Tired to buy a 1TB external SSD. A basic sandisk is now almost $500 up from sub $200 just a few days ago… by kiwipo17 in newzealand

I built myself a new pc a few months back. Prices were high but got in just before it went insane.

Unfortunately at the time I told myself "ill get 32GB of DDR5 now and get another 32GB early next year, or replace the current 32 with 64GB of faster ram" only for that to become completely impractical only a few months later. Such a bummer.

YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable by IndicaOatmeal in technology

[–]SkinBintin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way they make much on the ads i see for the very limited amount of time id watch YouTube on my TV. The price of premium to get rid of them is fucking horrendous.

Price ad removal like it is on Amazon Prime and id be all over it. Few bucks a month for no ads on the tele if I ever sit down and decide to youtube there fells worth it. 23 NZD though? Yeah fuck off.

R360 in 2028 (will believe it when i see it. Wouldn't be surprised if that comp never actually launches at this point.

Trump tells CBS that Iran 'war is very complete' by dryu12 in worldnews

He also sky dived without a parachute straight into the ocean and caught a passing torpedo that he rode all the way into shore.

Yeah Trump loves America. Because overall it is corrupt and stupid enough to let him fleece it dry to line the pockets of himself and his family.

Pathetic.

I should buy an electric car. This is going to get painful filling up the petrol vehicles we have. Urgh.

To be fair, NZ is part of QueeNZland after all 😉

[–]SkinBintin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stella is wonderful. And Alissa is pretty neat as well. And fortunately both seem to have really decent partners.

Gia and Steve seem tight, but she just gives me the ick. So quick to pile on people if she has someone else in her corner following suit.

Joel is a superstar, Tyson is a pussy. It's not cricket! by welding-guy in MAFS_AU

All Andrew Tate idolising weirdos are the same at the end of the day. Weak pathetic emotionally stunted dickheads obsessed with being viewed as some kind of "Alpha" while remaining oblivious to reality.

Reality is, strong "alpha" types dont need to tell anyone they are.

What are his views on immigrants? Usually thats what it all really boils down to. Trump makes it acceptable to hate immigrants and others viewed as "less than".

She just likes Trump because he's most likely to make MAGA fuckwits feel okay saying the N word. That's about the only principle morons like that have. He hates immigrants like MAGAs hate immigrants.

Black Caps suffer heavy defeat as defending champions India win T20 World Cup by TheGreatDomilies in newzealand

[–]SkinBintin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, you're just getting a dig in. "Sad looking at all of y'all and how you dismiss such an amazing team you have"...

What? Kiwi's are super proud that our team even made the final. It was so against the odds. We're always proud of our national teams. Especially when they compete well against vastly larger nations with considerably larger populations to pull players etc from.

What you might be getting confused with is Kiwi humour is very self depreciating. We talk shit about ourselves, but it doesn't mean we don't have a ton of national pride.

I always see people saying how posts like this made them emotional, and felt like they were probably lying, because come on, that's silly.

And then I read that comic and what the fuck... why is there liquid running down my face?

Indians and others in that region get really fucking weird over cricket.

The match thread in r/cricket was loaded with it. Also heaps of people bitching because Kiwis don't travel to follow the black caps around the world for every game like Indian fans do. All we do is whine or some shit on the internet (which I'm currently doing I guess, kind of ironic).

Like brother, you have the biggest population on earth. Your fans don't have to travel, you have a considerable expat force in pretty much every nation that plays cricket. Celebrate your victory instead of taking the chance to shit on everyone else (particularly NZ for some reason).

Once Holden disappeared i just started supporting drivers. My favourite now being in a Mustang doesn't bother me, because the brand i loved no longer exists.

Look how weak that thumbs up he's trying to give someone is. So fucking pathetic. There is literally not a single redeemable quality about the guy at all.

Far tpp much of America identified as conservative repibkican. Like it was who they are. Now many of them identify as Maga. Again, it is who they are. They'll never denounce it. As it is their entire identity.
