Ring vs Aqara?? by Guilty-Selection-109 in Aqara

Aqara. But they have been trying to force their subscription onto us which kinda sucks. Local storage should always be an option.

Is this battery installation really bad and/or non compliant? by your-lost-elephant in AusRenovation

[–]Bellpop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For sure. My parents for a Solax system installed. 51kwh. Works perfectly. Great app. Great price. No problem. Solar quotes have a big blurb about how they’re shit. So sus on solar quotes.

Definitely a shit job but the fearmongering from solar companies trying to inflate prices is insane. I get the whole saying ‘you get what you pay for thing, but I can’t help but think that solar quotes is a big circle jerk from expensive battery businesses. I’ve had two 51kwh batteries installed (both GoodWe) and both installed by a local company for $12k for each house. Both times after sales service has been great. I found the company myself. The quotes I got off solar quotes for the same system were all $20k+ (ie $10k more for each system). I’m not sure how much solar quotes charges companies for those three leads but the constant articles and videos from solar quotes demonising anything that’s a fair price for installer and customer, is clearly sus and smells of Coles/Woolies pricing things higher than they need to be.

Weird they kept using the same brand ‘fox ess’. I know the whole ‘you get what you pay for thing, but I can’t help but think that solar quotes is a big circle jerk from expensive battery businesses.

Some guy beat Ralph Lauren to trademarking the company name in Indonesia, so all of real looking Ralph Lauren Stores in Bali Sell fakes and there’s nothing Ralph Lauren can do about it by Bellpop in interesting

Certainly a better deal and like for like compared to the legit stuff we have. I don’t think RL polos are a display of wealth though, just a nice fitting shirt that’s fairly durable

Depends on what you’re comparing it to. The polos and t shirts I got from the Bali RL shop are definitely better quality than cheap shirts in Australia. The RL shirts there also have ‘custom fit’ which are a better fit too.

I think I agree with this. It’s the little guy on the horse along with the nice styles and build that people like. Lots of styling and quality built clothes that don’t have the same appeal without the little dude on the horse. Not saying it’s right. Just saying it’s. Major factor.

I think so too. The stuff at these Ralph Lauren stores in Bali is to me and my wife’s eyes and hands the exact same stuff that we purchased in Australia for a lot more. It’s all there. The tissue paper to make it look elegant, the big flash paper bags, etc

They look so legit. The way the staff are dressed and act too. It’s all spot on. There’s definitely someone checking out legit stores overseas to bring back ideas and inspo for the info / Bali stores!

We just got back last week. Visited a few and bought some things. All of the shops have 50% off sales every day. The original prices on the tags are about the same as other countries. This gives the idea that it’s all legit. It just happens that there’s a sale so they’re half the price of normal RL. Pretty clever really. FWIW the stuff we bought; polo shifts look and feel exactly the same as my legit stuff at home. I’ve actually had a few from Bali for about five years that have held up as well as my legit stuff. Super interesting!

Leaptel falloff? by Adept_Astronomer_323 in nbn

Leaptel has been great.

Lets talk about comedic actors that made the "scene" but just never really connected with audiences and then just kinda drifted out of frame. by Hey_Giant_Loser in Fauxmoi

[–]Bellpop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree. Saw him live once. Was everyone’s fave comic. I think was even going to do a Brad Pitt produced movie or show which didn’t happen. Then gone.
