Who's got a recommendation for a power company that doesn't suck (as bad as where I am now, who am I kidding they all suck)? I've been with powershop but their bills are gibberish that don't make sense and they've just told me they're halving the solar feed in tariff and putting the daily rate up by 30%, so I'm looking to loving them right off.

Ouuuuchhhhh. Did the power company do a meter read between when they moved in and the first bill? Because that seems super excessive, I'd be disputing that :(

Thanks for the links, I'll have a look.

She did dispute it. I'm not sure of the outcome. The house used to have solar but it's been decommissioned.

Absolutely recommend changing companies every few years. Punishing customer loyalty is an actual documented thing insurance companies do.

Is there a secret trick to up your 2-minute noodle game? Like, adding extra cheese or egg or something? And keeping it lazy and cheap, of course - I'm not suggesting a good option is to slip a lobster under it.

Spring onion, vegetables, plastic cheese slice.

Put the flavour sachet in with some aromatics and hit it with some hot oil, then stir that through.

Firstly don't buy garbage tier like Maggi, buy something better like shin ramyun or whatever

Then adding some chilli oil once its in the bowl and a handful of extra veggies or kimchi or whatever - I tend to add some onion slices and cabbage, but it depends on what I have in the fridge.

Another pro move is to finely grate some fresh ginger into the bowl and pour the soup over that, really freshens up the soup base

Six homes have now been destroyed in Victoria by an out-of-control bushfire west of Ballarat.

More than 17,000 hectares have been burnt in the blaze, which began at Mount Cole on Thursday amid hot and dry weather conditions.

About 550 firefighters are still on the scene working to suppress the fire, with a Watch and Act warning in place for the dozens of communities around Amphitheatre, Avoca, Bayindeen and Beaufort.

Tiny tiny little bit of minced pork stir fried with aromatics like garlic and onion, and whatever sauce you like; soy, oyster, hoisin, doubanjiang, sesame oil. Adds tons of flavour and you can freeze little portions it'll reheat easy.

Plus the other things people mentioned. Maybe some toasted sesame seeds.

I always add some vinegar to packet ramen at the end, too. Either white, rice or black.

Also, if you are using the microwave, cook in just the water for 2 minutes, then add the flavour sachet and cook for an additional minute
