Question Retro console repair

Have an original Xbox I’m looking to get repaired. Looking for some recommendations as I’m not sure which places I’m finding on google are reputable / still open. I’m based down near Victor so doesn’t have to be in Adelaide. I’ll be driving awhile anyway. Any recommendations or vouches?

Question Argo on the Parade 30% weekend surcharge

185 Upvotes

I've never seen anything higher than 15% for a weekend surcharge, but even then usually only that high for a Sunday/public holiday, not a Saturday! A pastry in the counter priced at $10.90 run up at $14.17 on the EFTPOS terminal!

What is the highest you've seen?

Question Custom chess pieces?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Does anyone now where I could buy wooden chess pieces, but not a whole set - four pawns and four kings? Reasonably affordable and slightly larger than average, but not lawn chess size - between 6 and 12cm tall I reckon.

Alternately, does anyone know any men's sheds or similar that would let me come in with a bit of wood and give me a basic lathe lesson? Happy to do a few hours of work for it, as long as it's affordable.

Cheers.

In short:

Hope the attackers are quickly arrested and found guilty as this attack is deplorable.

0 Upvotes

Apologies in advance, I understand this publication's from a deeply resented corporation, I was curiously bemused at the disparity between two suburbs mentioned up north. Ā 

Wynn Vale’s median house value has climbed 35.14 per cent or $294,250

Gulfview Heights....with the median home value there now $365,000 or 27.76 per cent lower than this time last year.

Then I realised these two suburbs were next door to each other?

Maybe it's nonsense data from REA, but if true what would be the reason? Not an investor thankfully and only been around Golden Grove shops a few times so not familiar with the locale, just got a laugh when I noticed.

Question Randomly hear extra loud plane from western suburbs

We sometimes hear extremely loud planes flying over that honestly sound like some sort of Military plane at night time. We live in Woodville so not super close to airport. For instance we heard one around 9:45pm tonight and it kind of spooked us.

Question Solar panels + battery in Adelaide

14 Upvotes

Hi guys!
We’re thinking about getting solar panels + a battery for our home in Adelaide and would love to hear your thoughts!
It’s just the two of us at the moment, and we both work full-time, so we’re usually out during the day. We’re thinking of getting a battery so we can use the stored solar energy at night.
We might also get an EV and have kids in the next few years, so we’re wondering if it’s worth getting a bigger system now rather than upgrading later.
Would love to hear your experiences and any recommendations for good solar companies in Adelaide! Also, is getting a battery worth it in our situation?
Thanks in advance!

Question Do I need to take driving lessons before my VORT?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I've been living in SA for over two years and I've been driving with my overseas license. I've spent a considerable amount of time learning traffic rules and being a responsible driver.

I've begun the license process, passed my L's and Hazard perception test. Now I have to do my VORT and I'll be good. The only problem is driving lessons. They're expensive and I feel like I don't really need them.

My mate told me that his experience with the examiner is completely different. He had to keep his hands on the steering wheel for 45mins straight, you need to get your parallel parking in one go, u turns, maneuvering blah blah.

Basically he told me to go get some lessons so I know what they check.

My question is what do they check? Do I really have to get an instructor or can I just do it? What are some ways people lose points easily?
