Ah man, I’m getting nitpicked over a news title when the site wouldn’t offer a suggested one for the link.
Like damn dudes, I don’t perfectly understand something that doesn’t apply to me. But I do know a law changing that could invalidate a lot of drivers licenses overnight might be something people should know about? Preferably before they get pulled over?
If I made a small mistake in the title they can go read the article that will tell them the exact info.

I've figured out how people make those fancy designed emails that all look like one image (Figma and the snip tool to break it up into parts).
Does anyone know some good resources on graphic design so I can actually make decent looking designs?
I don't know any graphic design theory and everything I do just looks too bland or busy. I know how to use the tools, now I need to know how to make them look good.

My tooth broke yesterday while I was eating lunch, so now I’ve got a toothache and dentist’s appt. Hopefully it’s just part of the crown and can be re-glued. The tooth also has a big filling so I’m a bit worried they’ll suggest pulling it out

Looking for recommendations on both power tools and security cameras. My tools were Ryobi which I liked their reciprocating saw and blower but the mower wasn't great. I had a good experience with Ozito multitool, and been told apparently bunnings will take them back no questions asked. Open to any recommendations but budgets gonna be fairly tight since i'm starting over and want to spend money on cameras. On that note: Anyone had any installed? Things they liked, things they don't or installers that were good to work with?
I think I have used every power tool brand and usually go with Makita due to the consistency, durability, great batteries and a vast range of power tools on offer. (even coffee makers and microwaves haha!)
They are are a little more expensive though so maybe not a good choice for you.?
Ryobi is probably your best bet as it is an affordable option for DIY. I have used Ryobi in a professional setting as well and the only drawback is the battery life isn’t great so more batteries are required to keep going on jobs. (if you are worried about the lawnmower, I would suggest a good petrol power Honda or Victa anyway.)
Also check out Metabo (formerly Hitachi) they are priced competitively, durable and have a flexi volt system in which you can run them corded or on just batteries. I own a couple of their drills and they have served me well.
Hope that helps.
Victa
I think my victa push mower is about 30yrs old with minimal servicing lol. Just keeps going.
Yes! My Victa is about 20 years old. They indestructible (with regular maintenance of course)

Mr Woof is now clean and I am very damp.
I won't have my fully enclosed bath I can bathe him in at the new place, I will have to work out a new location. The covered area outside should work fairly well, I just need a way to organise water that is not freezing cold.
