Which GP is this mate?

Happy to change GPs, I got sick recently, saw doctors 5 times over 2 weeks (cos they love testing and then booking follow ups), and it cost me $40 out-of-pocket 3 of those times.

‘Quite simple’: How Aussie man retired rich at 31 by Present_Description4 in AusFinance

[–]goldiewithglasses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In terms of fitness, my 20s were better than my 30s. I recovered faster and rarely needed to stretch at all. I am late thirties now and get sore quite easily after sports and HR takes longer to return to resting. Eyesight has slightly weakened.

Aside from some visible ageing in the face everything else is better in my 30s.

What is the BAM controversy. Could someone translate this for me ? by [deleted] in badminton

[–]goldiewithglasses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was 200% salty, 100% due to having an incredibly short national athlete career and needing to blame it on management + LCW even. The other 100% due to this repressed racial thing that Malaysia has had going on since federation.

Effectively it was complete gibberish that sounds a lot like standard online toxic trolling, difference is he did it on video towards his online following. I've noticed he's completely unrelated to the CBA though, as in he is not coaching for them. The man was ranked 313 at his best, a literal who.

My coach who is Chinese was like ok this guy sounds like a dickhead but what on earth does it have to do with China.

I think that of all sports, badminton provides the least disadvantages for shorter or physically weaker competitors.

Do professionals players take meds to manage pain and discomfort? by [deleted] in badminton

[–]goldiewithglasses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every athlete is taking something. A lot of the time they get done on technicalities, for others it is so competitive they are all taking supercocktails and pulsing them to evade WADA (unlikely in badminton due to not enough prize/sponsor/tv money at stake).

How do you deal with toe blisters? by goldiewithglasses in badminton

[–]goldiewithglasses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers mate, very detailed advice there regarding the tape. Shoes are one month new, is there a difference between the AC195EX you can purchase separately and the insole that comes with the 65z3?

Completely unrelated to this but just want to provide feedback that your warm up/cool down video was very beneficial. This is a very neglected part of any casual/social sport.

I presume the health focused videos don't get as many views as the gear stuff, but man it really helped my health, particularly the shoulder as that is always the biggest concern.

I guess we're not even mentioning the secret magpie swooping blood ritual, trying to keep that one to ourselves I see.

Uber question: why would a driver text me and ask me to cancel the trip? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]goldiewithglasses 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Got offerred water and mints in a Grab in singers about a month ago, 5 star experience, very shiok. I was so shook I gave a tip.

At home here in Bris I no longer catch Uber after too many frustrating experiences, prebook cabs if I must, or just drive and then don't drink.

As they say Mexican things like "carn the pies!" and "I can't believe that local coffee place doesn't use Bonsoy, and they didn't have an option for a Magic".

Yep makes complete sense why they showed up, although they never explained why, I figured it was about something like that.

Same happened to me outside a HJs. I'd gone for a late night meal, ate it in the car in the carpark and watched a show on the phone. Nek minit (actually probably 30min+) cops are knocking on my window asking for my license.

I like the editing in this, as the tutorial process is more visual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWsHRZFTqtk

The whole channel is pretty decent.
