Thanks, already had their massive 'sport' version. Will be nice to carry this in a backpack.

gguu on Blunt Metro Compact Umbrella - Navy (Sold Out) or Black $71.40 + Delivery ($0 Delivery with OnePass) @ Catch

Had one break (I was rough on it, my fault really), they repaired it free of charge, including shipping to their centre. Was impressive.

Inferior cells (won't have the same longevity)

kxy1983s on Metabo 100mm 4" 750W Corded Angle Grinder $49 + Delivery ($0 with OnePass/C&C/in-Store) @ Bunnings

Yeah, Bosch is what our factory used. That's what I'd recommend. This is out of stock now anyway.

Not sure if I could be bothered churning with another Sim (how much does that cost?), waiting for this to delivered, swapping it out, etc,…

Maths Debater on Boost $365 Pre-Paid 12-Month Expiry SIM $320 Delivered @ Boost Mobile

Especially during peak times in regional areas. Back to dial up speeds at times.

wisdomtooth on Vodafone $35 25GB (60GB for First 6 Recharges) 28-Day Prepaid Plus Starter Pack for $10 Delivered @ Vodafone Online

50gb? That's useless when I'm downloading over 100gb in one go. I only use Optus for my second data sim, it's often garbage from congestion…

Ah, that explains it. Thanks, I was a bit confused there.

That red star on it means that I buy anything else. What a strange world where that's blindly accepted.

spock on $95 Cashback with Optus 12-Month $320 280GB Pre-Paid SIM (Currently $230) @ Cashrewards

Complete opposite here in Regional Vic. My Optus Sim essentially stops working during peak times.

Shitforbrains on Anko Ice Cream Maker $49 (was $99) + $10 Delivery ($0 C&C / OnePass) @ Kmart

Honestly worth it just to rip it open and use the compressor for diy purposes. Amazing.

Keep your carrot tops, onion, garlic & lettuce bottoms, potato sprouts & seeds from fruit. It's pretty fun to utilise food waste like that.

bagachin on $7 off Pickup/Delivery Orders at Thai Restaurants (Min Spend $20) @ Menulog (App Only)

I've been using them pretty regularly for years. Getting at least 30% off the retail price is compelling. No idea if/how they make a profit…
