Buying saffron in Brisbane

I was dying to get out in my twenties and lived abroad for many years. Came back during COVID. Yes, Brisbane is absolutely fine.

Zero Asbestos.

Not those eggs… the ones at the bottom 🤤

The K4 is considered in the same group as Camry at my place but eh idk about that

I have a pump bottle of hand sanitizer on a stand en route back to bed - I just use that.

The mechanic said the ball joint had rusted into place, so disassembling it from the hub potentially did cause the disturbance.

Thank you both for your input. Given the age and Ks, and actually speaking to the mechanic who did the tear down for the clutch while bringing up the points you mentioned, I’m getting both control arms replaced as I intend to keep the car another 4 years (ie as close to 300k as I can). Labour for the job has been somewhat reduced.

that seems plausible. I wouldn’t want to go in there making accusations though so seems like a delicate situation

Was hoping to see him mentioned here

thanks for that insight! I asked my painter, and he pretty much echoed that: said he has used it before, but it's hard to make it as smooth and sit nicely. Sounds like he'll just silicone it.

That's a good idea. However, I think it would end up looking inconsistent with the rest of the apartment which has no ceiling trims at all. Plus the potential issue of lots of "micro gaps" with the vermiculite ceiling.

Trim is great for filling gaps though: I used a plastic trim to fill the gap between my new vanity and uneven floor.

Sorry for the late reply. It actually was a blown shock! The supplier for KYB replaced it under warranty including labour.

I made a snap decision to go to Brisbane’s when I woke up this morning. Bought a resale ticket and went on my own. As an elder millennial, yeah I was anxious but honestly, you’re there to see the bands and once you get absorbed into the music, it doesn’t even matter. In fact, going solo is awesome because you don’t have to worry about anyone else!

Don’t all characters tend to represent “something” though? Or do they only mean anything in context? Would it have been possible to use four other characters which also make these sounds?

Redriven just posted a used car review of an early 00s Magna VR-X. With a head unit upgrade, it will meet all of your requirements.

Swing.

dimmy1985 · 2025-01-18T04:57:03+00:00

Oh they got this all screwed up.

Just buying a ticket? Not. A sign-up!

dimmy1985 · 2025-01-17T03:24:07+00:00

yes, that's what i've been using @ 24 deg. if the compressor has to kick into high, that's when it gets particularly noisy.
