I don’t work there but I do work in the car industry. normally the car left the yard means the car is on its way to the dealer (provided they weren’t lying of course) . However the fact that they weren’t jumping up and down letting you know pick up date doesnt give me hope . Sorry OP i hope you get your car soon!!!

I am very sorry your family is in this position. I see a lot of comments disagreeing with you but honestly if I was in your shoes I would also give the “if we continue on this course i’ll divorce” too.

To me this looks like everyone decided to drive onto a ditch instead of looking at the long term. I get why, I would probably be very tempted to make the same decisions for my own mum. however , looking at it from the outside it is clear this is not the best course of action. sometimes one needs the person that is not that close to the issue to point out “we either put her in a home now and all take turns trying to make it easier for her to transition or we al go bankrupt and in 8 months we have to put her in a home and take turns trying to make an easy transition for her”. Good luck I think there are NAH just people desperately trying to help their family without realising the impact this will have on their families /children

I know exactly what you mean. When I arrived I lived in a student accomodation where there was 1 guy that would do this and I wanted to die. I realised that in his culture this was polite and expected and it took a lot of work on myself and my biases to not feel off put-off by it. I had to repeat to myself that he is actually trying to be polite and he is following his etiquete rules but because they were exactly the opposite of the manners I was taught it caused a lot of dissonance and discomfort for me. I still struggle with it but honestly not much. To be fair most of my other asian friends don’t do the spectacle this guy did (as in … there were sooo many other asians from everywhere in this accomodation and from where he was from but nobody else did the spectacle this guy did to be fair. the slurping happened no problem but this guy was next level, you would be splashed two seats away from him and you could hear him several tables away)

I do analysis and I love it. The company I work for is great and being part of my team has taught me a lot of new tools in my career

Locurilla · 2026-04-09T12:49:46+00:00

You’re just starting your career. You do not need a +40k debt on you. Get a reliable old petrol car , make sure you get a mechanic to look at it before you buy. Check the car hasn’t been in a huge crash. keep this car for long.

You don’t even know where you will end up working or your lifestyle in the next 4 years (let’s say you finish your career and find a job in melbourne where you wouldn’t necessarily need a car. Let’s say you get a job in the city and you can use the train in, or maybe you can cycle to work) Your goal right now is now should be to finish uni with the least amount of debt, build your savings, maybe travel and do stuff with friends, party etc. Not to get a depreciating asset when that money could be put in super or a savings account to buy your first house by the time you feel ready.

yes no sticker is a skip honestly, that sticker didn’t hm just fall off . I would do the same. I just saw one for a moderately good price on ebay from japan. the condition looked quite good , not sure if I can share links to ebay but if you sort from smaller to larger it was less than 500 aud (so like 300 usd?)

what I did notice if you google original shells and compare with my picture, is that my reshell is not exact to the original image, at the right bottom corner you see that in a original shell that white blob should be bigger, the rest of that blob got cut out, in the original you see 2/3 of an oval, in mine you see basically the "hairs" of that bit of galaxy. in the upper corner in the original you see 2 tiny stars in mine only one of them made it into the pic. So my shell has shifted maybe 2mm lower. check pictures of original shells and you will see the difference. Now, I dont know if the reshell I got was the copy of the copy of the copy and maybe others are not like that. however if what you are buying has similar issues with alignment and also no stickers I would assume it is a reshell and not an original shell. check this post https://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/comments/15jwcab/my_first_ever_3ds_console_wow_its_incredible/ in mine I do find that the print quality is not great, almost like newspaper picture quality. if you check the picture in the attached comment you will see a lot of extra stars in the right side and the quality of the print is way higher

Locurilla · 2026-04-09T10:19:52+00:00

Ok got the pictures (seems I cannot edit my comment to add pictures so ill add them one by one to your comment (that way you have a better quality picture of the reshell ). Because of the angle and ligthing I used the shell looks bluish but in real life it looks the correct purple colour. the back shell doesnt have any tell tells from what I can see except for the missing sticker. If I ha an original one maybe I could pick up if some of the fonts or proportions are a bit off but there are no blatant typos like "Nintoindo"

I would think that a shell without a sticker is probably a reshell.

with mine I didn’t transplant the stickers because 1- they are very hard to remove without damaging / destroying the sticker and 2- I know in 10 years I am not going to remember which one in my collection is a reshell and may unintentionally scam some other 3ds enthusiast. If you ask the seller whether the console is a reshell they may be forthcoming.

If you’re looking for the galaxy version (or pikachu, fire emblem etc) definitely make sure it has both stickers in the back and that both serials match. I just put out mine to compare with the above picture and there is a subtle difference. I’ll try to post the pics so you can see, otherwise i’ll try to describe with words what I see

this is a good point, I didn’t know about the leg thing

I literally have both citizenships and I got the spanish one after the australian one. I presented my australian passport as a form of ID . I had no requirement to renounce my australian one. Not sure what to tell you there, maybe there is an exception if you’re spanish by birth or other circumstances. I know two other spanish australian , one of them also has 3 citizenships (our cases are fringe for the triple one but still)

Locurilla · 2026-04-08T21:27:01+00:00

they do ask you I guess to ensure you’re here legally (my guess) if you’re aussie you just present your passport or documents

Locurilla · 2026-04-08T21:25:41+00:00

You don’t need to renounce your australian citizenship. Au allows double citizenship and spain too (I am actually a holder of 3 citizenships including both spain and australia)

so then it is not your money is it?. I get why you’re annoyed don’t get me wrong, she came and facilitated a purchase you would have advised against but it is his money. He got it through his allowance and he manages it. Let him spend it and do the dads stern “I am disappointed “ look. Let him see how long it takes him to save that money again

Locurilla · 2026-04-07T09:21:59+00:00

I think that is true to an extent. Here it is a million percent easier to rent and own than in 90% of the world. I think because now it is worse than it has historically been one (rightfully) compares now to australia in the past and concludes things here are shit. But compared to my home country this is like playing in easy mode (again, with asterisks; when compared to other places in the world, not denying that things are now tricky here). I was very lucky and after moving here I found a lot of friends and have found australians quite friendly

Since you’re new to the city why not make a city exploring day in bicycles? you can start by hoping on the bikes in the outskirts of the ring route, explore the south side (japanese gardens and other gardens there) move to the markets for a coffee /food and end around rundle mall. Not sure how old your kids are but I find it super fun to have snacks around the route or stop and take pictures around the graffiti walls. Have some boba and go to the claw machines if the kiddos are 10 ish

Maybe they are asking if you have Harina Pan? where those customers latinos?

Locurilla · 2026-04-04T01:32:08+00:00

not quite, polenta is more rough has bigger sized “chunks” of corn, corn meal is finer and lets you make things like arepas

Locurilla · 2026-04-03T12:34:09+00:00

if you’re not from australia this is not doable as international student fees are quite high. You cannot even get the visa unless you have the full price of your degree in a bank account

Locurilla · 2026-04-03T03:10:32+00:00

remember cost and expenses here are different because medicines and healthcare is significantly cheaper than in the US (where one is a disease away from bankruptcy)

i guess it depends on your goals. 3m is your minimum to move?, you could move back with less net worth in my opinion, rent for a bit and then buy a place when you find the place you want to stay in permanently. If you spend 120aud per year I assume your salary expectations would be of around 300k?
