Thrifty McGifty replied to edrift on Lubluelu Cordless Vacuum Cleaner $96.90 ($94.62 eBay Plus) Delivered @ lubluelu eBay
Similar how? The ones currently available from Kmart look different to this. It also kind of looks like a Dyson or LG.

Thrifty McGifty commented on [Prime] 3M Command 20 lb Adhesive Strips, Black, X-Large (16-Pairs) $20.83 Delivered @ Amazon US via AU
I find Command strips very useful for dropping my artwork on the floor, usually on colder Summer days (after it has been hot).

Ok, after watching some YouTube videos i get it. Now my dilemma is whether to get this, or the Dreame D9 Max for $275.

Also for sale through the BigW website (still coming from MyDeal). Might be able to use 10% off with EDR.

Are you sure? This might be a deal breaker for me. It can't mop a hard floor then vacuum a carpet without physical intervention?

I've got visitors coming from NZ soon, needed local SIM cards for them. Had to buy now. Haven't used Amaysim before, I'll see how they go.

True, but with a 2.5M MTBF, the end of their life is on average 285 years. That's a wide bathtub.

Thrifty McGifty replied to CodeXD on $346 Passport Renewal Fee: Apply Online by 30/6 & Pay within 28 Days (Price Increase from 1/7) @ Australian Passport Office
@CodeXD, what you've already paid is irrelevant. It's a sunk cost - you can't get it back. See my response above.

It seems like the fee is only going up ~$27 to $373.25. but the same sources say the current price is $325, when it's really $346. No point…

No, price you paid is a sunk cost. A better question would be: Is 11 years of passport at the new increased rate a better deal than 10…

I've got one of these. Will it fix a scrape on a bumper that someone left us in a carpark? Or does it only work on small marks?

So if I pay more the manufacturer will have used a better quality non-stick coating and not just taken a higher profit?

I won't buy a projector that doesn't list ANSI lumens. Brightness of "16000" doesn't help me.

Just got a call from them. They said it was a listing error and offered me one with lower video quality. I chose refund.
