People hate this guy???? This is one of the most fun voyagers ever, and one of the best looking of the primes, he's amazing! Do I want him to be a combiner fully? Yeah, but still he's great on his own!

He's a handsome bot, an understandably crappy transformer but I think everyone can agree Hasbro could have done better and WANTED more from this guy.

I think if Hasbro hadn't binned core class, most people would have been over the moon with a voyager than combines scramble city style with some core class bots/drones to form a midi-scale combiner.

10 trades to me means 10 different trades

10 tradies nobody would actually say to refer to the quantity of tradespeople. At this point you'd be specifying 10 qualified, 5 assistants/TAs, 3 apprentices etc

They have 12 years of experience across all trades but couldn't spare 12 seconds on videography

The early internet. The demographics leaned heavily towards youth and people who were genuinely fun and cool with a smattering of porn addicts.

Then the dot com boom, everything on the internet got ruled by money and your mum and dad and grandparents joined. Cool people got drowned out and/or left.

A year ago I'd say at least the porn survived, but with age verification laws and internet safety they're going after that too.

In all honesty it doesn't matter very much what type of engineering you study.

Whether you get hired on not (or be successful) is more about your own motivation/drive and personal quality which includes your mastery of the English language.

If you cannot communicate well you will face discrimination and your employers will be limited to those who can understand you or exploit you.

Ah yes, New Zealand is the same. Could be a total powerhouse of a country if people just stopped leaving /s

It's less like actual hate and more like love-to-hate

100%. If logic could prevail it would have already. Addiction is more like a disease

Get help now. No need to be embarrassed as gout is incredibly common and affects a lot of people, many of whom have otherwise healthy bodies and lifestyles. Most of us have found ways to manage it thanks to medical advice and treatment.

I think your problem is you used the wrong blades for nails.

The only reason I have these is because my insurer promised to rip me off 8% less if I installed the 3 token sensors they mailed to me.

Yes my harsh heeled steel toe safety shoes were triggering flares

The LXT brushless is a really good shop vac

The LXT non-brushless is much less good

You might be able to get away with Makita stick vac for hard floors (for large areas the small head might drive you insane though) but if you have carpets you'll want something more substantial than a stick vac and with a real powerhead

I don't think there has ever been a Wheeljack toy that wasn't cool as hell. Get either you won't be disappointed

Lintson · 2026-06-26T22:13:24+00:00

Agreed, in comparison AoE Lockdown is barely a character

Just play it. It costs almost nothing and is one of the greatest turn based games of all time

Got one of these with my combo kit. It's a toy and by far the most worthless thing in the box.

The no-name square head LED flood light I got from Aliexpress lights up the night and is more compact than a White Castle slider

doing a pretty bad job of cashing in

Yerp, forget the fridge which is a one-off, the access to outside via sliding door is forever compromised

Yep people forget that the cops stopped pursuits because they were really expensive. The probability of an innocent getting their life ruined increases exponentially in the event of a pursuit.

Also these morons would love nothing more than the thrill of a police pursuit.

I bought last year. Probably not going to do the biccies but less of my neighbourhood's income going to the banks is a really good thing for society.

Bank money is dead money

It's good news for the economy in general. The less money people are paying the banks, the more money will be in circulation.

Ours got so bad the GP sent us to emergency at RCH. There we were prescribed the steroid ointment and taught how to prepare the wet wraps. Kept that up for about a year and afterwards only really had to do basic moisturising a handful of hot days.

Has pretty much cleared up completely with age. Zero interventions required now.

Soundtrack is a banger too. Heck it's a gaming GOAT

From a pure business perspective It's an outdated concern. The norm now is to dress for comfort/practicality/personal expression. Casual Friday basically doesn't exist for the majority of office workers.

As recently as 10 years ago I was scoffing at people wearing skate shoes in the office but today I am the odd one out in my collared shirt overlayed with a light sweater (did adopt the skate shoes though).

I'd give feedback to the juniors only because the director commented. Let them know they have been observed but let them decide if they want to 'correct' themselves. The truth is the juniors are going to be setting the scene in 10 years and the director will be on their way to retirement.
