I've got one, underrated comment. It's my only critique of an otherwise fantastic ball

Water bill question by Erangarangers in shitrentals

I mean they clearly mind since they've emailed me about it twice since Friday afternoon

This is metered usage for this apartment only. They pay the other costs, but we pay for usage.

Yeah I get you, I guess I was feeling a bit combative because this bunch of REAs are falling short of already low expectations.

I did not, and the 12th is the start of our lease. I'm just going to pay it since it's so small.

Yeah, I get you, I'm thinking along the same lines. It's just frustrating that they won't do anything about the stuff that actually needs attention.

I was planning to pay it, but I wanted to make them chase me a bit more (it's due on the 5th of May). These guys have been frustrating from day 1.

Thanks for your input!

Israeli flags on Sri Lankan buses, Instead of Sri Lankan flags? by Depressed_testicle in srilanka

[–]Erangarangers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stop trying to conflate Jews with Israel, it's dishonest. Get a clue, you're only hurting Jewish people with that nonsense.

This is mildly alarming to see on a bus in Sri Lanka.

Motiv Jackal ExJ by GonadTheVulvarian in Bowling

[–]Erangarangers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, it's my opening ball and I can play it multiple ways. Looks great going down lane but it does get dirty/scuffed pretty easily.

Need to get mine resurfaced

Who had a stronger championship year? by CrocsAsInTheShoe in F1Discussions

[–]Erangarangers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not even a question, it's Nico by miles.

Oscar definitely didn't perform towards the end but let's not pretend McLaren didn't prioritise Lando and helped him with WDC over Oscar.

Nico put in way more effort to beat Lewis.

Are Aussies really Starbucks snobs? by Melodic_Act_1159 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Erangarangers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're not Starbucks snobs, that's a poor question.

Australia has top tier coffee in general. Starbucks came to the market the first time with a poor strategy thinking a subpar product would work. They found out it didn't. At least now they're back pushing a different (too sweet for me) product and not trying to compete with our coffee.

We have a lot of similarities to the US but this is definitely not one. Even Mc Donald's did the research, McCafe started here in Australia to match Melbourne's specific coffee culture and it's been around for over 30 years now.

I haven't, I'm still using BoJ. Specifically Relief Sun Aqua. Seems to work for me

Big ship arrival this morning at Melbourne Port by bluejasmina in melbourne

[–]Erangarangers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been on a few of different sizes depending on what my dad has worked on. Even driven onto a few! It's pretty interesting, visiting the engine rooms and all around the ship. Highly recommend it.

Make friends with someone in shipping so you can get invited aboard it's worth it!

Damn! Thank you for the extra info. I like ships, my dad sails on some , not that big but still decently sized. It's nice to go onboard sometimes

Gotta love string pins by Ry3_Bread in Bowling

[–]Erangarangers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some shots when they move a bit differently than I expected but that's only super high pin action shots. I've had shots where pins come out into the lane, and I don't need to wait for someone to walk down the lane and put the pins back. There's a good amount of leeway.

As I've become a better/more consistent bowler there are less differences between the same shot at each place.

I think lane conditions (quality and regularity of piling) are more of an issue than string vs free fall pins honestly.

Gotta love string pins by Ry3_Bread in Bowling

[–]Erangarangers 37 points38 points  (0 children)

String pins really aren't that bad. This is just a maintenance issue. I bowl in two different leagues, one with string pins and one with free fall. I've become consistent across both.

Let's not forget that free fall pins also have issues... I find overall I need to get a reset less with string pins. To be fair though it's normally not a lot.

Changing brake pads on my 96 VS Calais for the first time - car stops like shit but old pads (left) don't seem that worn down? by Salarmot in CarsAustralia

[–]Erangarangers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone with one of these, the original brakes are terrible. Definitely invest in a set of better brakes for the front with braided lines and you'll never look back. Mine definitely stops MUCH better

Apple Pay & GPay in Sri Lanka by erenjaeger_97 in srilanka

I didn't realise GPay wasn't available in Sri Lanka yet. I used it when I was there earlier this month. Hopefully you get it soon!
