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

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

Yeah, they're all connected, I could see that in the PV app. It's only a 6.64kW PV array and electricity is expensive in SA, daily service is $1.08 and the FIT is $0.01.

2

Tom @tomgj.bsky.social · 1d

Must have a decent FIT, our bills are still around $400 a quarter with panels and we're not big users.

Looking forward to next bill though; 16.6kWh battery installed late August and I think we've used 2kW of grid since.

Actually you seal looks very clean, I'd just make sure the drawers are all the way in when closing the door. My Bosch freezer won't close unless the drawers are pushed right in, anything hanging out will stop the door closing properly. Very annoying

Supposedly lubricates and helps create a better seal. It will, however, degrade the rubber over time as it is a petroleum product.

Give your seal a good wipe over with soapy water and do the same to the fridge carcass where it meets the seal.
