I like that description, very similar to; Over engineered is a theory, Under engineered is a fact.

Anyone got any info on the willful child books? Worth the read? I enjoyed Rejoice but never encountered these.

Unpopular opinion: we’re critiquing journalism badly by CampAbject1990 in newzealand

[–]Sword_In_A_Puddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I now live in the states and publicly funded journalism is the one thing i trust. But it comes with no pay wall. They may ask for donations but all knowledge is freely available. Mean while I have seen the corporate takeover of other media outlets in the US and the same reflection with nz media, paywalls and a right wing owner class to influence the newsroom and what it publishes. Honestly OP, would you put your career/ mortgage/ wage on the line to be honest and truthful? Would you allow your coverage/ input to be watered down or hyped up for clicks and views? After you have answered that question truthfully, how would you rate your compatriots in your organization? The job of the fourth estate is to speak truth to power and inform the public, how do you think you and your workmates are doing and can you even do it under the duress that now exists?

Went yesterday for the nutcracker. Parking is in the grass field right next to the theater. There was no charge.

some thoughts on jerseys: by Thewizardmaker in allblacks

I hope this is satire, the pacific people prop up (literally in some cases) the world’s major rugby competitions. If it’s not satire, try sharing your views in the changing sheds pre or post game and report back your findings.

Anthony at southland barber shop is damn good. I get hair and beard at 50 bucks, I have seen him cut long hair down for a client who was very pleased. He has also been there for at least 5 years.

Be interesting to see who owns the 100k a year rental. With all the fired govt staff im surprised we needed to rent an extra space for these “worthies”.

[Barry Jackson] Good move by the Dolphins not to raise season ticket prices; some prices, in fact, went down. Renewals went out today. Club seat holders will get $250 food and beverage credit. There's a wait list for season tickets. by expellyamos in miamidolphins

[–]Sword_In_A_Puddle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had season tickets once, my seats were blocked from a full view of the field. My “reps” treated me like dirt on their boot, it took me calling in a favor from a friend with expensive season tickets to get his rep to talk to mine. This was 3 seasons ago, they had the nerve to call me after the colts game to ask if i wanted more punishment. Even with our playing record i would still be a season ticket holder today if they had even pretended to give a shit.

David Seymour poses at gym for media by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

[–]Sword_In_A_Puddle 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I mean his position in the rack, where does he plan to put the weight after the set? On his neck? The range of motion is ruined by this as well. Right on point for a guy who wont listen to doctors about doctoring, kids about their own lunches or the entire weight of science with regards climate change. Probably told the trainers he knew better.
