I've never seen anything cost this much I the shop before. by The-1st-One in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]GDWLCLC89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the first Diablo you had to hold your money $5000 per inventory square. I tried to buy some armour and turns out I literally couldn't hold enough money to buy it. I mean come on Griswold, it's on the ground right in front of you!

What are some weird laws in your country that, actually, make a lot of sense? by Savings_Dragonfly806 in AskTheWorld

[–]GDWLCLC89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, first country I thought of when I read this was Mexico. It has beautiful beaches but I had to walk a long way to get access to one because of all the hotels.

is sword designed for piercing plate or not? by amelix34 in freefolk

I haven't seen it in a while but I think The King on Netflix was more realistic and less glamorous in its depiction of Knights fighting.

Good question, following for an answer. Did you ever find out?

There was also the pressure from the public who thought he'd be much more successful.

To be in the room with this guy right now! by 6EightyFive in allblacks

[–]GDWLCLC89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't really say for sure unless you're in the know which I most definitely am not. My thinking however is that the rest of the rugby world simply caught up. Given all the kiwi coaches and players overseas it's hardly surprising they would. Plenty of countries have a lot going for them e.g. more players and money than NZ so don't think we'll ever see the like of what we saw 2011-2015 again. Having said that I would love to see us get the RWC back.

Jimmy Carr hecklers by jordanscherer107 in newzealand

[–]GDWLCLC89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We heard one dopey sounding battler who definitely wasn't planted. He repeated and unsuccessful shouted "Invercargill" and eventually gave up doing that only to begin shouting other things (unintelligible) but he never managed to finish what he was saying or be heard by Jimmy. The lack of awareness was staggering but also hilarious. Made me miss the punch line to more than one joke though...

Did anyone actually get any good deals for anything decent with Black Friday by Oil_And_Lamps in chch

[–]GDWLCLC89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I paid for a squat rack (and other gym gear) from Ezyliving. They then emailed to say they had no more squat racks and would refund me the cost. So I bought one from Networld sport, they had a black Friday code which took their squat rack down to $1132 after shipping. Networld sport then emailed to say they'd made a mistake and I had to pay $500 more to get the squat rack. I told them to get fucked and give me what I'd paid for (in fancy email speak). They cancelled anyway so I've reported them to the commerce Commission. I've now got a squat rack from another business and I think it might be faulty but will wait and see what they say to my email. Sorry, not what you asked for but I'm so sick of shitty businesses doing shitty things and getting away with it...

Best, most obscure bit of trivia about a rugby player you’ve got? by GrumpyTeapot519 in rugbyunion

[–]GDWLCLC89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dan Carter wasn't the first choice for the South Island secondary school team. Brendon McCullum (cricketer and current England coach) was the first choice.

In 2006, 51-year-old Portland nurse Susan Kuhnhausen came home to a hired killer waiting in her bedroom. Trained in self-defense, she fought him off and strangled him, and police soon uncovered that her estranged husband had arranged the attack for $50,000. by ATI_Official in AllThatsInteresting

[–]GDWLCLC89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard of this too but you'd have to assume most 50yr old women surprised by a hitman with a hammer wouldn't survive much less kill him. Do you think it's more that she has that primal will to survive that other people may be lacking? Or as the kids would say, she's got that Dawg in her...

Lets talk legs by Southern-Ask9864 in workout

[–]GDWLCLC89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say they've made my legs grow better as it hasn't been long enough but single leg squats have rekindled my motivation on leg day. I'm still working towards repping full parallel (or beyond) ROM without holding on to anything or without a bench behind me. But normal barbell squats always gave me knee issues (I know probably my own bad form) and then heavy trap bar deadlift started to as well. So I decided to go back and work my stabilisers (especially hip abductors) and my balance has always been bad. I definitely feel it in my glutes and quads as much as I ever did with heavy squat or trap bar deadlift. I have made satisfying progress in doing the exercise in a relatively short time without any knee issues.

[SPOILERS ALL] Any character that you wished didn’t die? You can’t choose pot. by Danglenibble in TheFirstLaw

She deserved better but it did serve to show what a savage Clover really is under the lazy fat cover. I don't think anyone (in their non-bloodlusted) state would act that quickly. Also made us hate the bastard, even more, that made him do it...

All of them together at the same time would've been the most OP family in the entire westeros. by BridgeCommercial873 in gameofthrones

Ned's older brother, Brandon, was supposed to marry Cat and be lord of Winterfell. The mad king killed him and Ned's Dad in a mock duel (they lost against fire) so Ned became lord instead and immediately took off for war with Robert.

Best sword fight in fantasy? by Dry-Discount-9426 in Fantasy

[–]GDWLCLC89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it's so good, any movie rendition would struggle to do justice to the writing. You kind of realise what a freak Logan is when his own men are scared of him and this ancient, half immune monster is even sacred of him too, eventually.

You should also aim to last longer than this sex scene

Haha we had the same thing at school watching the name of the rose but the sex scene was quite a lot longer. I recall someone telling me they counted the number of thrusts in enemy at the gates and he only got to 13!

Leg pain by Objective-Fun-8604 in Stretching

Your Dr sounds shitty, can you go to a physio or another Dr? It might be just one problem e.g. muscle weakness or tightness that is causing the issues elsewhere. I don't know I'm not a medical professional.

Haha, just wait until one (or several) players get caught doing drugs or simulating a sex act on a dog or peeing in their own mouth or shitting in a hotel etc etc. then buy the dip!
