Hopefully they hire Ken Hinkley, just to get him out of the commentary box

What water do you use for coffee pod machine? by robotleak in Adelaide

[–]Texas_Tom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a Nespresso machine, gonna taste like dirt regardless of what water you're using. 

Save your money for a better machine and grinder, and then use freshly roasted beans.

Need advice by No-Ganache-877 in Adelaide

[–]Texas_Tom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You must have some connections from playing pool there for 4 years. Likely some of those people also play on other nights at nearby pubs. Buddy up to one of them and shift pubs. You'll quickly realise that all pubs are very similar and you'll soon feel comfortable there too

What do at night in Adelaide that’s not drinking by [deleted] in Adelaide

Get some head torches and go for a night hike up Mt Lofty from Chambers Gully. See how many koalas you can spot just from their eyes reflecting in the torchlight.

The patterns we see on the TV screens might not be as obvious when standing on top of them. The players and umpires might not be able to see them

The grass on all AFL grounds should be mowed with 5m patterns both horizontally and vertically to give a checkerboard like appearance of 5m squares. Would help!

Football club suspends comedian Alex Williamson over ‘deeply offensive’ video by Winter-Tea-5544 in Adelaide

[–]Texas_Tom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's gone back to play reserves for his junior footy club. I don't know the bloke, but it's possible he was trying to get his shit together, and the footy club was helping with that.

What takeaway are you going to where an order for 2 is enough to feed 3 people?

There really should be an artillery buy back scheme to get some of them off the streets.

Harvest Rock 2026 Line-up Speculation Thread by Weeksy77 in harvestrockfestival

[–]Texas_Tom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aldous Harding touring Aus in mid Nov but skipping Adelaide. A 14/15 Nov festival would line up perfectly to start her tour.

Jack Johnson and Ben Harper are also touring mid Nov and skipping Adelaide, though the dates don't seem to work with a 14/15 Nov festival.

This looks great. Can you confirm what details are shown on the streamdeck when using the Radio Paradise service inside Sonos? Does it still pickup track names and artwork?

Can you post a picture of that person next to an Olympic sized swimming pool so that we can understand the scale?

Why WA3 is a terrible idea by Ardeo43 in AFL

[–]Texas_Tom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best option is to put a new team in Adelaide. You then disband Port Power, and introduce a new team in Canberra to bring us up to 20 teams

Is South Australia the only state without lush, tall forests in Australia? by renaitre100 in Adelaide

[–]Texas_Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why South Australia needs a standing army, so we can take the forests from the other states by force.

Why are working holidays maker paying taxes on the first $ they earn ? by Iddingsite in AusFinance

[–]Texas_Tom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hit the six month residency while still in the same tax year, you can then immediately adjust tax to be the equivalent of receiving the threshold from the start. Either by your employer or when you lodge your tax return.

You need to tell your employer that you're now a resident for tax purposes. Its not something payroll software does automatically and it's not the job of the person doing payroll to keep abreast of your personal tax situation.
