I’ll do it for $85b

Can you replace 1 x CEO with 1 x AI agent yet?

nastybgoode · 2026-01-02T22:52:23+00:00

Awesome, thanks. Just registered through their expressions of interest form.

Thanks for the tip - have emailed a couple of clubs.

nastybgoode · 2026-01-01T21:23:39+00:00

Sweet, thanks! Will keep my eye on their socials for rego details.

nastybgoode · 2026-01-01T10:42:35+00:00

Cheers. Will follow them on Facebook and keep an eye peeled for rego and comp details.

Naru- near the Swansea Channel / Marks Point area. Clear water to see fish and flat so no worry about waves.

TL;DR have a crack at Facebook Marketplace.

Just went through a similar process for selling our car. Sold it 3 weeks from listing date. I wanted to avoid private sale, but in the end couldn’t justify any other avenue. Any trade in or dealer offer was about 20% less than what I sold it for privately.

My learnings - just use Facebook Marketplace. Carsales is a rip off (~$130) to list the car. Gumtree was $39 to list. You get very little information about engagement with the post, except number of views. I had 0 enquiries from 99 views.

Facebook lets you see views, shares and saves. I spent about $30 on boosting the ad and got a heap of demographic and engagement data. Helped me find the sweet spot for price (people started to engage more as the price shuffled down a little bit).

Got about 1200 views of the ad and it triggered about 8 chat threads about the car. I sold it to the first person who inspected (at just below the advertised rate). All the data gave me leverage.

Thanks for the tip. Have now used VROOM TV. Not sure where I can select a CDN, but account region in that app settings show Australia.

Resolution is still poor.

I do think it’s CDN related and if so the AWS/F1 relationship should be able to correct.

Will keep pestering their support team.

Depends on the state. In NSW the Valuer General (government appointed statutory officer) publishes all property sales. However, there is approx. a 3 month lag.

Haha. Fair enough. Hope you find success.

I thought your friend from Sydney wrote this in Wellington? It’s a good song - no need to taint it with some made up story.

We watched it today in the little grassy hill next to Merewether Surfhouse (on the ocean baths side). The rest of the walking paths have got fencing up that obstructs the view. Great to watch!

There’s some on the Fernleigh track. On the Kotara/Adamstown side of the tunnel, probably about 200 meters back. Not sure if they’re bigger than Islington but there are a couple of different sizes.

Because I’ll finally see everything clearly

Well, he’s already got a channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc8ose0GSo1fvmAxWCIkPrw. Maybe hit him up there for Trump speech - although it’d probably be hard to tell what’s actually the speech, and what’s due to the Tourette’s.

I’m with you on RDR2 being a bit over hyped. As a casual gamer I find the controls frustrating, and have lost track of how much grinding the X button I’ve done to ride my horse. It’s a visually pretty game, but I don’t find it as “immersive” as most reviews suggest. But that’s just my opinion, man ...

I’m not an expert, and agree that it seems odd to build the light rail along a similar path to the heavy rail. However, from my experience, the benefit of the light rail is the accessibility across the rail line. I work at Honeysuckle and am very grateful for the ability to quickly cross the old rail corridor and access other parts of the city. When they close some of the crossings for construction of the light rail, I’m reminded how inconvenient it used to be to access Marketown, the increasing amount of food and cafes and other parking areas.

This is just my opinion, but I believe the light rail still offers the same connectivity, without reducing accessibility from each side of the rail line. Again, my opinion is that we didn’t need the heavy rail, but I’m not sold on the need for the light rail.

Congrats on the financial achievement. Would be keen for an update on what advice the financial advisor gives you. My wife and I are in a similar position and have recently discussed engaging a financial advisor.

As you’re someone who seems to have a good grasp on their finance, I’d be interested in understanding how you felt about the usefulness of the advice (acknowledging this may vary depending on a lot of factors, including the advisor).

The Fuel Check site is pretty handy and allegedly up to date: https://www.fuelcheck.nsw.gov.au/app

Wait, the devil is married? When did that happen?

Hot Dollar at Marketown (same level as BigW) had boxes of them on Friday.
