I cannot overstate how repellent I find anything USian at the moment.

Paragraphs about buying light bulbs
I am never buying LED lights from normal retail channels ever again. I effectively got 8 bulbs for $1.09ea (with coupons) on AliExpress. They have a perfect 3000K warm white colour and I tailored the brightness to the application – 3W bulbs for the range hood, 5W bulbs for ceiling down lights. You can pick from 4 different brightnesses, three different colour temperatures, 38 or 120 degree beam angle, and whether they are dimmable. Try doing that with Australian stock. Impossible. The main differences are no retail packaging, and they don’t come in an 60 degree beam angle which seems to be the standard in Australia. I can’t tell a difference between 60 and 38 though. The 6 pack I bought from Bunnings for $19.50 have a disgusting pink hue to them and are too bright. Absolute crap.

I haven’t had those in ages. I remember at a catered Christmas party I got serve them as mini hotdogs in dinner rolls. Do recommend. Skin off for me too. There’s enough questionable ingredients inside them, don’t need the mystery red/orange wrapper too.

If he’s instructed his legal team to run this defence they don’t have a choice! (I appreciate the interrobang.)
r/auslaw has some funny snarky takes on this. I have also learnt there that life without parole is a sentence open to the judge. Let’s hope so.

Feel a bit bad that I didn’t realise the Lamarre-Condon trial started on Monday. But I cannot believe what I am reading as his defence, and what the prosecutor is alleging actually happened. Those boys must have been so scared.
Who in their right mind could possibly believe he was acting in ‘self defence’?

That’s actually a great point. I need to research further. But leaning towards doing the thing no matter where it is.

Weighing up whether a $9-12k medical tourism trip to China would be worth it. A week and a bit of intensive multi-disciplinary workup that would take years of waiting in Australia. It doesn’t sound too bad, actually. The hardest bit is getting the initial appointment.

That is appalling. Sorry you had to deal with that. I can’t even imagine the thought process.

Apparently he wanted the business to keep selling Italian Baroque… but I only see people these days buying that ironically. Hopefully some modern Italian design in the mix.

What a stubborn old coot. Gotta be one of the worst qualities to develop in later life (looking at you, mother). May we all break the cycle.

I am NOT a pickle enjoyer. But I got a pickle slider thing and it converted me to a pickled enjoyer. I’m not even joking. I think it’s so good.

My heart sunk for you reading that. I obviously don’t know all the discussion you had about arrangements before you starting looking, but it seems like a massive assumption on their part that helping you get into home ownership entitles them to claim part of the space for themselves.
Going from a place that is 0% yours to one that is only 60% yours isn’t the point at all.

My $27 order from IKEA cost $32 to ship to mum – they’re taking a quite hit to their 1.4bn profit on this one.
