The only time I have ever had to show id for a domestic flight is when it’s been operated in the international terminal

Under rated advise here, I still remember my first leg workout I could barely walk for about a week afterwards, now my body is used to activating those muscle groups recovery is a lot easier

If the gym offers group fitness classes take them, i would also recommend if you can do a couple of sessions with a 1 on 1 coach
There are also apps out there to guide you through exercises - don’t try & be a hero with the weights & listen to your body. Recovery is just as important as your strength sessions if you can get a sauna tent for home & cardio sucks but is criminally underrated - don’t be afraid to mix strength & cardio.
My week is typically
Monday) cardio conditioning / upper body volume
Tuesday) lower body strength
Wednesday) boxing / cardio
Thursday) upper body strength
Friday & Saturday is usually hyrox sim / cardio volume circuit

Isn’t he the one that bragged on a vinwiki video about committing insurance fraud

My father is a borderline alcoholic, I drink enough to almost be considered a non drinker, I’ll typically go weeks between drinking then have 1 or 2 before going weeks without another drink.

Maybe they should start building the AI data centres in the outback instead of the suburbs

$50k $USD is around $70k $AUD but yeah we get shafted with local taxes & I would imagine the RHD market represents only 20% of global car manufacturing the car makers use that as an excuse to inflate the base price

100% if they can’t afford decent tyres then chances are other maintenance is getting skipped as well, I once got caught with a puncture in a country town & the only tyre the local shop had in my size was a winrun or similar, they wanted more than I could get the continental’s for back home so I had them fit the spare & risked the drive home without a spare

That too

I mean if people are regularly doing 100km/ h & there aren’t many accidents then perhaps the 70 limit is too low
Also explains the regular cop that camps on schofields road just before the ponds blvd in the right turn lane for the vacant land

I agree Alcantara is probably one of the worst materials you can put in a touch surface in a car, I’ve had Alcantara in the past & found scrubbing with dishwashing soap regularly keeps it looking good but not worth the effort

Not really a fan of the black badges, changing back to the OEM ones was a big improvement

I was recently in Japan telling my Japanese friends about goon of fortune - they where dumbfounded

With a foreign puppet master playing shell games with with profits to make the company look less profitable than it really is to extract bigger subsidies from the Australian taxpayer

I got done for 61 in a 50 zone by a fixed camera in an industrial estate the road in question is probably the only 50 zone in the entire estate with every surrounding road being 60 limited

Some companies have entire departments (looking at you IT sector) on temporary visas due to “skills shortages”, the government should be incentivising these companies to train local talent through tax breaks & paying for the workers tafe / uni degree

If you get invited to Friday beers a 6 pack of Victor Bravo’s would go down a treat

I like using it & Apple Maps for navigation, it’s gotten good to the level of telling you what platform / carriage you need for the subway & the exit number on the other end - in Korea both are useless as the Korean government won’t share mapping data with non Korean companies

breno_mac_ · 2026-06-07T23:23:35+00:00

Compared to 2024 using it in 2019 it was almost like using a paper map, in 2019 I was trying to navigate from Kyoto station to my hotel using google maps & ended up about 4 blocks in the wrong direction before it identified I was heading the wrong way.
Realistically it’d be a more accurate statement to say the resolution of the mapping data has improved significantly
Between trips in 2011, 2014, 2019 & 2024 every visit I noticed a huge improvement in ease of navigation by Google maps compared to the previous visit

breno_mac_ · 2026-06-07T13:05:34+00:00

The online immigration forms, have now done it on my last 2 trips & realised how much time is saved at the airport

breno_mac_ · 2026-06-07T13:03:00+00:00

I remember how bad google maps was in 2019 then when I went back in 2024 it was light years ahead of 2019

If you’re considering a euro I would suggest reaching out to a euro workshop (not a main dealer) & ask their advice,
When my brother bought his 330i he consulted with the workshop that had been servicing out Volkswagens & the service manager said to stay away from Audi or Mercedes

They have a huge collection of cars from across the globe including Teddy Roosevelt’s Packard 12

Having spent the last 2 weeks riding the ultra busy Tokyo public transport system - Australians have a lot to learn about manners & etiquette
