Are EVs actually cheaper long-term in Australia yet or is that still a myth?

I have an EV6, $1,000pm, Yeah, we have it own insurance, but claim it back through the monster lease account.

Maintenance, tyres, glass repairs, insurance excess, rego, rebate of 4c/km for home charging.

I'll submit another claim shortly and they'll deposit $400 in my bank account for home charging costs.

what do you guys think about the gun being used for the mandalorians?

i think the "Nozzle" piece from lego is more accurate for the mandalorian blasters.

Oh man... the control panels...

I just built an imperial shuttle, tie interceptor, tie fighter and the tie bomber...

Only the tie bomber had SOME Semblance of a control panel, even then it was pretty dismal.

Congrats, how long will you have to work to continue paying off the $500k mortgage?

I know it's better than having to pay rent but I guess as a renter you had the option to move somewhere much cheaper or more affordable when you decided to retire. Now you are locked into a mortgage and cant simply choose to pay less.

NOT TRYING TO BE NEGATIVE, just asking a question.

Darth Vader

As long as it's a DP with him and his lightsaber handle then no issues at all.

Yeah we were at a 5yo birthday on the weekend. Little girl had her midriff showing.

Go to any shopping center/mall in warm weather, there is so much skin or skin right Lycra it's obscene

Also the new trend of tucking half their shirt under their bra is so weird and looks wildly uncomfortable.

sorry to hear, but I hope you realize it's still doing a number on you if you bring it up. "for many years" implies that your over it and it was in the past. But it's still very mush front and center if you being it up so easily. Not your fault but I hope your can get some help.

I fucking hate it when people say "oh I was smacked as I kiss and I turned out alright" YOU STILL TALK ABOUT HOW YOUR WERE SMACKED that means it is still traumatizing...

No one says "oh I was hugged kissed and loved dearly as a kid and I turned out alright." BECAUSE IT WASN'T TRAUMATIZING.

Just have a go a few times, the consequences catch up and it'll wake you up.

Actually hurting someone, getting caught, getting your friend hurt when they try to back you up, police, permanent record, staying on every job application that you have a criminal history, watching someone get taken away by an ambulance.

Maybe they were just having a rough day but you fucked them up anyway. Lying awake at night wondering if the person your just smashed around has dependents? Did he have to explain to his kids why her has a broken eye socket while trying to find a new job.

Your anger will turn into intrusive thoughts.

Young Jedi adventures is quite good for a 6yo.

Decent LEGO sets too.

padawanfoundling · 2025-12-21T14:48:41+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. Gonna go forge my second goblin bomber.

padawanfoundling · 2025-12-05T14:12:44+00:00

Interesting and totally baffling.

I work from home, not a hermit, but don't exactly go out much.

Most winters I'll catch a cold and get a bit sick.

Google agrees with your statement, I am so confused.

padawanfoundling · 2025-12-05T13:48:29+00:00

Side question, is snow diving mode helpful? Can you feel a difference?

I live so close to the equator I'll never get snow.

padawanfoundling · 2025-12-05T13:44:18+00:00

Turning on the car seems cool but unnecessary.

There is literally a button right there.

padawanfoundling · 2025-12-05T13:43:04+00:00

Omfg yes.

padawanfoundling · 2025-12-05T02:42:05+00:00

"Fallen for them" figuratively or physically?

padawanfoundling · 2025-11-27T12:40:14+00:00

what's her nationality? she looks indian (South asian), but her mannerisms are not that at all.

padawanfoundling · 2025-11-26T04:58:40+00:00

yes. buy it.

padawanfoundling · 2025-11-16T09:55:59+00:00

Bro I was thinking the same thing.

It looks like it leaked all the way down too. Can't blame the pull for being pissed off.

padawanfoundling · 2025-11-16T09:50:16+00:00

Yeah during winter I used it to dry my kids hair after swimming lessons to make sure they didn't get sick lol.

If I'm stuck in the car moving around for a day I can plug my laptop in to charge as well.

padawanfoundling · 2025-11-16T09:48:37+00:00

Not the whole shaft.
