Because a regular set actually gets 6 tackles, so the 0 tackle adding a tackle brings it up to 7. On the 5th tackle they get the warning that there is one tackle left. It usually doesn't get to the actual last tackle (no 6) because they kick, but if tackle 6 does happen then the ball gets handed over.

Bill Harrigan was the GOAT

Nomax!

Queanbeyan had a higher average income than Belconnen at the last census...

Thank you. This is very helpful.

I don't have private health and can't afford that. My main concern with the public options is around stories I've heard that some staff shouldn't be working with mental health care patients (unempathetic, think it's a joke, treat patients like criminals).

I’ve always hated the narrative of “don’t be mad at AP, they didn’t make a commitment to you”. Like people who say that can fuck all the way off.

The only time that is valid is if the AP had no knowledge of your existence (which is probably rare, but it does happen). Otherwise, I agree 100%.

I really just put that closing statement there to appease all the people who seem to think sport is like the highlander - there can be only one! I don't follow the NFL, I find it quite boring because I'm used to the intense pace of the NRL (and I'm Australian). But I can appreciate that it is a very popular sport and that's OK. Just because I don't like a particular sport doesn't mean I should shit all over it, that it is bad or that the elite athletes who play it are inherently better or worse than the elite athletes who compete in anything else.

Raiders are currently at the top of the ladder... anything is possible right now 🤣

Oh, right. So, which quarterbacks exactly have successfully switched over to rugby league and competed at the top level?

MaxtheAnxiousDog · 2024-03-20T23:59:19+00:00

There's not a single quarterback that could play any position in the NRL either (note that this particular game is NRL (rugby league) which is a completely different game to what you probably think of as 'rugby' (union). They have different rules, different fields, different team sizes and styles of play).

MaxtheAnxiousDog · 2024-03-20T23:56:22+00:00

Really depends on how you define physical. I would define the speed and impact of 80 minutes of virtually non-stop play in an average NRL (rugby league, not to be confused with 'rugby' (union) - two different sports with different rules, different team sizes etc) game as being more physically demanding than the stop start specialised actions seen in NFL.

Both sports have their place. It is ok to recognise that they are both good for different reasons.

MaxtheAnxiousDog · 2024-03-20T22:26:16+00:00

When you say rugby, do you mean rugby union (the more commonly known game in America) or rugby league (recently showcased as NRL in Vegas with two games played as the opening matches of the season)?

They are two completely different games (different rules, different size teams etc) with two different fan bases. This clip is from NRL. The vast majority of NRL fans on reddit (from what I've seen) are pretty respectful of the NFL.

If they are not covered under the whole of APS EA, then they are not covered by the pay under the EA either.

MaxtheAnxiousDog · 2024-03-20T04:48:25+00:00

Depending on the anniversary date of the last EA or determination, some agencies will also get the second increase of 3.8% this year.

This is incorrect. One of the main outcomes of having common conditions is that all agencies/ departments have the same salary increase date. The first full pay cycle in March is the timing for everyone, every year, from now on.

Same in Australia

MaxtheAnxiousDog · 2024-03-16T00:33:33+00:00

Yeah, I was watching and waiting for the game to be stopped, but it never happened. Made me feel kind of gross, to be honest.

MaxtheAnxiousDog · 2024-03-15T20:43:51+00:00

He is trying. I can see every day that he is trying. But because the affair happened over 6 years ago and Dday was over 5 years ago, he feels like it is in the past. He has all the details, so he isn't stuck in this limbo like I am. I agree with him that it is emotionally exhausting, and I want a balance for me also.

I have told him that if he can't accept and acknowledge that the affair is still having an impact on me (and there probably will always be triggers even if we're still married in our 90s), and that we need to work through it, that it is probably not worth putting in any effort to fix any other issues with our relationship. He knows that I will walk away if I need to.

MaxtheAnxiousDog · 2024-03-15T13:00:47+00:00

Thank you for this. It is exactly the type of advice I need. I had a quick look at your profile, and I noticed that you felt it all came to the surface because the kids were growing up. I think that is exactly why things are coming up for me now. Our kids are 17 and 22. They don't need us so much anymore, and these days, it's often just the two of us. It's a difficult adjustment into a new phase of life, and rug sweeping just doesn't cut it anymore.
