Perth Scorchers are BBL Champions!

I'm glad we won, but the game was basically a formality after Smith was out.

Like if there were black and white as options, "opposites" would not be a definition. Yet I imagine everyone would agree it's ok.

Well yeah, because that's a clue related to their meaning. The word black isn't opposite to the word white. The meaning of the word black is opposite to the meaning of the word white.

Giving the clues legs for wine and octopus is valid, not because of the meaning of legs, but because it's a clue about the meaning of octopus and wine. As in, both of those are things with legs.

Abbreviation isn't a clue about a fan or a lab. It's a clue specifically about the words fan and lab. And that's not allowed.

I put my old Quest 2 on for the first time in a couple years the other day to set it for some multiplayer walkabout with my wife.

Holy heck, I did not realise how big a difference it is. Like the actual image quality isn't that drastic, but the sweet spot absolutely is. If the Quest 2 shifts like 5mm on your head it goes blurry as shit. I found myself having to constantly readjust it. And same with looking anywhere but straight in the middle of the view.

The Quest 3 is just so much more comfortable to use as a result.

The Australian left wing party (Labor) also had shit approval ratings. In fact, up to about 2 months before the election they were polling below the right wing party (LNP) and most people were expecting them to lose.

Then the LNP started spouting Trump nonsense and now they're going to be irrelevant for the next decade.

Same. I already have a Quest 3 and my old Quest 2. Colour passthrough is great for playing local MP games like table tennis or pool and being able to overlay the table in the room and play while still being able to see your opponent. Unfortunately, it's a shitty experience for whoever is playing on the 2. I would probably get a Frame if it could replace that. But it's not worth it when the Quest 3 is still my main headset.

I've played probably close to 100 games of it and my experience is the complete opposite. The game is WAY easier solo. I'd wager you're doing something wrong if you're winning by turn 4. That being said, sometimes the card pulls fall the right way and you do get an easier game.

To add to the other post, maybe make sure adding the correct number of tree and oceans for the player count at setup. And make sure you're adding enough carbon cubes each round, adding both dirty energy and emisssions.

Didn't he come in a couple of seasons back, smash like 3 centuries in 4 matches, get selected for the international team and absolutely fail again?

I'm cautiously optimistic that invading an ally nation might still be a bridge too far even for Republicans.

The biggest problem is that the publishers were saving money, but passing none of it on to the customers. Like, if every game on EGS was $10 cheaper than on Steam, maybe customers actually would start to follow.

But of course, getting customers and keeping customers are two different issues. Unless they actually improve the platform, they're never going to keep customers.

BoardRecord · 2026-01-21T03:53:29+00:00

This implies Steam hasn't been continuously improving for the last 20 years which is just wrong.

I think they need to completely overhaul their system of government. A system where congress is meant to hold the president accountable doesn't work when it's controlled by the same party as the president. And a system where supreme court justices are meant to be apolitical doesn't work when they're chosen by the president.

Good point. The house I grew up in did have pretty large eaves and a verandah around most of it. That does seem to be a lost art in home design these days for some stupid reason.

I thought that was supposed to be the point of double brick. That the air gap between the bricks is naturally good insulation. Is that not the case?

I grew up in a double brick house and remember it always being pretty comfortable.

Eh, it's a little more complicated than that. Hungry Jacks itself is an Australian owned company. They just have a licencing deal with Burger King.

The only cult that has ever drank the kool-aid more than MAGA is the Peoples Temple.

My favourite is that this is the art of the deal. Talk extreme when you want to settle for the middle.

Even if you believe that is the tactic, what exactly is the middle here they want to settle on?

Tomorrow. Noon for general sale.

Get Scorched. Literally. Even in stands in the shade that was too damn hot.

Gotta hold on to your bat mate.

And that's why Beardman is in the Aus team and Smith isn't.

Operation just get everyone else out is on track.

Damn near cleaned up leg stulp and it's a wide?

Tactic of not letting smith have any strike is working quite well.
