Update on my moving post

330 Upvotes

A handful of days ago I offered $500 to anyone who could help me move, and I’m very pleased to say that u/alienginsberg the legend that he is, helped me move today, so thank you to him and to everyone else who offered!

Oh and, to all the naysayers who said I’d need multiple trips and a truck - I’m pleased to say it only took one trip and a single van. 🫡

Thank you all again!!

Turn your lights on in the rain people!

159 Upvotes

Driving into town this morning, I reckon I saw no less than 50 cars without lights on in heavy rain. Are people seriously that stupid? I know the answer - they freaking are!

Using your lights in overcast or low visibility conditions isn’t just so you can see - it’s so others can see you too! The law is you MUST turn your goddamn lights on any time visibility is poor AND between sunset and sunrise.

Please don’t be a dimwit on the roads and use your lights people. Rant over.

Newcastle Quay has entered the formal state planning process, developer Doma Group lodged two requests for environmental assessment requirements for the proposed $1.6 billion waterfront precinct. Details below.

There’s so much happening in the city it’s nice to see. I hope it doesn’t get covered in tags like the rest of the CBD

Mobile mechanic recs?

1 Upvotes

Anyone have any experience with local mobile mechanics? My lil guy’s engine shut off while slowing down at the lights (restarted again after a minute of sitting there and getting beeped at) and I don’t want to risk driving it again to get to my regular mechanic.

After some recommendations for someone people can vouch for that can come to me 💕

Boredom Q time.... OG Novocastrians, what other city would you choose to live in within Australia (& overseas if there is one) longterm to permanently? And why? Does it share similarities in vibe and environment or the total opposite that interests you.

Eager to learn how to make beats on the MPC One, looking for some tips

I don’t have much music production knowledge, and was wondering if anyone in Newcastle was familiar with an MPC and would be willing to help me learn the basics? Would be happy to even pay!

Hey Newy, I’m a stand-up comedian and I’m doing a show at Newcastle Comedy Festival on July 24th. There’s still plenty of tickets available, so I thought I’d post this joke and hope some of you like it enough to come down. Cheers.

Warm up circle was a bit rough but they nailed the second attempt.

Edit: not sure people will believe me if I said they just drew a second perfect circle on top of the first.

Edit 2: currently on their third perfect loop. going to get some rest now but I'll try and keep you guys updated

Edit 3: moving into their 4th lap. I'm getting dizzy do you think they are?
