Such a refreshing contrast to Australian 7/9/10/kayo coverage of sport.

So many missing the fairway and ending up in knee-deep rough, zero chance they are finding their ball.

I ordered some bricks from AliExpress for my sons 7th birthday.

They arrived on time, but the set didn't match the photos at all. AliExpress said I would have to send them back to get any refund.

I get it, kind of, but at the same time, it was a scam listing. My kid doesn't understand why we have to send back his present (and I felt a bit bad giving it to him, but he was happy at the time - its a kids birthday, they are appreciative of anything).

I've spent $1500+ on Aliexpress, this was like $30.

It's more of hte principal - I don't want to send it back and reward the scammer and make my kid upset. But at the same time, I feel ripped off paying $30 for a crap set too that I wouldn't have bought from a real listing.

Anyone had any success with AliExpress and not shipping things back? It's been escalated several times but always same result.

Doesn't need to be amazing. I don't fish but my kid wants to give it a go with a Kmart rod.

​

Any suggestions for places that are easy? (I.e. not too far from the car, not too many things to get snagged on, decent likelihood of catching something that isn't a toad fish).

Ordered some off-brand lego. The listing looked great, good reviews but I got sent the wrong order.

After some digging, the small product thumbnail was different to the listing/title/images. They clearly did a bait and switch - get good reviews, switch out just the thumbnail with a very similar looking (but inferior), but different product and hope no one notices as I would say majority are gifting it.

I complained to Ali, and now the listing and entire store is removed. Good to see Ali is open to banning sellers who are dodgy.

Folk uses the Voyager API which is technically against LinkedIn's ToS. Kondo does the same (more egregiously).

Both make me uneasy. Has anyone had any issues with CRM extensions that pull LinkedIn info?

I was charged twice for the monthly sub.

It's not a huge amount of money, but still, it shouldn't have happened.

Anyone had any luck getting in touch with support? It's been +12 days and no answer.

Their email channel must be dead, anyone got a tip for getting in touch with them?

Are they using GPT Chat Latest ($30/m/output)?

Do they advise what model?

I am thinking of getting one of these (Harmonix Rock Band Wired Drum Set Xbox) - my soon-to-be-7-year-old has taken to being in a "rock band" at lunch with cardboard boxes etc.

There's one for sale nearby, $50, but I don't have an xbox etc. I'm hoping to connect it to a PC and play whatever is compatible.

Thoughts? I tried searching, but came up trumps about what is compatible. Any help greatly appreciated

I want to game in my shed.

I plan on running fibre between the house and shed. But I was thinking maybe running fibre HDMI too?

Is it a thing to have HDMI from my gaming PC to the projector in the shed and also run moonlight for the inputs and have no video output.

Any advice? Good idea? Bad idea? Etc.

Every year we go away with a few families. Not quite outdoor - caravan park with access to a stove/oven.

As years have gone on the numbers have gotten bigger with kids, we're now up to about 20.

Thoughts on a dinner option that's cheap, relatively easy to prepare, can be served quickly, easy to eat and caters for fussy kidsnand a handful of gluten free peeps.

Last year I did Tacos, it was fine. But ended up being more expensive than I was wanting to spend once you add on sour cream, guac etc. Some kids only wanted soft tacos etc. Not horrible, but keen to try something new.

I was thinking Japanese curry: big pot with veggies already cut up, a few curry cubes. Cook another big pot of rice and then get two bags of frozen chicken tenders + a box of GF ones and then put them in the oven.

But happy to hear other ideas that work for people: fast, cheap, tasty, GF options, easy to quickly serve/eat! (We have a "lasagne lady" so that's out).

I might be out of the loop, I was on a monthly pro plan and it disappeared after the month. I reached out to support and they said the plan expired and I could renew from the pricing page - but it's much more expensive than the plan I was on.

Is this normal?
