It was a very rude one, apparently.

Being the change you want to see in the world! Thanks for the update, I've been waiting to buy some.

Harvey Norman regularly runs identical promotions, I wonder if they are already being investigated.

> I don't enjoy what I do, I'm feeling overwhelmed and burnt out with a lot of pressure on my shoulders. In the job I work, moving would…

You mean as a merchant, reselling other people's work. There is plenty of money being made in business, but the global platforms are…

You can drop ship most stuff one item at a time now, so there isn't the savings a bulk buy used to bring.

Good practice after you got all your riches shaken out by Largo on the bridge

It is nuts you can get a $1000 laptop delivered faster than a pizza.

Good thoughts here.

We ran Lego trains OK, but maybe the technics motors need more power. For $12 you can get 30 alkalines at Bunnings, which would be many…

Hard no. For anything where you replace batteries regularly, NiMH will be the value leaders by a long way. The LSD options like LADDA and…

Yeah, agreed, but wanting to be reassuring!

Laughing a bit at the comments about quality. This is the alternative to $1000+ machines. I would definitely choose the 500w model for the…

Incheon is liberally sign posted in English, with English speaking help desks. You’ll have more trouble in Japan.

The lenses are small and comparatively cheap. I can pop a Tele or long zoom in a pocket. But I’m not buying new gear for new gear prices.…

Where do watch batteries that never leak come from? I will only use them in future.

Micro 4/3rds is an amazing entry point to hobbyist photography, IMO. Second hand gear is a fraction the cost of new alternatives and…

No. It takes longer to heat up, but also longer to cool down. The panel heater will cost the same for a certain amount of heat.

It’s a hassle, but there isn’t much you can do yourself - both the water side and the power side (and the gas, for that matter) are all…

Not to be critical, I think it is great to try and fix things, but it sounds like you might be a bit out of your depth. Maybe time to call…

If it is a gas system, it won’t have an electric booster element in the big tank - so no electricity is used to heat the water. You could…

This is for shaving the little pilling balls of thread that develop when a knitted garment begins to wear out. It won’t remove lint like…

I think the gas boost systems are under powered, as they are designed to heat water that has already been warmed by solar. If you are using…

I would prefer several smaller units, than a big multi-head or ducted system too. Also likely that when time to replace them comes, they…

I have gas central heating and two split air cons in different rooms. I find the RC aircon units produce enough heat most of the time, so…

Splendour is on sale too.

I understand your number based on having full grid capacity 24/7 with no storage, hydro or peaking gas requires 465GW of wind. But what the…

Lol, they can't get them to stop digging up coal. What possible chance is there you will be convinced to stop eating meat?
