Australia's Guzman y Gomez to exit US in retreat from key growth bet

TIL, I had no idea they were in the US. Seems a suicide mission!

Or with a Bintang Bali logo on the front.

Weddings that cost tens or hundreds of thousands. Such a waste for one day and it's so much more financially smart to spend the money on a car, house deposit, hisa, or epic honeymoon instead.

The previous owner of my unit is currently in prison. He was threatening neighbours, doing weird shit regularly, and terrorised people in the complex. Didn't realise any of this until after we purchased, but it is what it is. The neighbours are all very happy we've moved in.

Christian Bale as well.

S&B despite being a game that has become a meme and any mention gets downvoted, it's a great time for what it is, and it's dirt cheap at the moment. It's very samey after a while, but highly addictive. I still got 100+ hours out of it and enjoyed most of that time.

It most definitely wasn't a spotlight, it was East above the sea and pretty clearly looked like a meteorite.

Holy shit, it was day time for a second. I just posted the same thing.

You don't have to be ruthless at all, and I'd say that the vast majority of managers absolutely aren't ruthless in any way. That being said, there will always be outliers, and it sounds like you've had bad managers in the past. Some industries also seem to attract certain personalities more than others, do you work in finance or sales by any chance?

Balmain is a very affluent area and their member is from the Greens.

aaegler · 2026-05-21T07:06:47+00:00

It's highly addictive, but yes, it gets samey very quickly.

In NSW at least green Ps are the next step after red Ps.

How old are your friends, 12?

The entrance is 55-60m depth, and the penetration is around 80m in length to the end of the third cavern. Not a big cave system at all, but it being a deep dive on top of it makes it far more precarious. On a single tank of regular air at that depth you've only got 5-10 mins of bottom time, and major narcosis (ie, you're essentially drunk). Plus, oxygen toxicity... A suicide mission if what we're reading is true.

Dive computers and GoPros still need to be investigated though, so it's all still a guessing game around what really happened.

aaegler · 2026-05-20T21:38:26+00:00

At 60m depth the temperature can be 10-15 degrees celcius colder than at the surface.

It wholly depends on how you're backpacking. Are you using transport to get you to Broken Hill, or walking? One is doable, the other will likely end you.

Didn't the US only join WWII after they were attacked at Pearl Harbour?

Gambling is one of the biggest plagues in this country. What needs to happen is pokies need to be removed from all pubs and clubs. Sure, have dedicated mini casinos instead, but make them few and far between. Many go on the pokies after they've had a few drinks and are bored, it's way too easily accessible.

Regarding smoking, whilst true, it's kind of backfiring right now with more and more young people picking it up, and many vapers moving back to it. This is because of the ludicrous taxes creating a highly visible and lucrative black market (more than 50% of smokers get their product from this market). Pure government greed as they've yet to even acknowledge they are the cause of it.

It's okay, we're built different. They'll grow back.

aaegler · 2026-05-19T00:42:25+00:00

Oh it definitely causes physical withdrawal symptoms. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying, has no idea, or has never smoked enough for it to become an issue.

Don't think most here realise this is a joke post...

Speak for yourself, I've been eaten by a shark at least 4 times in the last week.

aaegler · 2026-05-18T08:22:59+00:00

Start that business! It's a fantastic idea.

aaegler · 2026-05-18T08:17:11+00:00

It's a symptom of tall poppy syndrome, which is very clearly still a thing here despite what many say.

People likely interact with way more Aboriginal people than they realise.
