I had a few installers claim Panasonics *nowadays* have a servicing problem because parts are no longer held for not-terrrrribly-old…

Same here a month ago. This issue is not affecting all MVNOs using Optus. I'm not even sure it's affecting anyone. There'd need to be more…

The personal liability cover for this is lower ($1m) than typical for most policies ($1.5-3m).

It's only laundering if people are buying the cards with illicitly obtained funds. Anyone using a card to buy these (which is the only way)…

No. Yes. Don't use them for any transactions that could get messy. You don't want to be dealing with unexpected fees, or refunds for that…

The "security" on these cards is very very fussy. I've often had to use a VPN to be able to pay or to view the giftcard details. It's worth…

The offer says five per day. Where is the max 2 rule from?

It depends on how careful people are, so somewhere between 2 and 5 years with frequent use, I would say. Longer with very careful use.

This is a fairly good set of pans. The price is a fairly common occurrence (and has been for a number of years: I bought the set for this…

Totally agree about the warping lids.

I don't know about the current situation, but Surfshark Mel/Syd servers were largely unusable last year due to excess traffic and use by…

You might find it is blocking your IP address. Happened to me recently. Try on a different network.

The site in general works, it's the attempt to access a card by clicking on the email link that displays an error message at the top of the…

The mybalancenow.com site currently shows a system error when trying to view the details of a newly purchased card (clicking through from…

I thought they were identical until I did a side-by-side tasting. The Aldi ones are very close but not quite as good (but the diff is…

Useful links, thanks:)

That website is faaaaabulous!

There is very little robust evidence to support the idea that canola oil is problematic. The popularisation of that idea seems to come…

It's really important to apply it according to the instructions. I found it useful, but not miraculous. After about 18 months the effect on…

This looks like an updated version of the previous Kulinarisk top-priced model (I think there were two variants: steam or pyrolytic…

If you use flour slowly or have large amounts, storing it in sealed containers in a freezer is good too (if your freezer has space!).

But that's not quite true, @JimmyF. If the booking does not have assigned seats prior to the opening of online check-in and the flight has…

You didn't mention it, but I assume you tried to actually assign seats for yourself in the Qatar manage-booking interface?

I have been happy with Clickhost (https://clickhost.com.au/) and VentraIP (mentioned above). I did not have a good experience with Obble.

Given the massive fees associated with Etihad bookings using Velocity points, it wouldn't be a wise use of points.

Depends on the state, I believe.

Thanks for mentioning that. All the major retailers I had checked online only had a wired version, so I had assumed there was no battery…

It's such a pity they have to be wired. Recommendations for good battery-powered alternatives would be appreciated.

It's comfortable. Their Premium Economy has a hard shell seat so you recline within your own space. Leg rest rather than just foot rest.…

I don't watch the market, so I'm afraid I know nothing about constitutes a good deal, sorry. As for storage, I really think teaching…
