Bunnings Yard King V Cheetah Lawn Mowers $105 Whats The Difference Challenge leokimvideo 2024-09-30 | I found a cheap Bunnings Yard King petrol lawn mower thrown out after 2 years of use. It still ran but was blowing engine oil smoke. This had me go to Bunnings to see this lawn mower in store. To my shock, horror and surprise I find two near identical lawn mowers both made in China but have a $105 difference in price. The more I looked at these lawn mowers the more I was spooked. I even asked a Bunnings staffer what's the difference and even they were confused. So it's up to the audience to tell me how the Yard King lawn mower for $369 is different to the Cheetah lawn mower for $264. I need to understand the $105 difference in price. Hopefully I have portrayed what I saw in the Bunnings store accurately, stock was locked down onto shelf, price tickets were glued to shelving. Both lawn mowers are made in China and both have a 1 year limited domestic warranty. Maybe the yellow paint on the Yard King costs more that the green paint on the Cheetah lawn mower. What was really unusual the online listings of these products indicated slightly different dimensions related to blades, wheels and boxing. https://www.bunnings.com.au/yardking-16-127cc-cut-catch-lawn-mower_p0217934https://www.bunnings.com.au/cheetah-16-127cc-cut-and-catch-lawn-mower_p3381027Web Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunningsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn_moweren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesfarmershttps://www.accc.gov.au/
FOUND THOMAS! But Its WILDLY WEIRD! leokimvideo 2024-09-17 | I found Thomas & Friends clothes merchandise at Peter Alexander. As part of Peters 'TOY BOX' collection there is a small selection of PREMIUM Thomas And Friends clothes that are unique and unusual. To me the most shocking aspect to this is the All Engines Go inspired ADULT clothes. There is also childrens and baby sizes available via their online portal. These are in my books very expensive clothes but also very good quality. The trick to buying at the right price is watch out for clearance prices to snare a bargain. But be warned, if the collection is popular it will sell out before ever going on discount prices. Best to do a web search to find these clothes, I have no commercial deal to send viewers to a website link to buy these clothes. I also take a look at another retailer not far from Peter Alexander to show that there is no Thomas & Friends clothes for general sale. This is what I did in the 'Where's Thomas" video. While I was there I also saw 3 Hot Wheels 10 packs that have been busted open and Hot Wheels stolen. Honestly makes no sense.

Free Dyson V8 Animal Stick Vacuum Found Its Like Finding GOLD leokimvideo 2024-08-30 | I stumbled across a pile of rubbish being thrown out, if I was smart I could make a lot of money reselling much of the items here. What caught my eye was a Dyson V8 Animal amongst the rubbish. I take it home and investigate what's gone wrong. The Dyson V8 is one of the best stick vacuums ever sold.Anyway by making this video I am losing money, so welcome to playing on YouTube in 2024.

Thomas The Tank HORROR Plush Found In Premium Mall & TOBY To Save The Franchise leokimvideo 2024-07-29 | In my local Westfield Shopping Mall I saw a POP UP SHOP selling knock off / dark side toys. I purchased a Thomas The Tank for $15. There was Disney Cars, Bluey, SpongeBob, and Spiderman there as well. I explain why for my it's so dangerous to look at these unusual and illegal toys on YouTube now. I also ask a few questions related to the disappearance of Thomas toys from shops and Toby the Tram who is set up to impress the fandom in All Engines Go format. Considering his previous Trackmaster format was a total peg sitter I was shocked to see Toby appear as a Thomas AEG toy.

Apple Studio Display Major Fail Sneaky Look Inside & Onion Rings Refund Part 2 leokimvideo 2024-07-24 | My Apple Studio Display blew up after 18 months. This video looks into the Studio Display failure via information on ifixit.com web site. I transpose a Studio Display teardown picture via a grid to understand where the 'magic smoke' was coming from. This Studio Display is very impressive as it has a logic board with A13 Bionic chip and 64 GB of storage that runs iOS. There's a split power supply on two boards and two large fans that vent to the top of the Studio Display. It's basically a giant iPhone 11 without a touchscreen or a hidden away iMac Mini. I show in detail all around the case and and where the stand mounts into the rear of the Studio Display. Letting everyone see the condition my Studio Display was in as it was seen at the first Apple Genius Bar inspection. This display went through a second inspection and 'capture' on the 18th July and the whole boring story was told from scratch even though there was already a full report made. I have had to provide web orders and invoice info and it's important to remember the price of this display has not changed since it was for sale in Australia. So the 'price mystery' that was playing out at my local Apple store was pure BS. Their preferred resolution was for me to accept a replacement Studio Display. Considering what I witnessed on a cold Winter night when the Studio Display started to self destruct I couldn't consider it as a replacement. Remember 3 weeks earlier it was not behaving. That was the first signs of trouble and I did speak to Apple staff about this issue with not awakening from 'sleep'. I struggled through a very clunky Studio Display Firmware update at that time as well. The Apple Studio Display (marketed as Studio Display) is a 27-inch flat panel computer monitor developed and sold by Apple Inc. It was announced on March 8, 2022, alongside the Mac Studio desktop, and was released on March 18, 2022. It is Apple's consumer display, sitting below its Pro Display XDR intended for professional users.Video Copyright leokimvideoWeb Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Studio_Displayapple.com/au/studio-displayifixit.com/News/58242/studio-display-teardown-is-this-secretly-an-imacifixit.comenglish.etnews.com/20220407200004https://www.accc.gov.au/https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/apple-australia-gives-undertaking-to-accc-to-improve-its-consumer-guarantees-policies-and-practices
Redback Spider Roundup Double Trouble Flamethrower In July leokimvideo 2024-07-20 | My Redback Spider lures have been successful in luring some new Redback Spiders in the middle of Winter. I find a rare double act of male & female Redback Spiders enjoying a Winter break before Spring. I also find another more mature female Redback in another spider lure. Like the last Redback Roundups much of the spider action is around the front yard lures. Along the way Bubble the Cat assists me with the Redback Spider Control Chart that has two very important additions of Sydney Funnel Web Spiders that have been captured around my home. Lots of educational content in this video and lots of flamethrower. Considering how cold Winter has been the flamethrower was a nice way to warm up and keep the spider lures clean. Remember the Sydney Funnel Web and Australian Redback Spider are two of the most dangerous spiders in the world. And both are living at my place.

Apple Studio Display Major Scary Fail Caught On Camera $2500 Smoke Bomb Part 1 leokimvideo 2024-07-06 | My Apple Studio Display has had a major catastrophic failure. It was only 18 months old. One Winter night while my Mac Studio was asleep my Studio Display started gushing smoke. Initially I didn't understand where the smoke was coming from. I grabbed my iPhone and started to record the smoke around my video edit suite. The smoke was coming from my Apple Studio Display. There was a major electrical fault going on inside. The smoke had a very strong electrical odor and I could see a yellow liquid dripping from under the Studio Display lower air vents. I was able to awaken the display as it was failing, more smoke was pouring from the bottom and top of the Studio Display. The whole event completely spooked me, very scary to witness because I had no Idea how it was going to end. Then there was a loud short circuit crack from the Studio Display and it was dead. I have looked around online to see if anyone else has suffered a Studio Display failure like mine but I'm not seeing any. I do see some people who report having 'bricked' and 'return to Apple' Studio Displays. Many owners are having problems after a OS system upgrade or Studio Display firmware upgrade. 3 weeks prior to my Studio Display melting down I had the problem where the Studio Display wasn't waking up from sleep. The only reset method is via the mains power plug because the Studio Display doesn't have a on / off switch. Many people call this process the Studio Display 'reset'. When I first started having problems with my Studio Display I did talk with staff at Apple Hornsby and they gave me some advice. Put it this was my problem was on the radar before it finally blew up. There is a Part 2 to this Studio Display disaster. After Apple Staff assessed the damage and watched my videos of the Studio Display in meltdown they handed back to me the busted Studio Display. BUT WHY?Honestly they need to investigate this failure. Their constant offer was a replacement Studio Display when I was seeking a refund. I have attempted for a second time to be refunded in store but again failed. I purchased this Studio Display through Apple yet their own stores can't see into my Mac Studio & Studio Display CTO order. I am told to chase the refund by an alternative process that chews up more of my time. Anyway because Apple Genius Bar handed back to me my broken Studio Display it let me have a much closer look into this incredible piece of Apple hardware. Honestly when it was working it was the most incredible Computer Display to work with. The Apple Studio Display (marketed as Studio Display) is a 27-inch flat panel computer monitor developed and sold by Apple Inc. It was announced on March 8, 2022, alongside the Mac Studio desktop, and was released on March 18, 2022.

Sydney Funnel Web Spider - Aggressive Extremely Deadly & Beautiful leokimvideo 2024-06-07 | Our Cat Bubble made a interesting discovery in our outdoor Kitchen. A male Sydney Funnel Web Spider (Atrax robustus). This Funnel Web spider was trapped in the sink. It was mid May and it had been raining for 2 weeks. Sydney Funnel Webs are the most dangerous spiders in the world, they are aggressive and defend their ground by flaring up and preparing to bite via two huge fangs dripping in venom. A bite from a Sydney Funnel Web can kill a small child very quickly or a adult in as little as an hour. Since the early 1980's there has been an antivenom developed as a antidote to this spiders most deadly bite. In this video I capture the spider, compare it to the male Funnel Web I found last year and then deliver the spider to the Australian Reptile Park so it can be used in their venom milking program. Guinness World Records has ranked the Sydney funnel-web spider as the world's most venomous spider, defining the term "most venomous" as "having the venom most toxic to humans"How To Catch A Funnel-Web Spideryoutube.com/watch?v=Fs1h-etI-sUHow To Collect A Funnel-Web Egg Sacyoutube.com/watch?v=3ak-hXrOHMcWeb Links : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_funnel-web_spiderhttps://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2021/12/tracking-the-sydney-funnel-web-spider-https://www.reptilepark.com.au/animals-at-the-australian-reptile-park/venom-program/spider-venom-program/
Brush Turkey Spider Holes B-Roll Autumn Revisit Giant Moth & Beetle Grub leokimvideo 2024-05-17 | B-Roll of the Male Brush Turkey egg incubation mound I look at every morning over Summer. There's video here of the Female Turkeys and Turkey chicks in various stages of development. Lots of bits of video that were left out of the Brush / Bush Turkey study. There's extended footage of the big hairy scary Funnel web spiders that are infested in the Brush Turkey reserve.The last third of the video is a mid March Autumn / Fall revisit of the reserve. I find some classic diggings by Bandicoots and can see Ken's Turkey Mound is now much smaller as the leaf litter decays. In the Turkey mound I find some curious items. And hopefully even when the male Brush Turkey is not there it's interesting to look at. The Australian Brush Turkey, Australian Brush-Turkey, or gweela (Alectura lathami), also frequently called the Scrub Turkey or Bush Turkey, is a common, widespread species of mound-building bird from the family Megapodiidae found in eastern Australia from Far North Queensland to Eurobodalla on the South Coast of New South Wales. The Australian Brush Turkey has also been introduced to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is the largest extant representative of the family Megapodiidae, and is one of three species to inhabit Australia.Despite its name and their superficial similarities, the bird is not closely related to American Turkeys, nor to the Australian Bustard, which is also known as the Bush Turkey. Its closest relatives are the Wattled Brush Turkey, Waigeo Brush Turkey, and MalleefowlWeb Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_brushturkeyen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_funnel-web_spiderhttps://australian.museum/learn/animals/spiders/trapdoor-spiders-group/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandicooten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetle
Huge Hot Wheels Heist Thomas AEG Stock Sadness & WHO STOLE BISCUITS 😱 leokimvideo 2024-05-13 | An investigation into a very targeted Hot Wheels collectables heist where some Fast & Furious finger work has grabbed a wide variety of valuable American, European and Japanese Hot Wheels cars. I look over the dwindling Thomas And Friends All Engines Go stock in store with a special visit to a very messy & untidy store to see how amazing it looks. A week later I return to my favourite local retailer to see what thomas stoick has sold and what Hot Wheels have been tinkered with.

Wheres Thomas? ALL ENGINES GO Clearance Sale A Disturbing Trend leokimvideo 2024-05-05 | My search for Thomas & Friends merchandise in a variety of different retailers. I find just about every other popular franchise but for some reason Thomas And Friends is missing in action. I found Bluey, Paw Patrol, Disney, Minecraft, Where's Wally, Transformers, Barbie, Hot Wheels, Peter Rabbit, My Little Pony, Peppa Pig, Avengers and so many more but Thomas The Tank is missing in action. I have noticed the Thomas All Engines Go metal engine stocks have been removed from Supermarket toy cells. This is worrying because Thomas toys use to be a staple toy in this zone for decades. I do look at a box of Disney Cars to explain a little adult toy hunting tip. So often the good stuff is not on the pegs. Maybe the biggest shock was seeing Thomas AEG stock on clearance in a major retailer.

Brush Turkey Ken & Who Killed All The Giant Scary Spiders 😳 leokimvideo 2024-04-16 | There's a Male Brush Turkey egg incubation mound I look at every morning. I was keen to see a Bush Turkey chick emerge from the mound over Summer. I did find a number of Brush Turkey chicks darting about the bush reserve. It's this reserve where I found hundreds of Funnel Web dwelling spiders. Totally amazing to see this spider infestation. But in late Summer I find that something has dug up and destroyed the Spider holes. The amount of disturbed earth looks like WW3 had happened. It's a reminder that in nature there is always someone out to get you. Anyway nice to see so many Golden Orb Spiders appear in late Summer.

Woolworths Hornsby Cheating Customers Despicable Behaviour BUSTED 😡😡😡 leokimvideo 2024-04-12 | At Woolworths it's shareholder first, Customer second. A full peg of Gillette Mach3 Razor Blades with a price ticket of $21 yet scans for $28. Checkout staff wouldn't accept the photo I took of the stock at $21, suggested it was stock moved from another peg. I argued at the checkout for 5 minutes. During this time Woolworths staff remove all the product that was on the wrong peg. The front service manager then tells me it's Woolworths policy that the higher price has to be paid and if a price ticket is set in the wrong area it means nothing. To see that staff had removed the stock just added to the service managers multiple lies. I was given a total stone wall of verbal that I was in the wrong and the Gillette Mach3 Razor blades are only for sale at $28. I informed both the checkout staff and the front service manager I had photos of the Gillette Mach3 Razor Blades full on the peg with a $21 price tag and yes they both saw the photo. I also said my story will be going online and it's not going to be pretty for Woolworths. The core reason for this video is to explain the timeline of events where a simple stock placement mistake that would have only cost the store a few dollars ends up being a very despicable act to hide the mistake and then enforce that I (the customer) is in the wrong. If I was wrong why was the sock on the pegs removed and hidden so swiftly in a sneaky and deplorable way. As a customer I was devastated by the way I was treated in store and I pray the staff involved in this style of behaviour are retrained or shown the door. Everything that happened to me totally flied in the face of the simple policy that is set up to protect consumers from misleading ticketing in retail.Under Woolworths' price-scan policy, if an item scans at a higher price than the ticketed price in store, customers can receive that item free. So why was I treated like dirt at Woolworths Hornsby and told by only option was to pay the FULL PRICE ??Web Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolworths_Group_(Australia)https://www.woolworths.com.au/https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/
Redback Spider Egg Sac Opens Early Uncontained Situation Solved With Flamethrower ⚠️ leokimvideo 2024-04-07 | The Redback Spider B2 who has been living in a Spider Lure since January has laid up 3 more egg sacs. I inspect the Spider Lure to find a egg sac has opened up and hundreds of Redback Spiderlings are around the Spider lure. This egg sac opening lined directly up with the 4 week rule of development. This video was shot a few days after the Southern Hemisphere March Equinox. It to me signals the end of the peak Spider season for Redback Spiders as they now start to set up for the upcoming Winter. I use a Flamethrower to control the uncontained Spider infestation as these spiderlings would be setting up to catch the wind to establish new homes. A Black Ant colony is very close to the spider lure, I set next to it an incredible free meal of Redback Spider egg sacs and B2 Redback Spider. I put a time lapse camera on this ant colony to understand how Ants operate when given a huge free meal. But to my surprise the time lapse video captures two very different garden critters who feast on the free meal.

Amazing Trash & Treasure Hunting Custom Lightning McQueen Dyson Mega Haul & Legal Problems leokimvideo 2024-03-31 | Kerbside cleanup MEGA study of valuable Trash & Treasure that's up for grabs. This is the Australian Summer 2023 cleanup and what I find this time around is amazing. Of course there is lots of Made In China rubbish and some of it isn't very old. Just incredible to find a $1000 near new Carpet Cleaner and $700 new DeWalt line trimmer. If I see items that are not made in China I focus on them. By seeing the quality of items made in Japan, made in Australia or wherever we start to understand how good older consumer goods are. In this way the rubbish piles talk to us and are hopefully indicating to us the perils of consistently buying cheap Made In China rubbish which becomes fast landfill. I find a record number of Dyson vacuum cleaners, and none of these are spring chickens. One of them was destroyed by vacuuming up plaster dust. The Summer time cleanup coincides with Christmas decorations around homes. I do look over one of the best light display houses in the suburb right on dusk even if my iPhone struggled. In this video I remember a fantastic Australian YouTuber. Edward "Ed" Jones (1986 - May 29, 2019, aged 32, known more commonly as Aussie50 was an Australian YouTuber who uploaded content about technology, gaming and engineering mainly in his shed from late-2008 to mid-2019. I learned lots of things Aussie50's videos, Ed was a very intelligent person who explained electronics and engineering in plain English. He had a passion for scrap stuff and hacking just about everything he touched. This is a long video, I don't expect anyone to watch it in one hit. There's a lot of amazing finds along the way and this time around I revisit rubbish piles as they evolve. It's amazing what gets picked up as valuable trash. I did have a serious run in with a local who said I had no permission to video the rubbish that's put out for council collection. This local was aggressive and threatening. It had me delay this upload while I looked into the rights of video recording rubbish in a public space. Remember this rubbish is put out on the curbside outside of a property boundary. I'm also careful not to identify which house the rubbish comes from. In fact I never speak about streets to identify exactly where I am. Anyway this run in with the local nutcase did have me pull up the video.

Extremely Dangerous, Dumb & Reckless Drivers Caught On Dashcam leokimvideo 2024-03-29 | Just incredible how dangerous, dumb and inconsiderate drivers are on the road. I caught on dashcam a prime example of a driver who breaks every rule in the book. No consideration for anyone else but themselves. But sadly this is very much the way it rolls now. Some people may think this is the new way you drive, just wing it, and pretend it's a video game. If you crash just blame others or say you had a mental episode. I also show you a crazy pedestrian who wanted to be run over, anda string of USE MY HORN events caught on dashcam.

Massive Redback Spider B2 Mole Cricket Lunch Spider Egg Sac Pony Ants Dinner DUSTED leokimvideo 2024-03-09 | My Redback Spider lures are doing as they were designed. Now it's time to harvest the Redback Spider egg sacs. I distract B2 Redback Spider with an amazing lunch of a large Mole Cricket (Devil Bug). I have 4 Redback Spider eggs to remove and repurpose in an environmentally friendly way. B2 Redback has proved to me how in very short time she can have a large clutch of potentially 1000 Redback spiderlings. I look over other spider lures and deal with the deadly Redback Spiders that are living the high life. It's been a very humid, wet and stormy Summer in Sydney for 2023 / 2024 Summer. The garden has grown as if were living in the tropics. I look over the Citrus tree to see what the Stink Bugs are doing. I use my $3 spray mix of White Vinegar, Detergent and Water to eradicate the nasty Stink Bugs Web Links : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redback_spideren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green-head_anten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_cricketen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spideren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightningen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musgraveia_sulciventrisen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatomidae
Hoover Magicstick With Built In Lifespan & Adobe AI Audio Tools Fail Examples leokimvideo 2024-03-03 | I find a Hoover Magicstick vacuum cleaner thrown out on a rubbish pile. I notice it had no power and wasn't very old. This had me investigating this Hoover product via the Hoover QuickStick Product Reviews. From what reviewers were saying the failure point is the Lithium Ion Battery and then an inability to purchase a Hoover brand replacement battery. Sure this style of Stick Vacuum Cleaner is on the lower end of the budget scale but that's no reason to have a product made redundant because the battery fails. Anyway it's a reminder to buy a Dyson to avoid the buy cheap buy twice syndrome thats very common with cheaper made in China consumer products. I also tinker with Adobe Premiere AI enhance speech feature against some really messy raw audio. Maybe I'll stick with using the simple old tried and tested audio effects to clean up bad audio.

Thomas & Hot Wheels Stock Study Counting Percy Post Christmas Retail Fail Saga leokimvideo 2024-02-24 | After Christmas I go to my favourite retailer to count AEG Thomas & Friends Percy stock. My pre Christmas prediction didn't work out. The good news is all the Hot Wheels stock that was missing before Christmas arrived after Christmas. I look back just two years to remember much happier times, a time just prior to Thomas All Engines Go stock arrived. At my local large shopping Mall I now only have two retailers who carry Thomas & Friends stock and in reality these two major anchor stores are actually the same. It really feels like a race to the bottom and this style of retailing has a negative effect on the whole shopping Mall. When the only choice is Percy it says much about all the things that are going wrong. Anyway I always said Bluey was going to be huge, I called that many years ago and I feel no one ever believed me. ANKO is Kmart Australia's house brand: an evolution of the “&Co” branding it had previously used for individual departments such as “Kids&Co”, “Home&Co” and “Clothing&Co”. Introduced in 2019 to celebrate Kmart's 50th anniversary, Anko also means “A New Kind Of”, representing the company's changed philosophy since 2008. A 2024 article by The Australian reported that 85 per cent of products in Kmart stores are Anko brand. Anko has the largest market share in the home and toys, menswear, womenswear and children’s wear categories in Australia.Target began stocking Anko products in 2024. Anko is also an international brand: Kmart has made arrangements to sell its products in other department stores in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia and CanadaWeb Links : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_%26_Friendsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_%26_Friends:_All_Engines_Goen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Wheelsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie_(film)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluey_(2018_TV_series)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kmart_Australiaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_Australia
Berowra New Bike Lane Study : The Chaos Has Begun : Transport For NSW Feedback leokimvideo 2024-02-07 | A new dedicated Cyclist lane has been installed on the Pacific Highway at Berowra, Sydney. It's called The Berowra Cycleway Project which was first proposed in October 2023 and became active in January 2024. It all seems like a very rushed affair. The Pacific Highway heading North at Berowra has been reduced from 3 lanes down to 2 with a dedicated Cycleway now occupying the left hand lane up to the Berowra Waters Rd intersection. In my video study of this new Berowra Cycleway I show how a left hand turn into Berowra streets from the Pacific Highway is setting up a dangerous trend with drivers doing very late turns left from the middle lane. I call these dangerous late left turns 'duck dive turns'These sudden late turns are having a knock on effect to other vehicles behind the vehicle turning left. The Berowra Cycleway has created many negative experiences for users of the Pacific Highway at Berowra and potentially setting up a more dangerous situation for Cyclists who are traversing left turn intersections on the Cycleway. I show in the video the glaring inconsistencies of Bike lanes along the Pacific Highway from Asquith heading north to Berowra. New sections of curbside that have no considerations for Cyclists at all. Yet at Berowra a total road lane is handed over for Cyclists to use. The los of this lane has impacted local residents, local businesses and large semi trucks trying to stop on the highway to grab refreshments at the 7 Eleven at Berowra. Just as I was finishing this video I was contacted by local residents about another problem where cars in the afternoon peak times are getting cut off from turning left into Berowra Waters Road because many motorists were entering the new Cycleway across the unbroken lines. So it's more evidence that the new problems on the Pacific Highway at Berowra are stacking up.Anyway my video will be sent to Matt Kean, Hornsby MP and he can pass it onto Transport For NSW. The world is watching Matt.

One Cicada Cats Eye Collection B2 Redback Spider Feeding & Roundup EDUCATIONAL VIDEO leokimvideo 2024-02-03 | I find one Bush Cicada in its final hour of life. Interesting to look at considering where I live we have had a very small Cicada season where I live. I let a Ant colony enjoy the Cicada feast and look at the unusual Blue road Cats Eyes that are used to identify Fire Hydrants in Bushfire prone areas. I collect road Cats Eyes as a curiosity while walking. But the main course of the video is looking at my growing Redback Spider numbers who are attracted to the custom built spider lures I have in the garden. The most mature Female Redback is named B2. She has laid up one spider egg sac on the 31st January. B2 gets a feisty feed from me and I show you how Redback Spiders use a combination of web and spider bites to capture a meal. It's always fun to watch. I find more Redback spiders as I look around the spider lures. Bubble & Fluffy Cat are also featured.

Redback Spider & Wasp Nest Roundup Summer Pest Control In Australia EDUCATIONAL VIDEO leokimvideo 2024-01-15 | The deadly Redback Spiders are back, but they are now airborne and presenting in areas I've never seen before. They seem to now find comfort living against the metal roof well away from their normal garden homes. I also find an established Paper Wasp nest. These wasps can be very difficult to deal with and they have a very nasty sting. Paper Wasps unlike Bees can keep stinging you to protect their nest. To nail the Wasp and Wasp Nest I use a product I love called Blitzem Wasp Killer And Nest Destroyer. I also find Redback Spiders in the spider lures I have set up in the garden. The Sydney Summer for 2023 / 2024 has been very Humid & Wet. It is the 4th wet Summer in a row and maybe this is why the Redback Spiders are searching out higher ground. The pest control spray I use against the Redback Spider is a very cheap pest spray from ALDI. It seems to be very effective. Finding the Redback Spider setting up where I prepare the Cats food was not nice to find. I hope this new trend of dropping down from the roof is going to stop. I also look at the Citrus Trees a week after using a very cheap homemade Stink Bug control method to see if all the stink bugs are gone.

Stink Bug ADULT Infestation $3 Homemade Solution Knockdown Test Vs FLAMETHROWER leokimvideo 2024-01-06 | Adult Stink Bugs are highly destructive pests that destroy Citrus crops. This video investigates if a mixture of 2 Cups Hot Water, 1 Cup of White Vinegar and 1/2 Cup of Dishwashing Detergent is a cheap and effective way to kill Adult Stink Bugs. In my experiments I find out that standard White Vinegar 4% acid content works as well as Double Strength White Vinegar 8% acid content. I was skeptical about the effectiveness of this very inexpensive insect spray until I saw how quickly it was able to disable Nymph Stink Bugs in very short time. People online were saying this simple spray has little effect of Adult Stink Bugs. The Stink Bugs you see in this video are Musgraveia Sulciventris which is a large stink bug found in Australia, sometimes known as the Bronze Orange Bug. It is considered a pest, particularly to plants in the Citrus group. Bronze Orange Bugs suck the sap from trees, which causes the flowers and fruit to fall. The common name of Stinkbug refers to a malodorous liquid that the insect sprays when threatened. It is composed of alkanes, cimicine and aldehydes from glands in the thorax. These compounds primarily serve as protection against fellow arthropods, to which they are lethal. However, the defensive chemicals of M. Sulciventris are known for being among the most debilitating to vertebrates, which is likely a defense specifically aimed against birds. They can cause damage to human skin and even cause temporary blindness if sprayed into the eyes. The Bronze Orange Bug can spray the liquid at a target up to 0.6 m (2 ft) away.Web Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatomidaeen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musgraveia_sulciventrisen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegaren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detergent
Ozito 1500W Award Winning Electric Lawn Mower Best Free Junk Treasure Ever Found leokimvideo 2023-12-31 | On the Trash & Treasure Curbside Cleanout I find a Ozito 1500W EcoMow Lawn Mower. This is a very cheap Lawn Mower that Bunnings sell in Australia. This Electric Lawn Mower is mains powered, so you need to have a power cable always running to it to cut the lawn. It's this power cable that seems to divide the users as many people don't like dragging a power lead around behind a Lawn Mower. There are some very positive things said about this Ozito Lawn Mower in Product Reviews and it scores some very high ratings. It comes with a 3 Year Warranty yet I find these amazing Ozito Lawn Mowers thrown out before their 3 Year Warranty has expired. Anyway I bring this Ozito 1500W Lawn Mower home and set it up against some very long grass. I was treated to the glory of Ozito 1500W grass cutting power and 96dB noise levels. The Ozito ELM 1563 is a Product Review Award Winning Electric Lawn Mower for 2023.Anyway at least I saved this Ozito Lawn Mower from becoming more Chinese gifted landfill.

Thomas & Troll Friends City Toy Hunt 2023 New TWR & TOMY Takara GoGo Adult Japanese Trains 😳 leokimvideo 2023-12-23 | Just before Christmas 2023 I go to two major retailers in Sydney to Toy Hunt and inspect the Thomas & Friends stock. The Myer City store has a whole top level devoted to Toys and Hobbies. In the past Thomas And Friends had a large Thomas The Tank display area. But as I find out in 2023 Thomas has been kicked to the back of the toy department into no mans land. Thomas & Friends now has Trolls as a neighbouring brand. This was well away from the most popular toy brand which is Bluey.I did find some of the new / old Thomas Wooden Railway and purchased two Diesels at a discounted 15% off price reduction. Next I go to a famous Toy / Collectable / Hobby store called Hobbyco and it's in the Queen Victoria Building. Historically Hobbyco has been a go to place to find unusual Thomas & Friends characters, Hornby & Bachmann Thomas train sets and anything that's normally difficult to find anywhere else. I was pleased to see after a few very difficult years the Thomas Toys have returned and what was on offer was good. The AEG Metal Engine (Push Along) Thomas toys are difficult to find anywhere, but there was lots of AEG Motorized twin packs and a lot of the new / old Thomas Wooden Railway. In fact this is the first time I have seen amount of this TWR toys. As always Hobbyco was fantastic to look around, the model railway display looked amazing and the trains are is now managed by a fantastic staffer. In doing the research for this video I stumbled upon the TOMY Takara website. They hold the Asian license for the Thomas & Friends toys. Looking at TOMY's version of Thomas All Engines Go that they call Go Go Thomas revealed to me how their styling of the characters hasn't upset the size balance of their Plarail trains or track system. Looking deeper I see all the TOMY glory of how Motorized Thomas trains should be. It's all incredibly beautiful and in a way not that unchanged from the much earlier Thomas toys. This is so different Vs a company like Mattel who seem to alter the Thomas toys at any time they can.I then find on the TOMY Takara website a new higher detailed Plarail Train system called TOMY Plarail Real Class. This is a product like aimed at adults who are looking for realistic trains that can run like a toy train system. It's a very curious bend on doing model railways. A new more realistic track system has been developed that still connects to the classic TOMY Blue Plarail track system. I think it looks amazing but I can't afford it.

Thomas ALL ENGINES GO My Busy Book Online Picture Vs Real Models Horror Show Investigation 🤯 leokimvideo 2023-12-18 | I purchased a Thomas & Friends All Engine Go My Busy Book in the lead up to Christmas. I paid $20 for the only one left in store. I did a detailed review of this item and looked carefully at the small models in the book. I could see that this was nothing like previous My Busy Book Thomas And Friends offerings. The models were very shabby and lacking loads of the small details that are normally on My Busy Book characters. A comment left on the review pointed out that the back of the book showed incredibly well detailed models. This had me investigation the online sales photos used to promote this My Busy Book. In this video compare the amazing online photo to the small models I find in the book. The differences are ASTONISHING!But why are these Thomas All Engines Go characters done in a very sub standard way? Considering the My Busy Books in the past have presented some amazing small models for $10 how come the book thats now double the price is so incredibly disappointing. The running joke I see in the comments is the knockoff Thomas toys are better detailed Vs the licensed toys. It certainly seems that way. Thomas All Engines Go My Busy Books (online description read)Thomas is an eager little steam engine on the Island of Sodor. He loves new adventures and friends. Thomas and the others work hard to be Really Useful Engines! Nia likes to try new things. Bruno is a smart Brake Car with lanterns. Ride the rails with exciting engines and railway cars! All Engines Go Busy Book includes full-page illustrations, an engaging story, figurines, and a playmat. All Engines Go My Busy Book features colorful illustrations, a storybook, 10 figurines, and a playmat to spark your child’s creativity.I also look at the Hot Wheels diecast cars & Thomas & Friends area at my local retailer at 7 days prior to Christmas. It's amazing what's NOT there but thats situation normal. I did find in the premium toy and hobby shops in the city some Thomas Wooden Railway stock. Only taken 2 years for it to be freely available in store.

Thomas & Friends AEG My Busy Book Train Wreck & Christmas Thomas Hot Wheels & Disney 100 Silver Coin leokimvideo 2023-12-15 | I found a NEW Thomas & Friends My Busy Books and it's based on All Engines Go (Thomas AEG). I compare this new book / models to the classic Thomas And Friends My Busy Books. Apart from a massive price difference there is a disturbing lack of detail with the AEG My Busy Book. When doing a hard up comparison between Thomas, James, Percy & Nia the differences are ASTONISHING. All the models from the Thomas AEG My Busy Book are incredibly disappointing. I have always spoken very highly about My Busy Books but sadly this Thomas & Friends AEG version is absolute trash. And to put the icing on the cake the way this book was sold in store was more akin to a trap sale. So yeah all this makes me very angry. I also look at the Thomas & Friends and Hot Wheels stock at my local KMart twice, first at 14 days to Christmas and then 10 days. It's amazing to see what sells and what's not for sale. The Thomas & Friends area is now only 1/3 of a shelf cell in a aisle. There was once a time when Thomas & Friends toys occupied one side of a whole aisle. I purchased a 1/2 Ounce Silver Disney 100 Collector Coin. This Silver coin comes in a display box and once it's out of packaging is quite small. One side has Queen Elizabeth 2 and the other a Disney 100 motif. Honestly the side with the Queens head is far more impressive Vs the Disney stuff. Do these unusual Silver Collector Coins have any real investment value?Web Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_%26_Friendsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_%26_Friends:_All_Engines_Goen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Wheelsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kmart_Australiaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walt_Disney_Companyen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_coin
VINTAGE National Pana Cycle Box Fan Vs NEW KMart ANKO Box Fan FOR THE FANBOYS leokimvideo 2023-12-06 | A Box Fan comparison between a classic National Pana Cycle fan that's made in Japan Vs a cheap new KMart ANKO fan that's made in China. Both these Box Fans have moving louvers, are 30cm / 12 inch is size and both have 3 speeds. But as I start to investigate the designs of these fans I uncover a few interesting facts about power output and fan blade design. I did look at a lot of info about the Vintage Pana Cycle fan but it was difficult to pinpoint a exact era for the fan. To me it's shouting in style as something from the 70's. I did see similar Pana Cycle fans with timers said to be early 80's but info on the one I found is difficult to find. As a total distraction I do get into removing the yellowing plastic that happens of old plastic electrical goods and toys. Anyway I just hope the electric fan collectors and fanboys who love fans appreciate a dedicated video looking into the deep bunny hole of domestic fans. These fans are very common to see thrown out as curbside rubbish and all too often it's the cheap n nasty made in China fans that are thrown out within a few years of purchase.

Big Tom Cat Fight Caught On 2 Cameras At 3 AM leokimvideo 2023-11-18 | A Black Tom Cat and Tabby Tom Cat have been constant visitors to our home. They like the FREE cat food that's up for grabs. One night when it was raining Tabby Tom Cat was able to sneak up on Black Tom Cat. Then the BIG Cat Fight started. These two Tom Cats are both stray cats, they were always hanging around Little Cat (a stray cat who had a litter of Kittens at out home). I know Tabby Tom was with Little Cat but our neighbour saw Black Tom was also with Little cat. Has us rethinking who is the real Father of the Kittens. Social conflicts among Cats depend solely on the behavior of the cats. Some research has shown that cats rarely pick fights, but when they do, it's usually for protecting food and/or litters, and defending territory.The Kittens names are Rodney, Bao, Bubble & Teddy. Sadly Little Cat died 6 months after having this litter of Kittens and Teddy died at 11 months old. The cameras I used are the old ARLO 2 system which has free cloud data held for 7 days without subscription or membership. I'm not sure if such a deal exists with the newer ARLO products.

Funnel Web Style Spider Infestation Found 200 Deadly Spider Nests EDUCATIONAL VIDEO leokimvideo 2023-11-11 | I accidently found a major Australian Spider infestation very close to my home. This may explain why we had a rogue Male Funnel Web spider at our place in late Summer. This Funnel Web infestation is unusual for a number of reasons and this is exposed in this video. I grew up in a part of Sydney where these spiders were common, but i have never seen a massive infestation like the one in Berowra next to the Tennis Courts. I used a Bore Camera to look down 90 Funnel Web nests to establish what I found. Funnel Web Spider holes do look very similar to Cicada holes, especially when you see a large number of them on the ground. Funnel Web spiders disguise their homes well and amongst loose leaf litter. Funnel Web Spiders live underground in a well kept web lined spider lair. The design of their nest is very impressive and would require a major amount of earth work to complete. Funnel Web Spiders are very dangerous and deadly spiders. If you live in Australia your taught a large black ground loving Spider could be a Funnel Web. It's important to always treat these spiders as being dangerous. Funnel Web Spiders are milked of their Venom to create a Antivenom to save people after getting a Funnel Web bite. The Male Funnel Web Spiders are the most dangerous and sought after for their Venom. The reserve where I found this Spider infestation is owned by Hornsby Council. The area needs to be cleaned up as it's made more dangerous by all the fallen tree litter piled up next to the Spider infestation. A very simple way to make it uncomfortable for these spiders is to keep it clean and free of the bugs and critters they feed on. The urban myth that Bush Turkeys clear out Spiders is a myth. I prove that in this video. Maybe I will investigate this Spider infestation further, it would be nit to see a complete spider to fully understand who's living down the Funnel Web holes.Web Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_funnel-web_spiderhttps://australian.museum/learn/animals/spiders/funnel-web-spiders-group/https://www.reptilepark.com.au/sydney-funnel-web-spider/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_brown_trapdoor_spideren.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_brushturkeyen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandicoot

Stink Bug NYMPH Infestation $3 Homemade Killer Solution That Works FAST leokimvideo 2023-10-28 | Stink Bugs are a major pest on Citrus trees. A mixture of 2 Cups Hot Water, 1 Cup of White Vinegar and 1/2 Cup of Dishwashing Detergent is a cheap and effective way to kill Nymph Stink Bugs from your Citrus trees. In my experiments I find out that standard White Vinegar 4% acid content works as well as Double Strength White Vinegar 8% acid content. I was skeptical about the effectiveness of this very inexpensive insect spray until I saw how quickly it was able to disable Nymph Stink Bugs in very short time. The ideas online of using Vacuum Cleaners, Hair Spray and just Water will not solve the underlying infection problem. Sure a Flame Thrower will work but then I will lose all the developing fruit on the tree. The Nymph Stink Bugs you see in this video are Musgraveia Sulciventris which is a large stink bug found in Australia, sometimes known as the Bronze Orange Bug. It is considered a pest, particularly to plants in the citrus group. Bronze Orange Bugs suck the sap from trees, which causes the flowers and fruit to fall. The common name of Stinkbug refers to a malodorous liquid that the insect sprays when threatened. It is composed of alkanes, cimicine and aldehydes from glands in the thorax. These compounds primarily serve as protection against fellow arthropods, to which they are lethal. However, the defensive chemicals of M. Sulciventris are known for being among the most debilitating to vertebrates, which is likely a defense specifically aimed against birds. They can cause damage to human skin and even cause temporary blindness if sprayed into the eyes.

ALDI Gardenline 1600W Electric Lawn Mower Cheap $99 China Landfill Buyer Beware 🤮 leokimvideo 2023-10-21 | I find a new looking ALDI Gardenline Electric Lawn Mower being thrown out as rubbish. I investigate this lawn mower looking at wear and tear and ponder why is it thrown out only a few years after being made. On inspection this lawn mower has very little signs of being used BUT I can see it's been up against wet grass. In fact this lawn mower in it's short life was always up against wet grass because of the 'wet years' that followed 2019 in Sydney. This ALDI lawn mower is marked as a November 2019 build, 1600W 240V electric motor and in Australia comes with a 1 Year Warranty. It was sold in ALDI Australia for $99, at that price possibly the cheapest electric lawn mower available on in the market. Wow what a bargain!I look at the Product Review website and this model of mower is listed. It doesn't rank very well. There seems to be a design flaw in the drive system to the blades. Yet there is always one person who spins a positive story around buying cheap stuff from China. Sadly this cheap lawn mower is $99 landfill.

Redback Spider Roundup RIP Teddy & Wingless Wasp Spring Equinox EDUCATIONAL VIDEO leokimvideo 2023-09-30 | On the Australian Spring Equinox in 2023 I do a Redback Spider roundup looking at all the spider lures in the garden for Redback Spiders. This time sadly Teddy is not around. He passed away in late March aged only 11 months old. Teddy is buried next to his Mum Little Cat. It was a really sad time after Teddy was gone, I didn't make a video for 6 months so this video is very much a catch up of multiple things.We had a prowler at our home caught on camera. Dealing with the Police in relation to this was very interesting indeed. I did set up 2 new spider lures and had a lot of Dyson vacuum cleaners found in the Winter curbside cleanup. I also found a interesting Box Fan that's made in Japan, possibly classic late 70's era. But one of the most amazing finds was a Ozito 1500W EcoMow. This mains powered lawn mower is surprisingly powerful and can cut through the longest grass without hesitation. I go into the review area to talk collectable toys, Barbie film Hot Wheels, Disney Pixar Cars Lightning McQueen, especially the Disney 100 collection. I show some curious Thomas The Tanks AEG style and also some Dark Side toys that I just purchased. I also explain how there is one last segment to the KMart 'stock reduction' videos and how after a long time the problems were being resolved. We have had a fairly bad rat problem that developed over Winter. It had me having to use a second generation rat bait that claimed to kill in 3 to 5 days. This bait needs to be in bait stations and from what I could see on the Arlo security cameras this bait is very effective in pulling down a very established population of rodents. I look carefully at the Citrus trees in the backyard and explain how treating them rough can be a very good way to bring out their best. And of course the flamethrower comes out to tidy up any Wasps and suspicious spider webs I find. Bubble (Little Cats Kitten) does help along the way and in this video she is 1.5 years old.

My Dyson NEVER DID THIS! Vax Compact Power Carpet Washer / Hoover PowerDash Pet After 8 Months 🤮 leokimvideo 2023-03-29 | A look into the mysterious realm of Carpet Vacuum Shampoo machines where prices vary a lot, and sales jargon supports a high price. After a lucky find at Bunnings Hardware I found a Vax Compact Power Carpet Washer for $173 AUD. I had already investigated the price of a Hoover PowerDash Pet on Amazon and it varied between $87 - $100 USD with a huge $113 USD shipping fee. So I looked on Amazon Australia and the price was a whopping $550 AUD. This started to expose to me the mysterious price drift in the Carpet Shampoo Vacuum marketplace. I only became aware of the Hoover PowerDash Pet via a simple review on NewBeanMeister22 channel. I thought my carpets were very clean, the Dyson V8 stick vacuum does a really good job. But once I put the Vax Compact Power Carpet Washer over our 3 carpets I was astonished how much filth it was able to remove from the carpets. The water collection tank had black gunk with pet & carpet lint.This machine is a compact style model which holds 1lt of fluid. I had to do 3 resets of the machine to clean our carpets. It's a very easy machine to clean out and reset. The amount of cleaning fluid required is minimal. I have owned Vax Compact Power Carpet Washer for 8 months and each time I clean the carpets I notice the amount of gunk lifted from the carpet is less. In the strangest way I did find a Bissell Redi Clean PowerBrush Pet thrown out as rubbish. This Carpet Shampooer looked to be in very good condition and isn't very old. I took it home and find that it stills works. I will investigate this at some point in the future.Carpet Vacuum Shampoo machines are something you wouldn't use weekly. This smaller style of Vacuum is suited for high traffic areas and isolated stains. But doing a bigger job can be done if your prepared to keep refilling the water tank and emptying out the dirty water. There is a small filter that's easy to clean out and removing hair and carpet fibre from the roller is not difficult. And maybe the secret to keeping these styles of machines working is to keep on top of the dirt and hair that can get trapped around the roller. I'm very happy with my Vax Compact Power Carpet Washer more so because I paid $173 for it and not the $550 that was being asked on Amazon for the Hoover Powerdash Pet which is an identical Carpet Shampooer.

Redback Spider Tank 3 Cricket Feast Alpha Male Spider EDUCATIONAL VIDEO Part 10 leokimvideo 2023-03-22 | Redback Spider study that looks at the development of baby Redback spiderlings in a controlled environment where the only food source is other Redback spiders. Spider Tank 3 has started off with 3 Redback spider egg sacs from Barbie the Redback Spider. I do add more Redback spider egg sacs along the way. I also find a Black House spiders egg sac to add to the Redback spider tank to spice it up at episode 5. This episode reveals just how few spiders remain in Spider Tank 3, I look at the biggest spiders (that are still very small) through the Borescope camera. There is a dominate Male Redback spider that is possibly 3 months old considering it's maturity (Males only live for 6 to 7 months). It's this Male spider that in this episode shows off all the necessary skills to survive in a glass box full of spiders. To draw focus on the last remaining spiders I add a Cricket feast to understand exactly who is left in Spider Tank 3. This episode marks the 3 month point of the Spider Tank. It covers January 15 to January 25.This spider study will be done in parts and not weeks. Much of the video footage will be shot via timelapse and I use a AUPRO90 Bore Camera to see the small stuff up close. Hopefully we learn lots of stuff along the way or else I get into HUGE trouble.The AUPRO-90 Standalone Borescope is sold as a kit to inspect gun barrels. An old friend suggested to see how the spiders look via this device.This device can be found via eBayhttps://www.ebay.com.au/str/ozzistraightshooterVideo posted as educational, documentary, and scientific and forms part of my Insect / spider study series of videos.Leokimvideo is the home of the 'Big Spider Loves Daddy' videos on YouTube!

Thomas Wooden Railway Thomas The Tank FINALLY FOUND 🤯 leokimvideo 2023-03-17 | OMG I finally found the NEW SPANKY Thomas Wooden Railway Thomas The Tank and NEW TWR Playsets. TOYMATE had the stock in store and I have been searching for this 2021 Thomas toy for 2 years now. This new Thomas TWR now uses classic wooden railway track connectors. All the dumb ideas that were present in Thomas Wood both painted and unpainted have been stamped out. The new Thomas Wooden Railway is a premium high quality toy / collectable. It oozes quality, class and collectability, it does not disappoint BUT it comes at a high price. Now I can finally see how beautiful this new TWR Thomas is it has me wondering why did Mattel dump the classic TWR and develop Thomas Wood. What was the main driving force to make this change. I have looked over Thomas & Friends toys for many years and constant change is very much part of the fabric of this toy. But the stripping down, downsizing and misfit track connectors of Thomas Wood showed everyone that even the greatest minds in the toy industry make huge mistakes. But was it really a mistake? Or just part of the game of change for change sake.I also show a scene that was not in my video about the trashed Hot Wheels stock that was on the pegs being sold for full price. This damaged / soiled stock was scanning at $2. Some people suggested this stock would scan at a reduced price. Sadly no, it was full price at the scanners.

Kmart Shoplifting Study 5 Days Of Stock Taking Madness & Ideas To Solve This Problem 🥰 leokimvideo 2023-03-16 | Kmart slogan is Lower Prices For Life, but sadly my local Kmart has a huge 'stock reduction' problem. This is a 5 day study of what's moving out of store but this time I visit the store in the quiet times of day. It reveals a disturbing repeated trend of the same activity in the same areas over and over on a daily basis. Of course Hot Wheels car packs are a very popular pick, but so is Pokemon Cards, Cosmetics, Clothing, Electronics, Smartphone Accessories, Pet supplies, Collectable Toys, Stationary and basically just about anything in store. This time around I point out what I feel are the weaknesses in store design and some really simple things that could be done to add tamper proofing to all ANCO stock lines. I'm starting to understand the times that the stock in store is being manipulated. I certainly understand the places in store as it's been the same spots over and over for almost a year now. When I find stolen or manipulated stock I take it to the back of store so staff can set it up as 'mark down' specials. But even doing this does not stop the nasty thieves from picking off more stock. The weakness of the 'wire spider' system can be seen in this video. I do look at the Pokemon stock on day one and again on day five. It's amazing what I see. I show how Pokemon stock is displayed in a neighbouring Kmart. The ANKO brand is a in house Kmart brand that means 'A New Kind Of' which was set up from 2008. Kmart is a fantastic place to shop, amazing prices always but it makes me really sad to see how just a few people cheat the system. There is new AI technology creeping into retail that can assist in shoplifting problems and understand customers identity but privacy advocates are strongly against this technology. In 2013, Kmart began a roll-out of new store layouts. Garden plant sections were removed, and back of store areas were cut back. There was an expansion of floorspace to stock and an increase in the height of displays. The stores were given a more 'Department Store' feel with front of shop checkouts replaced with an area for non-self serve customers to pay at in the centre of the store. This new layout is I believe a huge factor in the problem I see going on.

Hot Wheels Trashed Thomas Tank Monster Tuck Impossible 2014 Video Analytics Anti-Viral Syndrome 😡 leokimvideo 2023-03-11 | The Hot Wheels bins you see around Christmas are the favourite place to dig up Hot Wheel Gold. But what happens to all the damaged card Hot Wheels stock? I find a Hot Wheels 10 pack that's actually a 5 pack and some Mario Kart toys that have had Karts removed. Then I Toy Hunt for Thomas The Tank impossible trying to find the Thomas Monster Truck as new 2023 stock is put in store months after Christmas. I'm not paying 10 times the price on eBay for a Thomas Tank Monster Truck.I pull up a complicated video from 2014 that is very curious in how it was treated by the YouTube algorithm. Not that I knew it at the time but this was the beginning of a major change on my YouTube channel. In fact this video is very typical of how videos are quietly hidden away never to be found. I show the analytics of this video to explain the wonderful way YouTube rewards producers. 2014 is also curios for a number of other reasons and in the years following there were many drama's that had a huge negative effect on YouTube producers. I also have a little chat about the previous video to this one on my channel, it's amazing how no one can unravel the Thomas & Friends mystery between the Trackmaster 2 and Trackmaster 3 AEG Cargo Raceway Playsets.

Thomas Cargo Raceway Set TM2 Vs TM-AEG Mystery & Toy Hunting Thomas Wooden Railway 😡 FRUSTRATING 😡 leokimvideo 2023-03-08 | I go on a toy hunting search in Sydney looking for the new style Thomas Wooden Railway toys in two of the major toy & hobby stores. Both these stores use to have an amazing range of Thomas & Friends stock, trains, playsets whatever. But it seems we now live in very different times. At one store I noticed a new Thomas All Engines Go motorised playset that looks awesome. It's the Thomas & Kana Cargo Race, big playset with a big price of $200. These is no way I would pay that for this playset. When I got home I had a look at a Thomas Trackmaster 2 playset I purchased 18 months earlier and it looks like the exact same set but it's half the price. It is called Thomas and Percy Cargo Race. When I started to investigate how one set has over 90 pieces yet the other only has 75 pieces yet the two playsets look identical it blew up my mind. One thing that is being exposed is the huge price jump in the Thomas toys in Australian retailers. A playset like this in my mind is only worth $100 and not a cent more. I'm pretty sure in the USA these playsets are sold for $60 USD to $80 USD. Anyway while I was in the beautiful empty toy department I did stumble upon an incredible Hot Wheels Mario Kart playset. It's called the Mario Kart Rainbow Road. It's BIG, it's COLOURFUL and it's shouting out AWESOME. This set had no batteries installed but I could see it was quite tricky, a very clever random element is set up on part of the track that ensures the winner will be as chaotic as the real Mario Kart game. There was a Mario & Luigi Kart there and I had a 'secret play'. From that I worked out this is a absolute buy. It's just so sad I can't do detailed toy reviews as I use to do on YouTube, the busted AI here has destroyed my channel. If a video has any elements that is seen as entertaining kids I get smacked down, the video will die and it's impossible it earn back the cost of the toy via the video. In fact it's impossible to do that on anything now. I do wonder why is a major toy company having so much trouble supplying the premium new Thomas Wooden Railway toys. You can't make a cent when you can't supply the product. Or is the choke point the retail buyers who are being very selective in what's seen in store. While I was roaming around Hobbyco in Sydney I did notice some really cool model railways stuff. Of course I take a closer look.

Tom Cats Fight Extreme Yowling At 3AM Big Mess Cat Food Everywhere 🙀 leokimvideo 2023-03-05 | Two Tom Cats have been fighting over Little Cat. The Tabby Tom Cat is father to Little Cats four Kittens. This is the first of two Cat Fights I caught on Arlo security camera. Maybe what's most interesting here is the amount of Yowling or Caterwauling (Tom Cat Talking) before the Cat Fight. It was a huge mess, cat food everywhere, cat fur all over the place. It made Little Cat & Fluffy Cat very confused to see such a mess. A yowl is a long, drawn-out meow that indicates worry, discomfort, territorial concerns, or mating issues. If your cat is continuously yowling, there may be a medical problem that warrants a visit to your vet. If your kitty has not been spayed or neutered, yowling may indicate the search for a mate.Web Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meowaspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/common-cat-behavior-issues/meowing-and-yowlingen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kittenen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_cat
Redback Spider Roundup Funnel Web Spider Found February 2023 Horror Show EDUCATIONAL VIDEO leokimvideo 2023-03-01 | On the last day of Summer I do a Redback Spider roundup looking at all the spider lures in the garden. It's incredible what I find! This is the third wet Summer we have had in a row and something is messing around with the spiders. I also find a Sydney Funnel Web Spider. This is the most deadly spider in the world and it's the first Funnel Web I have found at my home. It's a Male Funnel Web and maybe with all the humidity and bad weather it's wandered into the suburb looking for a mate. I can't find any Funnel Web nests at my home so I travel 15km to a park in Sydney where I played as a teenager. I remember this park was a honey pot for Funnel Web Spider and 45 years on the Funnel Webs are still there. It lets me show you the Funnel Web nests, their size and how they are disguised with leaved woven into the entrance of the Funnel Webs lair. Using my iPhone I get some pictures that show a Funnel Web in it's nest. The park I remember as a kid looks so different now, so many new established trees and the old trees look really old now. We have a new backyard friend now ripping up the lawns and garden and it's called a Bandicoot. These weird Australian nocturnal animals seem to eat anything. And what's amazing is they will dig up and eat Funnel Web Spiders. I can't help but think there is a connection between the Funnel Web Spider and Bandicoot who may have given the Funnel Web Spider a very hard time. I do find a Redback Spider and deal with some Stink Bugs. It's incredible what a little bit of flamethrower does when tidying up pests in the backyard. Teddy & Bubble (Little Cats Kittens) help along the way, at this stage they are 10.5 months old.

Stink Bugs 1000 FPS Flamethrower 🔥 Sony RX100 Amazing Potato Cam 🔥 leokimvideo 2023-02-25 | I'm still getting Stink Bugs on the Citrus trees and I know the ultimate control method is a quick lick of fire from my flamethrower. This time around I drag out a Sony RX100-4 (2015 era) and set it to 1000fps slow motion. There are two priority modes when shooting high frame rate, one is Shoot Time Priority (3 sec burst) the other is Quality Priority (1.5 second burst). Considering the work I was doing has a duration of over 1.5 seconds I had to use Shoot Time Priority. Sure we get 1000 fps slow motion but as raw video is looks like it's shot by a potato camera at 1080p. In Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud I use Lumetri Colour (Auto correct) and Unsharp Mask custom settings to make a Potato look like a Lemon. I was going to invest in a AI video tools to re render the whole video but as it stands the price and redner times of these tools are outlandish. Anyway seeing the effect of the flamethrower on the ganden pest Stink Bugs is almost surreal. This event in real time happens in a few seconds but when seen in slow motion a totally new perspective is revealed. Especially the way the stink Bugs spray their defensive stink spray. I had recently done a very complicated video of related to the effect of detergent Vs fire on the Stink Bugs eggs that are laid under the citrus tree leaves. I learned lots by studying the effect of the eggs and seeing which eggs hatched Nymph Stink Bugs. My little study confirmed to be why my unconventional method is the best for controlling a Stink Bug infestation that can render a Citrus tree fruitless.

Ozito ELM 240v Electric Lawn Mower Study Good Award Winning Cheap Rubbish ✅ leokimvideo 2023-02-19 | I find thrown out two Ozito 240v mains powered electric lawnmowers. One is a Ozito ELM 1536 1500w 2019, the other is a Ozito ELM EcoMow 1400w 2017 era. Both mowers are had failures, both showed varied amount of use when looking at the cutting blade damage. The owner of the Ozito ELM 1536 1500w 2019 lawn mower explained how it failed. Considering the mower was being thrown out in 2022 it's not very old and showed very little wear and tear. It's failure point is something that's unusual. I was very curious what the Product Review website said about these cheap electric lawnmowers and this let me understand how today's consumers love to buy something made in China that cheap, has a 3 year warranty and if it fails you just buy another cheap lawnmower. The idea of a quality built item that could last 10 years is not part of the equation. Buying spare parts is also a joke. Yes some models have a replacement cutting blade but it's a 'special order' and expensive Vs the total cost of a lawnmower. I also look at the latest Ozito ELM lawn mower on offer in Bunnings and I almost sold one to myself considering how cheap these lawn mowers are Vs the expensive Lithium battery lawn mowers and petrol lawn mowers.

Naughty Kittens BIG Storm ⛈️ Percy 6 In 1 Set $29 To $39 ⚠️ GOLD THOMAS FOUND SMASHED 😡 leokimvideo 2023-02-16 | A BIG Summer lightning storm had Teddy & Bubble Kittens going crazy. Caught in the act capturing Lizards. I have found the new version of the classic Thomas & Friends playset 6 in 1 Builder set with Percy. The new set is now Thomas AEG styled and radically different in multiple ways. Gone from 60 PLUS pieces to now 42. The price has jumped up from $29 to $39 at Kmart Australia. (There were some sneaky price rises on the old style set during 2022). I will be investigating what's gone on here, lots of change BUT WHY. I also find my very valuable & collectable 2014 70th Anniversary GOLD Take N Play Thomas completely smashed to 1000 pieces. This is a little Thomas toy that's pulling huge prices on eBay and other online sites. Maybe now mine is totally trashed it's going to be worth a lot more money. I should list it on eBay and see how it sells. It's definitely a rare, unique and highly collectable Thomas now. It could pull multiple thousands of dollars. Also still no Redback spiders at all in the garden or spider lures.

Mac Studio Dust Sucked Up In 3 Months & Simple Fix 🥳 Keyboard & Mouse Fail Designs 🤯 leokimvideo 2023-02-11 | I purchased an Apple Mac Studio in 2022, it took 3 months to be delivered and I have used it for 3 months. I knews from my previous iMac that dust ingestion can build up over time. The Mac Studio with it's BIG M1 ULTRA chips and super computer ability needs incredible cooling. Much of the Mac Studio height is hiding two huge cooling fans and heatsink that exhaust to the rear. The air intake is under the computer which to me seems really weird. When my Mac Studio arrived one of the first things I did was make a simple custom dust filter to snuggle under the computer around the air intake. What has been a big surprise is how much dust my Mac Studio has collected in my custom filter. In fact it's a tad scary. In the video I look at filter material options and make another simple filter. Of course do this at your own risk as it is changing the airflow design of the Mac Studio. But my biggest concern is what happens if all this dust is allowed to collect and coat the inside of the Mac Studio and clog the cooling fans. I could see that going on with my 8 year old iMac at the 6 year point. Apple make amazing gear most of the time, but there are some designs that are not so amazing. I look at the Keyboard & Mouse that come with my Mac Studio. Yeah amazing in all the wrong ways. The Mac Studio was announced on March 8, 2022, alongside the Apple Studio Display, and released on March 18. At the time of launch, customers reported shipping delays for the Mac Studio as late as May 2022. The delay has been attributed to the global chip shortage.Rear ports : The Mac Studio is designed as a higher-grade machine than the Mac Mini but lower than the Mac Pro, and is positioned similarly to the now-discontinued iMac Pro. There are two models which are driven by ARM-based SoC: the M1 Max or the M1 Ultra, which combines two M1 Max chips in one package. The Mac Studio has an identical width and depth to the Mac Mini, both about 8 inches (200 mm), but is around 3.7 inches (94 mm) tall. It has four Thunderbolt 4 (USB 4) ports, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, HDMI (up to 4K @ 60 Hz), 10Gb Ethernet with Lights Out Management[9] and a headphone jack. The front panel has two USB-C ports (Thunderbolt 4 in M1 Ultra models) and an SD card slot (that supports SDXC cards and UHS-II bus), making it the first desktop Mac since the 2012 Mac Pro to have I/O on the front. It is cooled by a pair of double-sided blowers and a mesh of holes on the bottom and back of the case, which helps reduce the noise of fans spinning. Nevertheless, there have been extensive early reports of excessive fan noise. Mac Studio models with the M1 Ultra are 2 pounds (910 g) heavier than those with the M1 Max as they are equipped with a larger copper heat sink. Apple says the Mac Studio performs 50 percent faster than a Mac Pro with a 16-core Intel Xeon processor.The Mac Studio supports up to four 6K monitors connected via Thunderbolt, and a fifth monitor via HDMI. It was introduced alongside the Apple Studio Display, a 27-inch 5K monitor with an integrated 12 megapixel camera, six-speaker sound system with spatial audio and Dolby Atmos support and a height adjustable stand.Web Links :en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Studioen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_(computer)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMacen.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Pro
Stink Bugs 18 Day Egg Study Flamethrower Vs Detergent Whats The Best Pest Control leokimvideo 2023-02-06 | Stink Bugs are a huge garden pest. They can destroy your citrus trees ability to fruit. This video is a study of the effect of fire Vs detergent on the Stink Bugs matrix of eggs they lay underneath leaves. Stink Bugs have an ability to replicate themselves hundreds of time in their 6 month lifespan, so it only takes a few mating pairs to create an explosion of Stink Bug numbers. Stink Bugs defend themselves by spraying out a toxic liquid that has a very strong odor. This liquid can injure skin, eyes and is lethal to other insects. It also stops birds from being able to pick off a Stick Bugs as an easy meal. I have know for a few years that one of the best ways to take out a large infestation of Stink Bugs is to use fire. It's environmentally friendly as there are no chemicals used. The Stink Bugs are killed instantly and drop to the ground. The fire does have an effect on the tree but it bounces back quickly. By the best season you will have flowers and fruit. But if the Stick Bugs are not controlled and their eggs not destroyed the destructive Stick Bug cycle just repeats every year. A safe method of controlling the Stink Bugs is to use a Weed Dragon. They are LP gas powered weed control wants that can deliver a burst of very hot burning gas on demand. Because they are normally on a wand you can reach the higher parts of the trees. It's so satisfying to control Stink Bugs in this manner. To understand where these Stick Bugs (Musgraveia Sulciventris) lay in the insect world is quite complicated. The Pentatomoidea are a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order. As Hemiptera, they share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. The roughly 7000 species under Pentatomoidea are divided into 21 families. Among these are the stink bugs and shield bugs, jewel bugs, giant shield bugs, and burrower bugs.Musgraveia Sulciventris is a large Stink Bug found in Australia, sometimes known as the bronze orange bug. It is considered a pest, particularly to plants in the citrus group. Bronze orange bugs suck the sap from trees, which causes the flowers and fruit to fall.
