I need a new bed. The slightest movement on mine and it squeaks like a rusty gate.
Any suggestions online to look for mattresses and bed frames?

Can you get ikea delivered down there? Not everyone loves it but the Malm is pretty solid! It survived the start of me and the wifes relationship if that counts for anything and is still with us today.

Can be delivered to Launceston but then getting it from Launceston to here is the problem but I will take a look. Thanks!

I bought an Ecosa frame and mattress.
Personally, best mattress I’ve ever slept on.

I’ll check them out. Thanks.

Consider a box base for avoiding squeaks.

In the short term, a graphite lubricant like for locks will help a lot. Cheaper than a new bed. I would not use WD40 due to smell and greasy residue.

The bed is old. It needs to go, the screws are stripped to the point I’m not sure it could ever be taken apart lol. And the mattress is uncomfortable. I may as well have a whole new me.

Porridge with honey and cream with coffee please. If available, could I also have a small army of cats to settle on me and keep me warm too.

It’s quite cold enough here, but apparently Tassie’s getting -12 and frozen lakes. No thanks! www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-03/…/104051742

It is a tad fresh here. Thankfully nice and sunny.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Mrs has family over here atm, apparently it was -4 when they left for Melbourne the other day.

I just legitimately heard a loud bang. One. Quite the boom, bass-y, set a bunch of birds off. I hope it was the local dipshits house.

I have a tip on fire near me.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Oh hey, it’s on vic emergency, in Springvale.

Three units attending is just a baby fire, barely worth mentioning. A noteworthy fire would have something like ten times that many.

I’m in need of a good winter jacket puffer thing for office. Is it worth dropping ~450 on standard Melbourne uniform i.e. North Face Nuptse? 💀
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 months ago
With that kind of money I’d look at Patagonia as well. There’s a cheap Aldi and Macpac ones listed on ozbargain right now.
Nath@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I’ve seen a few of these things around, they’re a bit overkill for our mild winter in Perth. I had no idea they were so expensive, though! My youngest wants one - because fashion. I was looking at the Anaconda range, They were in the $60-$100 ballpark (for kids jackets - not sure if adults are the same).
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I haven’t tried them, but Huffer are having a 50% off sale on their puffer jackets right now and I’m eyeing it off. I’ve heard a few people rave. They’re around $500 full price, so a sale is worthwhile.

Would a 1000A jump starter be enough to start most cars?
The question is less about jumping my own car (it’s a 2L ICE), but more about, if a friend comes up to me or I see a random struggling with a dead battery, what are the chances 1000A is enough?
(don’t want to spend too much money lol)
dumblederp@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I don’t own a jump starter, how often are you jumping your car?
Diesel needs more jump than petrol.
Gooloo brand was recommended by Project Farm on youtube.
The car manual should indicate power required to start the batter, possibly listed as battery size or cold cranking amps (CCA).
Cendana@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Long time no see Dumblederp.
how often are you jumping your car?
Never had to, thankfully.
But have jumped my wife’s friend once, and came across two scenarios requiring a jump this past month.
Gooloo brand was recommended by Project Farm on youtube.
Will go check it out, thanks:)

My Excel spreadsheet is refusing to play nice with my OFFSET functions. I do not know why, the exact same formula is working with other cells, it just won’t let me create them with a different original cell reference.

If I lay my head down on my desk I think I’d be asleep in less than a minute. I slept ok last night, but running outta juice now. No coffee today isnt helping. Lets see if this tea can help, there is a lot riding on its shoulders.
