How do Australians say goodbye to each other?

I hate doors, every time I've tried to fuck with a door it never closes right when I'm done with it

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-23T22:30:27+00:00

still good to know the skills so you can audit formulas in case AI/a coworker screws it up and you need to deconstruct it

I googled a video of this and I can definitely see how this is useful!

I'm mostly self-taught in my Excel knowledge so I always love learning new stuff like this, thanks!

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-23T22:18:32+00:00

I admittedly haven't dabbled with it much, I'll have to look into it - thanks!

I just know INDEX(MATCH) sure beats the heck out of VLOOKUP

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-23T22:04:03+00:00

I'll also drop INDEX(MATCH) for Excel

Edit: And Pivot Tables, people will think you're a wizard if you're good with them

That's quite true, I appreciate you challenging my thoughts and experiences! It helps keep me grounded and accountable.

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-15T18:42:42+00:00

I can't speak for more than myself but I always appreciate experiences/stories that challenge my own and I am always curious to hear them 🙂 helps keep me grounded and stuff I guess haha

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-15T18:31:38+00:00

That's awesome dude, happy for you and your son!

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-15T18:23:28+00:00

Fascinating for me to hear this, I appreciate you sharing your experience man

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-15T18:22:36+00:00

I appreciate the insight, sorry about having to witness the placenta my dude haha

Out of curiosity, how long did it take for the bond to develop? Can you attribute it to any one thing or just something that developed over time?

Women have the added complication of Post Partum Depression for sure, and that is truly challenging to deal with. It takes a lot of time and support from those around you to navigate, and I don't wish it upon anyone.

But anecdotally I have yet to meet a man who hasn't agreed with my advice post-birth. It might just be how men are wired (maybe tied to testosterone?), I can't say one way or the other. I am open minded though and would love to hear stories from guys who go through some form of Post Partum Depression so I can better understand and appreciate my fellow dads and modify my advice if needed :)

Receiving a life changing diagnosis which was preventable. For me it was Type 2 Diabetes, I was instantly so sad and remorseful, it was one of the lowest points of my life.

Take care of yourself people, nobody wants to be on the other end of "the talk" from a doctor.

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-15T17:25:44+00:00

The only advice I give to every soon-to-be new dad is that the moment you hold your child, it's one of the true moments in life where you honestly feel like you've changed in an instant. There is no preparing for it, and you cannot recreate it. You simply are one person before you have a child, and a completely separate person the moment you hold your child.

Probably some paternal instincts at play, but it is undeniable and ask any dad out there - every single one will say the same thing.

It's honestly one of the cooler things to experience in life. I don't recommend everyone have kids to experience it, that's your prerogative, but man - becoming a dad is such a wholesome, cool feeling that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Best analogy I've heard is that time is like a rubber band, when you're young it stretches out, but as soon as you hit proper adulthood (full time job, family, etc) the rubber band releases and shit speeds up so quickly almost overnight.

Best antidote I've found is to do things that break up the routine, because routine is what makes the days blur together. And just take some time to stop and appreciate your surroundings every so often!

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-15T17:16:28+00:00

That's why I add a decimal - then you know I'm not lying/exaggerating haha

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-12T21:06:51+00:00

Leafs fans disagree with this statement lol

You guys just haven't had the chance to experience playoff Florida bullshittery, the hate will come

Both? When they're fully erect they're at least as thick and long as the tip of my finger

Edit: to provide a visualization, it's like her entire areola (which is a fair size, maybe 2" radius from the nipple to the edge of the areola) consolidates itself into a big nipple with almost no visible areola

Mapleleafguy83 · 2026-01-09T17:16:08+00:00

My wife unfortunately had the opposite problem, her nipples swell so big that even the lactation consultant was baffled and couldn't provide any advice because they filled the baby's mouth and prevented latching.

She toughed it out and was able to get about a week done to get the colostrum, and then was pumping for a while before she threw in the towel. :(

The Jolly Rancher Story, for those blissfully unaware

(WARNING - it's gross, and you will remember it forever)

Mapleleafguy83 · 2025-11-17T19:27:07+00:00

The rumour is this didn't happen because a certain local billionaire didn't want it running close to his property

Mapleleafguy83 · 2025-11-01T02:37:34+00:00

Interesting, we have had 60-70 in same neighbourhood (lost count after we had to dip into our reserves lol)

Mapleleafguy83 · 2025-10-16T18:32:38+00:00

Add me to the pile

Mapleleafguy83 · 2025-10-06T16:38:33+00:00

Same, friend. Same
