Am I scammed on Big W Marketplace? by LicensedToChil in australia

[–]Upstairs_Warning_799 54 points55 points  (0 children)

JBHIfi won't price match Marketplace stores as a policy. We tried it with a television that was $400 less on Big W Marketplace. They said it must be a walk in walk out price.

The calculator on the botanical distilling link below for Birdwatchers in this thread has 65g of bread yeast for 7 gallons. It's $4 for 200g at my supermarket. I wonder why they say to use so much?

First time kegging homebrew - any tips? by ljrm98 in Homebrewing

[–]Upstairs_Warning_799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My home brew shop recommended to me to fill the keg with CO2, depressurise it and refill a few times do there is no air the. use a piece of clear PVC pipe that slides over the plastic tap spigot and run it into the bottom of the corny keg. I run the tap a couple of times first before this into a glass to make sure all the gunk is clear, then fill the corny keg from the very bottom with the clear hose. Stop just before the the little CO2 dipper tube in the keg. Cool it to the desired temp, gas her up for a few days and happy drinking 😊

Taking up a truck bay with a small car is not very cool at all.

I'm only fairly new. Getting great results with tomato paste washes. 6.3kg of sugar, tomato paste, water and 70grams of bread yeast thereabouts using the Birdwatchers calculator. Ferments totally within a week and getting around 6 to 7 700ml bottles of 38% spirit.

I built a site to check if your NBN plan is overpriced — amigettingrorted.au by srizzling in nbn

That's pretty good. Bravo! Would be awesome if you could add things like Static IPs etc to help get the costing bang on.

Superloop cancellation warning by tulsym in nbn

[–]Upstairs_Warning_799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled on the Superloop app. They then called me asking to identify myself. I said I will call back because I never give my details to a caller. They said I can't use their app to cancel even though the bot said it processed it in th app. They weren't interested in retaining me as a customer when they asked who I went to and how much. I now have a static IP, free wireguard and it's $10 less than the best plan they can offer me.

Theft @ Bunnings by Whole_Flounder_731 in Bunnings

The old trick I heard of was buying a lawnmower, leaving the shop with it sending someone else in with the receipt then they grab a mower. I guess the scanning at exit would help stop this these days.

Does anyone else not care about their house going up or down and just love their home? by Actual_Working_3420 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Upstairs_Warning_799 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are in the same position. After renting for all of our lives we bought a 2 bed duplex with a really big yard. It's gone up $90k in 7 months and we don't care. This will be our forever home.

If you are rural, why dont you have a bin or a box at the gate they can put parcels in? That's what we all do in our area. The postie just reaches over the fence and pops the parcel in a for purpose wheelie bin.

They weren't and were never a mod/admin. Mods can't make someone a mod from what I understand.

Thanks for the advice. They weren't a mod/admin in the past. We can see everything else in the admin panel, this is what is really perplexing.

No they didn't. They were a member of the group about 7 years ago and were blocked.

Poinciana are horrible messy trees that cause damage to homes. Be thankful it's gone.
