Aglet commented on Seiko SNE587P 'Night Vision' Prospex Divers Watch Sapphire Solar $559 ($539 with Signup) Delivered @ Watch Depot
Great looking watch, and solar, too. Cracker of a typo in their blurb: "The sapphire crystal face is encased by a one-way rotting bezel".

I'd be happy with HL Alyx, but it's only playable with VR.

Aglet commented on [eBook] "The War of the Worlds" by H.G.Wells $0 - Free Kindle Edition @ Amazon AU, UK, US
Fun fact: the area southwest of London where the fictional Martian cylinders land is Horsell Common, so a lot of the early action would…

garage sale on Astell&Kern A&futura SE200 Digital Audio Player $1250 Delivered @ Addicted To Audio

Depends, I guess. I have a Mazda with the factory fitted Bose system in it. Sounds pretty ordinary. But if I plug my Fiio M11Pro into the…

Damannation on OXO Good Grips Balloon Whisk 28cm $11.89 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $39 Spend) @ Amazon AU

One problem I've had with other whisks is that the handles (usually wood, or metal) are too heavy. Finish whisking, leave the tool in the…

M4festio on [Latitude Pay, Pre Order] Panasonic Bread Maker SD-R2530WST $239.10 + Delivery @ Harvey Norman

I retired a few years back and started baking my own bread. In the oven. Even though I have time on my hands the reasons I bought a…

The dial does NOT photograph well. It really is spectacular. That would be a great looking watch on a calf strap. I don't mind the standard…

It's annoying for sure when that happens, but as you say also annoying that many of Samsung's new Galaxy Watch 4 features don't work unless…

In fact it's beyond that - they are only happiest when fully charged. I had a Mazda MX-5 that was only driven occasionally and kept it on a…

karseeeejaaaa on R.M. Williams Comfort Craftsman Boots - G & H Fit $459.99 & Free Shipping @ THE ICONIC

It can be hard to define. Iconic Australian? Hmm... maybe. Appearance? Well, that's subjective. I can confirm they are a quality item -…

maverickjohn on [PS4, PS5] July 2021 PS Plus Games - A Plague Tale: Innocence, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, WWE 2K Battlegrounds

It's gory in that you will see for example people being devoured by rats, or the remnants of those that have been attacked or died from…

happyhammer on [PS4, PS5] July 2021 PS Plus Games - A Plague Tale: Innocence, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, WWE 2K Battlegrounds

A Plague Tale is very unsettling, largely because you're playing as a very young teenage girl. I don't recall any jump scares. You won't…

leiiv on 365 Day Long Expiry Pre-Paid Phone Plan (Unlimited Call & Text, 145GB Data) $200 @ Woolworths Mobile (Online Only)

Agreed, my local greengrocer is considerably more expensive than the local Woolies. It's just up the road so I sometimes buy there rather…

Yep your experience is why I'd never want a touchscreen if there was an alternative. When fumbling around for a remote while watching telly…

Good deal, opt, thanks. They were a great little remote and the software for programming was quite simple and mostly intuitive. The reason…

Laila11 on [Afterpay] Samsung 75" Series 8 UA75TU8000 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV $1389 Delivered @ PowerlandAU eBay

I bought a Sammy about 5 years ago. It lasted a couple of years then went Bang! with white smoke and smell and all that. I can't remember…

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd give mineral glass a tick as well. Poor choice of the bullet symbol for bullet points I guess. Great watch…

Wardaddy on [eBook] The Great Dune Trilogy: Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune by Frank Herbert $4.99 @ Amazon AU

Which ended up being seven books written by Asimov. I thought all of them were well worthwhile reading, and drew to an excellent conclusion…

AlexF on [eBook] The Great Dune Trilogy: Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune by Frank Herbert $4.99 @ Amazon AU

There was a Dune mini-series, which sucked, but also a 2003 two-parter called Children of Dune. It was both Children of Dune and Dune…

The screen on the Show 5 can be REALLY dim at night. I like a pitch black room too and have no trouble with the screen brightness - or lack…

Ahh, the serenity...

Yep. Oh well. Was going to get a Classic in red just now. Will have to make do with my black Metro - which is not quite big enough when…

Did you check your spam folder? My order reply from macpac (as a guest) definitely got shunted into spam by the software.
