I don't even think they say 'for the win' these days.

No cover. It's quite an old-school and simple mandolin, so no storage space for hand guards or anything. I just store sideways in a drawer…

So... you own the tools, including presumably a jack and tyre inflater, both of which cost a lot more than $45. Quick googling of repair…

Do you think $45 is unreasonable? You must not value your time.

If OP's puncture wasn't on a side wall, this is one of the few things I am happy paying someone else. Had a puncture done at Bob Jane's a…

Pointless comparison. It all depends on your appetite for risk. If you said Nvidia shares 5 years ago, then it's a no-brainer. But you…

That doesn't even make sense. Because it costs you money to use appliances without solar PV, regardless of hour?

EDC just used to be a 'gear acquisition video' subgenre on YouTube for little knick-knacks like pocket knives. Then the term got co-opted…

Unfortunately, short of keeping your dog in a bubble for the rest of his life, there's no 'cure' for atopic dermatitis (which it sounds…

Only like 5-10% of allergies are dietary. Unfortunately, sounds like OP's dog has atopic dermatitis.

Why? Solar was always about self-consumption. The feed-in tariff was jjust a sweetener to promote uptake when installs were costly; now the…

I'm not disagreeing. I use my cast iron skillet for proteins all the time, but it undeniably has more steps. I know people for whom…

I don't know why people are rushing to defend the honour of cast iron... I use my Lodge skillet all the time, but I also have a set of…

Home-brands are not all bad, but House is crap. Fine for when you first move out and need to cheaply fit out a kitchen (although Ikea 365…

That's already high maintenance. You need to season cast iron before use, and regularly oil it. It takes longer to get up to temp, and it's…

Surprised they aren't cross-promoting this with the Ashley & Martin crowd.

Portable HDDs are slow and noisy. You'll destroy it with your read/writes. If your PC doesn't have another bay, then bite the bullet and…

Ergohuman and Steelcase still sell good office chairs that haven't suffered as much COVID price inflation as HM.
15/08/2025 - 10:30
The definition of 'EDC' has well and truly eroded if people are now classifying portable monitors and mechanical keyboards as 'everyday'…

They're nice chairs, but $2500 is cooked. I picked up a couple from Living Edge's relocation only [six years…

1. I've literally never had a black or brown out since I moved in. If you do, then yes, it does change the calculus a bit. But if you have…

No, just that the oven didn't need to be replaced unlike the OP. He did need to install a new circuit with switch for the hob.

1. I went with 'Same Day Hot Water' few years ago, replaced the old gas heater with a 270L heat pump, was about $2500 + $500 electrical…

All their posts are this. Vague, zero effort, no engagement 'post and ghosts.'

Pretty much what I do. Netzero app for automations, so the battery charges 0-100% 11:00-14:00 from the grid. That's enough to tide us over…

The 'cost of living crisis' argument sorta falls apart when you're complaining about vanity plates, no?
24/07/2025 - 18:44
Yeah. Is this post going the way you hoped? 😂

Did you just read the abstract?
