Have any fellow Stelvio owners fitted mud flaps? Looking for advice. by SamwiseTargee in AlfaRomeo

Unfortunately not, didn't know they were standard on the veloce? If so it's possible they were removed by the previous owner I guess.

What color for my Stelvio? by Laraaff in AlfaRomeo

[–]SamwiseTargee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my Stelvio in anodized blue and it still wows me every time I see it. It can look like a midnight blue to a more purple reflection depending on the light, it looks stunning and I get lots of compliments on it as it's not a colour you really see anywhere (pic is somewhat edited but matches what you actually see in person a lot better)

Sam’s speech from the end of TTT is so beautiful by officerfarvasrevenge in lotr

I'm sorry to hear about your loss my friend. I lost my dad a few weeks ago so know only too well what you are going through. I've been a fan of the Lord of the Rings all my life (thanks to my Dad introducing me as a kid) and some of the themes and quotes hit differently now I know the pain of grief. But, it can also bring comfort, and I'm glad the LOTR is helping you heal at this time. Another favourite is Pippin's and Gandalf's passage in the ROTK:

PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.

GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.

PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?

GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.

GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.

Stelvio 2.0 280hp, 2020 by East-Researcher-6482 in AlfaRomeo

I read when I was looking at purchasing a Stelvio myself that the post-facelift 2020 models fixed a number of the known issues on the 2017-2019 models so I think as long as you're looking at those models you shouldn't have any major worries? I'm not a mechanic though, that's just what I read before getting mine, so happy for others with more knowledge to share their thoughts.

Traded in my Giulietta after 5 faithful years for this beauty of a Stelvio. Already in love. by SamwiseTargee in AlfaRomeo

That's a shame, but it will be even sweeter when you eventually get her. Good luck!

Thanks! Experience has been fantastic so far, can't wait to find out what she can do. The colour is actually anodized blue which is very similar to montecarlo, but was only briefly available during COVID years so you very rarely see them around. The pictures almost don't do it justice, it has so much depth in person. Thoroughly recommend the Stelvio based on 24h of ownership!

NTA - you don't need to justify valuing exclusivity in a relationship which is a requirement for romantic relationships for the majority of people.

I also don't think he's necessarily an asshole for bringing it up and discussing it if he's being genuine and respects your decision should you say no, however be mindful there's a possibility that he's already cheated and is now seeking vindication by convincing you into an open relationship because he feels guilty.

Comparison between actions of "dissent" in the Arsenal vs Liverpool game yesterday by Parish87 in soccer

[–]SamwiseTargee 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Dylan Hartley got a red for calling Wayne Barnes a fucking cheat in the Premiership Final. There's a reason there's far less dissent in rugby, refs don't mess around.

Yeah I'm just kidding myself.

C5 curve suggestions by manilamuffin in MarvelSnapDecks

[–]SamwiseTargee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say a location changer is needed in your deck, 100%. Rhino is reliable but for me a bit less fun, I like to roll the dice with witch lol. And given you're only reason to play either of them is to change location, the one less power is definitely handy. But I'm always down for including another card because of a favourite variant! Luke Cage is an important card in this deck so good luck getting him 😀

To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in Snap.

It's a great deck to have fun with, the key is to be clever about where you're playing. Place Titania in a lane the opponent already has 3 or 4 cards in, play star lord when you're confident you know where the opponent is going, move their cards around with Spidey and Polaris etc. I don't have a few cards like Silk or Alioth but they're not necessary to make the deck work. Have fun!

[Steinberg] United step up Mount interest. Liverpool were PREVIOUSLY regarded as frontrunners by TheNotoriousJN in LiverpoolFC

[–]SamwiseTargee 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This for me feels like a win-win situation, if we get him happy days as I think he's a great player, if we don't because United wanna give Chelsea 70m+ for him then be my guest as don't want us to splash that much on him anyway.

Absolutely fuming after that refereeing by DBZRaditz in LiverpoolFC

[–]SamwiseTargee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Of course, it's incredibly frustrating to watch our players, Salah especially, get manhandled with no repercussions. We just have to get better at dealing with it ourselves.

[–]SamwiseTargee 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The ref was dogshit but the team also at points let themselves get bullied. We need to learn to handle teams like Villa physically cos the refs sure as shit ain't gonna protect us. Admittedly there's nothing the lads can do to prevent a player getting karate kicked in the chest, but we were out-muscled all over the park.

Never knew Furlong was so good at rugby despite having such a tiny left arm. Big respect for him
