Do you know the tare weight of your tandem trailer?

Realistically, your needs are fairly incompatible (1.7m height, $25k budget, 2,000kg towing (ideally 2,500, as most good braked tandems weigh more than 400kg with ramps and a spare), and wagon-type).

Since the height and towing capacity are non-negotiable, you may need to be flexible on other needs: 1: blow the budget, Audi A6 Allroad Quattro, or Volkswagen Passat Alltrack (must be recent models (post 2016?) for the 2t+ towing capacity) 2: SUV type but lower than 1.7m, Volkswagen Tiguan

Expect to spend more to have your towing capacity upgraded, and a good electronic brake control system installed.

Other contenders: Mercedes GLC (any diesel), although I can’t recommend owning one unless you hate money.

Good luck, stranger! :)

I’m curious, what is the construction of an average 70s home in your region?

I don’t believe the government has any running initiatives to improve energy ratings on old houses, but there are certainly standards for new builds like you would have today. Generally speaking, because the summer sun disproportionately heats up our metal roof (and our ceiling cavity is not insulated), it will get to around 2-3 degrees hotter inside than it is outside, if no climate control is used.

The advantage on a sunny winter day, is that it can be 10 degrees outside, and 17 inside if we’re lucky :) (but of course that heat vanishes the moment the sun goes behind the trees.)

Nice! Contribute literally anything, it all helps. 10 year reddit lurker here, also making an effort to bring something to the table. Until it gets busy. Then I’ll fade into the background again :)

Ahh yes, we also suffer from a lack of insulation. Empty ceiling and walls. The 50s was a pretty relaxed era for Australian housing.

And I can only assume, at this point, you are also about to lose a wife?

It’s been about ten years, give or take. Thank you and fuck you for breaking my streak.

Edit: welcome 🙃

Do it. Smother that thing in vanilla ice cream for extra dietary regret.

This. This is my favourite take on the whole conundrum.

Can highly recommend the vanilla, although the good stuff isn’t terribly frugal. When feeling lavish, I can also recommend basting both sides of the bread in egg mix, and buttering the pan instead. Then re-butter the pan before flipping (remove, wipe, butter, replace on flipside).

Serve with sprinkle of sugar, and a generous twist of juice from a garden lemon. drools

Have used both casually, agree Kdenlive is more versatile once you get past a few UI quirks. Latest version has some neat audio filters; good for removing background noise or distortion from poscasts/webinars etc.

We need a one-line explanation (I cannot find words to distill this), demonstrating that instance selection is entirely arbitrary - users need to not only believe it, but understand it intuitively, and quickly. And it’s not intuitive to most persons’ Web experience (With every internet decision I have made since IRC, the domain at which I hoist my flag, has defined the content available to me. Why would I register with an instance that hosts only thirty users? Don’t I want to be where the other people are? Hang on, if the choice is arbitrary, why am I presented with a choice at all? Surely I’m missing something. No, I don’t understand this, and so just in case, I should put myself where the other people are. If it wasn’t better over there, they wouldn’t all be there. Hang on, how do I hop between instances seamlessly? Why are there instances? What even is an instance? Why am I here? Who am I?)

Just address those concerns in ten words or less, and problem solved! XD (I may or may not have had the same questions)

It was always going to happen, and the best time to shit the bed, is when you’ve already wet yourself, because the sheets have to be changed anyway, right?
