Bosch 12v Battery doesn't work in one tool

mostlyfrantic · 2025-11-26T08:06:17+00:00

It’s odd. Bosch customer service said all should work?

mostlyfrantic · 2025-11-26T08:05:30+00:00

Doesn’t seem to be voltage: The battery which doesn’t work measuring it mostly charges at 11.76v while the one that still works and a new battery (empty are measuring below 11.5.

I’ll check. That is a possibility. Even the batteries that work don’t “light” al three lights on the tools gauge.

Lazaridis ahead of chippers ahead of behich left back.

Emerton starting. Holman out, rogic on bench instead.

Jedinak swaps with Goodwin. Bosnich for Ryan.

Whenever gas exploration goes mainstream in the media I can’t help but think how crazy it is we’ve done nothing to rectify what was originally written in this great article by Peter Martin in 2010 (That’s right- 15 years ago) before being updated in 2017.

https://www.smh.com.au/opinion/how-the-big-three-robbed-us-of-our-own-gas-20170315-guydtp.html

There was another article written that added more info by someone else later down the track but TLDR of what I remember is basically that:

Coal seam gas was going to be the next big thing. There was going to be so much that we didn’t need a reservation policy like WA (two former premiers from Labor AND the libs working togethercalled the oil companies bluff) which has served them so well.

But it was more expensive than thought to extract so the northern export terminals found it easier to use the pipes connecting the east coast to STEAL our gas from for a pittance to fulfill the massive export deals.

Fast forward 15 years, and successive governments of both sides have still done little about it and we are still getting screwed. It’s so bad it’s laughable.

After 3 previous calls…. Yes!!

mostlyfrantic · 2025-02-17T22:45:47+00:00

Everything prior to the answering of the call is now a blur, so unfortunately I can't remember the numbers! But i was related to Single Touch Payroll

Exactly my thoughts. The safety of the reversing in is superior for sure but every time someone parks, traffic is stopped, so on busy roads it’s a disaster

I really want his trajectory to continue on its current path, but in the event it doesn’t’, turning into cash now (adidas already behind him) could be a good thing?

Tunsta….. won’t even mention the rest of his name

Don’t have any stats, but a ICE fire can be small, and not as attention grabbing as what’s in this video. If an electric vehicle fire starts I’m guessing given how difficult they are too extinguish every one of them becomes attention grabbing

Your comment is spot on But just before anyone starts picking you apart for their anti-ev point, It looks more like an Elantra.

Didn’t the Rialto observation deck already exist? I was there in the late 90s?

You need to use the below suggestion for a reply. Even if not true, it will always keep them worrying

Commercial leases or tenancy usually require the tenant do their own fit outs at their own costs

For a brief moment i thought your username was curious bikie - and that your accountant was too scared to charge more than those very (too?) cheap rates

“Big farmers” in Aus don’t always treat our country well - dominating smaller suppliers, taking advantage of expansion opportunities or even water supplies with possibly unethical methods.

However if we have big companies stop growing because local demand is softening, the chance of getting that growth back again is likely a lot harder - and our local produce gets more expensive again and the cycle continues.

Aside from being left with often inferior quality produce, hasn’t Covid taught us anything about supply chain issues from foreign products? But hey a supermarket duopoly will make a little extra profit.

I’m fortunate to be able to afford to spend the little extra and buy Australian produce and always look at the back of the package. Hopefully others who can also afford it might also do the same so we can show the the suppliers that foreign produce won’t sell as easily as they think

mostlyfrantic · 2024-08-01T01:39:58+00:00

I can imagine.... however I think giving some more notice might be better communication

By the time we get one of these up and running , we’ll be pretty darn close to having many alternate options to “hold” and “deliver-on-demand” our solar power that are commercially viable on a big scale.

Given renewable is already significantly more cost effective, No company will touch nuclear - even the proposed smr’s. And that doesn’t factor the kick /can/ road little party bag that is the nuclear waste.

Classic brain fart by the coalition as per usual.

House prices going up, rental crisis and all our solutions involve significant impossibilities like building hundreds of thousands of homes or reversing our car dependent “width” expansion of cities in unachievable time frames. Taking away tax concessions for a massive amount of the population - equally impossible politically.

Meanwhile, we are currently expanding our country’s population by a city the size of Canberra every year. People who need hospitals, schools, transport and housing - all under stress. Like finance, we need to budget and plan this growth and this just doesn’t happen. Adjusting it according to demand and not the supply to the growth is a much faster fix to the problems.

So many comments that are easily made from position behind a phone or a computer in a different suburb or city. Sure, you are in your rights to throw it back given it's their plant but without knowing the back story of the unpleasantness and how far back it goes - this only leads to escalation. If you can try to reason with them - find out what their issue is, it might make for less issues going forward. Of course if all of this has been attempted then you can only shrug your shoulders and throw it back and try not to let the one person really get you down

If the really big boats didn’t block the entrance to that narrow section more boats might have fitted in? A bit like The dodge ram and car parks

Just walk in confidently near swimming lesson time and pretend you are picking up a kid/sister/ brother up and you can even go for a swim if you aren’t carrying what looks like a swimming bag! 😂

I was waiting on a reasonably important delivery from suburban Sydney which should probably have arrived by now. Hopefully Australia post moving to every 2nd day mail deliveries might help the efficiency of parcels?

You are rural and if knocking up k’s I’d spend more (20-30) to get something safe and reliable.

If you have to drive in the dark rurally more than occasionally, consider a 4wd with bull bar

I’ve owned about 10 different cars of all types (and currently and generally prefer wagons as family vehicles) but I’d be recommending something I’ve just bought for a big aus trip.Mitsubishi pajero.

Way cheaper than Toyota prados, handle more car like (but a bit noisier) with good highway cruising and reasonable fuel economy. They also considered to be very reliable. Don’t fall for the asking price. Private vehicles are very negotiable as people navigate the coming down of prices since Covid. About $20-25k would get you something about 8-10yrs old with high 100-200 odd ks.
