Interest in powertools??? how can you bear to go out in public... LOL Don't even have to worry about deleting the spam- most programs will auto delete spam folders contents after a set period (usually a month)

I literally only use it for the marketplace, and for messenger (for friends and family)- I looked at my profile (which isn't actually in my own name anyway lol) and I have made 4 public posts in the last few years... No AI needed- most databases are searchable (ie have fields in them like last...

Quite frankly, the use of many websites 'needing your info' (some quite intrusive- looking at you facebook) is ridiculous- a while back, I was part of a group that had a admin login compromised, and every person in that group on facebook was 'required to prove your identity'- by scanning the...

Funny they are turning back to the 'old favorites' thats been around for ages lol I have had that several times over the years- what made it even funnier was that I was on an old tower case system- that didn't even have a camera (or a mic for that matter)

I've made a couple of lamps for the bedside tables similar to what you describe myself (no pictures unfortunately, my ex took them with her) :-( I already had a set of HSS 'long drills' from my tradie days and one of those about 25cm long was more than adequate for the job (be careful...

I been lucky so far (touch wood) but I did get a rather bad cut needing stitches from a bandsaw... and it wasn't even running... Putting a new blade on it, and it came packaged in the usual fairly tightly wound loop, started cutting the plastic ties holding it in that nice tidy circle and it...

I used them for quite a while (my ex took them with her lol) and our solution was having fairly large plastic 'cutting boards' we used as placemats, after one too many spills... the seats were fine, it was just the table top that caused issues (rattan isn't the flattest surface)

Rattan (cane) furniture is ok (and I personally like the look of it) but I did find that the tables in particular were not particularly 'even' on the surface- so things being stood up on them tend to be wobbly- ie glasses etc could easily fall over- no spilling the beer allowed lol) Plus the...

How appropriate, my sister literally just sent me this one... Stay safe everyone...

A 'cookie cutter suburb' is one that the entire suburb is built by a single company, and at best you might find three or four different house designs, but many of the 'cheaper' ones aimed at the first home buyers or rental market literally use only a single design, so literally every house is...

Tail lifters come in a variety of weight ranges (it is usually printed on the arms or controls exactly what its SWL is), the one on the truck I used to drive was 3000kg!!!(one of the full sized ones that folds up over the back doors, rather than underneath)- a right pain in the posterior, lucky...

One trick I use to make sure no exif data is included in the photo (and it also cuts down on the photo size making it faster to upload and download for others) is full screen it on the laptop, then do a screengrab, then upload the screengrab... Pretty easy, just expand the photo to full screen...

Not an option in a rented house lol (and yes the owners are aware, but the builders of that suburb 'disappeared' and its unlikely anything would come of trying to get it fixed- the door 'opens' so all is good... :-( The build quality of those 'cookie cutter' houses is atrocious, gaps...

Most pallet jacks can handle quite steep slopes if they have the 'little front wheel' on the tines at the end (not all do)- not the 'lifting wheels' on the tines- some brands have small rollers right at the tip to help 'bump over' the pallets planks... at the 'angle' where the ramp met the...

A mate of mine lives in one of those 'cookie cutter' suburbs (oh the horror lol- his is the place with the red roof and blue doors on the house and garage- otherwise identical to every other house- they have varied colours on the roof and doors) and in every single house, the 'builders' (again a...

A well known (and very simple) circuit- it is almost certainly the pot at fault (it could be a cracked carbon track- again common in higher value pots as it is a very thin film of carbon indeed, easily damaged)- replace with any 250K linear pot that physically fits as when being used with a...

I have seen a couple of 'home made mills' made from old drill presses in some farmers sheds (stout enough to do head milling for engines even)- apparently the original design was printed in an old Aussie magazine- but they didn't side load the drill itself- had a set of heavy bearings mounted to...

Dewalt often reuse the same housings for both XR (slideon) and XRP (plugin) tools, both ranges have both brushed and non brush versions around (often using the same gearbox etc- its the motor on the end of that gearbox that is different) Dewalt have made it very confusing- as they have marked...

I put this one up before- I was asked to use my trailer to take a 'load of rubbish' to the tip- they had bought the place and were getting rid of the old stuff lying around- including the 'garden ornaments'- being an old 'milk container' (stainless steel, still with top), old wooden wagon wheel...

That entire town has always had drainage issues, and its getting worse- it is an island, made of sand, and the highest point is only about 1m above sea level- we used to get the street drains backwashing on king tides as the sea was higher than the drains (they had cast iron 'flappers' that were...
