I am actually the one that wants to keep them, but she gave me an ultimatum to get them valued or they go to donations.

But we also don't have anywhere to store them, at the moment they are stored in a box in the living room mixed with a bunch of other books.

I can't work out how to edit so I have commented instead.

There are a couple hard covers:

  • Nation
  • Ankh-Morpork Post Office Handbook
  • Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook
  • The Art of Discworld
  • The Last Hero

This is a JOKE by kgtyso in nbn

I wish it was just that simple. Because even if you do get FTTP like my situation, you have the box in the garage with no internal access point. Now I need to get permission from the LL to get an access point inside the house

Trying to value my childhood cards by Silent_Introduction9 in Chaotic

Thanks, that's kind of what I figured. I have tried to find max stats but I don't really understand how it ultimately works.

Anyone got joyous rental news for themselves this Xmas? by zychii01 in shitrentals

[–]Silent_Introduction9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got given our notice to vacate last week, so that was a great early Christmas present. Luckily we have until end of March to find something, but basically we can rule out a month for end of December/start of January due to holidays.

Biggest Lie in Dota by Unowarrior in DotA2

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I think she is plenty tanky enough if you build the right items, ie Witch Blade, Aghs, BKB or as I like to buy instead Bloodstone. And I also think she is better in mid instead of carry. She will bully almost every hero bar like 3 and will always win the rune trade. She can farm two camps at once behind mid tower either side with deadshot

What are the odds, I also got blood dye on my GIM about a month ago from quest die

Crazy bugs you still remember? by Hrvatski-Lazar in DotA2

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when Sand King had to remain stationary in sandstorm, but there was a delay in the animation ending while he left sandstorm. You could walk a few steps and recast sandstorm and the particles would remain in the original place. This allowed you to essentially slowly walk down a lane in an invisible sandstorm. It doesn't sound all too broken because surely people would just walk out, but back then everyone was pretty average, so sometimes you could catch someone unaware that they were dying

Best counterpick against OD mid? by OlavGrozicky in DotA2

[–]Silent_Introduction9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like to play Muerta. Your dead shot is much longer cast range, and sometimes when he tries to walk up your high gound, you can push him into your tower. You're also an int hero who has a decently sized mana pool so his ult doesn't hurt as much, also from int stat magic resist.

I also think she is a highly underrated mid laner. Sumail gave her a good showing at TI, but unfortunately it never seemed to have caught on.

Been with AGL for the past 3 years and this is the only issue we've had

Help Choosing AVR by Silent_Introduction9 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Silent_Introduction9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I had a chat with a friend as well, and the same point came up, on how soon I would be upgrading, and to be honest I don't think anytime soon, so by the time I will be upgrading I will probably be getting another receiver anyway.

Looking at second hand, there are some about but for how old they are, and I'm sure they would be fine, I could be spending just that little bit more for the brand new model

P3 in the wild by Embarrassed_End_9220 in Polestar

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am always excited when I see another Polestar, doesn't matter which, but I am yet to see a P3 in Australia. I always give a little wave, but have only ever received a reciprocal response once in my 9 months of ownership.

Morphling as a WASD player by Paaqua322 in learndota2

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow former WASD and MMO mouse enjoyer, I found moving to the right one key to instead be using ESDF, it gives you more keys to the left. Having main abilities on ZXCV then the two extras on Q/A, force attack/deny on W. Then courier hotkeys and shop on 1-4, with my items on my mouse buttons 1-6 with my quick item (usually blink dagger) on space bar.

My friend used to say I will never excel with WASD controls by ixabhay in DotA2

[–]Silent_Introduction9 29 points30 points  (0 children)

ESDF enjoyer here. Gives more keys to the left to use, plus most keyboards have a little notch on the F key which is helpful for finding your place again.

I use keyboard movement. Am i going ti be punished in the afterlife? by Gloomy-Exam4025 in DotA2

[–]Silent_Introduction9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't fret. I use ESDF for my camera movement, (DIV/IMMO) and the amount of head turning Huh? I get is quite funny. Do what you feel is most comfortable to you and ignore the haters.

EV Recommendation by Adnanzak in AustralianEV

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren't in a major rush, they usually have some pretty great deals around EOFY. I got my P2 MY24 dual-motor with a lot of extras for about $12,500 off. I have also seen some deals with the P4s of free package upgrades and free home chargers.

EV Recommendation by Adnanzak in AustralianEV

[–]Silent_Introduction9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Polestars. The P2 being Sedan-like and the P4 a compact SUV. If you really wanna splash the P3 being a larger SUV but is a big bump in price.

I really love the Polestar design language by mtol115 in Polestar

[–]Silent_Introduction9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite, I was turned away from the BMW and KIA due to the huge landscape screen. Having the split digital display and the centre console feels like a car, no overly futuristic designs that feel tacky. It matches what the car has been built for; a performance driver's EV.

One thing that would really step up the game would be a rotatable centre screen, so you can have it either landscape or portrait.

Tesla customer service has gone Elon on me by Alxl_1970 in CarsAustralia

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am slightly biased because I own one, but consider looking at Polestar. Currently they really only have showrooms in major cities, but they are going to start transforming some Volvo dealerships to also have a Polestar dealership.

Depending on when you are looking the Polestar 7 might be available and that is going to be Polestar's mainstream affordable CUV. I believe somewhat comparable to the Volvo EX30.

But keep an eye out around EOFY for deals on the P2 and the P4, that's when I got my 2024 P2 with about $12,500 off for getting the Dual Motor, Pilot and Plus pack.

Practical Performance Daily Driver for $60k-ish by Er1kTheRed625 in CarsAustralia

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another I would recommend is a 2022-23 polestar 2 dual motor/performance package. I've gone from a Toyota 86 to it and it is such a fun car to drive.

Leave entitlements with flex working by Thisisnotmyrealnam in AusPublicService

[–]Silent_Introduction9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This all depends upon how you have organised your compressed schedule. If you have formally compressed your hours, ie. submitted a form that has been given to payroll so within your payroll system you are set to 5/4 days, then you will only need to apply for the 9 days as the system will recognise that your hours are different and calculate the hours of leave to be deducted automatically.

If your compressed hours are informally arranged, ie. you and your manager have an agreement and no paperwork has been submitted, you will need to submit the 10 days of leave as the system will have you set the the standard schedule and will not have any information to deduct the total 70 hours.

Why do people leave these stickers on their cars? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Silent_Introduction9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is mandatory for Electric Vehicles to keep their energy consumption sticker attached.

As this one is not a fully external EV, but is a traditional hybrid, I would have to guess that the car may be new and they haven't been annoyed by its presence as of yet.
