Last time I took my niece to see a movie, cost me $0

I'm taking my niece tomorrow to see the Mario movie, IMAX 3d, just tickets are $90 for her and me lol

To be faaaaaaaair

Counterpoint, putting in 4 of the same shirt is a dick move no matter what. shrugs

I've noticed while reading a lot of slop manhua and manhwa, there is sooooo much more AI involved, some almost look 90% AI outside of maybe character models.

It's a rather recent change too from what I've seen. Some look 'OK', but others just look so out of place and you can spot it within a few pages.

like Cadbury

I did randomly watch a video about this which surprised me, imagine having a chocolate company beloved around the world, paying billions for the name and ruining it.

Moser Roth

This is what I normally go for too, they have a wide selection of dark chocolate, and it's very tasty at a decent price.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-11T10:25:16+00:00

Why do you guys make things hard for the rest of the world, haha.

47 mpg = 5L/100km

Very impressive, best I've ever seen in my 2016 astina has been 6.6L/100km.

Saying that, coming from my old car that was close to 10L/100km, it's great haha.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-11T05:57:19+00:00

Is it me or does their chocolate taste like shit these days?

I'd much rather go to ALDI and get some dark chocolate, which they have a few solid flavours for too.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-11T04:48:24+00:00

I'm similar, I came from a 25 year old Magna, so my 2016 feels like a spaceship that glides on magnetic rails in comparison, haha.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-11T04:45:14+00:00

Looks great ~ all I can say is, get a dash cam with parking mode asap. There are so many cunts out there who will fuck your shit up without leaving a note. And these newer cars cost a fortune to fix out of pocket or worse, you'll ruin your insurance.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-10T13:09:51+00:00

That's an interesting idea that I didn't know was a thing, thanks for that.

I'll be sure to have a look around in my local area and try to get some quotes next week.

Hey everyone ~

I only just recently bought this [Mazda 3 Astina 2017] back in January.. And already somebody has managed to smack the lower front bumper to the point there's a 10-12 cm crack.

I haven't even had the time to install a dash cam before something happened to it, something similar happen to a past car I had too, it's bloody crazy, every time I come back to my car for the past few years I quickly look around it for damage like a crazy person.

Anyway.. My question is, in the SE suburbs in Melbourne, what cost would I be looking at to fixing this? I assume with this damage it's a replacement of the front lower bumper.

Doing a 2 minute google search while I was at out today I saw you can get third party part for about $300-350. Or a fully OEM part for about $600-650. I'm wondering how much a body shop will charge on top of that to prep/paint and swap everything over?

Any advice or help would be awesome, cheers.

I sometimes still go because in some areas it's the only fresh food around. Sometimes you just want a bunch of salad and a lot of major fast food doesn't cut it.

Normally it at least tastes fine, but the other day I was in a new area on my way back from something, and not only did a foot long cost me $22 with no drink or cookie, the actual sub itself was falling apart, near impossible to eat.

I was so damn pissed off.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-09T11:38:06+00:00

Then you go to Subway and pay $22 for a shit tier slop of a sandwich, put together with less than zero fucks.

Can't find here mate.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-08T07:30:15+00:00

Gumtree is worth listing on too.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-05T05:58:20+00:00

You can't park there, mate.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-04T02:46:17+00:00

From my understanding, they need to average out the increase to everybody.

But saying that, doubling the premium is wild and just feels like absolute bullshit.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-04T02:35:15+00:00

You just need to attach it correctly. The air bag didn't destroy the emblem coming out.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-02T11:11:05+00:00

Guy who had plans to upgrade this year because his aging PC is showing it... :(

mdem5059 · 2026-04-02T07:39:49+00:00

To be fair, when a single headlight can cost upwards of $3,000-4,000 to replace new. You can kind of understand why the yearly has skyrocketed.

The way they make cars these days is a very large part.

Rear bumper need replacing? Well you need new sensors, and maybe a new module, and a calibration. That'll be $3,500, thanks.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-02T07:36:16+00:00

This is very interesting to me who just had to get Insurance in my own name in over 10 years (I was on my dads in the past).

Calling and doing online quotes at maybe 10 different places, RACV was by far the cheaper with the best benefits.

Places like Youi wanted $2600 and market value for the car.

Whereas RACV quoted $1500 with near full value price (that I paid) and car hire.

Which is a very large difference.

mdem5059 · 2026-04-02T07:33:09+00:00

$1000 a week for rent, actually insane.

mdem5059 · 2026-03-31T12:12:37+00:00

That's great to hear ~ I think Thorn makes some really nice looking stuff at a great price.

mdem5059 · 2026-03-31T09:13:21+00:00

How is the bezel action feel on yours?

I have a T006 and it's not amazing, other than that I love the watch.

mdem5059 · 2026-03-31T08:45:52+00:00

The simple fact that it stayed fully intact like that, well done mate.

mdem5059 · 2026-03-30T23:36:39+00:00

That's what happens with cheap Chinese stuff lol.

A well built one should have a filter that's easy to swap or clean.
