That's what we spent in China in the 90s. But even then, Shanghai cost a lot more.

Who buys this crap? For that money you could get a very nice real e-bike, or a near-new second-hand 100cc scooter, or new motor scooter…

Why not just use a marker pen? Have people forgotten the "old ways"? Don't own a pen?

Make it 20, and you can run DeepSeek at home. > Free shipping excludes WA, Well. That's my order cancelled.

Why does nobody specify brightness in colour modes? Most of them are very dim for colour, except Hue and LifX. How is this?

bargaino commented on Why Aren't There Any Black Market Alcohol Shops Like There Are Cigarette Shops?
When I was a young'un, a few shops (e.g. "Re" store) legally sold "Hoyts essence" for $5/bottle. It was 80% ethanol, 375ml or so,…

Nobody ever died from smoking chop-chop. OK millions died a slow, painful death. Just not immediately, so they don't care?

New Mac mini and macbook air are great value, but not the phones.

While these are better than a cable lock, it is a bad design. Having the lock part stick out like that presents an easy attack vector. It…

Deta is a brand name.

A house. In the 1990s.

The latter. It is fashionable to slag off Colesworth, but does Australia really have room for another big chain, given the economies of…
