    Curious what others thoughts are on Warren Buffett holding hundreds of billions in cash. I'm not an investor and have zero knowledge in the area but see a lot of people with differing views.

    I really bought into the whole "life will be boring if I can't drink with friends." After something like 6 to 8 months without drinking, I feel the complete opposite. Sitting around drinking is boring as F*ck. Congrats on the milestone!

    Had tunnel safety training last week. If we ever need to use our rescue breathing apparatus, at least we will look good. Dominating the girl at bowling and games.

    When I quit sugar, vegetables starting tasting sweet sometimes. The best thing I ever did for my health was going strict keto for 6 months, aiming for only 20 grams of carbs. Not even using chewing gum. I don't do it anymore and probably won't again (I like a latte or 2 daily and things like...

    My sister died at 31 from leukaemia about 10 years ago. She was eating unhealthy food for a long time, but we weren't raised with junk food so I don't know where it came from. We had some very close family members (Aunts and cousins that lived in the same small town as her her whole life) that...

    Computer screen repair man here. I would strongly advise against that. Let me be clear. Daredevil's advice is NOT to be trusted. :thumbsdown:

    Rant... To anyone who starts a statement with: "Let's be clear..." "Just to be clear..." "As an xxxx, I can confidently say..." You get a double eye roll. It's tired.

    Recently I chuckled at the thought of Dave Ramsey talking to US Congress about their debt problem. Because they're a little bit emotional, the snowball method may be a better tactic than the avalanche method...

    I'm not Vegan but I still cannot believe that chicken battery cages are not completely banned by now. I know they are being slowly phased out, but it's still over another decade or two. It actually blows my mind that it's still allowed.

    eScooters are everywhere, what can be done next?

    I haven't looked in about a year, but in Brisbane, for shortish inner city trips, it's pretty much the same price as an uber. I can't really understand why anyone would choose to rent one.

    The clickbait always happening in the UFO space is becoming tiresome. Stay tuned for next week! Big news coming! It happens so much that everyone forgets about this tease and has already moved on to the next big tease. Meh.

    This was also the reason I was given for the bad customer service I sometimes experienced when I lived in Hanoi. Since the war, money today is always the goal, not repeat customers. I don't know how true that is though.

    Noosa and Coolum is amazing. Although winter in Noosa I was still waking up to 6 degrees Celcius. I haven't been but heard Cairns was amazing in winter.

    Ha, the white bull arab I showed above would stop and refuse to walk pretty often. I was told that if I walk up to him and whisper in his ear his name and call him a good boy he will start walking again. I thought it was a joke, but I shit you not, this worked every time. Pretty sure we were...

    Ahhh man when I'm not away so much for work and can start having a dog again, I want to work my skill level up to being able to one day have a Belgian mallinois. I'm addicted to the modern mallinois YouTube channel. Amazing dogs. A housemate of mine had 2 bull arab rescue dogs that I was an...

    I'm not sure why this is the case in Jakarta, maybe because the majority of tourists are Asian and it's actually a massive city that has a tonne of international corporate offices here. Although there is a lot of poverty still, there is also a lot of wealthy Indonesian people here.

    My Uncle and his wife have been retired a few years now, but they bought a small property and some animals that need a bit of work to maintain. Although it's not much, it keeps them engaged and they love it. My Grandfather retired from his accounting firm he founded. Didn't even last a year...

    They won't play Golf or go to a driving range? :rofl: Go fishing, shooting, or some kind of hobby. I actually don't really see the guys anymore that just want to sit at a pub like a bar fly and do nothing else, but that was well before I quit drinking. Maybe not a bad idea to reach out to your...
