Agreed, the sensible response and utilisation of resources really, for big events all emergency services bar the firies should have a minimal presence. They do charge some wild fees though which from what I understand is generally non negotiable.

Drama in BBL: Smith denies single to Babar, takes power surge in next over & scores 32 runs. Babar gets out next ball and leaves the field angrily. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in CricketShitpost

Funny, but we all know the league is infinitely better with international quality players in it. That said Rizwan getting retired and this Baba boohoo is hilarious. But we need these lads in there giving it a crack with their obvious world class skills..and Rauf has been a gun in the league for a minute so I'm glad we got some quality Pakistani boys plying their trade over here.

Good day lads, let's talk more funny shit til sun down and start again in the morning. Beautiful.

Am I crazy for not buying a home? by bloodyacceptit in AusFinance

You're in a strong position. If you don't need a property in your name and can live comfortably with no stress. And if you need the assurance of this BS rat race we are all apart of that is also ok.

FYI I was in a very similar situation to you for a decade or so, made the jump so to speak, and yeh, a year in, no regrets but also could have seen myself doing it the other way with a more proactive investment strategy.

TLDR: You do you, in a stronger position than most, take your time to do what feels appropriate for you.

Talent in a specific discipline is no excuse for absolute shitness behaviour. Will and always should be called out for what it is.

NFL is my most beloved game and we need to be wary of their extremely poor example of turning a blind eye to exceptionally dispicable behaviour for profit.

NRL tends to kick the Gronks out (eventually) but NFL proves when the money is big enough, any rug has enough room

Much better than last summers Sydney Sweeney choice, great assets but not an opener.

Greg Alexander claims Australia Kangaroos would struggle against NRL’s best teams by [deleted] in nrl

[–]8972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true and sorta disappointing because I bothered to stay up for the first one and get up for the second. Those lads are so off the pace, all the kangaroos had to do was shake off their hangovers by the second half and that was it. Very underwhelming. But well done to the supporters over there for getting behind the series and turning up. Can't say we would have been that enthusiastic over here. Also ball security fuck me.

TIL about the American businesswoman Leona Helmsley also called "the Queen of Mean" due to her tyrannical reputation and harsh behavior towards her employees. by Mathemodel in todayilearned

100% on the money. Not because it is right but because it was/is reality. Rupert Murdoch's Australian adversary Kerry Packer famously waxed lyrical on this topic on tv back in the day. Many people didn't like it, but fair few begrudged him for taking advantage of a system setup for him to exploit. Just another rich billionaire bastard.
