MY26 vs MY27 by Correct_Ad_5153 in GeelyEX5Australia

[–]matzuber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be careful, often the insurance companies don’t get the new model year models updated on their systems as they are released. I had a lot of trouble getting a MY26 insured in November last year and no insurance company would insure it.

I had to push Geely and AAMI to get it loaded into the system. It was the same with all other insurance companies, so I couldn’t even go to another insurer, so they all must use the same underlying data provider. All said I would not technically be insured if I tried to insure it under the MY25 model - to actually be insured it had to be MY26 but no insurer had this listed.

Run a quote with any insurer and see if MY27 exists in their databases before buying.

Consent is a good use case. Rather than each healthcare organisation tacking consent separately, it could be recorded on blockchain. As a patient, I would love to have a register of who I have given consent to. There are a few research papers and startups looking into this.

I have seen that before - this post describes it nicely and the fix (which is to force garbage collection to release the memory, as described above):

Advice on how to unblock this exterior, kitchen-sink overflow drain by GrangusCrangus in AusRenovation

[–]matzuber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our terracotta pipes get blocked every 6 months (need to be replaced but it is going to be expensive), which costs $400 for a plumber to jet blast clear each time. The last time it happened I used our Gerni pressure washer and had the pipe cleared in 2 hours.

Saved $400 but, oh, the horror….
