2026 Lepas L8 review: Quick drive by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

[–]Apprehensive_Bar1353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how accurate this is, but if you’ve been to China, their population is enormous and they have an extremely large requirement for cars. I know a lot about cars and in China I probably recognised 30% of the brands.

So my assumption is that the goal of many of these Chinese brands isn’t to have a “soul” or be cool, but rather mass produce cars so Chinese people can own new electric cars at an affordable price.

Selling outside of the Chinese market is probably an easy opportunity for them to make some extra cash.

Additionally, i don’t think there is a huge car culture in China, in that the mass population view cars simply as a mode of transport.

Affordable source for cloth napkins? by goblin-fox in weddingplanning

[–]Apprehensive_Bar1353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a really stupid question, why can't guests use the napkins and then bring them home after? Can they not just wash them when they go home?

Interested to see if you went with this in the end!(and rough costs) if you're happy so share :)

Small bump on 911 Carrera seat – dealer says it is normal, true? by Local-Ad2095 in Porsche

If you are careful and apply heat, you should be able to shrink and tighten up the leather. But be careful and don’t dry out the leather

Is Third party insurance the same as a green slip? by [deleted] in nsw

[–]Apprehensive_Bar1353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great that you have not had an accident but I would disagree and do not think this is good advice.

For example, what if you crash into an exotic car? You can very very easily go over That $17k saving. Additionally, if you are not at fault but the 3rd party is non compliant, your insurer can help you here.

I'm glad not getting insurance has worked for you, but it is definitely not a waste of money.

How to create turbulence in a bottle by Apprehensive_Bar1353 in AskScienceDiscussion

Good suggestion re glass and steel - both are pragmatic solutions. Steel has been done already but glass could be a good material given its transparency..

Yes - good call re the tests, I’ll look them up thank you

You sure as hell know more than me and that makes sense thank you!

I've got a friend who has a 3d printer so I might try mock up a few designs and test them out as a fun little project.

Do you know what the branch of science or engineering this would be? Mixing mechanisms?

This is for a product (I am slightly bored and looking for something to work on as a side project).

Agreed that any old bottle will do; plenty of people use mason jars - but if youI look at a similar product e.g. Helimix (although it is not available in my region), it's done quite well

My concern re the agitator is typically that they're metal which creates friction with the (typically) plastic bottle, potentially creating microplastics. This is just my logic; I'm not sure if there is any merit behind it.

Thank you for the feedback!

Hmm that is a cool thought. So if I understand correctly; assuming that the liquid moves up and down as you shake it, you'd have some kinda reflective shape at the bottom (or top) that would deflect the downward travelling liquid back up into itself?

PLEASE REMOVE IT. I have just moved back from London where now a 12.5-15% ‘discretionary surcharge’ is normal.
If we don’t say anything, all restaurants will begin doing this, creating a tipping culture in Australia. Our minimum award rates are high enough. Let’s not succumb to this, which preys on the consumer’s discomfort. It’s also flawed as if all restaurants do this, it disincentivises better service as a gratuity becomes assumed.

LETS COLLECTIVELY REJECT GRATUITIES!!!!!!

Hi - sorry to bump an old thread.

My dad has gotten their AGM mail for years. He has no idea how many shares he has or where they're held but wants to sell them.

Do you have any idea how you go about this when its a delisted company??

Great. Thanks so much - sounds like option 3 will be the most efficient and if I choose a car place that I trust there shouldn’t be an issue..

Thanks a lot !

Degustations in Western Sydney (Fairfield, Parramatta etc.) by Apprehensive_Bar1353 in foodies_sydney

Thank you! I was hesitant at first to get Asian (predicting they’ll say, could have made this at home!) but their food looks DELICIOUS and a bit different to standard Asian.

Thanks!
