My Ariston RD80 with Linn Basik arm and Rega cartridge loves this comment. The RD80 is a bit like a cheaper Linn LP12 - I well remember…

I still have a pair of Tevas from 1998, they did the Annapurna circuit including about 500M over snow as I couldn't be bothered to take…

See my reply below. Ours is effectively a dumb TV but no issues with it. Picture is fine and sound irrelevant as we use a dedicated 5.1…

Chiq is a Western branding name for Changhong which is a massive Chinese brand. It's a bit like LG really stands for Lucky Goldstar rather…

Immediate thought is that those wheels will sink into loose sand - not what you want on a beach?

All of them - it's a warehouse savings deal that runs until Oct 27th. Very decent rice for the price although not as good as India Gate…

When I buy a used car I often use the tyre brand as an indicator of what care has been taken. I wouldn't avoid a car purely on the tyre…

Some "funny" comments here but if this belt fails then you're quite likely to cook your engine or at least have no power steering etc. The…

It will even charge when turned off with a USB-C phone charger. Not enough power to charge whilst on but makes it more flexible for use…

Me too. I was of one the few that got it for $55.99 AUD and it's been fine for me at home running as an HTPC. Nov 2023, 24/7 to this date.…

I'd be really interested to see what warranty parts availability will be like in 2034 for a 10 year old current generation MG3, especially…

"Is it just the thrill of the bargain for most or what?" I suspect in many cases it is and I'm guilty as well but when it comes down to…

No. With all due respect, I do understand batteries - Electronics Eng etc. To me, the quality of batteries has been quietly going down year…

This speed is perfect for many users. Far better a stable speed rather than 4/5G etc. Pings should be decent, maybe 6/8 m/S and that really…

One of the main reasons I've moved across to Eneloops or the IKEA equivalent is that they seem to more resistant to leaks. In fact…

They're up there for sure. Maybe not the best but how can you define that? In many case it comes down to personal opinion e.g. "I'm a…

My thanks to the OP. Order just confirmed and ready for pickup in Penrith. I normally use DeWalt for big jobs but these 12V tools have been…

I can't see why not - the motherboard clearly states 3 outputs and the max resolutions and all are 4K or above. 2 x HDMI and 1 x DP. I've…

I still have a Toshiba Libretto 100CT and it still works, even the battery has some life in it. Running 98SE from memory with a period WiFi…

Just no. I like Americans in general, have lived there for 4 years and visited 39 states but will NOT go back there ever again unless the…

These work fine for workstations or HTPCs. Using one right now with 3 monitors at various resolutions/orientations. I'm using a Asrock B450…

Might be worth a try as 29% meat in a party pie is a very good amount of meat vs pastry/filler etc.
18/06/2024 - 00:21
Tried those last week or so as they were on special so why not? Bad choice - they were terrible. The pastry was just rock hard and the…

A couple of years ago they were identical in all measures etc, so the same basically re-badged, i.e. the same product with a a different…

Many seem to think that National Pies are pretty good, I've never tried them - would love to see some comments!
17/06/2024 - 19:41
Yep, they work well. I have one myself but generally make larger pies but yes they're great! Leftovers are perfect for pies, already…

It's a controversial topic. Opinions vary. Personally I've had no issues with exposed red meat (beef NOT chicken etc) in a normal fridge…
17/06/2024 - 19:25
Accept that but if you want decent pies you need to work at it. I do use basic store-bought pastry etc so it's not too bad. It sounds like…

Tried them - we were not impressed. I must be the pie police tonight!
17/06/2024 - 19:02
A few years ago they used to be +30% beef etc. 32 from memory? This was pre-Covid and they were great. Now sadly a bit more like beef…
