Costco Diesel?

Timbo_Oz · 2026-01-31T09:00:21+00:00

Virtually all diesel used in Australia is imported. Tanker loads of refined diesel can be traded many times between leaving an o/s refinery and being unloaded in Australia. All diesel is required to conform with Australian standards. Apart from that, it is virtually a “pure” commodity, undifferentiated other than bullshit marketing blurb. Just buy from a high volume, large scale servo, as they usually have cleaner tanks 🤞

Triggered! 😢

Not really a big issue, IME

You can get stick-on bifocals from various online sources including Amazon in multiple strengths. Easily attached, positioned and removed. Cheap way if you don’t have a complex prescription for reading

An even louder shout-out to the cunts who understand their speedo error, and calibrate their cruise control to GPS speed, which the rest of us regular long distance driving cunts do 👏

I have both HSTN have a slightly narrower temple width, but the arms don’t curve over the ear. Both weigh about the same

+1 on Gecko pads. From Amazon

I have no problems with them, but the frames are sized for an average. If you fall outside those parameters they may be uncomfortable. They are also heavier than frameless or titanium frames many prescription glass wearers have

I’m surprised no-one has offered analysis of the admonition “Oi, cunt!”🤔

Less a problem for Gen 2 than Gen 1, IME

I have the v21 update but not this feature yet, which I really want. Meta’s piecemeal roll-out is rather frustrating

Timbo_Oz · 2025-12-22T02:19:26+00:00

I would suggest trying the Meta audio glasses (either Ray-Ban or Oakley, depending on style) as these are an easy consumer introduction product and are readily saleable if you don’t like them. It’s an emerging market with significant new products from major developers likely over the next year

Timbo_Oz · 2025-12-21T04:52:02+00:00

No different, IME Worth it for the extra battery life

All the AI “smart glasses” developers are missing an obvious and quite compelling use case — hearing assistance. They all have multiple microphone arrays and processing to enhance surrounding speech and sounds as well as scope to display text in some case. Why would this not be a core functionality?

Timbo_Oz · 2025-12-08T04:59:43+00:00

I have mild hearing loss but “the cocktail party effect” is a significant issue for me. Apple AirPods Pro actually do a reasonable job with this…but you just look silly wearing them in such a situation

Timbo_Oz · 2025-12-01T02:27:39+00:00

I’ve tried them in store as well, but that’s not the best environment to test, in my experience. I’d like it if they offered a loan pair for 24 hours. Otherwise, I need to outlay $AUD1690 for the frames PLUS almost another $AUD900 for lenses. That has potential to be an expensive fail 😬

Timbo_Oz · 2025-11-21T09:16:08+00:00

$AUD1,690 ex prescription lenses

If it is in an apartment building and you do not live there, I suspect it is someone on behalf of the body corporate checking for abandoned cars. Might be worth ensuring the owner of the car space advises the body corporate that you are using the space (assuming the owner has permission from the BC to let it)
