    What cheeses me off

    Yeah, I actually scored the makings for nitro glycine from chemistry class at school. After some research, decided against trying to make something that is extremely temperature and humidity sensitive in a Queensland backyard. Had a mate who scored a cube of sodium - he has the scars to prove...

    pph is %, for anyone who understands... In any case, it's a ratio - meaning there are no units. or perhaps the units are irrelvant. it's a ratio. mumble mumble - moles/L

    I reckon it's probably the other way around. Gold FM rely on BOM or maritime weather forecasts for their news reporting hey? This is a percentage concentration in solution. Nothing to do with SI units. Not sure of your specific example; but 5 ml of liquid (e.g. water) has a weight of 5 grams or...

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    The same for me, heading off in 11 days or so, UK and Europe. The death of my USD citibank account is really annoying as my per diem for a few days is in USD. The way rates are going I think I want to be paid in USD not AUD

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    Interesting thread. The Citibank Plus account isn't dead, you know. They are only closing the foreign currency accounts. While that is super annoying. The AUD citibank plus product will remain open. I noticed the discussion about rates etc. I have a feeling that since NAB took over the rate...

    The USA doesn't measure in imperial. They use washing machines, american alligators and, well, I've seen one meme that suggests measurement of length using that thing that hangs from males. Imagine a timber beam 242 D!#%$ long... I did wonder how they calibrated...

    Japan - VA or QF, or JQ

    Row 3 has noticeably more legroom than rows 4 or 5. I reckon they could almost take 2 inches (maybe 3) from row 3 without having to change much at all. That's not the full 6 inches required for your suggestion, acknowledged I guess the limitation is the guide things where the seats are...

    A variation of this when looking at hotels in Paris. Pictures show bedding - sheets and such. Description says bedding not included.

    What cheeses me off

    Yes. I understand that. The problem is that phone will not access the videos on the camera when connected to the camera wifi. I'm not trying to access the internet using the camera wifi (seriously is anyone that dumb?), I'm trying to access the videos on the dashcam. It used to work and then...

    My car dashcam has wifi for easy access/download to videos. When iphone is connected to the camera wifi I get a warning to say the wifi isn't connect to the internet, and the iphone refuses to do anything sensible in accessing the camera data. This started happening after an update... You...

    Japan - VA or QF, or JQ

    China airlines and Eva air have good pricing. Return in business for the cost of qantas business one way. Negatives - 6 to 19 hour transits, and looks like an airport change in some cases. I skipped reading the entry rules for Taiwan. I'll keep those on hold. thanks for the suggestions. Watching...

    Velocity points now worthless in 2023 (extreme stealth devaluation)

    Seriously, I'm not sure you've read any of my posts. The limited information I've provided in thread was stated with clear conditions. the only way to claim that info is false is to ignore those conditions. The value of points is entirely about cost. What value do I get for my points? It is an...

    Japan - VA or QF, or JQ

    I don't know about a product launch. I based my view on the domestic product, I find virgin business meals to be consistently good. Having said that my recent flights to cairns suggested catering was loaded for the return in Brisbane. So not sure of the catering departing cairns which they will...

    Drip Feeding???????? Isn't this called Revenue Management. Virgin Australia didn't just invent this stuff in 2023. It's been around for years and years. IATA even offer training courses in Revenue Management. https://www.iata.org/en/training/pages/revenue-management/

    Japan - VA or QF, or JQ

    I've check Q and pricing is looking pretty good. ~$2100. I could probably buy a lot of transfers for $1000 ANA and JAL seem to only fly from SYD. Which might be good - first lounge. Pricing in economy is comparable. JAL is doing something funny with premium economy flex pricing. But Flex...

    Japan - VA or QF, or JQ

    After following along with the VA flies to Japan thread. I've now hit a point of actually having to decide about flying to Japan. Haneda has been recommended as the preferred arrival point, due to closeness to where I need to be. But I've arrived at Narita a few times and have no issues with...

    Velocity points now worthless in 2023 (extreme stealth devaluation)

    And you know that this was changed on purpose how? Please present the evidence to support your claim. In this thread you've specifically raised the value of the points. Your title says the points are worthless. Therefore, in this thread, YES it does relate to the points cost. Otherwise, the OP...

    Hmm, the value hasn't changed. The cost is the same. you just can't find any awards on singapore. There are too elements, availability and value. Lack of availability is not devaluation... If the problem is availability with VA where there are award available with SQ, one solution is to transfer...
