For a PT cruiser? Vanishingly rare in aus! But might be worth adding

Not sure if anyone has a similar thing they do. There have been some arguments lately in our car so I guess here we are.

They’re all just as shit. I broke a glass jar last time one of them broke on me.

On a related note, one of my endless todo items is to figure out a decent way to store them in the back of the car. My thought atm is to get some sort of flat, wide elastic strap and secure it to a corner of the boot, and then just kind of mush them all together in the elastic strap.

I’ve tried the car boot organisers. Their shit.

Jokes aside, he’s a disgrace. Sadly, considering he has been re-elected in the past despite worse behaviour, I expect this will be celebrated in his electorate.

Fair!! Ya gotta work up to it.

I respectfully disagree.

I put my degree on hold because I just couldn’t summon the motivation at the time to finish. 2 subjects shy of graduating.

FF 8 years later and my then current boss asks about it, I said I’d never finished it because reasons. He offers to help pay for any subjects I need to take to complete. It turns out if I’d left it on hold for any longer I would have forfeited the whole thing.

He not only paid the money for me to finish those last two subjects; once I graduated he bumped my pay substantially because now he had a university-educated staff member on the books.

A bit of saltiness you say? Looking for a dose of umami flavour?

Hmm as an owner of a couple of EV’s, I’ve not seen the deals where electricity retailers offer this. I wonder if I’m missing out on something here.

My electricity bills have definitely gone up (over the winter as per usual). However, with roughly 5kw of solar and DST kicking in soon, I’ll be able to charge the cars almost solely from solar.

Cars with larger batteries will benefit from being able to do run around during the week and charge from solar during the weekend. Edit: I’ll note that for me (in Vic) it is still vastly cheaper to charge from solar than to feed the solar back into the grid.

Also, the tax concessions only seem to apply to these when buying new and also when doing them via leasing / ie as a company supplied vehicle. Please correct me if I’m wrong here.

Red Cross’s Rediplan (https://www.redcross.org.au/prepare/) has an iOS and Android app that makes this simple to plan for all emergencies (not just for bushfires).

When I went to a Red Cross course a few years ago, they were big on the pillow case thing for kids - fill a pillow case with your fave teddy bear and clothes. They had ones made up that go through the process with them.

Bendigo’s GovHub was another with this sort of construction technique. Interestingly Fairbrother had a lot to do with that as well.
