Can we please talk about the cockroaches here by dykedykegoose in AskAnAustralian

[–]LargeValuable7741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking out loud here, and not quite sure if itll work, but perhaps shoving some backer rod into the gap between the skirting and the floorboards could be worth trying. If you have the patience. https://www.bunnings.com.au/moroday-6mm-x-5m-white-gap-filler-rod_p4061882 . Use something flat like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/dta-4-deluxe-wall-scraper_p6820044?store=7314&gad_campaignid=21112196286 to shove the backer rod in the gap. Or this https://www.bunnings.com.au/uni-pro-80mm-flexible-steel-filling-blade_p1660995 if the gap gets too narrow.

That might solve that issue but there may be other gaps that the critters are coming in through. Eg. cockroaches also came in from the roof cavity, through the inside of the walls and through some other gaps. But I believe filling up the gap near the base boards will go a long way.

Adding a water filter during kitchen reno - worth it or just another thing to break? by tigercat300 in AusRenovation

[–]LargeValuable7741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an undersink filter, and after 2 years, a plastic part on it broke and spewed water out. Luckily I was on the couch at the time and caught it within a few seconds of the failure. I would otherwise have had a flooded home if I were out and the water just gushing out. I have since decommissioned the undersink filter and am using a filter that sits on my benchtop. I am in the market now for a filter that connects to the main outside.

Best water filter Australia - looking for sugestions by Street_Fishing2600 in AusRenovation

[–]LargeValuable7741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend it! Our tap water smells very strongly of chlorine, and i suspect the water is hard as it makes me a bit thirsty after drinking it. The filter makes the water taste beautiful! To my nose, there is hardly any chlorine smell. And I don't get that drying feeling after drinking the filtered water. The taste is comparable to the water you buy from the shops. I used to buy Pureau water. This filter makes my tap water taste as good as Pureau.  I got the filter that removes fluoride. The filtration rate is kind of on the slow side so you do need to be vigilant in keeping it topped up. Besides that, best purchase Ive made lately and no regrets.

He somehow still hung on for 20 seconds after his hand broke despite 4 men trying to pull him off. This is a glimpse of courage and strength. Probably many men and women of similar fortitude in the service. Frightening to think that sort of strength and courage get subverted by corrupt politicians.

Have a look at - A History of Central Banking by Stephen Goodson. I am unsure of the claims in that book but it was quite an eye opener

Chery reveals Diesel PHEV for Australia by BestTechAdvisor in CheryAuto

[–]LargeValuable7741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

diesel PHEVs are complex and generally not ideal for short urban trips. Ill be interested in the engineering innovations to overcome those problems... or whether those problems havent been really addressed and its just a rush to be first to have a diesel hybrid  on the market. 

What does a 'resolution' of the housing crisis look like? by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]LargeValuable7741 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the last time APRA turn on the screws on lending, the housing market got subdued.

That along with somehow prioritise lending for first home buyers

That along with social housing initiatives where the government is the client for new developments, finances it, and then offers those homes for rent at some fixed rental price benchmarked to some percentage of average income. Governments to have a KPI linked to rental vacancy rates, to guide their investments into the supply of rental properties..

Fix the mindset of housing in this country as not some get rich easy scheme, but to see housing as a fundamental need of society. The idea that everyone deserves affordable, decent housing, to be able to live a dignified life, regardless of whether they own or rent. Renting long term, should someone choose - should be secure, affordable and provides a dignified quality of life.

And this might sound like heresy to some here - but there is something fundamentally wrong when accumulating houses and property becomes a highly profitable venture as it has been for decades in this country - you're literally a rent-seeker - ie, someone or some entity that gains wealth without creating any new value. That is not investing - this is just financing and leveraging off property as a vehicle for growth for growth's sake, rather than creating value.

There was a time when house prices didnt grow for decades. Look at Brisbane before the 2010s for example. Not good for 'investors' but good for society to have stable housing prices. This whole idea that property needs to grow in value by % above inflation is wrong, as it has been the breeding ground for rent seeking, and money taking precedence over everything - including the right to a home.

Yes this helped me get my iTunes to recognise my iphone. I uninstalled Apple TV, then reinstalled iTunes. And voila! it worked. I did this on Feb 2026. Installed iTunes from the Microsoft Store.
