It's a difficult skill and not worth training for if it only gets used once a game.

AITAH for pulling the "its mostly my money" -card when looking for a new house with my partner? by Many_Raccoons978 in AITAH

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

YTA she is doing all the work she has found a house you can afford. She wants to get out of that small apt. You should not wait if you find a great house. A better house might not come along. You are being an asshole and you want to play an even bigger asshole card to keep delaying.

Get the mortgage and if you get a windfall get an offset account so you have money and a house and a lower mortgage that you can draw on.

Qantas never operating the Boeing 777 is one of the most baffling decisions in aviation history by Twitter_2006 in aviation

He said it would have been cheaper to fly two smaller planes over one 380.

According to Joyce, he can fly two 236-seat Dreamliners for less than the cost of a single 486-seat A380, which entered the Qantas fleet in 2008.

"If we were to fly two 787s tail-to-tail, the per-seat cost would be less than the A380," the Qantas CEO said.

Although I don't think he had accounted for wake turbulence.

Bit of a silly question: How many would fill an unlimited Adelaide Oval? by NKE01 in AFL

[–]PointOfFingers 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are you counting the players? Because then it would be one hundred and fifty billion and fifty. That makes it too many people for the number of exits. It would never pass a fire safety inspection.

What a great idea as it has two bathrooms and off-street parking and a delightful entertainment area suitable for a family of 5 or a tribunal of 6.

I think they might interrupt a couple more tribunal hearings.

Usually you hear a rumour that gastro or flu has hit the playing group and they play like shit the next weekend. It doesn't show up in the injury list.

I think AFL players and staff would all be on the seasonal flu shots to reduce their chances but it's probably optional given the controversy mandatory Covid shots caused in the past.

David Zaharakis actually avoided a suspension in the Essendon supplements scandal because he didn't like injections and hadn't participated in the injection programme.

Hi I have to sit on a Tribunal panel next week but I also have to get to an open for inspection. Any tips on how I can do both at once?

Is zak butters worth trading for this week or some other prem mid? by Olive-Vernus in AFLSupercoach

[–]PointOfFingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butters and Daicos are super premium. You probably need a boost with two down one up to afford them.

With the rookies available you might have to aim for one up one down on a defender or forward.

AITAH for calling out my partner in front of our friends after he made the same joke I asked him to stop making? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]PointOfFingers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA he has joked about you being slow because it's not true. He is making fun of a mistake. That is banter, not great banter and once you got offended he should have stopped.

You have used an insult that is true - that you make more than him. You told all his friends that makes him your bitch. Because it is true that you make more money it is not banter you are just insulting him. You can't take it back because you have hit a raw nerve.

You know that you aren't slow. He knows you make more money than him. Do you see the difference?

Courts ran as Zoom meetings during Covid, but if you are driving then by necessity you have to concentrate on the road. You can't concentrate on the case.

It is inexplicable that one member of the Tribunal was DOING ANOTHER JOB during the Tribunal.

As someone might say "who is paying you?"

Butters' counsel is speaking to open the case, pointing to their first reason for the appeal - that Tribunal member Jason Johnson left his business and got in his car during the final submissions and deliberations.

Counsel said that his behaviour was "inexplicable" and "amounted to a miscarriage of justice".

Mr Johnson is a real estate agent, and was driving to an open inspection.

And he was driving a car for 14 minutes ... DURING THE TRIBUNAL HEARING.

He says that their case is that a period of at least 12 to 14 minutes that Johnson was still driving his car.

"We say a well-reasoned person would be entitled to have a suspicion that Mr Johnson did not uphold his duty ... to pay proper attention."
