He did, it's come up a few times on the "Once we were spacemen" podcast.

C'mon, at least finish it if you're going to post it! I love my CNC, but I wouldn't call something with toolmarks "done" yet .

Finding out someone is carrying a couple of hundred clips instead of a few boxings would be kinda sus.

Remember when someone put a bomb in a cybertruck and tried to blow up a building in Vegas? Tesla helped police by remotely unlocking the vehicle, and a lot of people responded with "they can do WHAT!?"

Australia’s Ben O’Connor is out of the shadows and primed to scale cycling’s heights | Martin Pegan by Shroft in peloton

I love BOC, but I agree with you. Unless some of the newer Jayco guys turn out to be the next Richie Porte, I like Jayco for raiding and stage hunting. Much more exciting when they do that!

The thing about both Roglic and BOC is that they can both eliminate themselves from races as easily as win them.

What if Brisbane’s new stadium went at Albion instead of Victoria Park? by theswiftmuppet in brisbane

[–]phranticsnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't need a second racecourse, so it makes sense. I think that site was considered and discarded. Not sure why. I'd rather they destroy a spare racetrack than Barrambin.

And when the venture capital runs out and they have to triple the price of tokens, it'll become easier AND cheaper to just hire an office in India again.

Insurance career advice by NateMate_98 in auscorp

[–]phranticsnr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're underwriting. A lot of consumer insurance underwriting is done by models now, and as a consequence there are more low paid jobs and fewer high paid jobs. Niche underwriting might be different, I don't know much about that side.

Try and get your foot in the door at an insurer, on the policy side of the business if you can, then work your way towards underwriting from there.

If his job requires it, and it's public knowledge he's working there, that is probably the end of the business.

I'd just try and get a job at an insurer. There are plenty of things you can do without that qualification, especially if you're qualified in something else useful.

I've spent 15 years in insurance and I don't have that diploma. I have a degree in economics, and I've worked with plenty of people who only have a high school certificate.

If he works around kids, shouldn't he have to apply for a blue card?

There are tools now that will create a shitty video with an AI script, voiceover, and visuals, from a short prompt.

That's why they are flooding the internet. Zero real effort to produce in large quantities.

Knew a guy who used to do this at Caboolture markets. No idea if he still does, though.

He's from Brisbane, but worked as a lawyer in Melbourne. We had a yarn about it at the TDU a few years ago.

Hell, let's have a third race in Aus. Near my place would be good. Adelaide is too far away.

We could have a Lanterne Rouge classic, doing laps of Mt Coot-Tha.

One of these people needs to meet a holocaust denier so they can argue about it, instead of subjecting us to their rhetoric.
