Any stand-outs for kids? They all look like the kind of stuff that tries to install on Android phones on an accidental click.

Point Lookout is a really decent DLC. The rest, especially compared with the masterpiece that is New Vegas, is kind of meh.

Thanks for your replies, everybody. The PDS mandates contact only if my licence is cancelled or suspended. The word ‘demerit’ doesn’t…

Here’s an odd situation. I received a speeding fine - my first ever - just after buying comprehensive cover from RACV. The incident,…

So invading and committing genocide against a neighbouring country is rational? Hitler could be pretty eloquent, too, from what I hear.

Aside from the bit where you’re visiting a violent, totalitarian country at war with its neighbours.

I appreciate the offer. What’s a straightforward system that I could just plug in and play? We have bunch of 4TB hard drives with our…

Thanks - I’ll research NAS. Plex were hopeless in terms of support. I emailed them about the problem and they immediately initiated a…

I know nothing about this device. I am from the 19th century. Can I use this to stream movies from my desktop PC to my smart TVs? I tried…

Mate, time to find a hobby.

Thanks. I’m not keen to travel much because of the baby, but we’ll find plenty of day trips.

Thanks! We will. Might even get to catch up on some reading while wide and older kids are out gallivanting.

We got one of these for $150 secondhand. Amazing. Wish we’d had one for the first two kids.…

Mate, you can just press the neg button and save yourself two weird paragraphs.

I wouldn’t know where to start! Some places like El Salvador, Mauritania, Uruguay, Macedonia, Turkmenistan etc etc etc I found probably…

Thanks for the suggestions. She’ll be 10 months old by the trip, so still a baby.

That’s good to know - thanks. However $64 times five people times two (for the return), plus airport transfers, puts quite a dent in the…

It’s one of the reasons I’m not keen to travel round much inside the country. Baby just needs to survive drive to and from the airport.

Thank you!

Odd take. This is a family trip. We travel to a place I’m fond of and get to experience a small slice of it - Saigon - together. Hanging…

Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like this: https://youtu.be/rgc_LRjlbTU?si=2vJLZxYrYRU1yBKa

No. I’ve done plenty of travel - probably 140 countries by now - and I’m happy to hang out with the baby at the hotel. I took a year…

I used the current Jetstar sale to grab some tickets for Saigon next March. We have three kids - 10, 7 and 1 - and haven’t really planned…

No issues with the refund. It came back on my card straight away.

Any good alternatives to Plex? I bought a one-year subscription last week but couldn’t get it to work on our TVs. I cancelled for a…

They’re McSmart-arses with the McSmart: you have to hunt around to find it. Even the front counter crew sometimes don’t know about it.

Brain damage kinda sneaks up on you, doesn’t it?

But the software uses the iPods Pro headphones. Try connecting some $40 AliExpress junk and see what happens.

I use a simple algorithm to determine whether fast food deals are worth it: small beef patties are worth $2, big ones $4, eggs $2, small…

You can upload your audiogram and the headphones will adjust frequency response to accommodate hearing loss. I’d like the people here…
