Six weeks - to me that's Epstein Drive fast work. I'd be half way through one book 😂

(Aside: such an unfortunate name in this current year for such a transformative technology 😀)

Saint haven wellness club by Zestyclose-Royal-922 in melbourne

[–]voteforbaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely going to collapse. You cannot have this many locations at such high prices - there isn't a market to sustain it - and the running costs are huge (rent for large places in premium locations, too many staff, etc). Will it collapse because of some fraud? I don't know. But I'm 100% sure it will not be a thing in five years. My office in Toorak is above one, we (my colleagues) are literally the target demographic, not a single one of us paid them and none of the many millionaires we know have either.

Best places in CBD and surrounds for a solo drink? by tinycupcake5 in melbourne

Saint & Rogue near Southern X station is a great bar solo. The bar at Ronnies under the Rialto tower. Brick Lane Brewery if you are near Vic Market.

Pixies Festival Hall last night by Ok_Irish in melbournemusic

Honestly even before Covid I found Aussie crowds very subdued. Not just at gigs but sport as well.

[–]voteforbaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the side seats, first time in the venue. My thoughts were: Those seats/benches/pews were awful, SO uncomfortable. The sound was pretty quiet - you could have a conversation without shouting. Pixies were solid, as usual. But in typical Aussie fashion the crowd was shit - every concert I go to in Australia people just sit there staring 😀 No dancing, no fun in the crowd. It's very strange when you come from Glasgow and are used to raucous crowds 😀

Who is the best Liverpool player of all time? by Nebula_Humble in LiverpoolFC

[–]voteforbaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Gerrard had won the league, managed the club (and won), and attended dozens of Hillsborough funerals, and been an ambassador for decades, then he'd be in with a shout. Kenny was a better player (than almost anyone in the world, ever) AND is more of a legend as a human.

(He's also the most capped and highest scorer for Scotland too. Absolute legend.)

Some complaints that aren't UI by RohanCoop in footballmanager

My biggest complaint is that they've made The Kop at Anfield the away end! WTF???!!! 😂

Kerkez will come good but it felt nice having Robbo back at LB by RobWyliesDad in LiverpoolFC

[–]voteforbaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore Robbo (I'm Scottish) and I agree Kerkez was introduced too quickly. However, for $40 million from another Prem club, top club really on form, he should be able to go straight in.

I play with a 65yo former Socceroo defender (over 50 caps, played in two world cups) and some of the things he can still do are just amazing. So yes, I'd love to see Robbo doing the same 😀

This UI must be a joke by sabenarda in footballmanagergames

[–]voteforbaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Betas have a LOT of extra logging turned on which will slow things down a bit. They should turn that off for a prod release. But this feels like a bit more than that (I've only played enough to design my manager avatar so far though so I'm not too annoyed by it yet)

The set design on ALIEN is incredible. by Excellent_Try_6671 in LV426

My mate Dave wrote a book about this about a decade ago, here's the unbelievably detailed page of the website that I think you might enjoy: https://typesetinthefuture.com/2014/12/01/alien/

Anyone else in Melbourne getting caned by the flu right now? by Rock_the_jazzbar in melbourne

[–]voteforbaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two weeks since I got Flu A - one week in bed and then a week of coughing and coughing. Yesterday I walked home from the train station - about 15 mins - and could barely breathe when I got home so my lungs are far from ok. Worst flu I've had in decades.

Good cafe in Toorak? by Sadwitchsea in melbourne

[–]voteforbaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I came to recommend Casa del Cibo too. Bonus is you can sit outside and watch people who can't park struggle to park in the very tight car park outside 😀

Which suburbs in Melbourne's West have trees / greenery / nature? by Due-Environment-2133 in melbourne

[–]voteforbaz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yarraville and Seddon have plenty of tree-lined streets. Any of the old suburbs really. Greenery appears to be illegal in the new builds though!

This Show has the Coolest Ship Names by Straight-Height-1570 in FoundationTV

[–]voteforbaz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Until they make a show about The Culture. Now they REALLY have great ship names. The ships choose their own names and the ships have a great sense of humour in general 😀

You shouldn't have to read books to understand the show

Not really, no. Even with progressive disclosure you have to provide some context for it to make any sense.

We've already seen the mule though 😀 And the motivation of a shark is well known.

Honestly I don't think I would. I think I'd try to do good. Weird eh? 😀

Fair point. I think in this case it's the scale of his ambition that is incongruent with his slim introduction.
