktop 3.5" HDD $199 + Shipping ($0 C&C) @ Umart

Wow, I thought you were missing a zero there until I checked online. That's comically slow.

If you're good with your knife then yes, definitely less work than using a press.

djamesm88 on OXO 11107400 Good Grips Garlic Press, Black $21.26 C&C @ The Good Guys

Agreed. I've owned the OXO press and while it is built like a tank it doesn't crush nearly as well ones with a cantilever mechanism.

Both the 55" and 65" C1s seem to be advertised specials so I'd guess that they're excluded. Shame because it would have been a good price...

mangobango on Xiaomi Mijia 24 in 1 Precision Screwdriver Set US$16.99 (~A$22.92) Delivered (AU Stock) @ Banggood AU

There's also something curiously satisfying about how the case opens and closes, makes you feel like the John Wick of electronic repair.

netsurfer on Wavecom PS-3005D 30V 5A Bench Power Supply $129 Delivered @ Wavecom Instruments via Amazon AU

In addition, being linear this supply is kinda puny so a lot of laptops will push or exceed its current limit - not a good way to test...

Only if you donate to my conveniently indeterminate cause,

cute as ducks on Futurama Complete Series Box Set DVD (27 Discs) $32.99 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU

'Aggressively mediocre' is the most common assessment of Disenchantment I've encountered. It's better than modern Simpsons, but that's a...

BargainTeebone on Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Draught Style Can (24×355mL) $60 @ Dan Murphy's (Members Special)

It's genuinely impressive how quickly ozbargainers have picked pretty much every store in Australia clean of stock.

caitsith01 on Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Draught Style Can (24×355mL) $60 @ Dan Murphy's (Members Special)

You have to add 6 4-packs rather than a case.

GoodToGo on [PC] DRM-free - Thief Gold $1.39/Thief 2: Metal Age $1.39/Thief 3: Deadly Shadows $1.89/Thief 1-3 $3.27 - GOG

The story makes more sense if you play through them linearly, but Thief (particularly Thief Gold) has some not-so-great missions so I'd...

bargain huntress on [eBook] Fire and Blood: 300 Years before A Game of Thrones (A Targaryen History) by George R.R. Martin $5.99 @ Amazon AU

endotherm on MOTYYA Stainless Steel Dental Tools 8pcs - $16.14 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Sevendays via Amazon AU

That's one hell of a tolerant cat, you'd need a blood transfusion if you tried to pull that with any of ours.

lostincanberra on Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml $79.85 + Del ($0 C&C) @ Dan Murphy's (Online Offer)

I get where you're coming from but I've found as you get used to more aggressively peated whiskys the more they open up. When I was chasing...

Couple of reasons. Firstly to save on costs a single ADC is often shared (interleaved) between all of the active channels, so the 1GSa/s...

slothful commented on Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3600 C18 Desktop Memory (Black) $427.15 + Delivery ($0 w Prime) @ Amazon US via AU
If you don't want RGB you can get the Patriot Viper Steel sticks with the same timings/size from AmazonAU for $355.

Yeah, the Ortiz anchovy range is so, so much nicer than the bog-standard $2 supermarket anchovies - not bitter at all and few if any bones....

I find that the Pureharvest has an unpleasantly bitter aftertaste compared to other oat milks.

Yeah, I had a couple of messages like that yesterday. The people leaving the message sounded genuinely confused about WTF was happening, so...

huertano on Energy Australia: up to $200 Cashback (New Signups: Gas & Electricity $200, Electricity $110, Gas $90) @ Cashrewards

It took 4 months for mine (23/5-23/9).

Serious Sam 3 tried for the more realistic angle and was a worse game because of it.
