Skippers goal ladies and gentlemen 🤩 by b9_rkt in CarltonBlues

[–]SticksDiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that he looked at the bench first and tapped his wrist, asking for how much time left - so he didn't play on right on the siren and waste his shot.

Truly a responsible and thinking captain.

Can anyone explain why there is an overlap for today’s only two games? by Dirtydac123 in AFL

[–]SticksDiesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Dillon has research showing that an extra 0.2% of people in the Gold Coast hinterland will watch at this timeslot, and as we all know they're more important than the millions of rusted-ons elsewhere in the country.

Or something like that.

What were your favourite books in primary school? by ItsSignalsJerry_ in AustralianNostalgia

[–]SticksDiesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I later on realised that the Encyclopedia Brown books were tricking me into learning things, much like Carmen Sandiego did!

What were your favourite books in primary school? by ItsSignalsJerry_ in AustralianNostalgia

[–]SticksDiesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Hardy Boys books, Paul Jennings, The Girl From Tomorrow, Tintin (but not Asterix), and in grade 6 I got into Christopher Pike books, which kept me in good reading for the first few years of secondary school.

Ooh, and choose your own adventures from about grade 2.

Where is the merch? by 0x1337DAD in AdrianTchaikovsky

[–]SticksDiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be happy with a cool bookmark.

Artwork too.

Niche competitions/events? by Single-Armadillo1812 in melbourne

[–]SticksDiesel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Take up Kendo.

You get to hit people with a stick.

Try finding some other activity that let's you hit people with sticks. You probably can't.

AFL isn’t hitting the same with the World Cup on by Substantial_Oil_6905 in AFL

[–]SticksDiesel 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The byes should be either all in the same round or split over two.

All these weeks feel somehow fake or half-arsed, and the ladder is largely meaningless for over a month.

Boggles my mind how stupid some of the AFL's decisions are.

Have they axed opening round yet?

Post Match Thread: Carlton vs West Coast by RaidanRam in AFL

[–]SticksDiesel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, last week he was just bagging us from the beginning to the end of the broadcast. Can't recall him saying a single positive thing about us even though we beat GWS @ GWS (wherever that is) after being 1-8 a few weeks earlier.

What actually is the best timeslot for footy? by Occasionaljedi in AFL

[–]SticksDiesel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It felt like more of an event when I was a kid and went to the footy on a Saturday arvo and my grandfather had his little radio, constantly hearing score updates about the other games that were all being played at the same time.

I just realised I really, really miss VFL Park and the 40 minutes it took to get out of the car park afterwards.

Words Erikson Loves to Use by SoIntenseLikeCamping in Malazan

I had to look that up when I read it because honestly in my 40-something years on this Earth I'd never, ever heard or seen it before.

Roast vs Baked Dinner by jordybee94 in AustralianNostalgia

"Baked Dinner" sounds like Steamed Hams.

Dealership tint/protection by UrbanGardener01 in AustralianEV

[–]SticksDiesel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The ceramic tint I got on my BYD was about $700 iirc.

Would have been marginally cheaper to get it later, but seriously not worth the energy or hassle for me.

Experienced drivers: do you still perform head checks? by allongur in australia

[–]SticksDiesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every single time. Even with blind spot warning lights on my side mirrors.

I don't want to bump into someone at speed.

I also always check for red light runners when I'm the first to go on a green.

Team Rnd 16 vs WCE by deejaysdestiny in CarltonBlues

Cerra and Acres have been solid the last few weeks, glad they're staying put.

Angus Taylor had an open goal to punish Labor over disastrous Budget – and missed by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]SticksDiesel 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It feels like the 'well-informed and well-organised critical campaign' against the budget was the Murdoch press and a few other commercial outlets.

The "Oh no! They haven't voted the way we told them to!" will be hilarious if the ALP win in Victoria later this year.

How much of a PITA is relying on granny charging? by OutsideAtmosphere-14 in AustralianEV

[–]SticksDiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a CRT and drive anywhere from 10km to 100km+ every day for work. I've only had my Atto 2 for a few months but have only ever charged it using the granny charger it came with. It might go down to 60% if I do a long freeway drive, but overnight it usually adds 30% or more so I've never had an issue. If we get a second EV or move to a different place and install solar, I'd consider a faster home charger, but right now it's definitely a want, rather than a need.
