What the title says. I know a few sushi places that do discount before closing their shops. But I would love to try different variety of foods

Last night around 9 ish I saw a slight red tinge towards the south which wasn’t visible in other directions. I live in the suburbs a few k’s from the city and I was wondering if this was the Aurora or not?

Any hopes to catch the lights today still? I looked at a couple of websites and it seems unlikely but I’m not confident of my abilities to interpret the graphs.

If yes, when/where?

Cheers!

I got home last night to find the pictured corflute attached to the street sign outside of my house. Went to MIL'S today for mothers day (120km away), and spotted one with the same design (different mobile #) near her place.

Driving back saw a couple more at various points along the way.

Is the roofing scam hotting up in Adelaide right now?

Hello,

Looking to finally take the leap with my girlfriend and pop the question, now I've never brought jewelry in my life and the only store I know of is Shiels so looking for suggestions on other places.

Looking to buy a lab grown diamond with a budget of 3k max.

What would people recommend?

I would appreciate some recommendations for some really good restaurants that do both excellent meat dishes as well as really good vegan dishes. It is for a 70th birthday, so it is quite special. Most guests are confirmed carnivores, but one very dear granddaughter is vegan, and I want her to feel that it is special for her as well.

We are currently exploring private schools for our daughter in the eastern suburb. I think the first question will be is it worth sending to a private school when you have schools like Norwood International, Stradbroke, Morialta college in the east. What are the main benefits?

Second question is most of the private school are Christian what about kids that belong to different religions like Hindus/Muslims how comfortable the kids are in the school when religion is a part of the curriculum. We are looking at st ignatius college.

Hi,

Which plan would be the best for us, looking for a good prepaid plan only with good coverage and solid and reliable speeds.

Does anybody know where I’d be able to find pre owned watches?

I’ve had a quick look at some horologists, none of them really say if they sell pre owned watches.

If anybody could let me know I’d really appreciate it, thank you.

Recently the app has started to show that I use 1gb one day and 0mb for 3 days straight when I have used data or 0mb one day then 300mb two days straight. It’s very annoying. Anyone have experience with their customer support? I’m gonna ask them abt it or is there probably nothing they can do

As the title says, wanting a badass quality poncho but would rather get one somewhere local.

He's having a rest by the jetty to granite Island! 2.30pm

Hi all! Happy weekend. I was wondering where to watch the aurora australis coming up tonight that’s accessible through public transport. I was thinking of heading down to Seaford but wasn’t sure if it’d be dark enough. Thanks!

Next year mum turns 70 and I turn 50.

What is something family orientated in SA/Adelaide that we can do?

Dad, older brothers and their families will be there too.

All fairly active looking for something to do and a feed.

They only put part of the ramp in when in reality it's supposed to go to the top

This is at Murray Bridge MarketPlace

This sanitiser is being used in public hospitals in South Australia. It has macadamia oil as an ingredient, which could be catastrophic for anyone with a nut allergy!!! Not every nut allergy is exclusively peanut related. I have now seen it in a few hospitals. Raised my concern. Then see it still being used.

Hi, been living here for a year now but still find it difficult to save on eating outside. Most of the time I either go for college which is in city, just behind central market or part-time Mcdonals. I get employee discount at work but whenever I am in college I go to Gyg or any nearby restaurant/ fastfood to eat something. The food are quite expensive. If I keep eating outside like this I am gonna be brokie. I am not good at cooking and hardly get time for that. Ya I am bad at time management as well. What are your suggestions do you think you can give me? Any cheap place where I can get good food? Any tips on managing money on eating outside or maybe cooking Time management tip. any genuine suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

Hi Folks, well that was quite the show last night. Just a quick update as I have to go out for Ma's day lunch.

There are still two large CME's that have yet to hit from Friday afternoon's X3.9 flare and yesterday's X5.9.

Solar wind speeds are very high and the X5.9 is coming in like a freight train and likely to may catch up and combine with the X3.9. These two flares are not quite the direct hit we saw last night.

Given all that there is a chance that we will start getting activity after around 10 9pm tonight, cloud permitting ofc. But that is a bit of a guess timing wise.

At this stage it is very hard to say whether it will be as strong as last night and things have subsided, but our Earth's magnetic field is still holding a lot of charge from recent events and it may not take much to kick things off again.

A note on the following link:

You want the blackline increasing (Bt) and the red line decreasing (Bz) for an aurora to show.

The purple line (Solar wind speed) should tick up prior to a storm arriving and is good indicator that things are about to kick off.

Edit1: For those asking for locations I think you can gauge a pretty good idea from the shots people took last night. I was surprised at the shots that came in from the metro beaches. For optimum you want a clear view of the Southern horizon with as little light pollution as possible. Sorry folks but I am not going to answer where is the best place questions and will let other users pipe in on that one.

I only ended up at Aldinga early in the night because it was convenient and in fact then did a jaunt to Parsons but it was clouded over by the time I arrived, Doh! should have done my cloud research a little better out in the field and taken my own advice.

Cloud wise tonight is going to be hit and miss again, here is BOM's live sat viewer but also use the Ventusky link above for forecasts. Ventusky also has a pretty damned good satellite viewer.

As for timing tonight the X5.9 is racing to catch up with the X3.9 but may not make it in time. So the X3.9 will likely arrive after sunset and the X5.9 a few hours after. But again we won't know till we start seeing a rise in the solar wind speed and Bt values (particularly looking for strong -Bz values).

Edit2: Things are looking pretty dull out there, now it is just a waiting game.

This image is updated every minute or so, so refresh to get the current Auroral activity.

Lead time on the image is usually around 1/2 an hour.

Edit3: There is a pair of NASA satellites called STEREO A and B that give us a bit more lead in time, given that they are much closer to our Sun than us down here on Earth. A&B have just started to show positive readings.

Edit4: 7:25pm Solar wind speed has just started to pick up, summat's a coming.

Here is the link to my older post:

I'm unsure on where to post this or where to even start looking for help, but a couple of days ago I was finally able to leave a toxic and abusive relationship. I have been staying at a friend's house for now but don't have anywhere else to go or family to contact due to being a kid of the state growing up. Where do I go for help or food ? How do I find those kind of places that can help please?

Also this is a new account for privacy and my safety

Thank you In Advance

Children under the age of 14 will be banned from holding social media accounts such as Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Instagram and X under Australia-first legislation that could be proposed by Premier Peter Malinauskas. Mr Malinauskas said he was motivated by growing evidence that social media is harming children’s mental health.

“There has been a massive spike in mental health issues globally, and it seems to coincide at the exact same time that we saw the proliferation of social media on handheld devices with front facing cameras and I don’t think that’s a coincidence,’’ he said. Mr Malinauskas, a father-of-four, said he was concerned about the world his children were growing up in. “As a parent, this is something that worries us and our eldest has just turned nine,’’ he said. “The idea that such a young mind could be exposed to excessive adult themes when they’re just understanding their place in the world is concerning.’’

Mr Malinauskas has appointed Robert French, former Chief Justice of the High Court, to examine whether it’s feasible for the state government to ban children under 14 from holding social media accounts and for parental consent to be given for children who are 14 and 15. Mr French will examine legislative, technological and constitutional issues that could arise from such a ban.

Currently, social media platforms including TikTok, X, Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram require users to be at least 13 to start an account, but the limit is not well-policed and it is believed many children younger than the minimum age have signed up. “I don’t think there’s much evidence of robust enforcement or application and age verification on the internet is tricky. But we’re going to have to crack this nut,’’ Mr Malinauskas said.

It is not known how many children under 14 have social media accounts, but a 2021 report by the eSafety commissioner found that 12-13 year olds used an average of 3.1 social media services. It found 42 per cent of 12-13 year olds used Facebook, 39 per cent used Instagram, 26 per cent were on Snapchat and 66 per cent on YouTube. It is believed those numbers would have grown since 2021, in part driven by habits learned during Covid lockdowns.

I moved to Adelaide 20 years ago and the last 12 months have been driest I can remember. I live around Aldinga and normally get higher rainfall than the northern suburbs but dang is my yard an arid dusty dirtpile! Which has lead to more airborne dust causing respiratory problems. Come on just rain won't you!

To all Mothers, Grandmothers, Furmothers, and Mothers to be.

Thank you for the gift of life, the love and sacrifices you make and the unwavering support.
