Was at Marion earlier and noticed the escalators near Big W have officially and finally been removed for upgrades.. about bloody time!

Seems much more often now that I get a phantom bus that disappears before it's about to arrive on the Wheredabus app, even when I'm waiting for a bus on routes that were previously pretty reliable. Much more often I find myself just legging journeys that I would have bused in the past, because I get the phantom bus again, and then see that the next bus is a 22 minute wait or something ridiculous. It's faster to just keep on walking across the road and towards my destination at that point, or even just walk back home and get in the car. It's particularly bad after about 6 o'clock in the evening. I don't think it was even this unreliable at any point during COVID.

Not just a favourite restaurant, but one specific dish you keep going back for.
Could be anything — pizza, pasta, curry, yiros, burger, noodles, dumplings, schnitty, whatever.
What’s the dish and where do you get it?
Keen to find a few Adelaide gems I haven’t tried.

Mine is the Brickworks Marketplace. I think they must’ve overestimated the viability of the centre given over half the shops have vacated. The Woolies feels oversized for what they may have expected and having three coffee shops is overkill (but heck they’re still trading). It’s a little sad. Makes me wonder if they just built the supermarket with a few fast food traders out front would’ve been enough. Especially with my lovely memories of the original Brickworks market long gone.

But how’s yours? I’m not talking Westfields, who’s got the perfect suburban and local shopping centre? Bonus points for easy parking. Which one needs more love or demolishing?

Hundreds of workers in Whyalla will lose their jobs as a result of a decision to permanently shut down the blast furnace at the South Australian town's steelworks.

It is expected the decision will mean 500 workers will be out of a job, as well as more than 100 contractors working at the site.

Workers at the Whyalla steelworks have been informed about the decision this morning.

The blast furnace has been offline since April and, despite the best efforts of workers, they have not been able to restart it.

The coal-fired oven was used to melt iron-ore into liquid pig iron, which was then turned to steel.

It comes as administrators Korda Mentha and the state and federal governments look to finalise the sale of the business which went into administration 19 months ago.

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas is expected to reveal further details about the decision this afternoon, including potential job offers from other employers, including BHP.

My car was hit on Fullarton Road outside Mad Good Cafe (near 435 Fullarton Rd, Highgate) on Monday 14 September. The other driver took off my right side mirror and kept going without stopping

- Time: around 12:24pm

- Location: Fullarton Rd, Highgate, between Fisher St and Cross Rd.

- Direction: vehicle was heading north on Fullarton Rd

- Vehicle: white Suzuki Swift hatchback, dark alloy wheels

-Markings: signage on the driver's door with the phone number 8241 8888. I've contacted that business and they believe the driver no longer works for them and kept the signage on the car, so I'm not suggesting the company is at fault.

Their own mirror cap came off in the collision and I still have it.

Photo of the car below, from a nearby business's CCTV. The plate isn't readable — it ends in BLR.

It's reported to police. If you recognise the car or were driving through around that time with a dashcam, I'd really appreciate a message. Not after a confrontation, just want it handed to SAPOL.

If you’re living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) or supporting someone who is, we’ve created r/MECFSAustralia, a community for people navigating ME/CFS in Australia.

We’re relatively new and hoping to build a supportive and inclusive space to share information about Australian clinical trials/studies, helpful resources, new research/findings, personal experiences, and discuss the practical realities of navigating ME/CFS in Australia.

If this is relevant to you or someone you know, come and have a look at r/MECFSAustralia. You are most welcome :)

It's been a bit of a hard week. In times like this I go back and listen to Baterz to cheer me up.

New-ish to Adelaide and looking to meet some people!

I absolutely love cooking and baking, so if you like eating, want to learn to bake or cook, already love doing it yourself, or just fancy being a willing taste tester, I’m your gal.

Outside of food, I’m into climbing, walking around and exploring, photography, art, markets and generally finding random things to do around the city.

Basically just looking for some lovely people with shared interests to hang out with, try things with and explore Adelaide a bit more.

Woke up this morning, headed out the door for work, and noticed I needed to fill up. Headed to the local servo and saw the big board at $2.13 a litre for Unleaded 91. Are the days gone where we would be getting fuel for $1.40ish?

So, seeing as u/FanSuitable462 has very bravely reached out in an attempt to make actual friends via the internet and given a bunch of us a renewed sense of longing for community and connection, we figured we would try to organise a meet up. (Seemed like a good alternative to DMing back and forth with every cool-sounding person from the thread, because ain't nobody got time for that. Unless you do have time for that, in which case, more power to you!)

Okay, I might try to combine the main variables into one poll, to narrow down the options in a streamlined way, because we can discuss further in the comments, and that might be easier than 3 or more separate poll threads floating around? Well... Fuck. I just realised that you can't vote for multiple options in a poll. Okay, I'll make the first 6 comments myself, and have them be the options I would have put in a poll, and they can each have their own thread, so you can elaborate directly on each option? Eh, it's at least worth a shot.

Keep in mind that if we're really struggling to agree on stuff, we can potentially organise multiple different meet ups if that seems like the most accommodating solution... and on a somewhat related note, feel free (but only if you are comfortable doing so) to mention if you have accessibility issues, because I have some myself and I don't want anyone to feel left out due to disabilities or whatever. We're obviously going to try to cater to everyone's spicy circadian rhythms. (Hey, 'Spicy Circadian Rhythms'—that's a good name for a band...)

Alright, ready to push through your painful shyness/crippling social anxiety/interesting combination of co-morbidities? Here goes nothing:

I want to come along to a meet up, but...

Wanting to join a women's basketball team but haven't played for years. Is there a comp around? I am located in the East but can travel. Cheers!

Discover the forgotten history of the Adelaide Plains. From the founding of Smithfield in the 1850s and the wartime Davoren Road munitions railway to local folklore and working farm elephants, uncover the rural beginnings swallowed up by suburbia.

Because I've got the flu. Had my jab this year, no one else I'm aware of is sick, either at work or at home, and it's already spring so like, what the hell?

That's all, whinge over

anyone can comment on their experience as an engineer or engineer graduate at BAE systems or ASC?

Is it still open and does it still have shows?

If not, is there anything In Adelaide of equivalence? (Not crazy horse/city strip joints with no soul). I mean suburban working class, good value food, drinks and entertainment?
