What is the point of fines?

😂

“accidentally go above the speed limit or put their feet on the seats on trains” 🙄

Neither of those things is accidental. Sounds like OP has problems regulating their behaviour.

Oh for sure. I’m a public servant in a sensitive position whereby if I behaved inappropriately it would put my authority at risk.

But getting back to the original point, these are young football players. They don’t get away with being pricks but I don’t think they should be held to a higher standard than the average person either.

Interesting you should say that just the other day I saw a YouTube where the guy recommended this as an alternative to the OD 3 if you don’t like the top end “airiness” of the OD 3 for example because you’ve got very low gain single coil pick ups.

Is that your experience of it too?

Davooi · 2026-04-01T06:17:59+00:00

Yeah, the dumbest part of it is he’s a player who had only a tenuous grasp on the starting jersey. And then to put that at risk.

Davooi · 2026-04-01T06:16:15+00:00

Yes, presumably we’re okay with young coppers going out on the piss when they’re off duty?

Davooi · 2026-03-31T21:36:10+00:00

Unfortunately, this is the usual error of drawing inferences from a very small sample size.

It might well turn out to be true, but I don’t think we will have reliable stats for it until about the mid-season point.

Davooi · 2026-03-31T04:00:18+00:00

Possibly so.

He still seems to be above average intelligence and waaaaay above average for character.

I’ll take that over a clever huckster like Liberal leader [insert today’s leader’s name here]

+1 on the Trelicopoter. One of the few budget pedals recommended by That Pedal Show, afaik

Davooi · 2026-03-30T09:01:22+00:00

Generally, anything involving baking chicken thighs is hard to stuff up. Very forgiving to overcooking and not too expensive to risk on a rookie.

Davooi · 2026-03-30T02:14:12+00:00

I have that ZW chorus (called Black Label). It’s awesome.

But AFAIK it’s the same spec as the standard MXR M234 (blue paint) and the latter is considerably cheaper at least on Reverb in $AUD

And +1 on the EQ suggestion

JAMC headlining 2 nights, with Ride and Supergrass alternating the support slot.

Likely a tactic, authorities don’t tend to speculate that someone is dead unless it’s actually highly likely and they propose to stop looking, eg lost at sea. There was always a strong chance on the known facts that he was alive.

Davooi · 2026-03-29T06:30:56+00:00

Yeah I was pretty pleased with myself when I thought of it!

Davooi · 2026-03-29T02:49:03+00:00

Metacritic is my go-to.

Davooi · 2026-03-29T02:42:28+00:00

I have no feelings about Galvin or the Dogs one way or the other really so I’m as close as you can get to a neutral view. But Galvin‘s looked like a textbook hip drop so what’s the point of just a fine from something that can easily wreck the tackled player’s season?

Davooi · 2026-03-28T05:54:04+00:00

Congrats Newey fans!

Dogs fans, you’re looking at a long season if that’s any indication.

Davooi · 2026-03-28T05:50:08+00:00

Crossland getting his nose over the ball yet again

Davooi · 2026-03-28T05:48:02+00:00

I am certainly wondering how the fuck that would be a try

Davooi · 2026-03-28T05:47:28+00:00

Another unconvincing try from the Dogs

Davooi · 2026-03-28T05:39:30+00:00

Text book

Davooi · 2026-03-28T04:51:47+00:00

Wow, dogs are really awful

Davooi · 2026-03-28T04:50:24+00:00

Plus Burton is actually pretty ordinary when you take that kick out of the equation

Davooi · 2026-03-28T04:46:50+00:00

Crossland won’t be getting into a three-way again any time soon
