🚨👀⛳️ #BREAKING — The LIV Golf league is moving to a 72 hole format for all events, effective immediately.

Infosec job. Wrote a report every day saying they need to spend money to fix a, b, c or they'll get hacked. Got ignored for 18 months, they got hacked. Fired me. Took all my daily reports to the tribunal and fucked them for an absolute fortune. Guess who the hacker was.

How much do VCs actually make? Everyone talks about getting into VC but few talk about the pay. Here’s the breakdown based on the latest VC avg comp data: Analyst • Base: $105K • Bonus: $12K Associate • Base: $133K • Bonus: $27K Senior Associate • Base: $166K • Bonus: $33K Principal • Base: $213K • Bonus: $39K Partner • Base: $311K • Bonus: $68K Operating Partner • Base: $221K • Bonus: $48K Platform • Base: $147K • Bonus: $11K But here’s what most people miss: → These numbers depend heavily on fund size. Smaller funds pay less in base/bonus, but sometimes more in carry. → Geography matters. Firms in SF/NYC tend to pay on the higher end of these ranges. → Fund performance is key. Carry (profit share from exits) can dwarf comp over time but only if the fund performs. Want to learn how VCs really get paid and how to negotiate?

@practicalgolf Yep! Played 36 yesterday. 14 over round one, 2 over round two.

Low to mid single-digit handicaps can often be the most tortured golfers. They can taste the mountaintop sometimes and shoot in the low to mid 70s. But then they’ll have rounds where they can struggle to break 90. Stuck in between two worlds.

@shooglydoogly @SkySportsGolf Faldo’s endless negativity towards Bryson is almost making me cheer for him. He’s even managed to find a way to continue talking about himself while slagging off every aspect of his game. They’ve got to get him of comms for tomorrow cos he’s spoiling it.

@SkySportsGolf Dear Sky Sports Golf. I know he won the Masters but Nick Faldo is a prick. Please drop Laura Davies too , she is pish. PS nobody knows what McGinlay saying.

@Lone_Ranger91 It’s getting embarrassing now. BD got every single thing he possibly could out of his game through dedication, and Faldo is tearing his entire game apart constantly. It’s disrespectful and also really boring.

Faldo hates DeChambeau doesn’t he 😅 any mistake Bryson makes Faldo jumps all over him #TheMasters

@TalkTV @TVKev @russellquirk April fools is tomorrow

🚨Three-year-old child expelled from nursery for “transphobia”—94 primary school kids punished for similar “offences.” “This is brainwashing. We will have a generation of liberal idiots!” @TVKev | @russellquirk

@kevindkillough This is great news for my golf game.

Global warming is now to blame for the failure of renewable energy, according to a study. The belief that we could power industrial nations with intermittent energy is not wrong. It's just those pesky witches, I mean global warming is stopping the wind from blowing.

@NUCLRGOLF Ben Hogan is overrated

🚨⛳️⚔️ #DISCUSSION — What’s an unpopular golf opinion that would have you like this?

@PGATUOR Can I volunteer next year?

Some cool news from Pebble: The volunteer that was struck by Shane Lowry’s tee shot is doing fine. Pebble Beach gave him a free weekend stay at their resort, and 3 free rounds of golf for him and 3 friends 👏💯

@NUCLRGOLF @goodgood_golf a range ball

@Johnnypete552 @mitxhsteven @NUCLRGOLF Yeah maybe you’re right

@bennyfitz7 @mitxhsteven @NUCLRGOLF What a crock of shit. Imagine putting Chambel on a pedestal of morality. He's been full of shit since day 1.

🚨🗣️⛳️ ‘SELF DELUSION’ — In an end of year reflection on the current state of the pro game, Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee sounds off on Jon Rahm and says other golfers who left the PGA TOUR may not be all that compelling: “This past year, after Jon Rahm’s defection to LIV in late 2023, the dominos were supposed to fall, forcing the hand of the PGA Tour, a deal between the two tours was presumed to be imminent. Now as a golfer, Rahm has many talents but none seem to exceed his gift for self-delusion...” “…The PGA Tour / LIV split has been a constant topic of debate and many point to the absence of the poached stars - DeChambeau, Koepka and Rahm - as the primary reason for the decline in TV ratings…. “This may be partly true, but if those players were really that compelling, the LIV finale, televised on CW and finishing in prime time on the east coast with Rahm winning, would have drawn more than the whopping audience of 89,000…” Do you agree with Brandel?

@mitxhsteven @NUCLRGOLF Nah he knows the subject better than most. He could have got a big pay day but decided to use his platform to promote what he felt was right. He’s still doing that at a time when others who initially raised similar concerns softened when it was good for them.

@bennyfitz7 @NUCLRGOLF Or ignorance

@mitxhsteven @NUCLRGOLF Courage of one’s convictions demonstrates integrity tbf

@NUCLRGOLF He is like the only one I hear still talking like this

@Canadave21 @shootermcgavin The greatest slam in sport

@shootermcgavin I was there , at that hole - Canadian Open at Glen Abbey. Crowd went v crazy when he put in on the green from there and went in to win getting the Triple Open Slam ; US, British, and Canadian Opens

The year is 2000. Tiger Woods ball is in the sand. 213 yards to the pin. Water in front of him. Tree blocking the hole. Grabs a 6 iron 🐐

@Weeton64 was she in the S-Max at the back?

NEW: Surveillance tech maker Sandvine announced it is leaving 56 "non-democratic" countries. Move comes after U.S. government put Sandvine on a blocklist for helping Egypt with mass censorship and surveillance. Company also sold to Belarus, Eritrea, etc. techcrunch.com/2024/09/20/int…

@Bjp968 @JoeSchembrie @skibidblackhole @groozyx @elonmusk if I get the results, will you take me for a walk?

@JoeSchembrie @skibidblackhole @groozyx @elonmusk No shit. I'm a results oriented person. I don't care if your half human half dog, if you get results then your hired.

Interesting observation

@FUDdaily Mostly peaceful

Do I take it from this, that this person isn't a fan?
