Correct, the first line is intentionally made to make it sound like I'm complaining about Ukraine and Iran. The second line points out that…

Good time to look at solar and batteries, who knows how long it will take to deal with the terrorists in the Middle East and Eastern Europe…

You'll probably save a mint dropping gas. The offset puts the electricity bill on a low user plan with a higher per unit cost, and the gas…

Didn't even realise, I guess that's how wide their influence goes.

Grand opening? Wasn't there always a Noel Leeming on Queen Street?

This is the one and I did not as our forehead scanner has a low battery and we have no AAAs hanging around because the baby keeps playing…

Yeah I've just come out the other end, still have a bit of a persistent cough and worked out for the first time in just over 2 weeks the…

I didn't even know size 5 existed, smallest I've seen are size 6.

I've heard American islands are extraordinarily expensive to visit, stuff like a normal breakfast for 2 being $70+NZ plus tipping. Is there…

Good to see it's not completely dead, my plan doesn't expire til December so I guess I'll wait for a Black Friday/Christmas offer and jump…

Buy one get one... gluten free?

Espresso, why's that?

Yeah it's a good price for quality beans, which are usually 30+ these days, but I'm not familiar with the brand so I don't know if they are…

Hah, I didn't even notice that. That's hilarious: "Overheating can cause discolouration and shorten the life of the non-stick coating."…

You don't have to be cheap, but you have to be capable of demonstrating that a $229 item is 21.9x better than a $10 item. That other guy…

Cast iron pans are both the barbarian AND the wizard's choice in cookware for spell casting. You can whack 'em over the head and yell "Cast…

Pretty much, they have a high thermal mass and good conduction. So they suck up a lot of heat, and spread it around and release it evenly…

I don't disagree with any of their reviews, but what are their suggested alternatives at the $20 price point? What makes them better?

I'd always buy a cheap cast iron before what looks to be an aluminium pan with a non-stick coating. These are just the same ones they've…

All speakers technically have a built in subwoofer. A subwoofer is just a large speaker, the larger it is, the deeper and more powerful it…

Sure it'll probably be better than TV speakers, but without a subwoofer I wouldn't recommend it. Better, but not THAT much better.

I buy mine by the litre and it comes with a handy pump cap and a box of tissues. It only accidentally gets on the keyboard sometimes and I…

What does that have to do with anything? I said I have an A380 for JellyFin and now you're talking about the whole machine as if you know…

I don't see why power consumption would be a talking point, they don't idle at their full load, and their full load is 75W or less. A whole…

I was going to go for an A310 but the A380 was cheaper. And it's not a performance thing, the A310/A380 is the lowest end PCI-E GPU money…

We now have a year and a half of experience with nappies and still I couldn't tell you if any brand is better than another, so have to…

Jumbo refers to the quantity in the box, not the nappy size. So yes, all sizes.

I don't know about gaming, but Intel ARC GPUs are the ultimate for video (encode/decode/transcode/format support) on a price/performance…

Genuine question, ignoring the fact I rarely use hand tools anymore and do 99% of my driving via an impact driver, wrench, drill or two…
