@littleaud1 @couriermail About 10 years ago when I had my air conditioner installed there was an option to have a device included that would cycle it down if it received a signal from Energex. They gave me $300 discount for it. It has only been activated once that I could tell.

@couriermail Id love to know how that can be done . How would they know I have an aircon.

Thousands of sweltering Queenslanders have had the cooling function on their airconditioners turned off remotely by their energy provider. Story, map of areas affected: bit.ly/4gVD2oI

@AnnieForTruth I think it would be about $7 a vial here in Australia. I’m on Metformin for T2 and I pay around $AUD 32 for 100 tablets which is enough for 50 days.

@DiBrander It’s called a spider in Australia and New Zealand.

My kids think it’s gross that hubby & I used to put ice cream in Coca Cola as kids. Guessing it was an 80s/90s thing? Or, was it a Scottish thing? I think it was called a float.

@QSArchives I think it’s Coolangatta but not completely sure.

Remember when your mum put the candystripe sheets on your bed as winter was coming in, hot water bottle thrown in 30 minutes before going to bed They were so warm, getting up in the morning, ice inside the windows, floor stone cold, we survived though, the sheets are coming back into fashion

@PicturesFoIder Reminds me of the Sydney 2000 Olympics design.

Rest in peace to former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who sadly passed away at age 96, with President Carter right by her side. She helped revolutionize the role of FLOTUS, and she was referred to as “The Steel Magnolia,” as she was at one point considered possibly the most powerful First Lady in U. S. history.  President Carter sent her on major diplomatic missions and often had her join cabinet meetings.  One of President Carter's aides had listed his top advisers, and put her above Secretary of State, National Security Adviser and White House Chief of Staff. A Time magazine columnist wrote, “Note the order.” She was the first with an office and issues staff, and steered policy on many issues, including mental health.  Rosalynn Carter gave her first address to the World Health Organization, and stated that health is a human right and called attention to mental health as a critical part of a person's well-being. Rest in Power, FLOTUS. 🙏💙
