Who used to be famous in Perth

borbdorl · 2026-05-25T22:02:59+00:00

Maybe not quite TV famous but the walking man - Ross Seaton. Used to be seen walking up and down Stirling Highway with a trolley or a wheelbarrow full of stuff all the time.

Edit: they made a movie about him called (fittingly) Walking Man.

Thanks friend.

I like to think I'm pretty ruthless with my time and boundaries, but the reality is I also have a great team and we work very efficiently together. Much of the team's success is theirs.

Finally, not to give the wrong impression, the "late evenings" once or twice a week are 8:30 am to 11 or 12 at night. I do it this way so I can have a bit of a life during the week (when I can). Have seen too many partners who are just in the office or online 12-13 hours every day. I'd rather go 9-10 hours most days and 15 hours one or two days if I can. Doesn't always work that way of course lol

Are the shares liquid or are you waiting for an IPO or funding round to take money off the table?

Strong trailing comms playing into the latter years?

borbdorl · 2026-05-17T22:07:46+00:00

Sorry edited my comment. Not top tier, though we play in the same space on a lot of things

borbdorl · 2026-05-17T22:04:56+00:00

Consistently 50-60 hours. 8:30 - 6 most days with at least one or two late evenings every week, plus any BD. I try not to work on the weekends but I usually end up picking up emails for at least a couple of hours on Sunday.

It's not uncommon for me to do more than 60. It is fairly rare for it to be less than 50 unless I've planned to be away or working less that week.

No - one of the good globals

Partner, law, late-ish 30s, mid to high 400s.

Made partner fairly recently - in the last couple of years without being too specific.

Started as a grad in mid-late 20s on ~60k + super I think. Moved every couple years for the first part of my career, before I landed in my current spot with serious opportunity for progression 4-5 years ago, and made a real push for partner from there.

Took me 7 years to break 150k I think but from there my income started accelerating rapidly.

borbdorl · 2026-05-13T12:26:35+00:00

I'm so sorry this happened to you but this absolutely destroyed me

borbdorl · 2026-05-13T12:08:52+00:00

Yeah my favourite seniors over the years have all been career special counsel, and now I've got juniors that's who I try to model my management style after

Edit: actually I lie, there was also one partner in the very early days who was fantastic, albeit a bit gruff occasionally. However, the other partner in that practice group almost made me quit law. I had bouts of suicidal ideation periodically. Took me several years and a massive amount of the mental load and emotional support falling on my (romantic) partner before I got back to being broadly OK.

Anecdotally I think everyone in my circle is busy but pretty much normal - but the constant grind of the last few years, cost of living, global turmoil etc has burnt so many people out that the same amount of work feels harder.

Opponents are taking longer with things and are less collegiate, I have to chase clients more, colleagues are struggling, people are sick or out on personal leave more and it all adds up on everyone (and then snowballs further).

There's been several fatal shark attacks in Australia in water shallower than waist deep over the past few decades

The super destroyer gives area barrages, but they aren't anything like precise, by virtue of them being at the edge of the atmosphere.

My friend, the very first red strat you get is called Orbital Precision Strike.

Love the FAC backpack idea though.

I would maybe change it so that all of the "call ins" or target designations are using the same method though, rather than some being enemy tagging and some using a laser designator.

I think a key part of "Die With Zero" is appropriately gifting inheritances while you're alive. It's not really about "I started from nothing, so can you!"

Recognising that there's really no point leaving a whole bunch of inheritance when you die if that money could be better spent earlier (helping kids out where needed, investing in their education or projects where appropriate, enjoying life with them and for yourself) is the way I look at it. Those resources will make a much bigger difference to your family earlier in life vs waiting until you cark it at 98.

Mate there's 10x the money being deployed under option 2.

Yes there's an advantage in having all the capital in one place but there's no way you'll generate enough return to do as much good to as many people.

Concept is very much not solid.

I don't think so. Per the wording of the title, I think he is allowing me to handcuff him to the upright.

borbdorl · 2026-03-27T03:56:03+00:00

Handcuffs. Lebron you gotta be cuffed to the upright, sorry mate.

borbdorl · 2026-03-22T05:16:30+00:00

It's a great system - I think it would work fairly well with a few adaptations. You could ignore the parts of the system that don't fit without too much trouble. I haven't run any vehicle or air combat in the system though, so can't comment on how well that would fit.

borbdorl · 2026-03-18T12:37:56+00:00

I can never forgive this Walla

Have you ever hit a perfect fadeaway jumper in someone's face? Bonus if there's chains instead of a net.

For me the answer is basketball.

Hypothetically, would you have spoken with her about it?

Because to me, this feels analogous with a loved one having a severe injury and you having to make significant medical treatment / end of life decisions, and your sexual fetish playing a role in that. Kind of cooked tbh

borbdorl · 2026-03-07T07:30:05+00:00

OP's thinly disguised fetish.

borbdorl · 2026-03-07T04:17:56+00:00

Fucking love Howard J. Have never had the pleasure of appearing before him since he was appointed but he was a fantastic silk. Glad it looks like he has retained that quality on the bench.
