Welcome to the 1993 Bubble House in Karalee, Queensland, Australia. 3bds, 2ba, 4,477 sq ft. The price isn't available unless you sign in, but you can see the photos. (It's over $1m.) It has 11 domes and 20 rooms.
Tumblr media
We're goin' in. It's actually very beautiful inside.
Tumblr media
The hall is like entering a space tunnel.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not bad, huh? It's not a new house, but it's so spacey, it's still relevant. So, this is a dining area.
Tumblr media
The living/family room is round and clustered around an elevated fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The stovepipe goes clear thru the 2nd floor and out the roof. I'm thinking that this is a bedroom suite- look at the niches in the walls, and there's a door, possibly to a bath.
Tumblr media
Down here there's a multi-level TV room with home theater seating. Look at the swirling window.
Tumblr media
Off the main area there's a bar in a separate room.
Tumblr media
A kitchen in the round. The island is round and makes a nice table when chairs are placed at the counter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2 floor library.
Tumblr media
Downstairs, there's a proper library, also.
Tumblr media
That window looks like it should open, but I doubt if it does. Either that, or it reminds me of the Nautilus. I think that this could also be a bedroom with a lofted area.
Tumblr media
Upstairs is a larger, more formal living room.
Tumblr media
The round home office has room for 3.
Tumblr media
The bath looks like a mini pool with an escape hatch.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even the laundry room is spacey. And, there's also another fridge in here.
Tumblr media
Out on the large patio there's a pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a terrace above.
Tumblr media
And, here is another view of the house.
Tumblr media
Check out the entrance gate.
Tumblr media
The lot size is 1.27 acres.

merry smutmas series
--
Lance gets an invitation to an old teammate’s place to ring in the new year but he finds himself too distracted by someone in particular to care about the ball dropping.
The invite came in the mail; a dying trade his former teammate would tell him.
A little brown envelope with silver glitter all over it, surely his girls helped him put it together. The card inside was hand written, Sebastian's scrawled cursive with pictures drawn in pencil crayon and covered in glitter at the bottom.
You're invited to the Vettel household on December 31st at 9pm for a New Year's Eve celebration.
Please rsvp by December 22nd.
With love,
Sebastian, Hanna & the Vettel children.
Lance didn't have plans, his parents were doing their own things and Chloe would be in Australia with Scotty and his family so he took his phone out and texted Seb right then.
To Seb: Hey man! Got your invite, tell the girls I said their drawings were adorable. Just letting you know I'll be there :)
It took Seb 10 minutes to reply.
From Seb: Thanks Lance! The girls say hello and thank you. We can't wait to see you.
--
Lance finds himself on the Vettel's doorstep on New Year's Eve, a bottle of some expensive Swiss wine in hand. He knocks on the door and Hanna opens it with a little boy in her arms.
"Lance!" She smiles, stepping to the side for him to come in.
"It's so nice to see you," the younger driver says, kissing her cheek before saying hello to their son.
"Please make yourself at home. Food and drinks are in the kitchen and Sebastian is somewhere around here." She tells him, rocking the sleepy boy, "you know how he is." She laughs, shutting the door.
Lance nods, smiling at her as he follows her into the house. The place is full, he showed up around 10 rather than the 9pm invite but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Everyone is all over the place; he goes over to say hello to Seb and then bumps into Mick who was there with his girlfriend, sister and her boyfriend.
He does in fact make himself at home, putting the wine in the kitchen before getting himself a drink. His red solo cup has some vodka in it and he spins around, looking for the cranberry juice. He sees everything but that.
"Need help?" A voice comes from behind him and before he turns, he knows exactly who it is. He smiles when he does turn, now face to face with her. "Hi y/n."
"Hey Lance," you smile, "what are you looking for?" You walk over, hugging the man hello.
"Cranberry juice." He tells you and you nod, walking to the fridge to grab it.
Lance watches you, admiring your outfit; a slinky silver top and a black mini skirt that frankly wasn't very family friendly but was on par with the theme of the night. He had met you when Seb became his teammate at Aston, you had a habit of following your brother around the world when you got bored of your life. You were only a year younger than Lance but he was intimidated by you.
You were just as bubbly and fun as Seb, loud and out there but in Vettel fashion, you could become broody at the snap of your fingers; something that only happened if someone fucked over your brother or at least that's when Lance noticed it.
Now if Mick had walked into the kitchen then, he'd be teasing his friend.
He was aware of the crush his friend had on his other friend. Mick had encouraged Lance to talk to you time and time again but he could never work up the courage. When he finally did, you were in a relationship and you had been since.
"Here," you hand the bottle over to him, "I put it in the fridge. It gets gross.. well even more gross when it's warm."
Lance smiles, "thanks." He pours the juice into his cup, before settling it back into the fridge. In the meantime, you had been filling a few shot glasses with what looked like tequila.
"Are you driving tonight?" You asked, downing one of the shots. Lance shook his head, "took an Uber."
"Perfect," you handed a shot over to him, picking up another one for yourself. "Bottoms up, Stroll." You tapped your glass to his and down the tequila.
Lance makes a face, clearing his throat which makes you laugh. "So, how are you? How's Fernando as a teammate?" You ask him, pouring some soda into a glass.
"I'm okay. He's pretty okay too, he's no Sebastian Vettel though."
You smiled, "that's what I like to hear. I've been keeping track, you did great this season."
"Yeah? You think so?" He asks and you nod, leaning on the counter as you take a sip of your soda. "Thanks," he smiles, taking a sip from his glass in hopes that it covers the blush on his face. "So uh.. how have you been? How's your boyfriend?"
"I'm good," you smiled, "as for him? Who knows, he's probably fucking some model somewhere."
Your words catch him off guard, Lance chokes on his vodka. Your brows furrowed, his hand rubbing at his chest as you looked at him. "Sorry, I just... I take you two aren't together ?"
"No," you shook your head, "it's whatever though."
"Sorry to hear that," he tells you and you shrug, smiling at him. You were about to say something but Gina was shouting for you, something about shots. "Excuse me," you smiled at Lance, picking up the bottle of tequila and the pack of shot glasses before heading over.
As much as Lance wanted to be sorry about your relationship ending, he couldn't be. This must be some sort of gift from god, for you two to be in the same place while you're single and he had enough liquor in him to tell you the truth.
--
The hours go by and it's inching closer to midnight with each passing second and you were dancing around the kitchen as you got a snack. A slice of pizza held between your teeth as you poured yourself a drink.
"Hey," you mumble, mouth full as you take the bite and hold the pizza. Lance smiles at you as he gets himself another drink. "Hey."
"You good?" You asked, setting your pizza on the counter. Lance nods, "perfect, you?"
"Yeah," you smiled, shimmying your shoulders as you danced your way over to the Canadian driver. He smiles, watching you. The many tequila shots added up over the night and the fact that the tiles were sticky from what seemed like spilled soda, caused you to slip and fall right into Lance.
His drink spills all over your very cute top. "Oh damn," you tsked, looking down at yourself. "Oh shoot, are you okay?" you asked, looking at him to see if anything got on him.
"I'm okay, are you?" His hands held your forearms, steadying you. "Do you need to change?"
"I probably should," you tell him and Lance nods for you to walk, his hand holding onto your arm to keep you steady. He knew the layout of the house, he had come over for dinner many times before and he had spent the night after one too many glasses of wine.
Lance walks you up the stairs, hands on your waist as you two head up. You walk into the guest room and Lance shuts the door, "are you okay ? Do you need help finding anything?" He looks at you as you sit on the bed.
You shook your head, "all good, Lance. Thank you."
He nods, taking that as his cue to leave so you could change. As he turns towards the door, you grab his hand. "Can you.. undo the knot?" You turned your back to him, pulling your hair up.
It was two single knots done up with a bow behind your neck and your mid back that kept your top up. Lance carefully undid the knot on your back, letting the strings fall to the sides and your bare back left exposed.
"The.. the other one too?" He asks and you nod, "please."
Lance is hesitant, but he reaches forward and pulls the string, undoing the knot. The silver fabric falls to the floor, the beading on it clings when it hits the floor.
Your back is still facing the driver, you've dropped your hair back down but it's abundantly obvious to Lance that he's stood in the room with you, while you were.. well, topless.
"I should.." he starts but you turn to face him, his eyes shifting down to steal a glance at your tits and he looks back up at your face - it took all but a second and he was but a man.
You smile, holding his jaw with your hand. "Stay."
"I really shouldn't." He whispers and you step closer, my chest pressed to his. "Why not?" You asked, standing on your tiptoes, lips ghosting over his.
He doesn't answer but he lets you kiss him, his cold hand rests on your lower back, pulling you flush against him. "You're drunk," he whispers against your neck and you shake your head, "I'm not."
"Are you sure you want to do this?" His eyes find yours when he pulls back and you nod. "I do."
"Okay," he says, kissing you again.
Your hands make quick work of his shirt, undone the buttons as he kisses down your neck to your chest. Lance has got an arm around you, his lips moving down towards your tits, his lips wrapping around your nipple.
The sound that leans your mouth was like heaven on earth to him; he can't wait to find out what other filthy sounds you could make.
It was much too loud downstairs for anyone to have a clue what was happening upstairs. The door was locked and he knew you had at least 40 minutes to midnight.
You push him away for a minute, the man looks at you confused as you scoot him back to the bed, letting him fall onto the soft mattress. Lance expects you to get on top of him, not sink to your knees in front of him.
"Baby-" "Shut up," you tell him, undoing his pants.
He smiles, carefully pulling your hair out of your face as your hand wraps around his cock. Lance bites back a groan, watching as your hand moves up and down slowly, your lips brushing over the tip.
"Please," he whispers and you smile, looking up at him through your lashes as you take him in your mouth. This time, he does groan out loud. "Fuck," he sighed, your hair into a make shift pony tail in his hand.
Your cheeks hallowed, head moving up and down. Lance watches your every movement, eyes fixed on you and everything you did; had he known, he would have spoken to you much sooner.
The stifled gag comes when the tip of his cock hits the back of your throat, eyes watering as you pull back a bit. Lance pulls you up, "as much as I want you to keep going, I wanna cum somewhere else."
"My mouth is just as good, Lance," you tell him, wiping the side of your lips with your thumb, sucking your finger. You don't miss the way his cock twitches at the action.
He smiles, "I'm sure it is, but c'mere."
You let him pull you up before you get on his lap, straddling him.
There was enough liquor in your systems to give you the courage to do things you wouldn't normally do but that you’d definitely remember. 
Thighs squished on either side of him and your arms over his shoulders. His hand slides down from your hip to your ass, giving it a little squeeze. He smiles at you, admiring you. "Now, are you gonna stare at me all night or fuck me like I know you've been wanting too?"
For the second time that night, Lance had been caught off guard by your words. "You.. knew?"
"Of course I did, your staring wasn't exactly discreet, babe." You smile, pinching his cheek before you kiss him.
Your skirt bunched up on your hips, panties pulled to the side as you sank down onto his cock.
His hand on your hip guiding you, letting you bounce on his lap, his name falling from your lips.
Lance bucks his hips and your nails drop down from his shoulders to the scratches along his back. He lets out a groan, his face buried in the crook of your neck.
Your hand tangles in his hair, pulling his head back so you can kiss him. You kiss all over his face, Lance's cheeks red not just from the lipstick you had on but from the blush forming on his cheeks; though if you asked him, he’d blame it on the liquor. 
"Fuck," you mumble, Lance's arms around you to keep you steady as you bounced on his lap, back arched slightly.
His hands squeeze at your hips, fingers digging in hard enough to leave behind fingerprints. 
“Mmm there,” you breathe, chest pressed to his. 
Lance's lips find your shoulder, he bites down softly when he feels you clench around him. “Gonna cum for me, sweetheart?” He whispers into your shoulder, peppering kisses over where he had just bitten. 
Humming, your arms are wrapped around him, over his shoulders when you cum, wetness covering his cock. It takes only a few more thrusts and Lance follows behind you, the two of you holding onto each other for a while. Your legs are like jelly when Lance helps you up, letting you fix yourself.
He too get redressed and you change into a different top, fixing your skirt and your makeup before turning to him.
"11:58, we can make the ball drop." You grab his hand, pulling him out of the room with you.
Everyone was in the living room, watching the TV and chatting as they awaited the count down. Your brother notices your return, as well as Lances, who stood behind you.
"Outfit change?" Seb asks, handing you a glass.
You nod, "spilled soda on my other top." You tell him, watching as he passed a glass to Lance.
Seb hums, nodding. "And you required Lance's assistance to change?" His brow raises and your cheeks go red. "I.. I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yeah," Seb laughs, "whatever, y/n."
Lance smiles, his arm over your shoulder as the countdown plays; 10, 9, 8.
Your fingers interlock with his; 7, 6.
His cheek presses to yours; 4, 5.
"3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!" The people in the room cheer, friends hugging and lovers kiss. Lance leans over and you turn a bit, your lips pressing to his for a new years kiss.
"Happy New Year, Lance." You smiled, wiping the lipstick from his lips. "Happy New Year, Y/n."

And I feel perfectly fine
Companion piece to the Max Verstappen x bestfriend!reader social media au
✨Set after Y/N’s first date with Elliot✨
A/N: I’m ALIVE!

But I really miss this blog and the smau so…we move. I hope you guys enjoy these. If you don’t…mind ya business and pretend they never happened haha, I really hope they don’t ruin the smau for anyone! Anyway…enjoy…I hope
Tumblr media
You take your shoes off in the taxi and step straight out onto the granite paving outside the building, your Mach&Mach heels in hand. It’s a nice evening, you think to yourself as you enjoy the warm breeze and the faint scent of sea air. I had a nice evening, you think as an afterthought.
The concierge greets you with a smile, asking how your night was, and you stumble over the answer. He doesn’t notice and doesn’t care, bidding you a perfunctory goodnight as you pad through the lobby to the lifts. You miss the lifts from the old building, with the scratched and worn wood panelling. These are all sleek and cold and the mirrors are some treated glass that makes everything look glum. It’s the mirror, you tell yourself when you catch sight of your own reflection as the lift lurches up towards the penthouse.
You fidget on your way up, thinking what you’ll tell him about your evening when he asks, because you know he will. Just like you know you’ll have to avoid his running shoes right by the door. Just like you know he’ll be awake, on the sim or doing some last minute packing. You know either way he’ll be looking for his old blue and white fleece. You know you’ll lie and say you don’t know where it is and you know he’ll believe you.
It’s the first time all night you’ve felt even a little nervous, and it’s a strangely addicting nausea.
The first thing that happens when you set foot inside the dimly lit hallway is that you step on a running shoe. You stumble forward and the shoe slips out from under you, flying into a cat, you suppose, judging by the cartoonish meow that emirates from somewhere behind you.
“Enfant désordonné,” you mutter as you lad down the hallway towards the living room, dropping your own shoes as you go. “C'est comme vivre avec un enfant en bas âge.”
“Hello,” he calls to you, and you don’t mind that he doesn’t even look up from the sim. You prefer it, even. It makes the fact that you were out without him seem more normal, though it isn’t. You can’t remember the last time you were out without him when he was home.
You wander over to the hulking set up, trying to figure out what track he’s driving. Nordschleife, you realise when he flies through the banked corner. You glance down at him, lit up in blue by the light of the screen, his normally soft features contorted into the hard lines of concentration, eyes shuttered and focused. Putting a hand on his head, you gently carding your fingers through his hair just once, and he loses the rear for a second, correcting himself with a click of his tongue. He says something rude in Dutch under his breath and you laugh at him, reaching down to grab a drink from his mini fridge before heading over to the couch and turning on the TV.
For a while it’s like any other evening.
Eventually you see the screens go black in the corner of your eye and he frog leaps out of his sim rig before heaving over to sit beside you.
“What are we watching?” Max asks, cracking his knuckles as he kicks his feet up.
“The decay of humanity,” you answer with a snort. “Love Island Australia,”
He laughs, his UV glasses sliding down his nose a little. Your eyes linger on him as he fixes them. You’ve teased him about them relentlessly, and you’d never admit it, but you like them.
Wordlessly, you both shift so that he’s lying on the corner of the couch and you’re curled up next to him, his cheek resting against the crown of your head so that you can feel when he finally speaks.
“How was dinner?” He asks during the advert break, the words mumbled into your hair.
“Good. I had lobster Thermidor,” you tell him, getting only a hum in response. “I saw a girl from school at the restaurant, too. I hated her at school, she was so…she used a crocodile birkin to carry her PE clothes,”
This means nothing to him, but you feel his cheek lift in a smile as he hums just to prove he’s listening.
You stay quiet for a while, muscles unwinding to the best of Max’s steady breathing. He wants to ask, the question is lingering unsaid in the small space between your bodies. You know because last time it was you that had questions. You wonder if he feels now like you did then - unsettled and selfish, scared to ask the question because you didn’t know what you wanted the answer to be.
There’s a part of you that wants to tell him how nice it was to discuss Proust and Dostoyevsky, and how nice it was to be able to go to a fish restaurant, how no one filmed you or asked for your picture. There’s a part of you that wants to tell him all the painful truths to make up for the fact that you hated that he wasn’t there, and that somehow that feels like his fault. But you don’t. Because even though you know a petty vindictive nature all but colours your blood, you try to be kinder with Max.
“He’s nice,” you say, telling yourself you’re too tired to say more even though deep down you’re not sure there’s more to say.
“Good.”
“He knows about wine pairings, and art,” you say with soft smile that he can’t see, “and he can actually share a dessert with me all year round without worrying about the calories,”
“Ah, well, you have to marry him then,” Max says sardonically, his shoulder shifting underneath you like a nudge. “Where’s the ring? It better be big,”
He reaches for your left hand, thumb sliding along your ringer as he pretends to inspect it. You jostle him with a scoff, trying to pull away but he squeezes gently, his fingers tangling with yours for a few seconds before he lets go.
The adverts end and the show comes back on. Within seconds, you feel your body begin to fall into a sleepy oblivion. Yeah, you think to yourself, this is a nice evening.

Important things we learned from Will’s Instagram live tonight:
(this is a super long post, and very rambling, so I’ve hidden it under the cut because it got quite out of hand quite fast)
Nearly of Creeper wear Crocs now
Will’s Winter attire is Crocs and fur-lined leggings
Will is excited about making stew (but doesn’t seem to know how)
He referred to a sprig of thyme/rosemary as a “tree”, and I think that’s adorable
There’s “lots to be announced” for Creeper next year: especially smaller shows and playing places they haven’t played before
Will thinks “plethora” is a nice word (he’s right)
He has fan art up on the fridge (proud Dad vibes)
He’s focusing on Creeper and Sanguivore right now, so there’s no update on Salem
Jake is “like a little Labrador; a wonderful, brilliant man”. He also called Jake an integral part of the Creeper family, which he totally is; we love Jake!
We’re hopefully getting more Darcia!
Will has a load of Planet Hollywood merch: a glass, a serving plate, and more
The chat repeatedly had to remind Will to stir the stew
Will left a wooden spoon in the stew for hours, which is…questionable cooking
The spoon is now also bent
The chat told him when to put the dumplings in the stew
Creeper Flu is a thing
Will admitted he’s not great at cooking, which at this point…I don’t think anyone was surprised.
Will called us all weird (affectionate), which…yeah, fair
Will says he’s never been very good at screaming, but he “can shout really loud”
New York in the next year definitely maybe?
The band want an actual whip for Hannah in Lovers Led Astray when they play live
Will found Michelle Phifer whipping the the heads off of mannequins as Catwoman sexy and impressive - he’s right on both counts
Fretting about the dumplings
“Hello Uber Driver in Australia”
Will has Autumn the mini Squishmallow from the McDonalds Happy Meals that he picked up on tour.

Why you'll survive a Zombie apocalypse with Kia EV
Kia Australia's new ad has launched a new ad highlighting Kia EV's silent electric motor, foam-insulated tyres and soundproof glasses.
Tumblr media
Kia Australia's new campaign for its EV is taking the internet by storm. The ad positions the vehicle as 'Zombie Proof' and showcases its new features, such as Voice Command and Smart Park Assist. 
The campaign has three different films centred around the Zombie apocalypse and was strategically released during the Australian Open. 
Executed by Innocean Australia, it shows a woman checking her fridge and discovering that she's out of milk. The newspaper clippings stuck on the fridge show that the world has been taken over by Zombies, despite this, the woman ventures out to the supermarket to get some milk. She arrives at the supermarket safely and has evaded the zombies given Kia’s new features that make it a quiet car. 
youtube
In another film, the same protagonist who has ventured out to get milk is again saved from the zombie attack as she uses Kia EV’s push button to make use of the new Smart Park Assist feature and can get safely inside her car. 
youtube
The campaign’s third film shows two friends out of drinks and one of them hits the grocery in another Kia EV, and like the earlier films, he too easily navigates through the wrecked town. The man greets the woman from the other campaigns outside the grocery store and after getting the drinks, he puts them into his car's built-in mini fridge. The two of them head back home in their respective Kia EV’s and reach home safely. 
youtube
Speaking about the campaign, Kia Australia GM of Marketing Dean Norbiato says, “A zombie apocalypse set against sunny Australian suburbia is a unique creative playground to showcase Kia’s EV range in a genuinely entertaining way.”
“We wanted to capture that laid-back Aussie spirit and ingenuity and distinctively showcase the role our range of electric vehicles, and their features, would play in a fantasy zombie world.”

What’s Trending in the Portable Power Station Market?
Tumblr media
The global portable power station market is expected to witness growth due to rising power consumption. Modern lifestyles and the rising usage of consumer devices have significantly increased the dependence on power, due to which, cases of outage largely impact communities worldwide. While this largely holds true for rural areas of developing countries, even a developed nation like the United States faced record-breaking power outages in 2020, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
During such emergencies, a portable power station is pivotal for keeping important gadgets, such as medical equipment, smartphones, laptops, and other electronic appliances, charged and operational. Many power stations are equipped with both regular AC outlets and USB ports, which enables charging multiple devices at the same time. Besides, they are available in a compact size, which has further increased their demand.
Our experts at Triton Market Research estimate the global portable power station market to advance with a CAGR of 5.6% in the forecast years 2022-2028.
Key Trends Influencing the Portable Power Station Market Growth
Growing Use of Smart Electronic Devices
A surge in the number of internet users, enhanced usage of smart devices, and increasing disposable incomes in developed economies have led to the expansion of the global smart home market. Consequently, the use of consumer electronics, such as home intercommunication systems, refrigerators, microwave ovens, personal computers, laptops, video game systems, tablets, and smartphones, as well as smart wearables, such as smartwatches and VR headsets, has grown.
These devices are now equipped with smart connectivity features and attractive interfaces to enhance user convenience, which has also drastically increased their power consumption requirements. Portable power stations are thus being increasingly adopted to ensure uninterrupted power supply to run these devices.
Rise in Outdoor and Camping Activities
Changing lifestyles and attitudes, along with a growing preference for leisure and rising recreational spending, have encouraged consumers to participate in outdoor activities. After a record 14 million caravan & camping trips in Australia in 2019, the number had dropped to 10.6 million trips by December 2020, as a post-pandemic effect. However, the caravan & camping economy massively rebounded post 2020, accounting for 12.6 million trips and $7.4 billion in traveler expenditure.
This, in turn, has spurred the use of camping equipment, such as rechargeable trekking headlights, mini-fridges, camping lamps, electric lighters, etc., which require power to function. Along with these, laptops and mobile phones are also essential to stay connected while outdoors, which calls for the use of portable power stations. Australia is one of the top camping destinations in the world, which is expected to position the Asia-Pacific portable power station market on a growth path.
Market Limitations v/s Promising Solutions
A major blockade to market growth is that the functional capabilities of portable power stations are not as extensive as those of portable diesel generators. Also, comparatively, they require charging, which is less convenient and time-intensive. Besides, the high cost of internal batteries in portable power stations makes them more expensive.
However, the use of lithium-ion batteries reduces the operational cost of portable power stations considerably, as their raw material is easily available at affordable rates across key regions like Europe, the Asia-Pacific, and North America. Moreover, they have higher charging capacity than sealed lead-acid batteries, and are hence preferred for time-sensitive applications.
For instance, Jackery Inc’s Explorer 1500 is a lithium-ion battery-based portable power station known for its faster charging times. Furthermore, compared to sealed lead-acid battery-based portable power stations, Li-ion battery-based portable power stations are more efficient, easily available, easier to carry, and offer superior energy density & fire resistance. Their growing use will play a major role in driving the portable power station market.
 
FAQs:
Q 1) Which are the key segments covered in the market report?
The key segments in the portable power station market include battery type, capacity range, power source type, and usage type.
Q 2) Which is the key region in the global portable power station market?
North America is the leading region in the global market, which accounted for the highest revenue share in 2021 and is also expected to witness the fastest growth in the forecasted period.

What are the best tiny home appliances?
Tiny homes allow comfortable living in a minimalist, eco-friendly way. But fitting all necessary appliances in limited space can get tricky. Choosing space-saving and energy-efficient appliances is key for a smooth-running tiny home.
This blog reveals the top tiny house appliances perfect for compact spaces. Discover the best tiny living equipment Australia enthusiasts prefer, from essential kitchen appliances to innovative laundry options!
Mini Fridges
Standard refrigerators dominate kitchens but take up prime real estate in small homes. Thankfully, mini-fridges provide sufficient chilled storage for tiny house residents. Top options like Westinghouse 60L fridges, Chef 142L models, and Omega 46L variants occupy narrow widths under 600mm.
Their compartments also split efficiently to organize fruits, veggies, drinks, or meal ingredients. For expanded capacity, stackable mini-fridge modules let you double capacity while controlling footprint.
Benchtop Ovens
Typical ovens also need substantial floor space. So tiny homeowners in Australia frequently install 300-600mm wide benchtops or slide-out ovens instead. These ovens contain all core functions, from grilling and baking to reheating.
Leading benchtop oven picks comprise Omega appliances, EuroChef ovens, and Premium compact ovens with preset modes or manual dials. You can even find space-saving ovens with stove cooktops for additional utility.
Portable Induction Cooktops
Induction cooktops are the darling of cramped kitchens! Portable single/double induction cooktops only need a flat surface for placement. Their cooking technology heats vessels directly without occupying permanent space.
Some top models are Eurolux and KitchenHQ portable induction cooktops with rapid heating, safety shut-offs and easy maintenance. For tiny home on wheels, these cooktops offer the ultimate flexibility during transportation too.
Washer Dryer Combos
Tiny living requires smart multifunctional appliances like washer-dryer combos. As the name suggests, washer-dryers incorporate washing and drying in one unit. This allows the installation of just one appliance instead of two separate ones for washing clothes.
Fisher & Paykel and Electrolux washer dryers with 120-150L wash capacity are well-rated compact choices. Tiny house builders like Tiny Homes Melbourne can also recommend the most suitable washer-dryers for your micro-dwelling dimensions!
RV Microwaves
Microwave ovens deserve a spot in every tiny home but need fitting minute models. Affordable RV microwaves actually work perfectly! Around 25L capacity RV microwaves spanning 300-400mm widths make meal prep simple while conserving space.
Sharp, Panasonic, and Daewoo are leading producers of dependable RV microwaves ideal for warming leftovers or reheating packed lunches inside your customized tiny abode.
Tiny Home Toilets
Small homes need compact toilets. Full bathrooms use lots of space. Tiny home toilets solve this issue.
Some top tiny toilet picks are:
Thetford portable toilets
Girard tankless toilets
Nature’s Head composting toilets
These toilets fit into tiny homes well. Portable toilets can move around easily. Tankless toilets use less water. Composting toilets don’t need plumbing or tanks.
Many size and design choices exist. You can choose an electric, crank, or gravity flush type, as well as a basic or modern style. All of this helps save space in tiny houses.
Conclusion
Appliance selections make or break tiny house functionality. Thankfully, Australia’s market today has no shortage of space/energy-saving appliances well-suited for small-footprint living. Investing in the right mini fridge, oven, induction stove, microwave, washer dryer, etc., powers seamless off-grid or eco-grid living comfort.
Get specialist guidance on appliances from award-winning tiny home builders like TinyHouse.com.au! Their experienced design consultations provide appliance recommendations that exactly match your lifestyle needs and micro-space constraints.

absolutely incredible discussion and i’d never quite considered this before! i’d like to add something i’ve seen in my life here:
TRIGGER WARNING: someone with suicidal ideation and self harm, faith talked about regarding Christianity (the person is still alive and well, and there is no church bigotry discussed)
i’m queer and autistic and have been raised in a Christian family, so i always accepted faith without question when i was younger. upon entering high school (age of twelve for australia) i starting meeting queer and neurodivergent friends for the first time and seeing how they were really impacted by this, and in one particular group of friends, i saw a lot of people lose their faith due to the actions of the church. one particular mate, who i shall name Jack, took his personal struggle with faith really hard - he started to struggle with depression and suicidal tendencies during this same time, as his faith had been really important to him, and without it he lost a lot of purpose and understanding in life.
(i’ve been blessed with a very supporting family and have come to reconcile my faith with being queer, which is another story entirely and slightly off topic for now.)
when we were about thirteen, this group of us went on a mini-holiday together. i was under the impression that Jack and I were the only Christians in this group. one night, i went to bed earlier than the others, and when i heard them come inside i pretended to be asleep so that they wouldn’t disturb me. at this time, i overheard their conversation, and realised that they’d stolen beer from the fridge and were drinking. this was absolutely terrifying for me, and i began to panic - we were hours away from my family, in a place i was completely unfamiliar with, and my friends were drinking alcohol. i began to cry as silently as possible, and could do nothing but keep listening as i heard jack ask the others specifically not to tell me.
the next day, i talked to him about it, and to my surprise he looked ashamed. he told me he was struggling with faith and didn’t really believe in God, and for a year or so he was atheist. i continued to be friends with him, saw marks of self harm on his arms, received a message from him late one night as he contemplated suicide, and he stayed in a hospital for a few weeks - i don’t know the details. in the end i found myself drifting away from that group because that feeling of panic kept returning when i was near them, but i continued to be friends with jack.
one night he called me, crying, and said he had found faith again. he had been watching the show the chosen (highly recommend btw) which shows the paths of Jesus and his disciples in an incredibly realistic way, and it humanises all of them so wonderfully instead of leaving Jesus to feel like cardboard like He so often can. he said that realising the disciples were real people let faith feel so much less unattainable, as though his mindset had been that he was unworthy of having faith.
now, i know he’s doing much better and we’re still very close. i know he experimented with underage smoking and drinking while he struggled with everything, which is what makes me think of jesper - losing faith can also be a remarkable loss of identity and trigger difficulties in a lot of ways, and they each looked for solace in something ultimately detrimental to their physical, mental and spiritual health. i also feel that the same path to understanding could belong to jesper: seeing that the saints were people, and that doesn’t mean that he’s just worse than them, it means that all people are offered unconditional love despite our flaws and struggles.
apologies if i’m a bit rambly, as i don’t have the energy to read over this, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to share! i actually didn’t consider how much my friend and jesper could line up, and this is helping me gain a lot of potential new insight into them both.
if anybody wants to talk more about this i would be absolutely ecstatic to communicate w you! the harmony of church and queerness is something i’m very passionate about aha. God bless! <3
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about Jesper Fahey and religion.
Whilst we know that Matthias follows Djel, Inej follows the Saints, Nina was raised with the Saints but is atheist because of her understanding about Grisha, and that Kaz and Wylan adopted atheism based on their childhood experiences, we don’t get a lot of information about how Jesper feels about religion. We know he was raised with the Saints and that when he swears he says “Saints”, as does Nina, where Wylan says “Ghezen”. It’s notable to me that Matthias and Inej either rarely or never invoke a name in vain; I think Inej may say “Saints” in that context the odd time I can’t remember, but I’d argue in that case it’s probably because she isn’t specifically naming them to do so whereas Matthias would have to but I’m working off memory there so please feel free to correct me. But Jesper’s actual relationship with the Saints is arguably quite ambiguous, with no particular passages that point us in either direction. (Show!Jesper is highly implied to be atheistic in season 1 when Inej asks him what he thinks about Alina and he says he doesn’t care whether she’s real or not so long as they get paid, but there isn’t really anything like this in the books to my recollection) I think that might be because he has a far more complex and painful relationship with religion than we see on the surface level, and this has particular links to Nina’s belief that the Saints were possibly real people but were simply powerful Grisha not religious saviours/martyrs.
When Jesper was a child, his father would read him bedtime stories “from his Kaelish book of Saints”. At the same time, Colm was unintentionally damaging Jesper’s view of Grisha power and of himself by forcing him to hide it and telling him “that’s what killed your mother. That’s what took her away from us”. Alongside the self-hatred this cultivates in Jesper, seen mostly in Crooked Kingdom since he’s most open about it in the beautiful, heartbreaking chapter 24, I think it may have also impacted his relationship with religion. To be told as a child that these people are worshipped and valued for the things they could do, the same kind of things he saw his mother do and that he could be capable of, but that his power is a curse and a shameful secret that has to be hidden from the world is so damaging. It effectively raises the question: If it’s different for me than it is for them, what’s wrong with me? Why am I less worthy of love?
When Jesper already had these feelings growing inside him, feelings that went on to massively impact all the relationships in his life (most notably his relationships with Kaz and Wylan but I would also argue his relationship with Inej is affected by this as well) and actively endanger him when he began to try and fill the void he felt with gambling, to emphasise these emotions with something that could have been so beautiful and given him so much comfort by turning it into something that can be used against him by labelling him as less than others is so heartbreaking and honestly painful.
Obviously this is just an interpretation or a theory but this is how I feel about it when I reread, if anyone else has thought about this please feel free to add anything or contradict it with your own interpretation I’d love to read it.
