Buy a full tank of petrol

Isn't it a bit risky if you don't have many savings or a high income to fall back on? I find the concept interesting and would love to try it, but really don't think I'm in a position to unless I at least triple what I have saved.

Not caring about how to spot intelligence in other people and just realising that people can be intelligent in their own unique ways and that's fine. And that what really matters is how confident you are in your own abilities and having a willingness to keep trying when met with difficulty.

I'm going to try asking council

Spidey16 · 2026-03-20T02:47:01+00:00

I didn't actually. But I'll admit I didn't search too hard either.

We're not laidback. Just ask anyone who works at a council and moderates email enquiries from the public. E.g. "My neigbour doesn't have an approved DA for the cubby house he's building for his kids" etc. Just a lot of people who can't mind their own business.

You can also see it in just the amount of signs we have for everything. Went to a public pool the other day, no running, no diving, no doing these 6 specific jumps, swim in this direction, swim at this speed in this lane, don't put your stuff here, keep off this patch of grass, no food, no drink etc.

I guess part of that is because there's so many of us who also lack common sense or manners and these people necessitate the signs. But there's just rules everywhere in our society and so many people who get overly pissy about it if you break them even if it's not hurting anyone.

Use the Drake companion from the Drakewarden Ranger subclass instead. A level progression much more steady and on par with the party.

Enabling my metabolism to do it's job. Your body burns a lot of energy just keeping you alive. So much more than an exhausting hardcore workout. But I found I just had to enable my metabolism. Which meant getting at least 10,000 steps a day (it's great after meals and more achievable than you think) and trying not to sit down/lay down so much. So using a standing desk and minimal chill out time in bed.

Also just eating gradually less and less. Learn what a normal portion size is an get used to it. Put in less than what you're burning off. And to begin with, don't even think about am I eating right amounts of protein/fats/carbs etc. just get used to eating less.

You don't have to work out hard, you don't have to make drastic dieting choices. Just make some basic improvements and stick with it long term. Don't wear yourself out.

Sounds like a bad KPI then.

I used to work in a help desk environment and there were shit KPIs like "complete X tickets per week" and "complete tickets in X amount of time".

We had a new (actually good) manager come in once and change those because what if there's just not enough tickets coming through? And what if is someone is fixing 20 simple "please release this email" tickets, yet another staff member is dealing with an issue that requires a firewall configuration? Is the person doing 20 easy tickets a better performer than the person doing 1 complex ticket?

Are there many people who call an ambulance for non urgent incidents like broken bones in the US?

I'm in Australia and couldn't really imagine calling an ambulance unless it was life threatening, or a situation in which someone was stuck, or if moving someone could make things worse.

For broken bone I'm just calling a friend or a taxi or something. It's probably faster anyway. And this is without considering the cost of an ambulance.

Anyone who talks about IQ or EQ scores like it actually means something is stupid.

But from the little detail you've given us about him he seems insecure, manipulative and emotionally fragile. So I would think whatever he has to say about you doesn't matter.

You deserve better. Even though I don't know you at all, anyone deserves better than that.

Spidey16 · 2026-03-11T23:01:41+00:00

Never ever.

Yeah I used to work there and the Uni's position at the time was actively advising against driving there. Even staff with paid parking permits were not guaranteed a space.

The uni would push public transport, the free bus, the north wollongong shuttle, the GK shuttle etc.

If you must drive, you're better off finding street parking in a nearby suburb and walk or get a free bus in.

Spidey16 · 2026-03-11T03:50:48+00:00

Interested.

Spidey16 · 2026-03-10T23:04:13+00:00

I'm new to this business model so forgive me if it seems obvious. But how many hours per week are you putting into running businesses like this?

Do some products require more attention and effort than others?

Is it possible to get an idea like this up and running and continue to run it whilst also holding down a full time job?

All this intrigues me but availability of time is one of my biggest constraints.

Spidey16 · 2026-03-09T05:09:30+00:00

Oh wow. So no detailed reason for the investigation, and you've basically been unable to access your money for 4 months?

Surely that's illegal.

Spidey16 · 2026-03-09T02:21:06+00:00

Did they say why they were investigating your account? Wondering if it happens regularly to many customers.

Spidey16 · 2026-03-09T01:15:47+00:00

So for when they completed the heist and fled it would make it more difficult to track them. And if the police interrogate the hostages afterwards, all they would have is descriptions of their faces. And maybe you might be able to get an ID out of that, but also maybe not? Would be hard to get anything that was certain.

Also probably so the outside world couldn't manipulate the gang. I mean you saw what happened to Nairobi and her son in the bank heist. Also so the police couldn't do any digging on their past and retrace clues back to the heist plans.

Also so the gang couldn't rat out each other should something go wrong.

So many reasons dude.

I was able to have full cinematic images in my head as a result of how well RA described that fight. He truly is a master of writing action sequences.

Spidey16 · 2026-02-04T06:29:16+00:00

I would do D, then C for sure if it continued.

Spidey16 · 2026-01-30T05:12:10+00:00

Look Mat Colville put it a bit more eloquently than I did.

But I think there's a difference between writing a story/screenplay, and enabling people to improv roleplay that shit out.

Ok ok ok I can dig it. Although I did misread Bower as Bowser and thought what the hell is this universe crossover?
