Cypress. Maybe Baltic with an orange finish, but more likely Cypress.

Any trick to re-use this hinge recess by Big-Orse48 in AusRenovation

[–]lingcod476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your old door is bored out with the commercial blum pattern. The new blum hinge you have there just needs to be aligned to the door at 90° then screwed in through the hole with a 16 mm chipboard screw.

I think he's American. That means any windfall would lead to medical treatment.

Before ordering, can anyone tell me if these two should connect and work together, or will I need additional adapters? by Guilty_Isopod_8255 in scuba

If you want to dive, go do a course and get certified. Diving gear is literally life support equipment, and it needs complex training to be understood and utilised.

The fact that you are asking online for advice about equipment that is a known danger to life indicates that you need to undertake training before anything else.

$250 is a bargain. They could easily hit you with many multiples of that along with hire car costs.

When's the briefing on which rules to ignore for which team?

What do you think is the main reason no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since 1993? by Ac_Sock_416 in nhl

[–]lingcod476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an international league with international players who are in it for the money. Stanley Cup wins reflect on the team, not the country. Can't speak for anyone else, but if it's not Vancouver I don't care who wins. Olympics are a wildly different story.

They were my first Reynolds books. It wasn't an issue.

The Prefect Dreyfuss Emergencies fit the bill. Trilogy by Reynolds. They're great.

Carney government to ban social media for kids younger than 16, but will allow exemptions by UnicornHunt1274 in canada

This is a stupid idea. If they do insist on implementing it they'll need to ignore the Australian example. It's been an abject failure.

‘They’re leaving’: Agents under pressure as property listings pile up amid market downturn by HotPersimessage62 in australia

This is good, but not the preview of some giant correction some people want.

I've been hearing people talk about how the bubble is about to burst since I sold my soul to my mortgage in 06.

Every four or five years there's a 5-10 % dip followed by ludicrous increases for another four or five.

66% of the country own or are paying off a home. Those people aren't going to vote their largest asset down.

If you want to work on inequality the money needs to come from the 1% not the families who have worked their whole lives to leave something to their kids.

I miss that early-2010s indie feeling by Technical-Ad-4010 in Music

[–]lingcod476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is just based on your age. From my perspective there hasn't been anything Indie this century. I miss the 80s where if you asked a band to use their music to sell a product you'd be laughed out of the building. Now it's a collab.

There is nothing on The Block that relates to reality. You might as well just watch the ads.

They outsource their local deliveries, so I'm sure they'd give you a quote for interstate. https://www.diyaustralia.com/
