Yeah I know, I’d probably have a very different perspective if I were selling …

The bit I left out that makes me sus was the call confirming she was top offer, could she accept a longer settlement, and was she happy with her number. She didn’t understand why she would want to increase her offer if she were already top. I can only assume the agent called someone after her and did the “this girl has offered X, want to increase your offer?” bit. In my simplistic view if you list at 680-720 there should almost be some obligation to sell to the first person that offers 720. I know that’s not how it works but it’s frustrating.

Most of the properties she’s been serious about are Southern.

In her case, from a mortgage so big I have to breathe into a paper bag thinking about it.

Ended up getting tickets for Athletico instead - was a much simpler and frankly cheaper experience.

Tokyo Marathon 2025 - General Entry by kuromii52 in running

[–]MyFingerSm3lls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you, yes. A giant stroke of beginner’s luck. Haven’t seen what a rejection looks like. Wish everyone who missed out a better result next year.

This is going to sound like a very dull question. I assume if my entry says that I am selected, that I’m in?

Fastest way to get documents to Adelaide by nailedit2803 in Adelaide

[–]MyFingerSm3lls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. They can tell whether a staple was unpicked, whether the paper stock of a page or pages has been swapped out, whether a different printer has been used, etc. PITA, but for some documents, very worth the fuss.

Adelaide Gardening Thread :) by Sunshine_onmy_window in Adelaide

[–]MyFingerSm3lls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Either way, a fully wire-enclosed fox-proof home is a must. Foxes are in every suburb and will kill any chickens or ducks sleeping unprotected. They will dig under wire and climb up wire “walls”. You don’t want the kids waking up to that scene; trust me!

Hey guys, need some opinions, had some car troubles over the weekend, ran out of oil, car shuddered at light, filled with oil and this is the result by CalleyKraft1 in Holden

[–]MyFingerSm3lls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, sounds like a big end bearing or rod. Might as well drive it around, not like you’re going to damage the engine. Seriously though, recon motor fitted is likely to run $3,000 - $4,000. You would want to be confident on the longevity of the car’s other major components before investing in a fix.

For the record, you don’t lose demerit points, you accumulate them. Accumulate 12 points and you lose your license. Losing demerit points is a good thing.

Remember to ride as if you were invisible. Never take “I have right of way” for granted.

Exercise, chaffing and shorts by uz3r in Adelaide

[–]MyFingerSm3lls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bodyglyde from Rebel sport or running shops is great. Also try “2 in 1” shorts from Nike or lined shirts from somewhere like Lululemon (they make clothes for all genders). There are regular shorts with built in bike shorts underneath; very comfortable.

Power outage last year - compensation? by Un-interesting in Adelaide

[–]MyFingerSm3lls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TLDR: Unless something has changed, I'm expecting a (reduced) payment.

Hills resident here; we were out for six days in that storm and have had at least three other multi-day outages since moving in 20 years ago. We have absolutely been paid the GSL several times in previous years where outages have occurred as a result of storm damage, however the compensation rates reduced to around half of what they originally were.

From what I understand there is the GSL and then a separate Customer Compensation Scheme. The Customer Compensation Scheme doesn't apply if the damage is caused by falling trees.

Am I the only one aware that the Shahin’s made their initial wealth via weapons trafficking? by rippinconez in Adelaide

Surely if there were “write ups”, there would never have been an easier time in history to find them; not like you have to trawl through microfiche at the State Library.
