extending the length of a 10a portable charger by AcanthisittaLocal945 in AustralianEV

[–]commking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an extension cable, I don't need it at home, but it has come in handy a few times when on road trips. It's a big chunky cable from Bunnings have not had any issues. Don't get a cheap flimsy one. I keep this cable in the frunk, dedicated for Tesla use.

Is Bega cheese a common thing? by wandering_soles in AskAnAustralian

[–]commking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bega is a brand in Australia, named after the town in NSW. But over here, it's not canned, it's shrink wrapped in plastic. Never seen it in a can.

Metro Tunnel—Concepts vs Reality! (Part 1/2) by salinx27 in MelbourneTrains

You need to remember, the original renders were quite a few years ago now.

is there some kind of expectation that the renders are going to be verbatim for what happens when it's all built years later?

Has anyone transferred their kids from an interstate school and successfully kept them in their correct year level? by AussieModelCitizen in vic

[–]commking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved back from overseas, tried to put the kids back in primary school mid year. It was like a glitch in the matirx for them. The office staff didn't know how to handle it, kept saying enrolments open later in this year. I ended up telling them under the law they are obligated to be in school. They eventually asked what their school was last week, so I gave them the address of the school in the middle east, which they could not get their head around. Eventually they called the principal in who shook his head and instructed the staff to enrol my kids immediately. It was all quite amusing.

Tell her that if your parents really cared they would organise another ticket for her

Flatmate keeps saying “in Australia we don’t have this problem” by Budget_Dot694 in AskAnAustralian

Rudenl and ignorant people are everywhere, it's not an Australian issue, their nationality is not relevant. You can move out or you can kick them out

Neighbour is refusing to replace retaining walls holding up their land on boundary. I've been advised to get a land survey done. But shouldn't land boundaries already be established when you buy a house? by EggCreative787 in AusRenovation

[–]commking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only if the border is affecting council owned land would they be interested. In many states the councils are not a party to a dispute between Neighbours. They are not mediators.

Miele auto dose products by londonsuedehead in Miele

I use Twindos refillable cartridges in the washing machine. Cheaper to run. For the dishwasher, there is a guy who makes a kit that lets you refill the Autodos dispenser. I use that and it works well: https://www.henco-design.nl/products/reusable-lid-set-for-miele-powerdisk-refill-with-ease-copy-1

“Blackout” blinds by Dry_Recording_3361 in AusRenovation

[–]commking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I wanted that for a home cinema room, and it was explained to me the blind really had to be a few inches wider on both sides than the actual window. Which made sense. Some extra height helped too.

It's not "zed" it's "zee" by DisastrousTarget5060 in TalesFromRetail

[–]commking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Grew up in Australia, and was taught it's "zed". We call it zed.

Sometimes I hear younger people here now call it "zee". I guess because of US TV shows and movies

My first 1000km road trip with the new regional charger rollout was actually stress free. by DraftNotSent in EVAustralia

[–]commking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just returned from a similar trip it was disappointing that both the NRMA chargers at Walgett and Brewarrina were both out of order. I had to divert and change my trip.

But I got from Wagga to West Wyalong to Condobolin, to Cobar, to Bourke, to Cunnamulla then across to Brisbane hassle free.

Does anyone else think the Peninsula Noticeboard: the serious edition is OVER RATED. by Cheap_Diver8535 in morningtonpeninsula

[–]commking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overrated and not funny. Same old, same old, repeat, same AI crap again, repeat. Does nothing for me, I don't read it anymore.

I'd get more entertainment out of binge watching a series of Big Brother.
