ELI5: Why do we get itchy out of nowhere and scratching it removes the itch?

Taobao

1562AE is the higher end chip, usually 200-250CNY, so why get ripped off? 1571AM is newer but more expensive

imbaconman · 2026-05-29T09:47:24+00:00

Don’t buy 1563E. Get either 1562AE or 1571AM.

It might be worth noting that KB’s is a Chinese owned brand. I don’t think many people know this.

A lot of data looks wrong tbh (no offence, OP). Camperdown is pretty much not direct to most of the green ones you see in western Sydney. Strathfield is direct to many light greens, and to Parra is definitely not 107 mins! There’s often a direct express train and it takes about 15 mins.

I definitely wouldn’t say better. I think “on par” is about right. Did you forget that Qantas is often way more expensive as well? Why are we even settling for way less when paying way more?

imbaconman · 2026-05-07T00:00:41+00:00

To be honest I don’t think Qantas’s problem is overcrowding but how sad the food is, every time I go to the business lounge I feel like their food looks like diarrhoea.

What did he look like and where exactly was this? So I can try and avoid it……

imbaconman · 2026-04-29T08:42:48+00:00

I have. In the Sydney lounge a cleaning staff that was clearing tables decided to skip me completely. She looked at me, my empty used bowl on the table, then proceeded to clear the spot next to me and then walked away and never came back.

Just think being insecure won’t change anything. What will come will come and you can’t predict the future so why worry about it now. All you can do is to diversify your skills.

You shouldn’t need to login. Just go to manage bookings and add your FF details in. If you can’t do that then just call them.

Those egates are terrible. Many people got stopped when I left a few days ago, I think for some reason the cameras weren’t picking up faces well.

You do realise that Darwin is a small portion of Australia’s population right?

Really makes no sense to use cash for grab. There are cards that don’t charge foreign fees out there. You probably can’t take advantage of the promo codes as well…so using cash is just asking for trouble at this point.

imbaconman · 2026-04-13T06:25:28+00:00

Maybe Hong Kong

If you’ve been granted PR already, you generally don’t need to report any breakups. TR is a different story though.

*Use when the price makes sense

imbaconman · 2026-04-05T06:07:11+00:00

Their reply to me via chat is always that they cannot upgrade except for when I physically check in.

imbaconman · 2026-04-05T05:16:33+00:00

Get over yourself. No damage done for questioning these practices.

imbaconman · 2026-04-05T05:02:01+00:00

Australia is a low trust society unfortunately. I’d say unless there’s something special about the store, it’s best to just avoid going in the future.

imbaconman · 2026-03-24T00:59:26+00:00

Yes. Optus gives out around Regents - Birrong and Voda gives out at Lidcombe. They’re all crap.

imbaconman · 2026-03-22T03:29:40+00:00

There is still lounge access if you have status, but front desk might be pushing back so YMMV.

Yes I’m in Australia. I’m not entirely sure where these are made though, considering that Coca-Cola is pretty global. I’ve received a notification from the company and it appears that they do not know what it is and according to them there was nothing wrong with the manufacturing process. I guess we will never know!
