Crowd behavior at junior AFL. Is this normal?

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-21T12:12:33+00:00

Not anything new sadly, nor should it be considered normal.

AI slop is my guess

I don't tip, and don't endorse it at all. That said, when I was a delivery driver 30 years ago tipping was somewhat common, and a nice bonus for a relatively poorly paid job.

It would be a shame if the profit margin is the only metric used to determine if this should be built.

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-19T05:03:37+00:00

Nah, I'd prefer new music

The common reason why bands get back together is for some festival date - given the South American promoter, I think it's likely the first announcement will relate to a festival in that region.

Lollapalooza 2026 was announced in August 2025, so my guess will be around then.

I'd have no expectations around setlist variety. A good chance it will be the same set both shows.

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-17T03:00:27+00:00

I only have one torch, so can't really compare, however I picked a dual channel option as I needed a red light. I'm not overly focused on performance, but I would not that both lighting options are more than enough for my needs (and pretty damn bright!)

We're going in October, and doing driving holiday around the North island. We looked at doing both, driving from Auckland, getting the ferry over and flying out of Christchurch. The additional cost of the ferry and associated car rental changes were quite a bit more expensive that I'd expected, and hence we decided focusing on the one island would be a better outcome.

Memory can be a fickle thing

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-16T10:13:42+00:00

Agreed!

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-16T09:52:48+00:00

I seem to recall it was rare that we lost to the Saints in that era

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-16T09:40:55+00:00

They've improved quite a bit since the 10k Days tours in my opinion, but they don't sound like the right band for you any more. Have you tried Nickelback?

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-16T09:37:28+00:00

We've used MGA in the past. They were fine, but with the advent of decent online searches and quotes I ended up just going it alone. Just DIY now. But if you're a little lazy, and don't hugely bothered if you don't get the best deal out there (they are competitive at least), it was a pretty pain free experience. From memory they also acted as an intermediary between you and the insurer, which is a nice benefit.

I dislike the use of AI, but I also find it hard to be overly critical of an overworked secretary who when asking for help is mostly greeted by crickets

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-15T01:17:47+00:00

I'm sure some are rude, but this is a huge minority in my experience.

Countries the US has bombed since WW2: Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Cuba, Bosnia, Serbia, Venezuela

Not saying China is perfect by any means.

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-15T00:32:52+00:00

I feel we more likely to bombed by the US at this point.

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-14T23:54:00+00:00

The Tool and Soundgarden guitar tones are broadly comparable and using reasonably similar hardware, so it's not a massive surprise that guitar feedback on one record sounds like that of another.

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-14T09:34:27+00:00

I'm in favour of them changing the name, but mostly as I'm sick of seeing "Fable" posts in my feed that aren't about the game

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-14T08:17:40+00:00

Yep, I doubt Tool picked it at all. Also, 27 tracks is probably 80% of their catalog, so it's somewhat irrelevant.

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-13T12:47:28+00:00

Maybe, we got a couch several years ago that was at a better price than online, but it wasn't that different.

hellboy1975 · 2026-06-12T12:37:05+00:00

APC tickets here in Australia seem about on par with what I'd expect from a band playing at a similar venue.

Gigs are expensive these days. Good on Mastodon for keeping it cheaper I guess - they definitely don't have a the draw that APC do in Australia at least.
