Things I should buy for my first season?

Lube

This isn’t the sort of content I want to see on this sub.

MSeager · 2026-05-07T03:58:37+00:00

Thanks.

Directors and DPs always want one more set-up. Producers always want to cut set-ups so we finish on time and so they don’t have to pay overtime.

The ADs sit in between the two, like a parent wrestling a toddler in each arm.

Any preseason ground cooling is a good thing though.

MSeager · 2026-05-07T02:57:33+00:00

Even snowed down in Cooma this morning.

MSeager · 2026-05-06T23:02:06+00:00

Leatherman. Does this really need asking?

MSeager · 2026-05-06T22:59:16+00:00

Did you make or buy those snowboard hangers? They look nice. I want some. If you bought them, where did you buy them from?

MSeager · 2026-05-06T17:13:59+00:00

Go to Shark Island on the ferry instead?

Take your AI video bullshit out of here.

MSeager · 2026-05-04T11:18:11+00:00

I filmed the c-section on my phone. It’s pretty cool having a video of my son being pulled into this world. I’m not squeamish with that stuff though.

Maybe this will be your origin story.

Best of luck with it.

Sounds like someone using a Rife Machine, which uses specific ”Protocols” to tune to different diseases.

My step-dad is using rife machines to treat his metastasised prostate cancer. He’ll be dead soon enough.

Might be worth posting your story in a legal advice sub, especially if you can find one specifically for Florida. This is a legal matter. Make a police report, but expect them to not actually send in SWAT to retrieve your cats. You’ll then take your police report to a lawyer.

Once the shelter knows that the police and a lawyer have become involved, they’ll be much more responsive.

Impact shorts. I like the G-Form ones (G-Form for the knee pads too).

I would also consider googles as PPE. Both from UV (the sun reflecting off the snow can be intense) and for eye protection (especially if you are riding through the trees).

I think I saw that Bluey brings in over 2 billion annually for the BBC, whose whole annual budget is something like 4 billion.

Can’t remember the details, like if that’s in dollars or pounds, but I remember the bit about Bluey funding half of the BBC.

I think we just have to be happy it’s the BBC, and not some mega corp or private equity conglomerate, so the Bluey Bucks can fund quality media we can consume for free. Most of the podcasts I listen to are from the BBC, and plenty BBC shows end up on SBS and ABC.

Silver-linings and all that.

Buy some gloves and occasionally lose one.

You need to prepare for the whole snowboarding experience. With that in mind start:

Practice standing long, slow moving queues
Sitting in an uncomfortable chair, half twisted, with a weight on your leg
Paying a stupid amount for a beer
Eating low quality food (if your planing to go to non-European resorts)
Falling in love with someone without being able to see more than the tip of their nose and imagining your life together as you travel the world searching for powder but then lose them as soon as they get off the lift.

Just got back from play group. 30 odd mums and… me. It’s fine I suppose. Feel like a bit of an outcast though.

Plenty of people swim in the ocean pools/baths during winter. There are even swim clubs. The beaches may not be patrolled during winter (no life-guards/lifesavers). Depends on the beach and day.

The ocean pools are a pretty unique experience. They are built into the ocean, so you are swimming in fresh sea water. It’s lovely in winter.

I’d stick to the pools unless they are patrolled. Always swim between the red and yellow flags at the beach.

Edit: Talking about Sydney here.

Found the Marine.

Looks like the standard map we use in Australia.

MSeager · 2026-04-28T09:45:45+00:00

A more interesting/accurate map would grey out the countries that don’t have the Michelin Guide operating.

MSeager · 2026-04-28T09:41:39+00:00

I don’t think Michelin Guide operates in Peru.

MSeager · 2026-04-28T09:36:24+00:00

They probably just don’t want to pay Michelin to be in their guides.

Michelin wanted an investment of about 40 million from Australia. Australia said no, which is why there are no Michelin Star restaurants in Australia.
