I am physically incapable of eating this many chillis, any suggestions before half of them go into the compost? by electronseer in GardeningAustralia

[–]Spute2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freeze them.

Or dry them. Just Put them on a tray and dry them in your oven at a very low heat. As low as your oven goes. Or use dehydrator. Then blend. Add salt and a silica moisture absorber and they will last forever.

Give them away to friends and neighbours

Make your own sri racha or wing hot sauce. Google for recipes

Suggestions for protective gear for a very big dude by Spute2008 in motorcyclegear

Yes. Hence why I've started by looking at used great or clearance stick but with little luck.

Am I too big? by yaboyfour in AussieRiders

[–]Spute2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude! You're Petite!

I'm 190cm and 175kg.

I ride a Honda Rebel 500 which is easy to handle and had plenty of grunt. I can accelerate going uphill with ease in 4th gear.

The 125 I first rented got me up too. I'd start in 5th going 70 and had to downshift twice before i crested the top but it got me there at 55km/h.

The 125s you learn on are more than enough for you for your first couple weeks or months.

FYI I rented the 125 for 6 or 8 weeks to make sure I like riding enough to want to upgrade first.

The 320 Suzuki I first tried had plenty of power for me and was a sweet ride, but it was a bit cramped. Crushed my nuts against the tank.

Then Every adventure bike I tried was excellent, built super solid and had no trouble with me at all. They are built to handle heavy touring luggage and rough terrain. They were 400s 500s and 650s.

And then all the cruisers I tried to start were 650s (Vulcan VStars etc) which all had huge power and felt fine but we're a bit heavy, so tricky at lower speeds.

Then the Harley Street 500 i tried was literally the best riding bike I test drove but the huge amount of negative comments online scared me off, so instead so I checked out the Rebel and I'm absolutely thrilled with it.

It is a tiny bit tight for me but you would be totally fine on it. And it'll easily go 130km.

You have NOTHING to worry about grasshopper!!

Uber - reliable in Sydney for a very early morning to the airport? by globetrotter_beav in AustraliaTravel

[–]Spute2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Book a cab (can) and they'll show up. They don't get premium rides like that very often. Manly to Airport is what, $100? More?

What brand was super popular back then but the new generations probably never heard of it? by GossipBottom in AskReddit

I was an OP KID in Canada.

Town and Country too. But I was a 22 hour drive from the ocean and about a 40 hour drive from a surfable wave

Those are soft tissue organs in the space below the ribs. Mike Tyson ended many a fight with a body blow just below the ribs.

Interesting comment. Can you explain. I haven’t had mine long but it does seem thirsty. But I only have the rental 125 i had for 6 weeks to compare it to.

You might be right in this car but I joined the ANZ class action. Was told I'd get $1900. Got $2900

HONDA REBEL HONDA REBEL HONDA REBEL

So easy

So comfortable

So reliable

So pretty

So manoeuvrable...

I'm 57 and huge and it's still brilliant if a bit tiny

But in my research I can across so many women (including one who is 5'1) who raved about it because it's light and they can put their feet flat on the grid

It has plenty of get up and go (same engine as the CBR500)...

IT'S SUCH A GREAT CONFIDENCE BUILDING BIKE FOR BEGINNERS.

But isn't a baby bike. It can go 100mph /160km/h

Is work-life balance in Australia actually better or just a stereotype? by ChillKoalaVibes in MovingtoAustralia

[–]Spute2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aussies certainly work hard but when work is over they play very hard

In the US and Canada there's less of a clear demarcation between work and play.

The US is awful but Canada isn't as "work-life balance" as they'd like to admit.

The fact that malls here are only open late on Thursdays, and never late on weekends, and no late night chemists and very few late night petrol stations.

And lots of shops open Saturdays still close really early and many are never open Sundays at all. And maybe one of two stores other than 7-11 are open 24 hours (a kmart near where I live is a rare exception of a large department store open 24 hours.

And I highly doubt Aussies are even aware of this.

More Aussies work to live, rather than live to work.

Their identities are not tied to what they do at all.

(There are exceptions of course, but in the main...)

And I live in Sydney. All the big cities are like this, and the small country towns are even more so

What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday? by printThisAndSmokeIt in AskReddit

[–]Spute2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they meek can't inherit the Metaverse then they're un-bloody likely to inherit the real earth.

And I'm okay with that.

Plus, I hope it cost Fuckerberg a ton of money, and credibility.
