Dumb Questions Amnesty

Thanks for the reply! Blitz didn’t tag it so I only just saw it now.

In answer to your comments:

  1. none are on dimmers.

  2. I suspect that there are multiple (but no more than 3) going to a single transformer - at least there is one switch that turns them on or off. Not sure if there is something more complicated happening in the roof space but from what I have since seen, I think the builder would have been keeping costs down so would have done the least he could do

  3. Yes I know this is the best option but probably can’t be justified on a cost basis (vs using the remaining 50w halogens very rarely)

In the meantime I have been able to replace two of the recalcitrant halogens with 7.5W LEDs. These were in single lights/switch. The 7.5W LEDs did not work when trying to replace halogens in 2 lights/switch

Are there any tech savvy blitzers that know anything about firesticks and the service Stremio?

Telstra, Kayo, Disney, Netflix and the rest have all rorted me for the last time but I need some help setting this stuff up.

Does anyone here Malatang?

I freaking love Malatang.

I have two dumb questions.

1 - Did the Malta branch of the Ford Motor Company stock the Falcon?

2 - Why does everybody talk about The Eye Of The Tiger and ignore the other four letters?

Is it wrong to start going grey and calling it your ‘George Clooney’ phase?

Just received this from the real estate agent:

‘There is no legal requirement that you need to sign or agree to a rent increase, the increase was served and if you had wanted to contest it you needed to do so within 30 days of receiving the increase notice.’

Sounds pretty fishy to me. Are they right?

I refer to myself as a ‘silver fox’

The tenants victoria website states the following so they may be correct.

Challenging a proposed rent increase

If you think the proposed rent increase is too high, or your rent has been increased more often than the law allows, you can apply to Consumer Affairs Victoria to challenge it.

This is a free service.

Making the application

Your application must be made in writing within 30 days of receiving the notice [section 45]. There are two ways you can apply:

Any HVAC dudes here?

I’m using a small 100mm inline duct fan with bendy pipe to move air from the exhaust of a 3d printer to the window and was wondering if I should put the fan closer to the window side or closer to the printer. The printer has a tiny fan internally so my logic was to put the inline fan at the other end. Not sure which way is best and want to try to get out most of those pesky VOCs.

Why is it Garlic Bread and not Garlic Toast?

I’m no expert, but the ‘expert’ advice has nearly as many people saying push is better as there are saying pull is better for ducts, so my guess is both are very, very close.

I tried to find similar advice for push and pull for a computer CPU cooler, and came to a similar conclusion, as there are many people adamant about one way as the other.

I personally think your logic about sitting the inline fan at the opposite end to the internal fan makes a lot of sense, and probably tips the balance toward the pull option for the inline fan.

You don’t toast the bit inside. It’s gotta stay bread to be all garlicky buttery and fluffy.

Ok, so I have set up a computer network that runs from my house to a granny flat.

There are Ethernet ports in 3 rooms in the granny flat. There are 3 ports in the house. Is there a simple way to check which port in the house is going to which port in the granny flat?

Phone a friend? Or teamviewer to your other pc. Slightly less trips.
