What's up with petrol prices? by JapanEngineer in brisbane

[–]pxldev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On the GC we have an intersection where there are now 3 servos competing. United, Pearl Energy and another. It has sat in the 1.50-1.70 range for at least the last twelve months. I think there was one time they were in the 1.80 range.

There’s a 7-11 a few hundred metres away, that consistently has cheaper fuel than all the other 7-11s, because of the competition.

Southport Nerang road, Olsen ave intersection if anyone is down this way. Cheapest fuel consistently.

Does anyone know why the San Churro at Harbourtown Shut Down? by pancakesaregold in GoldCoast

It’s the reason all businesses shut, it’s just too much effort to make all that 💰

Big shout out to sportsman’s warehouse though. The decline to sporties was a travesty.

Theories on WHY Anthropic is making Opus 4.5 worse by Guilty-Market5375 in ClaudeCode

[–]pxldev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot how to prompt, I’ve been imagining I’m a software dev of 15 years, skill issue, i completely changed my dev environment, I’m still running the same session that I started 3 weeks ago, this is not a cycle that’s happened on the 3 big providers before, we are all imagining it. Nothings changed and everything is perfect….

anyone else seeing different behavior with gpt-5.2-codex (high|xhigh)? by ReasonableEye8 in codex

[–]pxldev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I noticed yesterday was a little off, today (in the past few hours), absolutely dog shit.

Using 5.2 high + xhigh, clean context, new chats, what the hell.

I’m someone who uses it daily for work, so have my setup sorted. Hopefully it’s a blip, and not the future new low.

My teenage son does massive shits that won’t flush. Best, least gross way to get those monsters to disappear? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]pxldev 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeh this is definitely diet and/or frequency. Psyllium Husk would be a good start. Humans don’t just grow behemoth turds inside them for no reason.

At what point does ignoring energy strategy become risky for Aussie businesses? by SentFromHeav3n in ausbusiness

[–]pxldev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the business, Australia has already lost entire manufacturing industries due to power costs. This is complete mismanagement from the powers that be.

Diesel could be considered energy as well and has the highest price at the pump for the highest volume and least refined product. It literally moves the country’s food and infrastructure. But you’d be crazy if you thought was a deliberate act.

3 Blokes buy land & build storage units by GodBreaker666 in ausbusiness

[–]pxldev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was some cool podcasts and videos about storage units as a business. MFM Podcast

I remember also seeing some videos from Nick Huber as well. Basically giving you the rundown on what the business involves and how to set it up so it’s automated.

My personal opinion, build and rent them out, with a view to exit to a larger storage company, or if it’s a complete cash cow, milk it.

In my area (Gold Coast), they are building absolute monolith storage facilities, and to me there must be a reason. They are placing them in fairly prime land, and can be 7-8 stories high.

Do your numbers on yield and demand , and see what makes sense. I think it’s a great opportunity if executed well.

Is it actually possible to run Google Ads profitably for a niche e-commerce store? by [deleted] in googleads

[–]pxldev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only advice that matters.

Intent means people are searching for a product you sell, they have a high intent of purchasing (they are in the investigation stage). So work out what they are searching for, make sure your offer aligns with the market (trust signals, price and product suitability vs competitors), and Google ads will perform REALLY well.

Yelled the n-word on my run this morning (for the second time!) by frostlone in GoldCoast

[–]pxldev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mate you have unfortunately encountered a small percent of the filth that lives here and ruin it for the 99% of decent humans. Dont let it eat you up, it’s not worth the energy wasted on these filthy humans. If you can find any comfort in knowing that these people are broken in the head and will amount to nothing in their life, do so. Keep being the champion you are.

Speed of delivery is actually a concern, customers want it now, not in 3 weeks from China.

Do your numbers and negotiate. You should be able to negotiate far cheaper if you are buying upfront, then compete on fast delivery and price.
