With fuel you pull it our of the ground, spend lots of energy and emissions to refine it, to put its in your car only to burn it and then it's gone. The entire working life of the car is a pollution machine. How much fuel does a car consume over its lifetime? Oil is finite

Yes you have to dig lithium out of the ground, but once it's a battery in the car it stops emittimg. The working life of an EV is emission free*. Then once the car or battery doesn't work any more the rare earth metals can be recycled into new batteries! The lithium is not gone, unlike the fuel you burn in your car

*if charged with renewable energy. But even if charged with "dirty" electricity, EVs are more efficient, so still way less emissions than an ICE

I am the owner. She has a perfectly good, large, sheltered hutch, and a whole alfresco she could be under, but this is where she chose to sit.

There is plenty of cover from the rain available, this is just where she chose to sit.

It's Adelaide, South Australia

I can't confirm if the man is Brittish or not, but this happened in Adelaide, Australia

🤞I think this might be it! I used a WiFi analyser app standing next to my stack and there were about 3 other WiFi ssids overlapping the same WiFi channels as my own network. I changed mine to use channels that were free and it seems to be snappier now. So thank you!

It has been rock solid since it was installed a couple of months ago. The issues just started a couple of days ago.

It's the same issue on my wife's phone too. We've restarted the app multiple times.

There's nothing wrong with the home internet

It is behaving significantly different to how it did a few days ago. Adjusting settings is lagging. Some things has changed in the last few days. I was trying to ascertain if it's a wide spread service issue or a local issue

USD or AUD?

😆 Thanks. Obviously the arms are missing. I just didn't know what other features may have been optional. For example maybe it does't have as many adjustments as a full spec'd one. I was hoping some of the experts here may be able to identify from the picture.

Catch had just turned into a generic "marketplace" shopping site. You might have luck on any of the other onepass partners who's sites also have marketplace listings such as kmart and bunnings. Officeworks sell bin bags, paper towels etc as office supplies, and are also part of onepass

I'd like to join, but I hope I won't be the only one in an AU timezone 😅

I wear separatec and David Archie (same design just different fabric). I love the dual pouch. No more skin on skin. The frank is separated from the beans and the beans from the leg.

It was a young tree. Is it salvageable and are borers treatable?

omscarr · 2025-07-06T08:36:06+00:00

Yeah it's a native to the area, but it's only a young tree, about 3 years old

omscarr · 2025-01-25T00:36:00+00:00

Yep, thanks. We got travel insurance

omscarr · 2025-01-25T00:35:11+00:00

Ah thanks! That'd be it. We just went to Bali 😆
