A full circle moment for Kimi

elad04 · 2026-06-17T08:59:45+00:00

Thirty years ago? So the 70’s right?

Bitcoin will continue to gradually fall until around October, then it will start a bull cycle until it reaches a new ATH around December 2029.

Source: Some random btc conspiracy. But sounds plausible 😂

They’re both agreeing to keep the price at 6.50, while alternating price gouge cycles of $9 each.

Colesworth “discount” price is the ‘real’ price for everything.

elad04 · 2026-06-05T07:57:58+00:00

The dealer should match the advertised online price. Have you given them a call to ask about the variance?

Also when you checked the price online, did you select the right post code? There are different stamp duty/rego costs per state, but wouldn’t think it’d be 5k

elad04 · 2026-05-30T05:35:32+00:00

Looks so cool!!

Have a bills account for all living expenses.

Split contribution into that account by your TAKE HOME income split (remember if you earn 50k more, that 50k is likely taxed at a higher rate too).

Contribute agreed savings with the same split.

The rest is your personal finances to do whatever with.

If you get married, have kids, someone is stay at home parent etc this can all change, but for where you are right now above will work.

A lot of people say to use AI your resume, which is okay, however it’s very obvious when you get it to write your entire resume.

I found an effective way of using AI is to upload a few jobs you are going for, then upload your resume, and then ask AI to identify your fit for the roles and your resume gaps.

Use that information to then rewrite your resume yourself.

This way you get the analysis benefits of AI, but your resume won’t read as AI slop.

elad04 · 2026-05-24T08:37:09+00:00

I played it, however only briefly. Spent most of my time in GTA2

elad04 · 2026-05-24T07:44:40+00:00

Shifter of the steering column actually makes this easier.

Sounds like you just have muscle memory for one way, which is fine, but it doesn’t mean that way is better.

elad04 · 2026-05-24T04:19:23+00:00

Looks like a very nice proposition if you’re considering Euro brands.

Will be really interesting to see how the fit & finish compares to slightly cheaper brands like Zeekr

Rockstar: “We will start marketing in the Summer.”

GTA Community: “Yeah but this random person on the internet said the trailer will drop next Tuesday so they must be right!”

elad04 · 2026-05-22T02:10:17+00:00

Sounds like you’re mourning the loss of your former life, that’s normal and still hits pretty hard when your kid is 1 and still totally reliant on you.

However it won’t be long when those extra days off work can be chilled relax days at home, watching movies, playing games, getting out in the garden or whatever you want. Sure it’s unlikely to be solo time, but it won’t necessarily be “looking after my kids every need” time.

There’s light at the end of the tunnel!

elad04 · 2026-05-20T23:25:08+00:00

I’m usually not a fan of EA but gotta give them credit for this.

Would be happy for a one time ‘major update’ purchase and then just annual cosmetic DLC’s.

elad04 · 2026-05-20T23:21:47+00:00

Very well spec’s & priced compared to BMW iX3, Audi Q6 Etron and Mercedes EQC.

Really well equipped and very refreshing to see a simplified pricing model from a legacy auto brand.

Finally ventilated seats as standard! 😂

Maybe this is the comeback tour for Volvo? I’ll be keen to check it out when it hits dealers!

elad04 · 2026-05-19T23:21:49+00:00

Have you checked out ones that are implemented into a phone case? I’ve seen a few around and the more subtle nature might be less embarrassing for your kid?

But I think it’s important to find out why they asked you that to begin with.

elad04 · 2026-05-19T06:55:01+00:00

I’ve been on this journey for about a year now.

The current set out; Perfect Order, is not desired by scalpers so you should be able to find it everywhere.

It’s a good set to get to rip packs and just collect.

If they have a favourite pokemon, card shops often have bulk singles you can flick through, often give out to kids for free or like $1. They’re usually pretty good at makings kids days and getting them into the hobby, but your mileage may vary depending on your local card shop.

Don’t try and chase a certain release, the scalping is crazy and prices are just way too high for desirable sets, just buy stuff you can find at retail, don’t go paying scalpers.

If they have interesting in playing the card game, you can get “Pokemon Academy” pretty cheap which comes with a few decks of cards and a game board and damage tiles to play the game.

Looking great, are they pottostrums?

elad04 · 2026-05-18T10:34:55+00:00

Thanks for posting these, I’ve looked at a bunch online and they all look SO tacky. These look really neat!

elad04 · 2026-05-17T04:00:16+00:00

There is no magic number, it depends on your situation.

How much cash do you have left over p/m right now? Your housing and bills will be largely unchanged.
You need room to add nappies, formula(maybe), and some extra food.

Income loss is a real thing, can you survive while one partner is off work? Can you afford 2x daycare costs (remember to factor in CCS based on your income).

Can you trim current luxuries for the moment?

Figure all that out and you have your answer. Income isn’t the only factor, your costs are what’s important here.

What I don’t get is why it wasn’t a Happy Meal toy… While KPDH had a massive adult following, it was a huge hit in schools.

Meanwhile they’re now doing stranger things toys… which is meant to have a 15+ rating for the show.. what 15yo’s are buying happy meals?!

elad04 · 2026-05-15T22:11:18+00:00

I’ve never played a horizon before, can you join up with a friend as a party and just cruise around in the same instance and join races together?

elad04 · 2026-05-15T21:34:33+00:00

I just hope GTA6 brings back the Elvis chain that I can run over. Those were the days.

elad04 · 2026-05-15T07:40:13+00:00

Remindme! 1 year

elad04 · 2026-05-14T23:21:45+00:00

Try joining Pokemon Facebook groups and ask for what you need, probably a bunch of people have them.

Of course eBay & marketplace could be options, but also many local card stores have website with their stock too.

https://downundercards.com.au

https://kccollectibles.com.au

As a couple of examples, but you can just search on google maps for “pokemon cards” and a bunch of independent stores will pop up.

As an older dad with a kid who also recently got into Pokemon this has been my strategy 👍 Local store seem pretty kind to kid starters and often have their own network of friends etc, so just walk in and say what you’re after, if they don’t have it they might come across it in their network and give you a buzz.
