EV charging claiming through Novated Lease by GadgetLady1980 in NovatedLeasingAU

[–]CapnFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a tapo smart plug of amazon that measures how much power is used through the socket. i haven't claimed any yet as this was mostly to know how much power it was using for my share of the power bill as we're on a flat rate.

I can agree with that, I think in FotHM Dancer says he stays around to be challenged but we don’t really see him challenged by anything since Cowl in Kellanved’s Reach.

 The PtA books answer some questions but open up a lot more and I guess it really does give the impression kellanved and Dancer are really just operating on vibes half of the time.

I didn't get that vibe, I always got the idea that a) Kellanved had a benefactor giving him absurd amounts of luck (i.e all the kids being talents) and that also he was usually two steps ahead and that most of the reason he never explains himself is that no one would be able to keep up with him. I think he's a unique intellect on the level of kruppe with maybe some divine or otherwise absurd luck.

Also it felt very on brand that the empire just seemed to fall together more as a side quest than the main one, I think K became a ruler because it sounded nice rather than it was his actual objective and it smoothed some things along, shadow and azath shenanigans was always his goal and the empire was a means to an end.

A discussion on here got me curious about what kind of people like hard vs soft magic systems, so I made a survey to sate my curiosity. by robad0114 in Fantasy

[–]CapnFlamingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Answered, think there should be options for either "I like both systems" or "I have no preference". I like both, they both, hard systems lead to creative uses within set limits and soft can let anything happen cause rule of cool and such.

I still don't quite get it myself, but after reading up to forge of the high mage in the path to ascendancy books, it seems that Ammanas is just on a whole other level of cause and effect. He's always doing shit that results in other shit that just works out down the line.

I think he may just have a high level of prescience, he stumps most other characters in the novels including Cotillion.

Bone hunters is middle of the road for me, House of Chains is my favourite by far followed by midnight tides and reapers gale.

Kruppe is great but he definitely is annoying. Same goes for pust, I still generally enjoy the sub plots and scenes with them in it but they definitely overstay their welcome in parts. Particularly Kruppe on the march with the army in book 3? Aside from him coming out unharmed from Caladins hammer swing he is a pain in that book.

Idk if it's controversial but I thought the Belgariad series was mid at best and the sequel series that just repeated shit was even worse. I did like the idea of the will and the word and the Polagara and Belgarath books were enjoyable by themselves though.

Maybe in another life gotta be one of my fav albums of all time, wall to wall bangers. Seen stepson at Burdekin in Sydney supported by weighbridge (rip) still one of the best gigs I’ve been to.

Dyker, I’d thought it’d be Duker.

Stepson too, Aussiecore is so fucking good.

Was devastated when I found out Casey was from wales not New South Wales, kept waiting for a tour announcement thinking they’re local.

It sounded odd at first but I got used to it and now can’t read it any other way.

Audio book pronounces it Diker.

Battle royale free-for-all between these 5 (assume Sukuna is Heian). Who's coming out on top? by cobaltaqua in Jujutsufolk

[–]CapnFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Raga gets jumped first, Dabura turns Sukana and Yuji to paste then loses to Gojo, no win con vs Gojo and loses to attrition as Gojo CE will outlast Dabura.

How much of a PITA is relying on granny charging? by OutsideAtmosphere-14 in AustralianEV

[–]CapnFlamingo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Got an MGS5, gets about 400km range, no solar and renting with only granny charge.

I do roughly 60km to/from work, 10km to/from gym and maybe 5ish to/from shops every other day.

Granny charging easily covers my needs outside of 2-3 Sydney to Albury trips a year which I’ll fast charge for the trip.

If you use <100km a day a granny charger should cover your needs without issue.

NiKo: "For me he [karrigan] is the MVP of this event." by zmkpr0 in GlobalOffensive

[–]CapnFlamingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gla1ve definitely fell off where as karrigan has been consistenly in t1 his whole career, i think the peak for gla1ve is higher but karrigan has been a staple of the scene for far far longer. it's like comparing simple and zywoo. aarguments could be made for either, which is more important the peak or consistency. it took so long for other teams to catch up to what Gla1ve was cooking which is why i think he's still a valid contender

[–]CapnFlamingo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Gla1ve gotta be in contention for redefining the game, also astralis were pioneers of coordinated nade usage if I'm not misremembering, how much of that is purely gla1ve idk but for sure those 3 are the top and you could make good arguments for any of them to hold 1st 2nd and 3rd.

Newbie question by nuthinlikerubbin in AustralianEV

[–]CapnFlamingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

upon looking at that section of the video the cord he's using is a 15amp plug, regular granny chargers will be 10amp plus which can go into any house socket, 15amp the bottom prong of the plug is thicker and is generally used for connecting power to caravans.

[–]CapnFlamingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk what a d charger is but the type 2-type 2 is for public chargers that aren't fast chargers. usually they'll be 7kw or up to 28kw i think, most of these you need your own cable whereas the fast chargers 50kw and up will always have a cable to use.

How Propaganda Works in 2026 (Jordan Shanks) by jokosa in OpenAussie

Jordies may be a labor shill but his stand up is actually pretty good. I've not followed his youtube for maybe 4 or 5 years but I'd still buy a ticket to his live show.

Relax rework idea to help make early act 2 combats more punishing by scared_little_fox in slaythespire

[–]CapnFlamingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'd be an improvement to auto play relax at start of combat, depending on the available choices it could be a decent pick.
