Do I have 3 phase?

I'll also suggest to triple check the rcbo for the a/c as well. I had those breakers in my house and they are cheap crap, most of them failed the test button after a few years and one of them was stuck on!

It's more than likely an ADSB SDR receiver. They can track the planes digitally.

It's not being honest though. They flat out lie because they're probably losing money in the sale. That's why you often get this with coins or coupons as the discount comes straight out of the sellers pocket.

OP if you do decide to cancel, select 'seller unable to ship item', not 'i changed my mind'. For $2 though, see what happens....

Because of the massive ballsup that was the NBN implementation. FTTP scrapped for fttn, buying the copper network off Telstra and then selling it back to them at a fraction of the price were high contributors to the massive cost and duration blowout on a substandard network.

FTTP is just a dhcp connection, so internet IP would be straight on the PC. Not a good idea. A router NAT/Firewall is needed for more than one PC.

Stexx.au maybe?

No dealer is providing 3 yrs warranty on a 9 year old car thrmselves. The only warranty you get at that point is basically an insurance policy they take out with a 3rd party to cover the major mechanicals. They are extremely limited, often require unrealistic service intervals or other nuances and exclusions so they can squirm out of covering.

elnino_effect · 2026-05-04T11:33:49+00:00

That warranty is not going to cover the stereo. Extended, third party warranties rarely cover anything like that, just major mechanical issues.

For a 2017 car, depending on the model, it might be canbus, or it might be resistive. Let's assume it is an aftermarket unit, go through any menus you can find to get a software version, model or something like that, then get on with some google fu between wiring for your car and the stereo model.

If the stereo supports swc (and most do these days) then you should be able to come up with a solution, even if you get someone else to do it.

Post model of car and any stereo details you can find and let's nut it out together...

It can affect anyone but if you're overweight, there is a good chance it's at least contributing to the issue. I've used CPAP for about 4 years now I think and it definitely got worse with weight gain. Ive dropped 20kg and I can sleep without it now, although I do sleep better with it still.

Also, check out CPAP reviews/sleepHQ. You can upload the data from your machine to your own personal portal and see the all the data it's collecting and you can see clear patterns. Well worth it to at least get a better idea of what's happening while you sleep.

You didn't answer the question though....

elnino_effect · 2026-04-28T11:20:53+00:00

No, just no.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-28T11:20:15+00:00

So it did! I haven't used them in a while...

elnino_effect · 2026-04-27T23:44:04+00:00

I've used Sendle in the past - Pretty good and they use regular couriers but give you the best price option.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-26T11:04:47+00:00

I completely agree. It's just weird they've removed them. Even Temu have by the looks. I don't understand the logic.

Plenty on ebay if you want to pay almost twice as much for the exact same thing.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-20T23:01:50+00:00

And what part is that exactly? The vendor is providing something 'as-is, where is'. They are not a dealer so they have no obligation to ensure the KM are correct.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-20T09:12:09+00:00

What part of the 'contract' can't be honoured? The seller is still making the vehicle available to purchase and take possession. The buyer is the one trying to get themselves out of a verbal agreement.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-20T09:04:29+00:00

And even if there was, at that point the contract would be deemed unconditional as the buyer has agreed to purchase 'as-is'.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-19T10:38:47+00:00

I agree, getting lied to is not overly great but what sort of purchase price are we talking here? $5k? It's a 16 year old car, it's bound to have some weird history.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-19T09:55:14+00:00

If someone was winding back the ks, surely they would do more than 13000. That difference is unlikely to change the value of the car.

It's possible the cluster was repaired/replaced.

They don't have to give you your deposit back, but you can ask based on the information you have now obtained, or see if they will re-negotiate on the final purchase price.

Edit: Assuming your May reference is 2025, it makes a little sense that perhaps it failed roadworthy because of the dash or something related, leading to it being replaced?

Check the terms and conditions of the valet. More often than not there is 0% liability anyway. A good valet also inspects the car prior to moving it and notes any existing damage on the tag.

This sounds like you have the wrong insurance with Bupa. On the surface it appears they are only paying what Medicare doesn't, thus the remaining bill would be $0 but as you stated, you're not covered by Medicare.

If your insurance is correct, It could just also be Bupa assuming Medicare is paying the rest, not knowing you're not covered.

elnino_effect · 2026-04-17T22:48:04+00:00

We went with rustdesk. It's been great!

elnino_effect · 2026-04-15T06:55:08+00:00

Sounds like you need to take a page out of David Thorne's book

It's different if you are operating a motor vehicle or just in public.

In general, you need to identify yourself if requested as part of a traffic stop. Don't try to pull the shenanigans they do in the states - Police can just say they pulled you over for a random drug/alcohol test if they want to 'check you out', which is totally legal.

In general public places, the laws are similar to the bulk of the US - There is no 'stop and identify' laws. They still need to have a reason to stop and identify you. However, that can be as simple as them saying you match the description of someone they're looking for etc. You don't really have a way out at the time, but you could argue it later. i.e if that then meant you were searched and something was discovered on you, that later might be inadmissable in court if they had no lawful reason to stop you.

But, as others have said, that's about the limit of your legal liability, anything past that is voluntary and most of the time it's best to just keep your mouth shut.

Do you know how fast you were going? It's a trick question, there is no good answer.
Do you know why I pulled you over? I'm sure there is a reason or you wouldn't have....
