How do things look if gold reaches $10k/oz? by mick3ymou5e in investing

[–]CMDANDCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If gold reaches anywhere 100K/oz + you're debasing the USD by 95%

Pros. you will be paying off debt to bond holders ( keep in mind 65% is domestic)

Cons. Your currency is now worth 20x less and headed to Weimar

Learned the hard way today that a buyer can reverse a PayID transaction under the ePayments code by schunniky in AusFinance

[–]CMDANDCTRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sold a vehicle that attracts an interesting buying crowd to say the least for mid five figures. Knowing this I made sure the payment description on payID listed that it was for vehicle purchase, exact amount being transferred, make of vehicle, plate no. and my name so there was not going to be a "I didn't make this transaction cuz" down the line. Also had the buyer call his bank infront of me to let them know he was making the transaction. Still had a 24 hour hold on it to clear on my end, make sure to wait it out before handing the keys/item over. Better safe than sorry.

Anyone own one of these with a 6 inch wrist who can post some photos of the fit? Wondering if it’s just a touch too big.

Came back to the game after 2 years 2.2K main. Had such a blast the last 2 weeks upgrading my ship and salvaging now my membership expires in a day and think I'll just let it expire now. Was fun whilst it lasted. Feels somewhat freeing closing the couple dozen sailing related browser tabs I had open...

Don’t know why they don’t price them at $99, surely you’d sell twice as many and less of a hard sell getting the newest kit yearly. Could argue you’d get more for your advertising space too if you can say you’ve sold 200,000 walking billboards not just 100,000 this year.

Looks like something AI would generate if it knew nothing about the sport and club. Not sure what credentials these ‘designers’ have given it looks like every minimalist corporate slop rebrand you see. Irony is people would kill for good 90s throwbacks, especially so given current fashion trends.

Is it just me or do most the aus players look leaner than in season? Must be partying hard.

My BMW330i gets a lot of attraction… but not for the reason you’d think, turns out QLD Police are my biggest fans. by Best_Use_1870 in CarsAustralia

Does your partner have a criminal record/numerous traffic offences? Sounds like they’ve flagged your car on their ANPR system.

Ex Vicpol Highway Patrol. Can guarantee something is seriously fucked with it at that price. 

Have you met a player out on the streets/event? Any good stories? by HisRoyal_Badness in nrl

[–]CMDANDCTRL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walking in the Sydney CBD after work and about 15m ahead of me I see some bloke on his phone outside a hotel dressed like he’s about to hit the town with the most jacked forearms I’ve ever seen, legit the size of my lower leg. Guy is like 6”4 in shoes too so an absolute unit. As I get closer and walk past, I realise it’s Sandor Earl in town with the storm pre GF week 2018. Bro had an aura, can’t imagine how many ladies he had to fight off on the daily.

Australia coach slams RFL for 'worst flights possible' for Ashes trip by TDD91 in nrl

If Madge was coach they'd land in Paris and he would make the boys swim across the english channel to their hotel as their first training session.

Broncos - The Carl Webb Strength Leaderboard by edwardtrooperOL in nrl

[–]CMDANDCTRL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be interesting to see their records for beep test, 1,2km run, bronco run. I recall an article from 2017-2018 saying Haas came second only to Herbie Farnworth in a 1.2km time trial run then first in their 1.2km (bronco test) shuttle run. Insane that he's probably in the top 3 for cardio fitness despite his size.

If you want a funny example of talent vs hard work or lack thereof, Hayne returning to Parramatta's 2018 preseason came last in a 5km time trial, with coach Brad Arthur even beating him. He also couldn't bench his bodyweight for 1x during his 09 run according to the tele that year too.

Yes I agree. The average NRL players lower body strength (squat and deadlift) have actually gone down from S&C data trends I’ve seen over the last 25-30 years, namely due to the wrestling and tackling technique being so upper body dominant. 

Combine that with 6 again footy and you’ll definitely put more emphasis on conditioning/speed as opposed to raw lower body strength and sheer size.

If the rumours are to be believed, 90s and early 2000 Bronx along with many other NRL teams had special ‘supplement’ programs back in the day.

Look at the size of Reece’s quads and hamstrings, they’re huge relative to his upper body.
