While there is nothing wrong with Wise itself, it is a good platform for sending money overseas, which is the end purpose of a lot of…

Shows as "from $931" for me. Is the $572 in US Dollars?

So your suggestion would be install more cameras to help fund more police on the roads?

They've long been banned from check in luggage, because they can catch fire there and it is worse because it is inaccessible.

Typical airline logic. Response to a powerbank catching fire in an overhead locker - you can't use powerbanks anymore, but can still put…

From my personal experience, lots of reliability issues with first gen EVs, charger, controller and battery failures, seemed much less…

The $2 Telstra sims allow you to activate and port in without adding any credit. (fairly well hidden option if I recall correctly but it is…

I suspect this hire recovery is a big factor in insurance costs rising recently.

I've been seeing LR and Performance Model 3s regularly on car sales for around $40,000 (mostly dealers) so depends on whether you think…

All I know is there was no increase for me with several quotes. Insurers work in mysterious ways.

Not for me it didn't, no change to the online quotes anyway. Probably varies substantial based on your age and previous history and type of…

md333 commented on Car Insurance - to Claim or Not to Claim

MaxStinge on [QLD] Scott Spark 970 Dual Suspension MTB $1,999 (Was $3,799) @ Just Ride Nerang (in-Store), Bikeline (Contact for Delivery Fee)

Sounds like my 2005 Scott, it has a weird Scott shock that operates in extension rather than compression. Lockout stopped working around…

Yes, they are quite expensive, can't remember how much but shouldn't be hard to find online.
