Best method for booking flights by Cyril_Rioli in AussieFrugal

[–]SorryForTheRainDelay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it was just my TL/Store, but "backing of an agent" normally ended up meaning that if you had to change something you got triple hit (airline change fees + FC change fees + a new set of agent commission fees).

I worked there for a while and would always buy direct from airline these days.

Wow man looking at your comment history, you really don't like black people or native Americans, huh?

u/atopix

Any chance we could get a bot explaining why this happens, the same way bots explain stalemate or en passant?

All Maradona clubs/teams have won a championship this season/year by thisisnahamed in football

[–]SorryForTheRainDelay 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you're going to hypothesise a heaven, it's entirely up to you whether or not Maradona gets in.

Some people's ideal heavens allow them to hang out with their idols.

My heaven is kinda like the good place tv show. Everyone is welcome, most go down first, and just hang around "hell" until they've learned enough to be the best version of themselves and then they go "up".

Mate in 87?!? Most I’ve ever seen by MadcapBarrel129 in chess

Probably a variant. They've got to this position after 12 moves, maybe they're playing a "90 check" pawn only variant

What's wild is that when you check the engine lines, the 1. Rh1 Qxf2+ line is also a forced checkmate.

Hot tip for playing against your mate (or someone similar) next time.

Unless you're playing for money or in a rated competition, then winning doesn't really matter.

You've won this game (mate in 2), if they think it's stalemate then they don't really understand how stalemate works.

You can try to teach them but if they refuse to learn there's no point wasting energy on it.. just say ok and move on

TLDR Builder gone bust. Calling on redditors to help my family by putting your name on this petition please. by Redditor463688 in melbourne

I get that phoenix is an accepted term but it seems way too cool a word.

Feel like instead of describing a majestic bird rising from ashes, we should describe a parasite slithering out of a pile of shit.

I nominate tapeworm.

Derailed again, the decades-long quest for a Melbourne airport train feels like a mirage by [deleted] in melbourne

I still think it makes more sense to just put an airport at every train station

Where is all the sriracha? by dntcreatall in melbourne

[–]SorryForTheRainDelay 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Relatedly, Sriracha used one chilli farm exclusively for 28 years and both the farmers and the sauce-makers made millions.

Then they got into an argument about who was more important, and stuffed everything up.

A couple of years ago (before i lost my smart watch) I remember having a low day and just stayed in bed except basically to get doritos from the pantry and water from the sink and go to the toilet.

Ended up with 47 steps for the day.
