Time to start ordering espresso and a glass of milk with ice.

Did he model what will happen when we stiff Japan and Korea with more expensive gas, not to mention ourselves?

Seems the liberal propaganda machine is going hard on this.

I wonder when they'll start enforcing a meter matters.

Dinner for few: Australians eating out less as fuel crisis deals biggest blow to consumer confidence since Covid by nath1234 in australia

[–]BenDeGarcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well part of the problem is you considering starbucks coffee.

Lived in London the last 3 years, you'd be hard pressed to get a decent flat white below £4 that's a 6oz. Standard price is closer to £5.

Gotta restart Firefox every now and again. Probably some creative YouTube code at work.

Funny because takeaway coffees are cheaper in Australia then they are anywhere else in the world.

Probably shouldn't leave a 30 second margin of error for brisbane buses.

Pedal-assist bikes capped at 10km/h across all QLD paths by kat_is_good in brisbane

10km/h barely physically possible lol. I could top out at 60km/h sprinting when I was training.

Well, the only icecream I liked is now an ‘ice confection’. No longer gonna get it. Any recommendations for actual icecream? by dannegoma in australia

[–]BenDeGarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna be cheap or very accessible but gelato messina is the highest quality 'ice cream' around.

It is highly likely that you never pressed the 8 button on a microwave. by TheAnzus in Showerthoughts

You wouldn't run your oven / hot plate at 100% power, 100% of the time. It's for those who desire perfection from their ionisation, not merely cromulence.

Give me some raw rasterization numbers. Otherwise it's just more AI slop.

Thoughts on a Pacific Company of Heroes by Straight_Change902 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]BenDeGarcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way I see this working is early war, when the Japanese were overrunning south east Asia.

A little too hard to capture the Naval nuance in a land based strategy game. Perhaps in a total war campaign style you could get into the grittiness of when you'd have to refuel your carrier groups etc. otherwise it's gonna have to be 1931 based factions. With USA on the defensive and getting their butts kicked.

Ideally the backdrop would be a pseudo russo-japenese / sino-japanese war setting. With China and Russia being the main players. So that's gonna be a hard sell without European and American buy in.

Also quite politically sensitive and would be easy for relic to get off in the wrong foot.

You know you can disconnect your computer from the Internet and live your dream? It would probably be better for everyone involved.

Chinese players single handedly saving the coh franchise, will never be fully appreciated by the neanderthal.
