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.
I'm in need of a good winter jacket puffer thing for office. Is it worth dropping ~450 on standard Melbourne uniform i.e. North Face Nuptse? ๐
With that kind of money I'd look at Patagonia as well. There's a cheap Aldi and Macpac ones listed on ozbargain right now. My complaint about mine (macpac) is that it's kind of short, I'd prefer a warm jacket that at least covers my bum / overlaps with my pants.
I've seen a few of these things around, they're a bit overkill for our mild winter in Perth. I had no idea they were so expensive, though! My youngest wants one - because fashion. I was looking at the Anaconda range, They were in the $60-$100 ballpark (for kids jackets - not sure if adults are the same).
I haven't tried them, but Huffer are having a 50% off sale on their puffer jackets right now and I'm eyeing it off. I've heard a few people rave. They're around $500 full price, so a sale is worthwhile.
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)
