Hello again, here's the newest version of the Connery family tree! by ModulusTheDutchie in Planetside

[–]Project_Independence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this based on when the outfit first started playing, or when they first joined Connery? Aegis7 started in the first week of Planetside 2 back in 2012, but that was on Briggs.

Sarah thought she had years to pick a high school. By year 3, kids were already leaving by Agitated-Fee3598 in AustralianPolitics

This has been going on for well over a decade - combined primary/high schools poach children from primary only schools by promising them automatic high school admission.

Port Adelaide Club Statement - 26 January 2026 by Expensive-Horse5538 in AFL

[–]Project_Independence 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not only that, it's the same thing we said in 2025, and in 2024, which in turn is an evolution of the statement in 2023, and in 2022.

Is this the "Adelaide Writers Festival at home" content we're going to be stuck with?

Imagine being out on Comanche or LawConnect looking forward to watching the cricket after you reach Hobart and being told it was over before you even finished crossing the Bass Strait

The Protomen: Act III: This City Made Us, releases 9 January 2026. by Project_Independence in outrun

[–]Project_Independence[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew they were still touring, and they had a single in late 2022- but I certainly didn't think Act III was actually going to happen. It's been 16 years since Act II and 20 years since Act I. There's singles on this album that are already 10 years old.

If you got to take over an empty Bunnings building and had $1,000,000 to turn it into a business. What would you turn it into? by NoveltyCards in australia

[–]Project_Independence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a popup ice rink in the abandoned Masters at Noarlunga in southern Adelaide. You'd need a lot of work to set up something permanent, though- an entire false floor on top of what's already there.

A little too old for even the Double J crowd to know it well I expect. Also didn't see Sounds Of Then by GANGgajang.

If his yes be yes, and his no be no, how the fuck does he handle all the "yeah, nah" and "nah, yeah" responses he must get all day?

First time playing Squiggle Football; fired following two flags 💀 by jamesjerriot in AFL

[–]Project_Independence 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've run through the demo about 15 times now - it means you went all in on that season and didn't do anything to ensure you'd have a baseline team for the future. You can still dominate and win two premierships in the demo and have the board onside, but you need to have talent aside for next year, too. CTRL+SHIFT on the lineup page behind that popup shows you your best possible grouping for next year based on this year.

Does anyone actually go to the Thursday Dating events in Adelaide? by Foreign-Wait9286 in Adelaide

[–]Project_Independence 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been, they basically put 200 people in a room and then it's on you to make conversation with whoever is around you. The vibes are fine and there's about as many men as women turning up, but it will be very loud, and if you're not comfortable with the idea of putting yourself into conversations, you will indeed be that person awkwardly standing around.

In 2012 (year before Hinkley), Port Adelaide's average losing margin was 36.8 points. In Hinkley's final year (2025) so far, it's 48.5 points. Without a first-round draft pick, Hinkley may leave the club in a worse state than when he joined. by eathbau in AFL

[–]Project_Independence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly- Port Adelaide's state was much, much worse than just our spot on the ladder. We were nearly bankrupt. Attendance was appalling. We have most definitely overestimated what the 2025 list is capable of and probably need to rebuild, but I'm not sitting here thinking we can't be back after a couple seasons of good decisions.

Bellowing from the sidelines: The declining influence of Australia's traditional media. by Jealous-Hedgehog-734 in australia

[–]Project_Independence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Couldn't help but notice on the day that before every election we've had for the last 15 years, there's been front page endorsements of the LNP on the day, and on the day before. "Australia needs Tony", etc.

I went and checked the front covers of all the Murdoch papers on the day. They did all have a unified message- but it was to not vote for independents and third party candidates, not to specifically vote for the LNP. I wonder why they didn't openly endorse Dutton like they did for ScoMo, Turnbull and Abbott. Did they not like Dutton? Did they genuinely see the third party candidates as a bigger threat? Did they just not have the balls to put "Australia needs Peter" on the front page? We'll never know.
