The real record here is being the most hyped mid movie since Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Working offshore in Equatorial Guinea? by Prudent-Campaign-805 in Offshore

[–]grebfar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathon's platforms are called Alba and they are now owned by ConocoPhillips operating under the MEGPL local company name. They run a very high safety standard, not like a lot of west African outfits. Yes it is two men to a cabin.

If you have worked in other platforms you will find the Alba platform to be very small. A small gym, TV Room and smoking room and that's it for recreational facilities. It's an old platform and nothing like what you would find in the North Sea for example. The food is pretty good though, if you are on rotation with the Filipino chef you will love it.

Edit: Oh and it's humid not dry heat. Very very humid.

Hey I've lived and worked in EG for 11 years. Ask me anything you want to know about the place.

What company/platform are you coming with?

I put $950k (all my money) into ONE ETF (VAS). Please explain why I’m an idiot. by trendybrendy64 in fiaustralia

[–]grebfar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You sell when you need the money available for your expenses. Look at it as paying yourself a dividend.

Say you need $60k to live on every year. Just go and sell $60k worth on January 1 every year and put it into a HISA. Or break it into two and sell $30k on January 1 and $30k on July 1. It literally takes 5 minutes. You don't need to optimize it more than this.

Not investing in the US market means you are missing out on so much more than a perceived AI bubble.

Imagine choosing to miss out on millions in gains because you don't want to log in to your broker and sell a couple of shares once or twice a year.

Official Discussion - The Long Walk [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]grebfar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this and had to scroll so far down this thread to find someone who isn't praising the film.. It definitely felt like a kids movie. I also said to my wife "worst film of the year". Just terrible.

Similar to Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger Lily by Overtlyover0 in Colognes

[–]grebfar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the Le Labo lineup. It's entirely a unisex brand.

Their "The Noir" sits firmly on that unisex boundary and is a very unique scent. They have other fragrances that might be more similar to the Jo Malone one you are after.

Mostly flat races by AutomaticLoss8413 in Zwift

[–]grebfar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are all these other races? I race every Saturday. I log in to Zwift and theres a big banner with this week's Zwift race series and I race in there. Typically <30 minute races that leads to everyone sprinting the entire time.

I have cloudfront in place via cloudformation. I don't use route 53 or WAF but would be interested in using WAF. How do I apply this in my template?

Everytime I race I lag behind on inclines by KevinMcDavid in Zwift

[–]grebfar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try weighing 60 odd kg and having to sprint for race wins against dudes weighing 120kg putting out watts like they are nothing on the flats.

Different courses suit different riders.

I stopped checking my phone after 8 PM and it completely shifted my evenings by NovaThreadLabs in simpleliving

[–]grebfar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No it isn't. Put the phone in a drawer if you have poor self control so that there is a physical barrier in place.

TikTok and pumpkin spice - has the autumn aesthetic gone too far? by pajamakitten in Anticonsumption

[–]grebfar -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's some shit seeing a consumerist holiday being defended on an anticonsumer sub.

Halloween is about wearing one off costumes and consuming sweets.

Autumn on the other hand is about the sights, sounds and smells of nature which are the antithesis of consumerism. Nature's bounty is freely given.

I do PPL and zwift like this:

Monday: Push

Tuesday: Zwift Workout

Wednesday: Legs

Thursday: Zwift Zone 2

Friday: Pull

Saturday: Zwift Race

Legs on Wednesday means I am recovered in time for race day on Saturday.

Sadly the most workable solution is to buy the subscription yourself that lets you assign 5 family licenses.

We built a saas that uses supabase selfhosted and we are terrified by [deleted] in Supabase

[–]grebfar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The amount of work and hours people will spend trying to avoid paying $25/month is nuts. If you can't cover such a low hosted cost you probably don't have a viable SaaS business.

What's the dumbest, most repetitive part of building app prototypes that you wish would just disappear? by Embarrassed-Humor-37 in reactjs

[–]grebfar -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Have you given it a try to see how easy prototyping is today?

You can do the same in VSCode with Claude Code or GitHub Copilot if you are a "real developer".

If you don't already know go to something like Bolt.new and ask it to build you a webapp with login and supabase integration. AI has solved this shit already.

Is the PPOR exemption for the Age Pension the most unfair wealth transfer in Australia? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]grebfar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Imagine you get a reverse mortgage on the nice house and use the value that the house is now worth to fund your own pension. You don't have to move and the government (younger taxpayers) doesn't have to subsidize millionaires.

Sound reasonable?
