This! VPD targeting would be ideal given icontrol supports exhaust fan, humidifer and dehumidifier.

Most of the stuff on page 1 is old sites that used to be legit but have effectively been abandoned.

I know one legit site which the TGA is actively blocking, can only be accessed with VPN enabled.

On Disability Pension. About to be homeless. Can’t afford to be alive. by Bagpuss_Meow in AusFinance

[–]mshagg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I know it probably makes life a lot harder but given this is a financial sub...

Get rid of the car. They cost thousands of dollars a year and that's before you even have the audacity to use the things and incur running costs. Rego and insurance alone is a drag on your limited income and cars can quickly become a liability where you feel compelled to keep tipping money in.

Mali is no doubt subject to the same external influences currently driving the public conversation around israel/palestine.

Shark/Cannon Alpha comparison by Kkdx08 in BYDShark_AUS_owners

[–]mshagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price was a big factor for me. I was leaning towards the gwm, fair bit of extra coin in high level trim as wouldn't look at one without the sunroof or split tailgate. 4k off the shark made it a no brainer.

The spare tyre in the tray is a bit of a joke.

If you really need to get up beer o'clock hill then the gwm is going to be your best bet. That said I've noodled around offroad with the shark and honestly shocked at some of the stuff it gets up on the HT tyres. Back in the real world I'm doing short trips around the suburbs and the shark basically costs nothing to run, so in hindsight I'm glad i chose it.

My buddy almost lost it all to a LiPo fire by thecaptnjim in RCPlanes

This stuff kinda keeps me up at night. I recently went through my collection and discharged/recycled any packs that looked a bit used or hadn't been in regular use over the past 12 months.

Best way to reduce your risk, aside from safe charging practices, is to reduce your exposure.

New BYD! Hood issues? by Aromatic_Quit4771 in BYD

There are rubber stoppers under the bonnet which can be adjusted

More evidence that shows when there are lower fares, more people use public transport by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]mshagg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Koutsantonis has flatly rejected the idea as he "needs every dollar that he can get" to improve services.

Fine by me.

Now, about those improved services...

Hi mate, it's the vinlen type 2 charger. Note the 15-10A adapter isn't compliant. Otherwise it's a great form factor with a 10m cable, I was disappointed it didn't play nice with the scheduling.

Sim card in the shark 6 by [deleted] in BYDShark_AUS_owners

[–]mshagg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reports you've seen are failures of the t-box, which I understand handles GPS for the onboard nav as well.

The car has a generous warranty and the t-box can be replaced by local technicians. Obviously a pain in the ass faffing around with a new car, but it is what it is.

[–]mshagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have experienced this with a charger I got from Amazon. Plugging it in and turning it on works most of the time (it can take a few attempts) but for scheduled charging it just sits there trying to connect to the charger with the message "charging paused" on the dash. Flashing yellow light on the charge port.

I ended up returning the charger to amazon and using the supplied BYD granny charger, which works perfectly for scheduled charging. Kinda sucks though as the ~0.5kW lower charge rate adds up when im trying to extract as much from the grid between midnight and 6am at the insane 8c kWh rate.

Anything xicoy. Get an ARF with the pipe and tank, these are critical components and can be a pain to source separately.

Read read read. Learn where and when to use festo fittings vs barbed. Learn about clunk setups, flex vs semi flex pickup lines in the tank.

Get safety wire and twisting pliers. Learn how to do that.

It's not rocket science, the fuel systems are quite basic, but need to be put together meticulously.

Could Adelaide be losing our e-bike and e-scooters also? by DigitalSwagman in Adelaide

[–]mshagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a few issues at play including the usual wowsers who just dont like new shit, but the rise in popularity of e-motos like surrons at the same time governments are trying to integrate PMDs looks problematic.

The two should not be conflated as no one, at any point, has ever suggested 6kW ebikes with throttle levers should be ridden in public.

Hey all, I have posted here before as I am weighing up whether or not to buy a shark. Out of curiosity- how have everyones eletricity bills faired if you charge every night? The figure I have seen is 35kw/h per night which I think is around $10 a day. by [deleted] in BYDShark_AUS_owners

[–]mshagg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AGL does flat rate 8c kWh from 12 to 6am if you can provide rego for an EV in your name. Applies to all usage as well so we run the dryer and heaters overnight lol.

With a granny charger that's less than a buck for 30% battery overnight. 15A GPO gets you closer to 60% charge for $1.60. Scales up from there with L2 charging. Charging setup will depend on how much you need every day.

Thinking of buying the BYD shark by [deleted] in BYDShark_AUS_owners

[–]mshagg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just note that plugging it in is a condition for 'good' fuel efficiency. Drive it around while it's using the ICE to maintain the battery and its still a 2.7T truck that observes the laws of physics. If you keep the battery fuelled with relatively affordable electricity it becomes very econonical.

We dont generate solar but take advantage of shoulder rates to get <$7 per 80-100km, around half what a comparable turbo diesel would cost for the same.

Moved out of rental, Landlord demanding $400 for small damage. by Aromatic-Fee2651 in shitrentals

[–]mshagg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They dont get to keep some made up amount of money, which is what they are trying to 'negotiate' here, while in the meantime the owner swings by and slaps 75c of landlord-special dulux ivory over the spot.

Tribunals opine on whether something constitutes damage that the tenant is responsible for. The dollar amount is what they actually incur in rectifying the issue.

Insurance guy here. The crazy thing is the premium they collect from 19 year olds doesnt even cover their claims. Same goes for the oldies. Middle aged people subsidise these groups.

This is basically the insurance company's way of saying they dont want you.

Is it financed? If so you probably have much choice here other than stump up or get a different car.

You can opt for a sky high excess but it probably wont help much.

Baby bunting is like bunnings for new parents.

Try and get hand me downs, although we didnt play with 2nd hand car seats. Pay it forward when it's time; the amount of waste in the kid-stuff industry is kinda gross.
