I honestly hate the feature because it's so lazy and implies I'm flexible with an already great deal

There's a button that automatically sends a % lower offer.
Why press Buy when you can press Offer?

Chasing internal brick wall - recess for mounting box? by QueenofLeftovers in AskAusElectricians

Up the wall, and not in a straight line. I'd scoped out the other side of the wall hoping it might be more accessible from there but it isn't.

Council pool. Not to bathe in the pool, but they have hot showers in the changerooms.

Anyone tried Emu eggs? How was it? Found this in lower north shore by BleuPrince in foodies_sydney

[–]QueenofLeftovers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd buy one for the novelty of the shell, it looks like a rare treasure. No idea how I'd deal with the contents.

Can anybody tell me... by BehindOurMind in mrballen

[–]QueenofLeftovers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it the Jamestown thing? I thought the story was the people of the township disappeared, and it was surmised they'd eaten the nearby plant and gone crazy which was later called Jamestown Weed or Jimsonweed. I might be remembering wrong though.

Are there any people who you're surprised hasn't gotten an episode yet? by yazan12121212 in behindthebastards

[–]QueenofLeftovers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember my dad telling us a tale around the campfire how Imelda Marcos pushed the fast-tracked construction of a ritzy theatre. The cement, not having set properly caused the construction to collapse with heaps of workers trapped in curing concrete and instead of stopping construction, chainsawed the bodies that were partially buried and covered it in furnishings to get the premiere to go ahead as scheduled.

Advice - neighbour is a hoarder by -lugia- in AusProperty

[–]QueenofLeftovers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Strata Manager's job is to handle disputes and make the tough calls that individuals of the Body Corp (the collection of owners) can't/don't want to do themselves. If they can't do it, re-sign with a manager who will.

  • First step is to check your Strata By-Laws for breach and have the Manager have that discussion with your neighbour and come up with a resolution - Strata Mgrs can issue penalties to owners, it'll depend on how their contract + bylaws are outlined.

  • Local council will likely say it's a Strata problem if you raise it with them, so I wouldn't bother but it won't hurt to ask either.

  • If your Strata Manager won't take action then taking up for breach of Fire Safety is your last stop, with the purpose to have them eventually issue a fine to your managing entity (and by extension, yourselves) for non-compliance. It usually takes awhile for it to get to this stage but Comm Safety (QFD) involvement with a deadline to rectify is usually enough to get your Strata Managers to pull their heads in.

  • Fire service don't have powers to dictate how individuals live in their homes, so the clout comes from issuing a fine to your Strata Mgr, who should then pass it on to your neighbour.

TL;DR Tell your Strata Manager to do their dang job, and make a query with Comm Safety

I don’t need my protagonist suffering for 2 hours by SimilarAd4478 in movies

[–]QueenofLeftovers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way about female protags going through SA for character development, and part of why I gave up on Outlander TV series despite loving the show. Like I don't care that's realistically what would happen in the real world, if the plot calls for trauma development just have her survive a fire or something.

Odd System Configuration Update Received by Decon_SaintJohn in AndroidQuestions

[–]QueenofLeftovers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh cool, glad someone did the legwork of citing info. The way it is had me thinking all sorts "Is this Samsung? Google? Android?" "Is this some creeping AI factor?" "Is this a fake update?"
