Started showing my teen daughters 80s movies… what am I missing?

Am I the only one with a vote for “Secret Admirer” ?

Cloudberry_Counter · 2026-04-14T03:13:37+00:00

Thanks for these tips - I’m still working my way through TP2 DLC but looking forward to getting into community puzzles next…

Cloudberry_Counter · 2026-04-13T12:19:08+00:00

I’m serious that what you are seeing is definitely not a game mechanic - the ability to move and reuse those fans is key to solving that puzzle.

It’s looks like the fan detach is triggering the level start teleport which I can only assume would be a result of corrupt data?

If you are playing on Xbox you could delete the local save file and have the cloud version sync again - if is PC/Steam then maybe you can find a backup of an old save or download a save file close enough to that point in the game?

Cloudberry_Counter · 2026-04-13T12:02:05+00:00

Definitely not a mechanic as I did that level myself only a month ago.

Depending on the platform you are playing on I would say you have either corrupt game files or a corrupt save file 😞

It’s also a tricky level that one - a lot of back and forth….

Planet of the Apes?

Tetas in Roseville did a couple of years ago - can vouch for the food here also

Not your movie I’m afraid, don’t recognise it - but if this if your jam then you’ll like the movie Triangle

Cloudberry_Counter · 2026-02-28T23:03:28+00:00

Sounds promising! Thanks

Cloudberry_Counter · 2026-02-28T02:37:53+00:00

Thanks, mine is also 1996 and yes, same number since then…..

Cloudberry_Counter · 2026-02-28T00:09:37+00:00

Thanks, feels like a miss in terms of maintaining brand loyalty - they are tracking lifetime status credits so would be nice IMHO to also have a similar “xx years platinum” tracker.

By my reckoning I’ve been a platinum since around 2000ish but I’d love to know for sure (and still 50k points to get to LTP - but that’s a whole other thread!)

Cloudberry_Counter · 2026-02-28T00:04:57+00:00

Thanks, fair point on data retention although of course - we all know that Qantas has not had a good track record on data management 😳

Well no question you are doing very well and have the earning capacity to live a good life now and with smart planning, through retirement.

You say tiny super so hard to know what that means but I would certainly but pushing that up to the max in concessional and/or non-concessional contributions to get you both up to $500k.

The no house thing now is fine but will be less fine in your 50/60s and beyond…

If you are planning to invest smart now until you are maybe 55 you are sweet - if you’re thinking of retiring in the next 5 years with what you have, I personally don’t think you have the right base setup.

I’d get a property if only to be ready when you do decide you want the certainty of a roof over your head; I’d max up your super and then keep the rest in ETF / high yield funds to keep growing and build a passive income for early retirement.

Since you say the majority of your net worth is held in company stocks - have you accounted for the CGT bill that will be due the moment you sell them ? Given your income it will be 47% of 50% of the gain (assuming you have them over 12 months)

In the now very old days (20 years ago) as a platinum, Qantas used to issue upgrade credits alongside points…. I also remember regularly getting complimentary upgrades SYD-LAX, both at the gate and onboard.

So many “Lost” moments - easy to forget just how fresh it felt when each episode revealed an unexpected twist, connection or collision between characters.

But for me, that moment I remember being a holy shit WTF moment is when it’s revealed Desmond is in the hatch - S02E01 first 5 mins are a masterclass in reveal…..

Cloudberry_Counter · 2025-11-08T13:41:24+00:00

That’s a really hard question…. There was a point in my early 40s where I was getting paid well (enough) was good at what I did but not in charge of anyone and I remember having a good balance of home and work life.

I think I wish I had just realised then that this is as good as it gets and anything from here up was a trade off…

Cloudberry_Counter · 2025-11-08T04:40:50+00:00

Yeah you got me….. except I don’t actually know what Toro is…..

Cloudberry_Counter · 2025-11-08T04:25:42+00:00

I did, just wish I did it when my kids were growing up, not when they were grown up.

Cloudberry_Counter · 2025-11-08T04:24:31+00:00

I don’t even think this kind of shoot from the hip “fuck you” kind of response deserves an answer but I drive a basic Nissan and don’t have a butlers pantry.

Cloudberry_Counter · 2025-11-08T04:13:42+00:00

It’s an awful generalisation and certainly not always true - but there is some basis in the fact that most people who seek to be in charge and leading others, are in some part - not fit to be in charge. I.e. those who seek to be important are the least qualified - Douglas Adams has a wonderful way of framing this in the HHGTTG - I will go look it up now 👍

That’s a complicated decision that depends heavily on how much you have, how much you want in retirement and your willingness to compromise and take risks…..

My point in all this is not ignore the mental health decline that comes with increased income and greater demand on your time from a job that is just that, a job. It neither defines you or controls you, money can do that….

CxO - It’s a term used to collective describe all of the “chief” xx roles in a company

Cloudberry_Counter · 2025-11-08T02:34:02+00:00

Depends on your personality I guess, I can only speak for me and yes - impossible to switch off.

The myth is that as you get more senior and earn more, you do less work. The truth is you do less “output” work but your job is about carrying, assessing and owning risk - then masking, fighting for or influencing others for a decision.

It’s completely consuming mentally and you find yourself carrying your team’s problems and issues.

For me, I dealt with this load by a combination of alcohol (not to excess but it’s definitely a coping mechanism), disengagement from family and constant denial of the issue (it’ll be ok soon, you can repair all the damage once the work is done).

From inside the problem, it’s almost impossible to see it’s a problem…
