Maybe they're siblings buying for the same make-believe mum.
SydStrand commented on Pump Dryers Suck
No problem with mine. Either your model sucks, or skill issue.
SydStrand commented on Xbox Series X 2TB Console Galaxy Black Special Edition $899 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
I think the paint job is pretty nice. But it's barely a deal. The cajones of Microsoft to even think about charging $1000 for this in a…
SydStrand replied to xmagic on Sonos ARC Ultra Smart Soundbar $1588 (RRP $1799) + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Videopro
These are not comparable. The Arc is a four year-old model so is at the deep discounting phase of its life cycle vs the brand new, two…
$450/day is cooked. I literally hired a car (Outlander) 2 weeks ago after a fender bender from Budger and it was $480 for a week.
What do you do for work? I can't think of a single thing I'd use AI for, professionally.
It's basically the 2024 version of this [all-time classic.](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/743033)

OP waited 5 years to post this.
Sonos is great if you can afford it, like the aesthetic, and prepared to go all-in. My living room is Arc/Sub/2x Ones, with a couple of Era…
No. They released second and third round offers for people if someone else declined to proceed with their order, but it was always for…
SydStrand replied to Maz78 on LEGO 10316 The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell $829 Delivered @ Tates Toys via Everyday Market
Aaahhh, yes, the old Lego 'markup' like paying for design, licensing the IP, and non-slave labour.
SydStrand commented on Forced Seat Changes on Airline
Recently had a similar situation where I booked an aisle seat and a stranger was at the window. We thought we dodged a middle passenger…
SydStrand commented on What Happens to Amazon Returns?
They get on-sold by the pallet, usually to third parties who use them to stock refurb stores, and occasionally to random people. There's an…
SydStrand replied to linkindan on [Windows] Free: WinX DVD Copy Pro V3.9.8 Lifetime Licence (Was US$67.95) @ WinX DVD, China
Last country video store I ever went into was a desperate retail hellhole that stocked only three things: DVDs, durries, and Funko Pops.

Cool, can go with my free copy of WinRAR

You were driving too close, or would have had enough stopping distance. Yes, he slammed on his brakes, but people do this for reasons…

I get that you don't like this, but this is a complaint without merit. Sony made limited numbers of an anniversary product. No different…
Well, you can resort to eBay scalpers, but the retailer pre-orders are well and truly over. Sony never re-released the retro colourway…

Everyday =/= [every day](https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/everyday-vs-every-day-difference-usage)
SydStrand replied to BrotherEstapol on Ozito PXC 18V Seed & Fertiliser Spreader - Skin Only $39.79 + Delivery ($0 in Store/ C&C/ OnePass/ $99 Tools Order) @ Bunnings
I own a fair amount of dubious Ozito gear, but this takes the cake. There are similar [manual seed…

I've done it before. It had to be put through as a refund, then purchase in same transaction, but they were happy enough to do it.
SydStrand commented on Quality Pots and Pan Set
> I see at the shopping centre huge price reduced kits but I’m not sure if they are good quality? You're probably talking about House,…
$150 for 5 piece set is suspiciously cheap. Even a single pan from a 'chefy' brand like All-Clad is more than that. If you're looking for…

SydStrand commented on Hybrid Wood Floor - A Good Choice?
I had hybrid in an old rental and didn't like it. Some people swear they can't tell the difference from wood, but I absolutely could. It…
It's fine, but not exactly mind-blowing, and I'd struggle to pick this out from a blind taste test. Taste-wise, it's definitely not worth…
SydStrand replied to Widget on LEGO Icons Lion Knights' Castle 10305 $579.61 (RRP $599) Delivered @ Amazon JP via AU
$179.61? 4.5k pieces? Pure delulu. This set is significantly larger than prior castles. There is a more reasonably-priced 3 in 1 Castle…
Bruh.
