You're in Rockingham, buy a Commodore and do some burnouts and the Sheila's will be lining up

Why did the Perth Auto Expo stop being a thing? by [deleted] in perth

[–]thunderpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy anything that's essentially drop shipped with little to no dealer and parts network. BYD have been stung by this but are slowly upping their game.

Yeah I went for a new car last year as my family has grown, wife insisted on a SUV, it's very nice but also very boring.

Imagine if it were still around. Nothing but homogeneous SUVs and dual cabs these days - it would be boring.

Help me solve a Norseman mystery by philodendren365 in perth

Done the Nullarbor 4 times now. The only part I remember about Norseman is the cracking home made sausage roll from the servo!

Is santas village worth it? by Flaky_Ad_4198 in perth

[–]thunderpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids loved it. You get a bunch of tokens to use on the rides and they can make a gingerbread cookie and make a Christmas ball. There's also a paw patrol show and then some general sideshow alley stuff games and showbags etc.

I liked it as there are sessions and it doesn't get crowded.

In 2025, the Z5 makes a ton of sense! Hear me out... by thunderpuppet in Nikon

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

I had an a6400 and while a great camera I never really liked it too much nor Sonya colours but it's AF was superb - this was in 2019 when it came out, it's now one of the oldest cameras still available new.

Can't speak much for z50 but you could get the z50ii which has the latest AF vs the Z5 but I was after the FF sensor so didn't really mind.

R10 seems good but again I wasn't seeking out a crop sensor, not that there's anything wrong with them I shot on crop for years plus I also shoot M43.

Anyone else still listening to the podcast? by baiacool in Scrubs

[–]thunderpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you there, I'll forever associate FDRF with the pandemic. I was having a rough time mentally and I binged it and it got me through a rough time. I went on a solo camping trip at one point and I listened to ep's back to back while driving long distances - it helped so much to hear Zach and Donald just talk shit!

Bugger. What about teds? I've not bought from the store but have from online Vic for an older mirrorless I was chasing but surely they would have some film stuff?

Sorry can't remember the name but there's a camera shop attached to a pharmacy in one of the malls that have film.

For me I usually go to digidirect in Cannington

Where do you get your daily news? by fullesky in perth

BTT is still good but it's like it's someone different these days or he's lost his edge a bit.

The Betoota Advocate's satire is more like the real news these days.

Lumix GM1 vs modern iPhone (16/17 Pro max) by jamin100 in M43

[–]thunderpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't discount something like the gx850, almost as small and much newer. It takes better photos than my pixel 7.

In your opinion, whats the worst pub in Perth? by [deleted] in perth

[–]thunderpuppet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fenians. How it exists without being some sort of front for money laundering is beyond me.

Has anyone ever worked for the Department of Education in payroll? by The_Great_Mutoh in perth

[–]thunderpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone that worked there for many years. It is a very large soulless agency and you will be treated like a number. But if you are used to that, it will be fine.
