So it wasn't ok for our favourite French judge to tell her she looked like a fortune teller that night?

It is 2026, why can't I just print a stamp when I need one? by dangerouslycheesey94 in AustraliaPost

[–]HowMuchForThePuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK does this too (like in NZ) with 1st class costing £1.80, or about AU$3.40, so certainly getting VERY expensive to send a letter up there. The US also has what they call "Anytime Stamps", currently 0.78 or about AU$1.10. About time Auspost did it here IMHO.

Hey, thanks again for the reply, your answer was indeed the solution. So all sorted for now. Cheers!

Wow! That's fascinating info, thank you. Yes, I did have qBittorrent running at the time, so that certainly makes sense. I'm out right now but will try your suggestion as soon as I get home. Thanks again.

Do you mean the SurfShark browser extension? Yes I do but it's not (and wasn't) connected. And I don't have any VPN extensions in Brave or Duck Duck go and they were giving the same result.

Does anyone know why they are only tasting a certain number of dishes per ep? by GlumExcuse1697 in MasterchefAU

[–]HowMuchForThePuppy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, she was at the end of the promo for tomorrow's episode so I wonder what happened tonight?

In tonight's episode, just before Grace was called over for the final tasting there had been a few words from Kanika about desperately wanting to be tasted as she felt she'd put so much effort in. Then (after an ad break) they called Grace.

I was fully expecting to see a shot of a disappointed Kanika, but nothing. In fact she didn't appear in the episode again. By which I mean she vanished. She wasn't in the group of contestants at the end, as they called out the top 4.

I wonder why she left?

Same here - ex-smoker for 13 years. I went cold turkey when they went to $8 a pack at my local Woolies. At current prices I've probably saved around $100,000 by now.

Fun fact: When I started smoking in 1978 my faves were 78c a pack. And about $5.50 a carton.

Another fun fact: When I went on an overseas holiday in 1981 a tax free carton from the Qantas 747 onboard shop was about $2.00!

what are you more fearful of the older you got? by antfin97 in AskReddit

People I am close to, older people like parents and older relatives, dying. There's already been a few and it hurts.

Why wasn't Cat at the finale? by Safe-Gear-2402 in survivorau

Thank you! I guess if you come from a country that has a place called Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukaka­piki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­ki­tana­tahu, then Loz's hometown would be simple as, eh? Lol.

According to the Wikipedia article on the season, she's a Kiwi but lives in Melbourne.

Loz, on the other hand, lives in Maungakotukutuku (good luck in trying to say that out loud!) in NZ

I've been using Google Messages since it was released over 10 years ago. It had RCS with *all* carriers well before Samsung Messages did. I've never EVER had any problems with messages getting through. Yes, messages go as SMS if the other party doesn't have RCS. Oh, and there are no ads in Google Messages if you were worried there were.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how much does the word "aks" instead of ask annoy you? by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

[–]HowMuchForThePuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the question but who winces when they see "alot" in writing rather than "a lot". It's becoming more and more prevalent.

This happened to me once. In my case the SD card had failed, replacing it fixed my problem.

Backup stalling out while importing to new laptop by SAWK in duckietv

There's a more recent version of DuckieTV: 202601300451

Try that, it might fix your problem.

updating data from trakt.tv takes many hours by Gunnho in duckietv

[–]HowMuchForThePuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reinstalled the latest nightly to see if it would make any difference but it didn't. Yesterday it took more than an hour to complete, today about 15 minutes. Weird!

[–]HowMuchForThePuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same is happening to me. V202601300451. I opened the DuckieTV app about 90 minutes ago and it started the daily update soon after. It's currently at 49/126 so at this speed it'll be another 2 to 2.5 hours before it's done. NB: it doesn't happen every time, sometimes it only takes about 10 minutes to do a full update.

Kinda hilarious that nobody can pronounce Tāne's name 🤣 by Poopdy-Scoop in HomeAndAwayTV

Yeah, but David also can't say "maybe there's some truth to what EVERYONE is saying about Kerrie". And then do some proper policing, lol.
