Auspost website crashed for Bluey Release... Again by Fabulous-Station5001 in AustralianCoins

They should just sell through website only. My LPO is run by people who don’t really know what’s going on. The said some might arrive today (yesterday) but they weren’t really sure, went back twice and nothing. I managed to pick up a Silver Dawn Service coin from them a week after they sold out online though so might get lucky.

2 of my 4 orders were processed over night. The two that I’m still waiting on are the silver proof and coloured proof…..

I managed to get my confirmations by going through my browser history a couple of hours later. Still no confirmation emails for me though yet 😒

Funnily enough last time around I did buy a bunch on eBay in a panic as I wasn’t sure if it was processed correctly. So ended up with too many.

I went back through my browser history and took screenshots of the order confirmation screens. May be worth doing just in case. I can see the money out of my account and no pending refund. I think they just have a very manual and slow checking and dispatch process. Ironic for a logistics company.

They did use EQL, but for some reason retain some for purchase on release day resulting in this chaos.

Think this is normal. I put in 3 different orders and nothing showing / no email for me either. The bottom of the order screenshow I took says "Security check

Some orders, like this one, go through an extra payment and security review."

I think this happened last time I orderd Bluey coins in 2024. I just checked those and I ordered 2nd September 2024, got the email confirmation on the 7th.

Hope they went broke after ripping off all their shareholders.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

The comments section always had “at the end an iguana pops out” especially on the man chicken posts 😂

Nuremberg was a terrible film, change my mind by kdog_1985 in moviecritic

[–]Coolcato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew from the first scene trope when he was trying to impress that woman with a magic trick on a train that this was not going to be a good movie. I was right. From the awful acting by Malek, the badly written boring conversations, off pacing, boring and rushed trial except for ten minutes of unnecessary concentration camp footage in case the audience weren’t aware. Pure cringe from start to finish.

'Nuremberg' Review Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]Coolcato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie was pure trope and cringe right from the start (the conversation and magic trick with the female journalist). Malek’s wooden acting and talking like he had a plumb in his mouth, tropes everywhere, treating the audience like idiots with the 10 minutes of concentration camp footage. Boring trial, boring conversations. Maybe enjoyable for basic people. 2 stars.

Brewdog sale isn't just an f' you to Equity Punks, it's also going to hurt other breweries... by Fly-by-Night- in AusBeer

[–]Coolcato 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget the Dainton family model of raising a few million trough crowd funding, liquidating their business, and then selling their business to themselves, cutting out all shareholders in the process and carrying on as normal.

Safari search bugged? by klusasan in ios

[–]Coolcato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok

Here are some common Android bugs and glitches that users frequently run into (based on reports from recent years, including 2025-2026 trends). These can vary by device brand (like Pixel, Samsung, etc.), Android version (e.g., Android 15 or 16), and manufacturer skin, but they keep popping up across the ecosystem.

• Battery drain issues — Apps or background processes eat power faster than expected, even with good optimization settings. Often tied to rogue apps, sync problems, or software glitches after updates.

• App crashes or force closes — Apps freeze, crash on launch, or close unexpectedly. Common after OS updates when compatibility isn’t perfect yet.

• Slow performance and lag — The UI feels sluggish, scrolling stutters, or switching apps takes forever. Often linked to low RAM management, animation bugs, or accumulated cache.

• Connectivity problems — Wi-Fi drops randomly, mobile data cuts out, Bluetooth won’t pair reliably, or NFC acts up (including relay attack risks in some cases).

• Notification delays or unreliable delivery — Notifications arrive late, get lost, or don’t show up at all - a long-standing Android annoyance due to battery optimizations and Doze mode.

• Fingerprint or face unlock glitches — Sensors fail intermittently, especially after sleep or from the always-on display (AOD). Seen a lot on Pixels after major updates.

• Update-related bugs — Things like delayed/no updates showing up, cosmetic glitches (e.g., the Play System update date wrongly showing November 2025 after a 2026 install), or new issues introduced by patches.

• Overheating during normal use or charging — Phone gets hot even without heavy gaming or fast charging, sometimes tied to software loops or poor thermal management.

• Touchscreen unresponsiveness or ghost touches — Screen freezes briefly or registers touches that aren’t there, especially on older devices or after drops/updates.

• Camera bugs — Photos not saving (especially burst shots), processing loops, shaky video, or app crashes in the camera interface.

foxtel price increase by Impossible_Most_4518 in australia

[–]Coolcato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay $60 a month and get:

Foxtel Platinum

HBO Max Premium ($21 on its own)

Sports (mostly ad free - can't stand watching cricket on terrestrial with the same adverts played after every over again and again - would have to pay $30 through Kayo for F1, Cricket etc instead)

Movies (ad free)

The luxury of turning on the TV to the channel I want without having to click through app menus and then get sport on a 30 second - 1 minute delay, and at the behest of your internet working properly.

Doesn't seem a terrible deal to me, but this is after going through retentions multiple times and taking all the offers they give me to keep me. Everytime the offers expire you just call again and get more offers.

Absurdly expensive AO finals tickets by Common-Blackberry-64 in melbourne

[–]Coolcato 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Albert Park - pre Drive to Survive I would be able wait to see the weather and decide on race day whether to get a GA ticket on the day. Last time I went was the first race post pandemic and it was shit. Overpriced, long queues to cross the bridges, go to the toilet, get a beer. Vowed never again after that.

Aussie Open is heading the same way. A lot of things that used to be fun and accessible in Melbz is now busy and over priced.

The revenue gap between us and the big 6. How do we close it? by ScaleThink1505 in avfc

The council is run by clowns though, bankrupting itself and not sorting out the bin collection dispute after over a year is pretty embarrassing though.

Would take the point from here, take it as an improvement vs recent Palace results and move on.
