freddofrog42 commented on Rustic Foldable Beach Cart $59.99 @ ALDI
Immediate thought is that those wheels will sink into loose sand - not what you want on a beach?
freddofrog42 replied to rasme on Daawat Chef's Secretz Basmati Rice 20kg - $42.99 @ Costco (Membership Required)
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…
freddofrog42 replied to Senator Mendoza on [Refurb] New Battery Dell Latitude 5300 i5-8365U 16GB RAM 256GB SSD Win11Pro Touch Laptop $279 Delivered @ MetroCom
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…
freddofrog42 replied to tugman on KAMRUI AK2 Plus Mini PC Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake N100, 16GB RAM 512GB $229.99 Delivered @ KAMRUI via Amazon AU
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.…
freddofrog42 commented on 10-Year Vehicle Warranty (Up to 250,000km, normally 7 Years / Unlimited Distance) on New MG Cars @ MG Motors
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…
freddofrog42 replied to orangecarpet-22 on nbn 25/10Mbps $39/Month for 6 Months (New Customers Only, Ongoing $57.90/Month) @ Flip Connect
"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…
freddofrog42 replied to bargaino on Varta AA Alkaline Batteries 30-Pack $11.98 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store/ OnePass) @ Bunnings
No. With all due respect, I do understand batteries - Electronics Eng etc. To me, the quality of batteries has been quietly going down year…
freddofrog42 commented on nbn 25/10Mbps $39/Month for 6 Months (New Customers Only, Ongoing $57.90/Month) @ Flip Connect
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…
freddofrog42 replied to donkcat on Varta AA Alkaline Batteries 30-Pack $11.98 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ In-Store/ OnePass) @ Bunnings
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…
freddofrog42 replied to mr_asstight on [QLD] Dewalt DCK2050E2T-XE 18V 1.7Ah XR Li-Ion Cordless Brushless 2pce PowerStack Kit + Bonus Battery $299 in-Store @ TradeTools
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…
freddofrog42 commented on ToolPRO 12V Drill & Impact Driver Kit 2.0Ah $59 + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Supercheap Auto
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…
freddofrog42 replied to kev98 on ITX Ryzen 5 5600G Home/Office/Light Gaming PC with A520 AC MB, 16GB RAM, 500GB NVMe: $448 + Delivery @ TechFast
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…
freddofrog42 commented on Pocket 386 (w/ Recycled 386SX40 CPU) Works with DOS/Win 3.1/Win95 US$183.93 (~AU$285.79) Shipped @ iklestar AliExpress
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…
freddofrog42 commented on [NSW] Australian Freedom Conference with Tucker Carlson/Clive Palmer 28/6 at ICC Sydney, Bronze Tickets $50 + Fee @ Ticketek
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…
freddofrog42 replied to Clear on AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU US$81.60 (~A$123.96) Delivered @ cp u Store AliExpress
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.
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!
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…
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!
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…
Agreed. I love the taste of fat but can't get over the texture. E.g. - 80/20 burgers are great as they have the taste with fat etc. Fat in…
So sad...
Would love to but...and appreciate the humour. But they're so easy to do. Checkout a Nagi recipe on YT for the basics. That said, my last…
Used to be a few years ago, not so much now. I just make my own now.
