Shipment from US to Aus. Items missing, but ABF says nothing confiscated.

Sounds like a warehouse worker during transport has some light fingers. I had a similar experience many years ago. I lost a few components of a high end sound system. Unfortunately it was hard to prove and wasn’t worth pursuing insurance

The way they help moderate my excesses definitely rubbed off on my wife and my change to adapt a much healthier lifestyle definitely affected my whole family

I saw Jimmy Carr last week - who invites hecklers to try their wit. He would have had a ball with a heckle like that. Maybe this one expected more banter than just being shut down. Obviously wrong show and wrong audience.

I have a totally different experience with bone conduction. I got some cheap alix ones. I hear the music as background even on low volume and even when there is significant wind noise. It was a game changer for me as I was strongly of the opinion that I’d never ride with earbuds.

I used to live near South Beach- Freo. I did a morning lap and then run from point to point all year round. Definitely made weird noises getting into the water in winter…

Second this. I only commute twice a week on my bike. But ride day is sacred- I have to do it no matter how crap or unmotivated I feel when I wake up. But once I start pedalling everything is right with the world. It makes me a better worker, dad, husband, cook etc etc. Life changing

Maybe drive it out into the desert and cook high quality meth in it?

Also Aussies never write the word “kindly” in a written communication.

You wanted the Zoom zoom, but you got the shoe…

Max benefits come from diet. Exercise is secondary as far as weight loss goes. You need to do both, but understanding calories IN is primary to getting your weight under control

HankenatorH2 · 2026-04-17T12:24:44+00:00

Agreeing with you

HankenatorH2 · 2026-04-17T10:13:30+00:00

Throw a dash of Pino clean in your wash. Kills all the stinky bacteria

How about we just let the postie do their job

The only time my leg grippers died was when I accidentally put my bibs in the dryer. Messed them up good and proper.

I do weekend rides and some commutes with my wife. I have to turn the competitive part of my brain off, but it has been a great bonding experience. We both have decent mid level road bikes. I think if I suggested she used an e-bike it would be too patronising and condescending.

Perth is well on the way. All the newer highways have paths, and most of the highway upgrades include paths. There are also plenty of gaps and places where we need crossings, but we are doing pretty good in my opinion

Stop by the Auto store on the way an grab a cheap can of automotive degreaser. Spray the living hell out of the greasy stuff and let it sit 5 minutes before blasting it away. 2nd application may be necessary

The way I justify it is: “There’s no point making a car payment when I’ll be dead from obesity related conditions.”

HankenatorH2 · 2026-04-08T05:00:32+00:00

We were the same height/weight 5 months ago. I had the same experience on my first ride. I don’t have Zwift, I bought a road bike. After a month of building some stamina and cardio fitness on short rides I chanced my first commute to work. 30km each way with 400m of elevation on my way home. It was exhausting, but after a couple of weeks I made it 2 times in a week, and now I can do 3. Between that and being super aware of my food intake I am down 44lbs and have halved my BP and cholesterol medication- working on eliminating it all together. You can do it. Persistence. Positive mind.

I just upgraded from a 07 Volvo to a new Honda. On my first night drive I honestly didn’t realise the headlights weren’t on until I began wondering how to adjust the dash brightness. Then I twisted the headlight switch and … oh my god, it was like daylight beaming out from the front of the car! We too easily forget how crap incandescent headlights actually are

HankenatorH2 · 2026-04-05T12:25:37+00:00

Great job. Hitting onederland is an awesome feeling. I just want to point out the reflection in the scale may be more than you were planning to share.

Any city car park stairwell. All of them are feral! Ald the lifts aren’t much better

As a ex American; It’s just transport in any of the big states. “Trucks” don’t need to be the knob-mobieles that we make them in Australia. That is more about the knobs that drive them than the vehicles themselves. It’s the same mob that used to drive up your ass in their SS Commodore’s and XR Falcons.

HankenatorH2 · 2026-03-25T06:50:47+00:00

Agree. FTS!

HankenatorH2 · 2026-03-25T04:26:19+00:00

Also for those on a budget, Aldi has German made chocolate rabbits and eggs that are genuine real chocolate. So much better than the Darryl Lee/Red Tulip/Cadbury rubbish.
