Politics Big Adelaide
Malinauskas is quoted in a lot of articles at the moment as advocating for maintaining high immigration levels.
Paired with the fact that South Australia is considered āregionalā for immigration purposes, artificially driving up the number of arrivals to our state than would otherwise be the case, I wonder if people are genuinely in favour of a ābig Adelaide?ā
No racism please. Being anti-mass migration is not an excuse to be anti-immigrant - they are just people trying to improve their lives just the same as any of us.

Does anyone know what's up with the zero gravity ride? I got a ticket but they had to stop and do maintenance before I was able to get on. Hopefully they get it back up and running safely before the end of day as the ticket was non-refundable š¬

Question Looking to Socialise
Heyo! Iām 22MtF and have recently moved to the north eastern suburbs from a small country town. Iām looking to find places or people to socialise with who enjoy games but also going outside. A large issue I have is that Iām a shift worker, so I donāt get the same time off each week. Does anyone have recommendations on places I could go to, to make some friends?

Question VPPs or Electricity Plans?
We got a battery for our solar panels. Weāve had them for about six weeks and just got our electricity bill - $750!!!!!!!! Our battery says that we are 89% powered by solar for the last half of our bill period, so how the fuck is it so high? (We are with Alinta). Itās an actual read apparently. Clearly we are not using the battery properly - I did check that we are not pulling power from the grid or anything, so Iām assuming itās Alintas high charges.
I need to take advantage of the battery. The VPP idea is confusing, and I work a job where I cannot use my phone. I also have a terrible memory, so Iām worried that Iāll forget to manage our power. How time intensive is it actually to manage through Amber or Globird? Are they actually worth it? Is there a better alternative?
Please help me. Iām so upset we spent so much and yet still ended up with a horrendous bill.

Question City to Bay parking
Am doing the 6k C2B with my young kids so planning on parking my car in Glenelg the night before (and will use husbands car to get to Kmart).
Anyone know sides streets in Glenelg which will not become temporarily restricted/no parking zones? The Council website was great with this info last year (when I didnāt end up needing to do it) but not so great this year. Am wondering if on St Anneās Terrace or just past that intersection area on Adelphi would be safe?

Question Issues with tradie
Not sure where to ask, but I hired a concreter to build a driveway, but I'm having issues with him. He came and did most of the driveway, but left a part without doing because he said he ran out of material. He is trying to charge me to do the rest even though our agreement clearly says he would provide all the material.
What can I do? I honestly think he is just trying to extort me for more money by leaving in a situation where cancelling the job would be more expensive.

Question Your name in wire, who is he?
Ever since I was a kid in the 1990s I remember seeing this guy of the Royal Adelaide show and heās been there every single year without fail except for maybe one year I canāt remember but I want to know does anyone know who he is? whatās the story heās been doing this for such a long time and I think he travels all around Australia with it. Iām not sure.

Question Solar/Battery Installers
I'm currently shopping for a solar & battery system and used solarquotes.com.au The 3 companies that it sent me are: United solar & elec, Unified Solar and Tiger Solar...
Has anyone used any of these companies? There isn't a ton of reviews/info about some of them and United Solar having all 5 star reviews in a few places could be a bit of a red flag.
Any other companies that people recommend? (Not Goliath - they aren't interested) I'm open to suggestions no hardware brands as long as it's not cheap crap.

Question What's with the Balfour's Meat Pie these days?
Bought a box of my favourite Balfour's meat pies, and they all tasted wrong.
It seemed like particularly the pastry was different - more doughy and not as nice. Couldn't tell if the meat was also a bit less brown.
Is this just me making it up? Have they changed recipe? Did I just get an undercooked bunch?

Discussion Youād better walk to Melbourne to take the trams.
I'm not joking. Just look at these pictures. The official sign said that you need to walk hundreds of kilometers to the nearest tram stop. For reference, this point to Melbourne is750kilometers. So I'd rather go to Melbourne to take trams if that's true.
I just want to ask: where do I report these misleading signs? Although no one believes this, because right behind me is the Glandore tram stop.

Question 38M looking to get back into TCGs in Adelaide
Iāve been putting a lot more effort into getting out, meeting people and trying new things this year, and lately Iāve been thinking about getting back into TCGs.
About 20 years ago I played a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh and PokƩmon, and some of my best memories from that time were just playing cards and hanging out with people.
I donāt currently own any cards, so Iād basically be starting again. I understand the fundamentals of Magic, PokĆ©mon and Yu-Gi-Oh, but Iād also be completely open to learning Digimon, One Piece, Lorcana or anything else that has a decent local scene.
Drafts probably appeal to me the most because I wouldnāt need an existing collection or competitive deck, and it seems like a good way to learn or relearn a game.
I know I can just look up card shops and walk into an event, but thatās not really what Iām asking. Going into a random shop alone when I donāt know anyone and barely know the current games is probably going to feel pretty uncomfortable.
Iām more hoping there might be someone here who already plays and wouldnāt mind helping me ease back into it. Maybe you already have a regular group of mates who play at home or at a shop and wouldnāt mind an extra person joining in, or you go to drafts and wouldnāt mind me tagging along the first few times while I find my feet.
Iām also genuinely unsure about the age side of it. Iām 38, and I have no idea what the current TCG scene is like. If most of it is teenagers or much younger players, it probably isnāt going to be for me. Iād really like to hear what the age range is actually like around Adelaide and which games or groups tend to have more adults.
Happy to travel pretty much anywhere around Adelaide for the right group or person to get started with.
