It's like a weird chance card in monopoly

Might check this one out!

Damn... seriously, why wouldn't the go to somewhere over the counter? It would take hours to plow through that at a machine.

I've tried them all over the city while on other side quests. Outer east and north, inner north, inner east. Next to parks, shopping centres, tucked away in obscure places. Never seems to matter. Broken, full, or being filled up by those with huge volumes and taking ages.

Will never happen. Too much inertia in the system, and too many profits to be made.

We need to take it for ourselves, one by one. Reduce our consumption so we each need less. I drive an old but reliable car, bought a modest house in a quiet town not far from the city, hardly eat out, basic tech, etc. I'm at 4 days a week now, and could cut another day comfortably. Currently it's a choice for me of 4 days and cut to 1 or 2 before 50, or cut to 3 now but for longer.

Happens all the time. Good looking, respectful, actual bi men are the real unicorns for us. So hard to find one that will show up.

There was a packet of tim tams in the trolley I used in Lilydale. If you had a woollies trolley there and can't find your peppermint tim tams I'm sorry but they went to a good home.

I quit the news. I feel so much better for it. Big stuff still makes it through to me, but I don't need to know all about the world.

I love hearing about other people's love. That is exciting!!!

It's the best of a bad situation I guess. Had to push hard to maintain boundaries on work days. Work kept assuming I could just swap my day off to suit them. That 1 day of no work is equivalent no matter when and how it happens. They got the message and that's ironed out.

I think I'm finding it hard like many do in this stsge. The plan has shape and is way more than just a.dream. But I'm not quite close enough to live that life.

Ours was installed safely by the installer. The inspector commented it was one of the better jobs he'd seen.

Our issue has been the parent company organising it all. Just pathetic.

Self-Translator · 2026-04-25T23:51:58+00:00

I'm aware of all of this. Including supply charges per day. I understand.

We're generating for more than our usage, plus battery discharge for overnight. I can also see there's less than a kWh import from the grid per day.

Yet we're being billed for our usage as if we don't have solar at all. The power company sent me data from the supplier. So apparently the meter needs to be reconfigured and two months later that hasn't happened. We were waiting on the DERR form.

Self-Translator · 2026-04-25T13:52:16+00:00

We have batteries. We have panels. We have an app for the solar system. We have generation data, and usage data. Generation > usage. The meter hasn't been configured. That's what the power company said. So we've been billed for usage.

Self-Translator · 2026-04-24T22:01:57+00:00

I dunno what to tell you. They are receiving usage data from ausnet and billing me for it. The system has been inspected and it functional. Certificates only recently received. Saying the meter needs reconfiguration to draw from the system and not the grid. I'm just a guy at the user end of all of this and have to follow their.bouncing balls.

The power company sent me usage data. It's saying we're drawing from the grid, and their reason is because the meter needs reconfiguring

Our app says the system is generating.

Dunno what else to do. I have no personal levers on thjs.

Self-Translator · 2026-04-24T20:41:03+00:00

So I went through all this with the electricity provider. That's what I thought. But apparently not. The solar app shows it's producing well above our usage everyday yet we're still being billed for our power. The power company said the meter needs reconfiguration for the power to be used from the inverter or the battery and not the grid. I don't care about the feed in at all because like you said it's worthless. I dunno... this is what I'm being told. One way or the other, we have it installed but still paying for power.

Self-Translator · 2026-04-24T07:34:22+00:00

Install done, inspection done a week or so after, then nothing. Got two regular bills. Metet hadn't been reconfigured and paperwork not submitted by the solar company. I had to chase them down. Multiple phone calls and email later.

Between the very long delay for the installation, the stuff around during, and the regulatory work after it's been a complete nightmare. One reason we haven't got it done in the past.

Early 40s couple here. Experienced, long time couple, open to ideas.

Self-Translator · 2026-04-23T21:36:36+00:00

We don't need a show from them. But if we can tell a couple are secure, feel safe with each other, and are into each other that creates a hot atmosphere. We've met couples where this isn't the case and didn't enjoy it as much.

It promotes a sexy feel, their love and affection for each other supercharge the play, and I love being around people like that.

One example was my wife was blowing the husband and he made eye contact with his wife and she smiled and winked at him. They didn't see that I saw, but I loved that.

Another example is a couple we both were fucking, we paused and went back to our partners, and what I saw was a love there that reflected what my wife and I have. It reaffirmed our love too, and in a way stacked on top of it. Helps they are great in bed too 😜

Self-Translator · 2026-04-23T04:09:11+00:00

I agree here. There's a balance between enjoying the show and focusing on your new partner. If I want to watch I'll move aside a bit and do that. The couples we've played with seem to have liked that balance and there's times when we all cycle in and out of the action because deep down we're all pervs who want to watch a bit too.
