  @karavas_alex @BrianJArbuckle 50k of intense support at Optus which configuration isn't too dissimilar to MCG. Freo kicked 100+ in the 2 games at the G. Doesn't phase them mentally. Sat was a rare shootout. A GF doesn't have that level of intense support - 100k v 50k doesn't make a diff.

  @ChinaSelect Australia has had two major telecommunications network failures. As a result of the Telstra failure, three people died, including a baby. One person died as a result of the Optus failure. No infrastructure should have any exposure to foreign adversaries.

  @MichaelRuyg yep, when they built the NBN fixed wireless tower, that carries optus and vodafone as well, it had a backup generator. then the tower got "upgraded" with 6 months of regular outages and then next power outage we discovered the backup generator and the ability to call 000 was gone

  @Sueberry2 @blu_boys @Optus Not full Telstra network, limited Telstra network access. Only Boost has full Telstra network access.

  @ozman024 Even during Ange's 2 seasons of Spurs I used a friend's Optus login.

  Had a look at umpiring in all Freo home @AFL games this year at Optus v interstate teams. Worst free kick count is minus 3 v Blues and Suns. Rd 9 v Hawks was 17-17. Hopefully this means we don't need to worry about the umpires but Suns got the 1st 3 frees last year. #foreverfreo

  @optus_help nah i dont have a problem YET..well the nets been ongoing for ages but ive been TO a 200km round trip optus shop and their only answer is? pay a huge amount for a NON portable chunky wifi setup. because your tower is ...maybe too close to my home ... to get decent service (facepalm)

  @opf_pk Australia switched off its 3G network in 2024 and Jazz IR roaming stopped working in Australia. Community raised it many times with Jazz, to always receive standard replies, to no avail. Please raise with Jazz to talk with Singtel/Optus to restore Jazz IR in Australia.

  Everyone leaves Cursor for refactors. They lose the 3x speed. One founder shipped $12k MRR in nine days using only Cursor + Grok 4.6. Daily Workflow starts inside the file. Open the file inside Cursor. Feed the exact three-line Prompt Patterns straight to inline Grok. Rewrite only the current sentence before moving on. Most still paste stack traces into ChatGPT and kill the flow. That alone eats 30% of refactor time. Grok 4.6 beats Claude Optus on large refactors because you never exit the codebase. Counterintuitive tip: stay sentence-by-sentence instead of dumping the whole function. What slowed your last refactor most?
