Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
My Excel spreadsheet is refusing to play nice with my OFFSET functions. I do not know why, the exact same formula is working with other cells, it just won't let me create them with a different original cell reference.
Edit: have worked out a workaround to do what I want. I think this might be a better way of doing things anyway so maybe Excel did me a favour.
Would a 1000A jump starter be enough to start most cars?
The question is less about jumping my own car (it's a 2L ICE), but more about, if a friend comes up to me or I see a random struggling with a dead battery, what are the chances 1000A is enough?
(don't want to spend too much money lol)
I don't own a jump starter, how often are you jumping your car?
Diesel needs more jump than petrol.
Gooloo brand was recommended by Project Farm on youtube.
The car manual should indicate power required to start the batter, possibly listed as battery size or cold cranking amps (CCA).
Long time no see Dumblederp.
how often are you jumping your car?
Never had to, thankfully.
But have jumped my wife's friend once, and came across two scenarios requiring a jump this past month. I just helplessly watched a guy wait an hour for RACV to turn up lol.

Will go check it out, thanks:)
Hey dude, I've long given up on Overwatch.
If you do get a jump pack, some have usb ports and will work as a big usb battery which is a nice extra feature.
I just legitimately heard a loud bang. One. Quite the boom, bass-y, set a bunch of birds off. I hope it was the local dipshits house.
I have a tip on fire near me.
Oh hey, it's on vic emergency, in Springvale. I hear multiple sirens. 3 units attending.
