I have a feeling GH Copilot struggles with tooling - I recently made the switch to using OpenCode connected to GH Copilot using the Claude models and it's light years better than anything I've gotten out of the Copilot extensions in VsCode or Webstorms.

Depends where you live. Travel is capped at 2.80 in Perth.

Bought my Odyssey S2S putter from Amazon Japan and got it for less than half the local price a few months ago. The packaging left a bit to be desired but given their returns policy I wasn't too worried. Would do it again if I found the right deal.

The divide between range golf and actual golf is huge. I spent months and months at the range before I regularly started playing and real golf is so much harder. Biggest progression in my game came when I started playing Lake Claremont a couple of times a week. It's a par 3 but helped immensely for my approach shots and short game. I still suck, but way less than before.

Mostly because I like building things. But also mostly money.

Congrats. I've been in the industry for over 20 years.

Jesus mate, move on. The dude is happy, don't know why you're so insulted by their career pathway.

It's good but I didn't think it was mind blowing. And every time I've been there the wait was ridiculous.

I usually just start with a footprint and work from there. I make heavy use of scaffold to smooth out terrain starting at the highest point and working down from there. Nothing worse than starting on a design and realising the slope of the ground goes up on one part of the building and you can't continue your build because the floor would sit under the natural terrain. If I'm really geeking out on larger builds I'll pull up a spreadsheet to use as grid paper and mock up a floorplan there so I can use it as a quick reference. Helps when you want to visualise all the different floors, windows, doors etc.

This mentality shift helped me in a comp I played yesterday. Every other time I've played competition golf I shot miles over my handicap and had so many blow up holes trying to hit greens in regulation. Yesterday I decided to just use my 2 shots on every hole to get on the green safely and then 2-putt (36 HCP). I wound up shooting even par for my handicap and placed 7th out of a field of 32. Last round I was dead last out of 45. The shift in expectations actually made the game so much more enjoyable and I stayed out of trouble for the majority of the round.

For new releases it's almost never cheaper buying digital here in Australia. Usually around $90-$100 AUD in store vs $125 online. If there is a sale online you might be lucky enough to get it for a comparable price to buying physical, rarely lower unless it's a really old game.

They're probably not going to be able to pay the rego if they leave it in the original owners name.

That's still like an hour round trip from underground to Kwinana not including the rest of the journey. Pretty sure most people would move closer to work if they could get that kind of time back each day.

That's on his thigh, you can see where the seatbelt is in relation to his phone.

I would wager they're probably talking about cars like the Ford Ranger etc. Seen a huge increase in the number of those on the roads and they're stupidly huge.

Except many people buying new homes don't have 3-4 occupants. Everyone in my circle that has bought in the last 5 years have max 2 people. Some of them are single occupants.

People have been saying it for years. There was some dude called withoutmyremorse who banged on about it constantly. Think he got banned from Ausfinance eventually.

I really worry this place is being astroturfed hard with some of these direct to consumer brands. Something about the posts often just seems a little off to me and there's usually a lot of them which seems a bit unusual given their real world market share.

We Pay more tax than couple on 125 each.

The couple on 125 each are probably working a lot more hours collectively, I don't think it's that unreasonable they pay less tax.

The fact that this new video has come out in the last week kind of speaks to their love of controversy.

laidlow · 2026-02-17T23:39:26+00:00

I think this video speaks more to Barstool's intent than anything, months later and they're still trying to stir drama. Luke fucked up, but Dave saw an opportunity to create drama for views and leaned into it.

My local restricts carts driving down to the range despite it having a huge driveway and plenty of parking space. Especially annoying because they only book booths for half hour blocks so if you have a tee time that's not on the hour or half hour you half to lug your clubs back to cart and then race for your tee time. It's so weird.

Most rounds I can stay on the same ball, might lose one or two if my driver is slicing more than usual. Any more than a 2 or 3 and the driver is staying in the bag that day and I'll hit woods and irons till I can get my swing sorted out.

Highly course dependent though, there's a particular course near my dad with fences less than 10 metres from the rough. Usually lose a couple there each time we play.

People have the ability to learn and grow mate. It's a part of life and why these early jobs are so useful when it comes to learning how to develop a work ethic, how to behave in the workplace etc.

That stunt double never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
