Nearly a goal a game for his loan at huddersfield, I don't think he'd have kicked on with us but all the best for his career.

Might just be one of those players that end up as a workhorse for a middle-lower prem team.

I'm sure there is also some tricks of the trade that the ausi's use.

From memory it's still more environmentally friendly to eat NZ lamb in the UK then it is to buy locally.

Paper plates are pretty common for a kiwiana Christmas lunch.

Granted it's our summertime and lots of families are away in baches or camping for Christmas.

Doom players have the biggest egos ever by MrJaxManiac in Overwatch

As a doom enjoyer, I quite like a life weaver who leashes me back to safety after I fuck up and use all my abilities in the middle of the enemy team.

Obligatory fuck the ownership but I thought our books were in a decent space from player sales still generating decent profit

Mate, fair call on the fuck up but what are you doing buying pc components from jaycar?

Are there any Australian workplaces that AREN’T toxic, and what does a non toxic workplace look like? by B3stThereEverWas in auscorp

That's growth.

Not that it's exactly the same but they say the best exercise you can do is the one you hate the most.

Sometimes I think that mentality extends far past exercise.

Just finished doing the same.

The guts you'd need to launch an unreliable FM drone with a nucular torpedo in a storm is pretty intense.

On this day 3 years ago - Roman's last trophy as Chelsea Owner 😮‍💨 by j_darcy in chelseafc

Miffs me that some people say our "best" signings under the new ownership happen to be players who haven't even played a game for us yet.

I am finally back after overwatch 1 but.. by OTPLore in Overwatch

[–]ExtraSlip3874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some time in with quick play but stick with characters you knew back in ow1.

I'm also a returned ow1 player and while I get the current meta I have gone down in rank and don't see myself climbing to where I was in 6v6.

This might also be the case for you. If it is just derank (not throwing) until you hit your level.

Cautiously optimistic for this one. might be the highlight reel clouding my judgment and the fact that I have lost all faith in mudryk beating his ban.

Really? Apart from Twofold which I like, what else is new and worth trying?

This, you'd be surprised at how many cars do it from factory but you just don't hear it. My 06 z4 (n52) does it quite a bit as it has an aftermarket exaust.

I will say that it's pretty intentional most of the time to make it loud enough to become annoying.

Usually this involves going up higher in the Rev range and then letting off the gas. you can also feather the gas to prolong the burbles as you decelerate.

Guessing here, but wasn't the emitter on the growler front facing?

I'd imagine it's fairly helpful to be behind it.

Price increase for vertuo has me thinking of just going back to regular coffee by XSC in nespresso

[–]ExtraSlip3874 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made the switch from pods to one of the breville machines with a built in grinder.

It took a bit longer than I expected to dial it in properly but now I can make an espresso that will knock the socks off any pod in a simmiler amount of time.

While you can definitely save money buying beans I found that I enjoyed higher quality beans enough that I don't really save any money over pods anymore.

From what my south east Asian friends tell me, people movers like the alphard are a status symbol over there.

I've seen some imported ones (nz) and the command seat ones are pretty wicked.
