Yep. I did have a look at changing settings but there were warnings about it possibly affecting the warranty. I'll call them on Monday, he's pretty good/easy to deal with.

Ugh, I have the same issue with my panels/inverter sending power to the grid rather than charging the battery. I've going to ring the installer and see what can be done as it's just over a month old.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Hang on, I'm confusing the method. Ammonia free window cleaner to clean, then dilute baby shampoo to give you slip.

It's been a few years

Tom @tomgj.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, part of my job a while back used to be applying vinyl graphics and signage. I liked baby shampoo in the squirty bottle as it was the least 'chemically', and importantly ammonia free.

It's pretty forgiving to install, but try and cut the pieces to fit all your windows first, then use the off cuts for a little practice run or three before doing the real thing.

Because of course trump sells knock‐offs.

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

Window tinting film from bunningd is a cheap(ish) option if you've got someone who can help apply it. Made a big difference here.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

I thought he used to be a 'good guy' so was wondering why he was suddenly an arse; being in Australia I try to absorb only the big stories from US politics.

Thanks for confirming
