    Apple Airtags

    My cat, and collar tag holder just from Amazon or Ebay. But when you "play tone" it's very quiet (worse when battery is old)

    Also had bizarre maths at Swissotel syd last month. And she was using a calculator!... kids (or schooling) today! Your case, maybe halved the initial bill ($82 incorrect rounding) then subtracting instead of adding back ½ the $14.

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    I'm learning; Google results (so there, must be true) indicate that having more panel kw than the inverter, undersizing, is allowed in au to 133%, and may actually be desirable for efficiency.

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    Good question, found this (Qld)... "The Solar Bonus Scheme offering a 44 cent per kilowatt-hour feed-in tariff is not available to new customers. If you currently receive this tariff rate (and maintain your eligibility) you will receive this rate until its expiry date on 1 July 2028."

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    That's interesting about the quality. Rebates would be nice but I presume not. This conversation has enthused me again; I'll clean and if that doesn't work get quote for 2kw of new panels keeping my fit

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    Yes plenty of cowboys, probably still are. I did a lot of research, used an asx listed company, and got good service before their receivership. Don't know the panel brand, I'd have to partly unscrew one, bit cautious, not sure of the voltage!

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    No I'm not sure, just what I was told if I went ahead and bought a new (much larger) system. Currently 1.6kw panels, 2kw inverter, about 50c fit so based on my very low usage a larger system without grandfathered fit would actually increase my bill (if my current system actually worked...

    Solar Panel, Power & Battery Discussion

    My 10yo system is down to ¼ it's original output, of course the installer has gone out of business. (Cleaning the panels made no difference). Local (N/W Brisbane) solar business didn't want to check/service it, said that "I" (or maybe really "they") would be better off installing a new system...

    What are you reading right now?

    Coincidently ½ way through it (library ebook), no slow bits imo, interesting relating the time of events with what I was doing and living, in blissful ignorance. Like as you say in the 80's, Reagan's rhetoric affects... Previous read was this... the effects on some individuals of ASIO...

    My interpretation of those signs has always been they're advising...if you see a gap take it otherwise you'll have to wait 2km

    Article: The Benefits of Sitting at the Back of the Plane

    Is that true? You're sitting at the CofG, the Centre of Lift, and the turbulence is being created primarily by the affect of different air pressure/air direction on the wings. But this is not my field. But in regards to yaw, absolutely agree.

    That's interesting. -Net Interest Margin about 1% higher than big 4, but quality of their loan book in order to get that higher margin?? -But, Loans in arrears about 1% higher (although not sure if that's comparing apples with apples), -Lowering interest rates might reduce margins for all the...

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    Depending on the premium you have to pay for 2 x one-ways in Y and with the good J prices above, there may not be much difference in $ by purchasing 1 x return J with $ and 1 x return J points. Edit... just read your later post, not much premium there for one-way

    Looked at Judo a year ago as an anti cyclical buy, but wasn't comfortable buying into a small business lender in an economic downturn. I remember even WBC almost went under in 1990s (had to raise capital @$3/ share). Missed the boat now. A big consideration is whether bad debt provisions are...
