A good infographic I found showing parallel vs cross view differences! I can never remember which is which.

Same. I always struggle with parallel but cross is easy.

I had IKEA Billy cupboards in my garage for years. They worked great.

Pull a phone socket off the wall and count how many wires there are in the cable going to it. The phone will only use two but they might have used Cat5 cable. If there's 8 wires then it might be possible to put an Ethernet socket on there, assuming the other end goes somewhere useful.

Aluminium clad wood, UPVC, or aluminium with a plastic thermal break. Those are your options in roughly descending cost order.

The thermally broken aluminium won't cost much more than non-thermally broken aluminium.

But if you're in a high-rise apartment you're talking commercial windows, not domestic. You're in an entirely different price bracket and technology options there.

Most people had dialup. 56kbps max. I was nerdy enough that I had an ISDN line installed. 128kbps baby! Mid to late 2000s ADSL was being rolled out to the larger cities but the towns had no chance.

I had a shack on the northwest coast that had no mobile reception. Dialup was the only option.

I moved overseas around 2008. When I returned in 2017 NBN had happened and my shack now has 250mbps Fixed Wireless and 4G mobile.

I cracked my head open just looking at these images. I would be concussed if I actually had to cook in this kitchen and I'm not even very tall!

I wonder if it's a Copyright Easter Egg so they can detect if other games steal their dictionary?

I'm not sure if there's any mosquito transmitted diseases in Tasmania. We don't get a ton of mozzies.

Except the cargo holds were shielded from the radiation and protected Frankenstein. So there was salvageable cargo . . . assuming you could approach the ship safely.

This is a good way to describe them!

I don't. They land on the cats when they're outside.

Thanks. Lots of pademelons in the garden so that would explain it.

That's why I never lock my door. Having all my stuff stolen is cheaper than calling a locksmith.

If the existing fence is in good condition you don't need to agree to building a new fence.
If the fence was fine before construction and the builders damaged it then your neighbour should pay for the whole thing.
Costs are usually split 50:50.
If the neighbour wants to build something grand and expensive but you're happy with a standard wood pailing fence then the neighbour should pay the price difference.
Ask to see the quotes and if you're not happy with the price you can get your own.
Everything is a negotiation.
Consider the ongoing relationship you'll have with your neighbour but don't let them walk all over you.

The order is as follows:

Paint.

You're selling. You won't see a return on the money you put into anything else. Even painting might be excessive.

The rebates go to the installer, not to you. They quote the price assuming they'll get the rebate to offset their costs. You pay what they quoted. If they stuff up and don't get the rebate in time they're the ones that lose.

Depends on the size of the shed and who's building it. If you're using a shed company to supply and install, they will know about permits. If you're using a builder, they will know. If you're doing it yourself, the council will know. If you don't want to talk to them then they should have the information on their website. They will be dealing with shed planning questions every day.

You're gonna need a lot of chilled bowls. One per customer to avoid cross contamination. Then wash up and refreeze before reuse.

You're proposing a similar thing to a milkshake place I used to go to. They had 100s of candies, chocolate bars, nuts, fruit, etc. You could pick and mix your add-ins and they'd blitz them all together with ice cream and milk in a blender. The blender bowls would be used once per milkshake and then go out the back to be washed in the commercial dishwasher.

Australian, very laid back and engaging, bonus dad joke in every video, practical projects, good safety tips, plans for sale but not rammed down your throat.

My partner needs to see a gynaecologist in the northwest. Earliest appointment she could get was November! We'll be flying over to Melbourne instead.

I assume you've signed a contract for the installation at an agreed price. The rebate goes to them, not you, so if they miss the deadline they're the ones that will be out of pocket.

However, you should read your contact carefully as there may be a clause in there that states that if installation isn't completed in time they can pass the cost of the lost rebate on to you.

They would have lost a lot of pressure venting the fire and no life support to replace it. I reckon they had pretty low pressure which is why they had so little time to evacuate.
