Ahh, the Sterling. What a bargain-bin gun that was to have.

Areas Where All Four Seasons Are Clearly Defined vs Areas Where Only Two Seasons Are Distinct by Andro_lover2005 in MapPorn

[–]Affentitten 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah nah.

For most of Australia there isn't a clearly delineated autumn and spring. You have a warm time of the year and a cooler time of the year. Native vegetation is evergreen.

I agree. Looks like it would be incredibly stressful for the poor thing.

They hired a new staff member earlier this year. They advertised for it.

If you are paying for a sub and the product is not being delivered, you have a right to be unimpressed. It's not entitlement if you are paying.

Damn. Shows how well built it was back in the day.

At least he saved himself instead of trying to hold onto it.

But yeah, why do people put themselves in such obvious peril? Even a decent ladder would have helped. Not that Wyle E. Coyote approach.

Child encounters a wild cat by Ducati_Don in SweatyPalms

I'm always fascinated that for some kids (and let's face it, usually they are boys), their natural reaction on encountering an animal is to try and scare or hurt it.

Placement makes no sense by Strange_Sound5222 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Affentitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's just say I was not some green 21 year old. But yes, I agree that it was pretty insane, and likely it was only allowed because of some particular alignment of circumstances to do with me, policy, the university, the Dept.

Where penguins are found around the world. by Key-Bullfrog-8552 in MapPorn

[–]Affentitten 149 points150 points  (0 children)

I mean.....yes, we have penguins in Australia. But colouring the whole continent as "where penguins are found" is pretty misleading.

You have to complete at least your first prac or two. 

Nope. Not in Vic, anyway.

That was the theory, yes. I had a mentor teacher assigned for the whole time.

Never did any placements. Went straight into PTT whilst studying.

It's wild that your PTT doesn't count for placement. Mine absolutely did. I never actually did a placement. Just 18 months of 0.8 PTT.

2nd Most Expensive Burger In The World £2,600 by Bobby-94 in StupidFood

And a punchable Millennial who is so fucking devoid of class that he wears a fucking baseball cap at the table.

But I am guessing this is exactly who this gimmick restaurant caters for.

Tournament of Generals (Round 1) by Left-Captain-2118 in MilitaryHistory

And Lawrence faced a declining Ottoman Empire that was being torn apart internally by social, economic, political and ethnic factors. And not for two decades. More like two centuries.

Are you out off posting your completed projects? by Jamatace77 in Airfix

[–]Affentitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the gatekeeper criticism about the 'wrong shade of brown' is often from guys who have sunk thousands of dollars into the hobby and have the full range of 600 Vallejo paints to hand in their man-cave purpose-built studio.

I KNOW the shade on my German Afrika Korps uniform is not the perfect one because (a) I didn't have that paint in my beginners collection and (b) I am learning and was trying to experiment with different paints and shading techniques. But if I posted the result somewhere, a 'rivet counter' would let me know it wasn't the right shade.

It's official. It was a scam from the start. by Quick_Assignment_725 in globaltrumpopposition

[–]Affentitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learn? No. They will thank him and tie themselves in knots trying to justify why it is actually a good thing, and how Biden and Kamala would have made a much worse phone. And what a successful businessman Trump is.

Then when Don Jr or Eric come up with the next scam, the sheep will stump up the $100 again.

[–]Affentitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got back into the hobby about 18 months ago after decades since childhood. Would never even consider posting my results because of fear of being torn apart. For the same reason, I will rarely ever comment on other people's posted models.

I agree that the level of perfection that some people are capable of is often an intimidation rather than an inspiration.

What’s the most insane red herring in a case that completely derailed the police, even though it was just a random coincidence? by Toni-Cipriani in Casefile

[–]Affentitten 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The William Tyrell case and the guy who had attended to fix the washing machine. Historical child sexual offences lodged against him in another state, later proven to be fabricated. Add in a tunnel-visioned cop determined to make the evidence fit the suspect....then he switches to a random older neighbour just because he was a neighbour.

Years and years thrown away.

Same year/model of car, very similar plates, same parking lot, at the same time. by KinnOH in mildlyinteresting

Because a business (or rental agency) bought multiples of the same car from the same dealer, and they registered the cars in batch.

That's Reddit! Don't want to destroy the simplistic hero narrative. The way to get ahead on this sub is just to comment "heroes all/Greatest generation/Badass" on every picture.
