What was your brewing method?

Peasant.

Not lowest ever (that was $478) but still not a bad price if you want one in a hurry.

I used to have one! Think it was a portable cd player though.

I took a punt on these ones - https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/841195 Will see how they go, not sure about that metal…

Thanks but I believe the springs won't last

Our clothes lines are under cover so no problem with UV. Anyway these specific ones don't seem to have an issue with UV, sometimes I find…

Yeah we do have some stainless steel ones, they are ok but don't seem to grip as well (we live on top of a hill where it's very windy). I…

AncientWisdom commented on Nvidia Shield TV Pro 4K HDR Android TV Streaming Media Player $248 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ Harvey Norman
Is it still worth running lower definition content through this for upscaling vs a 2024 Sony TV?
