    Solar Panel advice

    Wow, sweet deal. I think tesla are the only battery provider that provide off-grid power. All other batteries are deactivated with solar in a blackout. We do get maybe 1 blackout every 2-3 months, so it's an issue here...but we also have a generator for backup, which is about $15k less

    Solar Panel advice

    Power is definitely more expensive, we have only one supplier...state owned (Ergon). They've reduced the fit this year from 8.4c to 7.8c. I reckon they'll keep reducing the fit ongoing too as rooftop solar has exploded in popularity...and consequently reduced wholesale prices. There are cheaper...

    Solar Panel advice

    Have solar installed in far north Queensland, Australia. We get pretty good rebates on rooftop solar. Had a 13.2KW system installed recently at a cost of $9000 (approx) £5000 after rebate. On a clear day the system generates 55-59KW, cloudy/rainy 7KW. House of 4 generally using 20-25KW per day...

    How much do you save a month ?

    I disagree that you'll never be well off.. The guy who spends all of his disposable income every month on crap (clothes/toys/drinking) is not well off....his wages are already spent. If you were to set a goal...say to save 5% of your wage (set up a direct debit to a second account - we...

    How much do you save a month ?

    We save my wage each month (£1500) it's our emigration to Oz fund.. To give context I've just graduated and for a few years whilst in uni we paid off £15k debt, the money we save now is money we've never seen. We manage to curb any spends by visiting car boot sales/charity shops (got a nice...

    *** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

    I'm not feeling very excited about the ps4 or the xbox1 at all. Microsoft have proven so duplicitous I've simply lost trust in the brand. They do seem to be making big strides to win over the masses but everything they've done has been with money, it really does seem as though if they throw...

    How to deal with eBay buyer!

    Under no circumstance offer a partial refund. The buyer has shot himself in the foot, he is trying to use 'feedback extortion' as a tool to get a partial refund which is against ebay rules...buyers are not allowed to ask for money back when a refund is received. If he leaves negative...

    eBay tips for a beginner required.

    Here's a few things I've figured out during my ebaying: Take clear photographs, take several, use ebay to list the first and then use something like google's picasa to upload photos and then link back to them in your ebay ad (free!!). If you're selling something with several...

    The drugs don't work: a modern medical scandal

    Improves choice with modest improvements in treatment Very true Context, 'drug a vs placebo' gives little context of where the new drug fits into the clinical setting. 'drug a vs gold standard' would at least show how the drug fairs versus the 'best' treatment. Perhaps the answer...

    The drugs don't work: a modern medical scandal

    Essentially the problem lies in that clinical trials must only prove that a drug works better than placebo aka nothing. If the ethics committees behind approval of these individual clinical trials were to be more strict in approval (which I was told in a recent work conference is starting to be...
