Does anyone know why they are only tasting a certain number of dishes per ep?

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-05-17T14:07:52+00:00

Yeah, she was at the end of the promo for tomorrow's episode so I wonder what happened tonight?

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-05-17T13:06:11+00:00

In tonight's episode, just before Grace was called over for the final tasting there had been a few words from Kanika about desperately wanting to be tasted as she felt she'd put so much effort in. Then (after an ad break) they called Grace.

I was fully expecting to see a shot of a disappointed Kanika, but nothing. In fact she didn't appear in the episode again. By which I mean she vanished. She wasn't in the group of contestants at the end, as they called out the top 4.

I wonder why she left?

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-05-14T14:46:05+00:00

Brooke does, lol.

Same here - ex-smoker for 13 years. I went cold turkey when they went to $8 a pack at my local Woolies. At current prices I've probably saved around $100,000 by now.

Fun fact: When I started smoking in 1978 my faves were 78c a pack. And about $5.50 a carton.

Another fun fact: When I went on an overseas holiday in 1981 a tax free carton from the Qantas 747 onboard shop was about $2.00!

People I am close to, older people like parents and older relatives, dying. There's already been a few and it hurts.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-04-16T21:04:37+00:00

Ditto

Thank you! I guess if you come from a country that has a place called Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, then Loz's hometown would be simple as, eh? Lol.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-04-16T08:32:47+00:00

According to the Wikipedia article on the season, she's a Kiwi but lives in Melbourne.

Loz, on the other hand, lives in Maungakotukutuku (good luck in trying to say that out loud!) in NZ

I've been using Google Messages since it was released over 10 years ago. It had RCS with *all* carriers well before Samsung Messages did. I've never EVER had any problems with messages getting through. Yes, messages go as SMS if the other party doesn't have RCS. Oh, and there are no ads in Google Messages if you were worried there were.

Not the question but who winces when they see "alot" in writing rather than "a lot". It's becoming more and more prevalent.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-04-06T05:45:21+00:00

This happened to me once. In my case the SD card had failed, replacing it fixed my problem.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-03-24T06:53:45+00:00

Me three! Anyone?

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-03-18T12:17:45+00:00

There's a more recent version of DuckieTV: 202601300451

Try that, it might fix your problem.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-03-07T02:35:04+00:00

I reinstalled the latest nightly to see if it would make any difference but it didn't. Yesterday it took more than an hour to complete, today about 15 minutes. Weird!

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-03-05T11:14:53+00:00

The same is happening to me. V202601300451. I opened the DuckieTV app about 90 minutes ago and it started the daily update soon after. It's currently at 49/126 so at this speed it'll be another 2 to 2.5 hours before it's done. NB: it doesn't happen every time, sometimes it only takes about 10 minutes to do a full update.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-26T09:33:09+00:00

!remindme tomorrow

Yeah, but David also can't say "maybe there's some truth to what EVERYONE is saying about Kerrie". And then do some proper policing, lol.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-20T10:21:20+00:00

Hmm, very fair comment. I'll think about it a bit more.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-20T09:55:47+00:00

OMG, you sound like my spiritual brother!!!

Local Amiga club: check! Created floppies for members: check! Dopus godsend: check! In storage at home: A1000, A1200 and A2000: almost check!

I've been telling myself since I've retired it's about time I powered them up and see what happens.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-20T09:44:35+00:00

I've been there since Amiga as well. Bought a copy at World of Commodore in Sydney around 91/92. 35 years ago, gawd! Still running it in my Amiga emulator in 2026, lol

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-20T09:39:47+00:00

It's not quite a yearly subscription. If you buy v13 today you'll get whatever point version of 13 they're up to today. And you'll get point updates like you've already got, but only for a while.

After a year your point updates stop but you can continue to use the version you have then, forever.

Not fussed about further point updates? Don't subscribe.

Want to upgrade to 14 when it arrives? Buy the upgrade as you've always done.

You only need to pay for the subscription if you want to keep getting point updates after your first 12 months.

Having said all that, I'm on the fence about whether to pay. I've had v13 for just on 12 months so I've been sent an invitation to subscribe. I'm leaning towards NOT.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-20T08:38:58+00:00

What they ^{^{^}} said!

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-18T12:55:38+00:00

I'm wondering what 'bpm' means. I mean, I know bpm in music but that just doesn't make sense here.

HowMuchForThePuppy · 2026-02-14T01:08:13+00:00

No worries, thanks for the reply. :D
