OzBargain posters never disappoint
After The Events of Today, Can Mods Start Banning People Who Bring Israel/Palestine Crap into Discussions about Bargains? Phil Toinby on 14/12/2025 - 21:01 There's no need to discuss overseas wars of religious conflict in a bloody thread about an outdoor storage box https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/937552 especially after today. You don't want to buy something based off where it is made as the countries morals do not match yours, take your virtue signalling elsewhere. Same should go for USA, China, India, Burkina Faso, Mars who cares, I want to know if something is a bargain, if the product is decent and if the seller is reputable, not your geopolitical opinions.

Make this a symlink, use Tautulli to monitor what movie has just started playing and update the target to the appropriate voiceover?

interesting history! pestakeholder.org/reports/kkr-...
KKR is one of the largest private equity firms in the world, with nearly $700 billion in assets under management as of June 2025. While the firm does not currently publish employee data, KKR reported having 828,000 employees across its portfolio as of December 2023. Headquartered in New York City, the firm invests across a range of industries. The firm has its roots in some of the firstever private equity buyouts; founders Jerome Kohlberg Jr., Henry Kravis, and George Roberts carried out some of the first leveraged buyouts while working together at Bear Stearns in the 1960s. In 1976, the trio founded KKR, crystallizing the LBO form. The firm gained notoriety for its $25 billion acquisition of RJR Nabisco in 1988, at the time the largest leveraged buyout in history, inspiring the book and movie Barbarians at the Gate. The poorly managed buyout resulted in a $730 million loss for the KKR fund, and the company was forced to split its food and tobacco businesses just over a decade after the acquisition. Over several years, the company eliminated 6,000 jobs. Despite this, KKR and company executives made millions in profit from the deal. On the heels of recording the loss in 2004, KKR made another investment in 2005 that would ultimately destroy another company. Toys “R” Us collapsed under more than $5 billion in debt piled on by KKR alongside private equity firm Bain Capital and real estate firm Vornado following their leveraged buyout of the retailer. When the company filed for bankruptcy in September 2017, it was spending about $400 million a year to service the debt. While 33,000 employees lost their jobs and limited partners in KKR and Bain Capital’s funds were wiped out, KKR and other investors appear to have profited from $464 million in fees and interest they collected from Toys “R” Us during the period they owned the company. After former employees and advocates launched a campaign to receive severance pay, KKR and Bain Capital eventually agreed to create a $20 m…

never ever ever tell an Australian crowd what it is that will set you off (Melbourne, Friday and Brisbane, today)
@garbage I make NO APOLOGIES whatsoever for getting annoyed at beachballs at shows. I joined a band because I HATED THE FUCKING BEACH. I joined a band because I wanted to listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Cure and be dark and beautiful. Continue listening to Spotify and toss your stupid beach balls around like you are ten years old. I love the musical community and I want to respect their artistry. I am so tired of folks taking music for free and treating us all like circus performers. at least nine beach balls in the audience during Garbage's Brisbane Good Things festival set
