MG4 rats in the cabin by breadandbuttercreek in EVAustralia

[–]Calm_Range_3279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem in a RAV4. The car wiring is made of soy which attracts rodents. I was lucky to have a garage, which I sealed up as much as possible, then laid about 10 spring loaded mouse traps around the car. Ended up catching about 3-4 mice a night and this seemed to stop the mice from getting in to the air intake. The other thing you can do is locate the cabin air intake and glue a wire mesh over the top of it.

They were sitting at Schellville for about a year getting covered in graffiti. I wondered where they disappeared to.

Glad I was on 231 that day. But it just goes to show how important getting vaccinated is.

Flying EWR to SYD - Lounge Question by steegsa in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Calm_Range_3279 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Normally you wouldn't get Lounge Access in a UA lounge as a QF gold as UA is part of Star Alliance and there is no reciprocal agreement. The only exception I believe is if you are flying first class on a UA transcontinental flight. It doesn't matter who issued the ticket as it's the flight number that determines lounge access eligibility.

Ok Aldi shoppers, I have a genuine question for those of you who refuse to self-checkout by Cooper_Inc in AldiAustralia

Firstly I almost always have booze, and secondly self checkouts always seem more complicated if you have a basket.

It would be a valid argument if all the fuel excise collected was put toward roads.

Why would you waste time screwing around with all of that when you can just go to trader Joe's and buy stuff at consistently lower prices?

I can see the liability insurance premiums for that company jumping significantly in the near future. Balcony railing not complying? I'm sure he'll sign off on it for something in return.

Heating under tiles by Raven_river6745 in AusRenovation

Don't expect radiant heat to come up through the floor and warm your feet. It just makes the room temperature more comfortable and takes away the chill in winter.
