    ECO FIBER - POOL FILTER ALTERNATIVE TO SAND

    Been using it for about two years now, and happy, don't backwash T all, every six months or so I take them out and toss them in an old top loader I have in the garage. They come out looking new I probably need to buy another bag as some do start to pull apart. But overall, much prefer it to...

    Pool sand filter

    I think you'd be better off posting pictures,mine broke at the inleft pipe, but my filter had a "screw-on" section that had broken, you could only see it once the pipe was screwed off.

    Can probably sell for some money. I used mine as a control panel for some home-automation stuff.

    Bass Shaker Tactile Transducer wiring up

    So we now have a baby and a toddler in the house. Means I'm spending less time watching movies because the volume needs to be kept down thanks to my cinema room being next to the bedrooms. I'm considering adding two of these bass shakers to the couch to at least have somewhat of a cinema...

    Having dealt with multiple returns to both Amazon and Takealot - I'd much rather buy from Amazon.

    Dodgy overseas on-line resellers (and some good ones)

    Problem I have with takealot are the fake reviews, makes it difficult deciding on less common products. Also - if something goes wrong with returns (or incorrectly delivered parcels) - you're in for a nightmare. Banggood - the shipping is usually fast - but it depends on Chinese holidays - and...

    Navigating the minefield of used car dealers

    Don't trust manufacturer dealers either - I bought a  Chev from Toyota N1 City, had to take it back twice in two weeks - they also washed their hands of it after a month when it had bearing issues '(year old car). Weren't interested in the CPA - DP also wouldn't return calls. I quietly traded...

    Neuralink

    I wonder how transferable it is - they got it working with one chimp, can they take what they've learnt and immediately apply it to a new chimp - or does it require "re-learning". While I'm not a fan of animal testing - I know in certain cases there aren't many options. (personally - I'd prefer...

    What lawyers want

    I posted before that the lawyers handling my property purchase said in a letter that they were in receipt of the electrical compliance certificate - after transfer I asked for a copy and there was none - it was never issued. Quite a bit in the sale didn't seem above board, and how they effected...

    What do you mean?

    Does anyone still flash custom ROMs?

    As soon as I get a new phone I flash it - I don't change ROMs often though, I just find the community ones more stable, I also prefer native Android vs. what ever the manufacturer comes out with, it just makes moving between manufacturers easier.

    The day I bought stolen goods

    Pretty much exactly like the video :D I'd completely forgotten about it - already been refunded - then got a SMS from the post office to collect two parcels...

    Has your domestic, or home staff stolen any of your gear?

    Going to hazard a guess more will go missing, they've realised he won't report them. We''ve had our own encounters over the years - we've had the same Malawiam woman working for us for 10 years now. She won't even help herself to bread if we haven't told her it's for her - she'd rather go...

    Amazon is confusing me

    I ordered a fuel pump which arrived stuffed last year, Amazon insisted I returned it - if I recall, the shipping to return was more than the item - they didn't care. They refunded me both the shipping cost and item cost. (Used Scott's shipping to return it)
