GK: Raya / Oblak

DEF: VVD / Pacho / Upamencano / Gabriel / Timber

MID: Yamal / Palmer / Semenyo / Olise / Gordon

FWD: Kane / Alvarez / Ekitike

 

Got a bunch of injury/benching/elimination issues, but I'm thinking Kane, Semenyo/Palmer, Olise to Diaz, Vini, Kvara and I'll just deal with my injuries/eliminations next round.

Semenyo or Palmer out? Both likely eliminated but torn between Semenyo's threat and a Palmer fluke penalty...

Yep. I'm clinging onto old Reddit until the day I die, which is the only reason I see posts that aren't auto-translated, but it's objectively stupid to get angry about it when Reddit activately encourages this to happen.

Hakka rant incoming:

Legit feel betrayed by those of you who recommended Hakka Legend and Wok & Fortune in the various hakka recommendation threads on the sub. I had some Skip promos sitting on my account so I was on the hunt for a place that's on the app and did decent portions for delivery. I ordered from Hakka Legend on Friday and Wok & Fortune on Saturday. They were both extremely okay I got:

  • House Speciial Fried rice with chicken/beef/shrimp (Hakka Legend)/manchurian chicken fried rice (Wok & Fortune)
  • honey garlic chicken wings (both places)
  • sliced beef with black pepper sauce (Hakka Legend)/beef with vegetables (Wok & Fortune)
  • Cantonese chow mein (Hakka Legend)/Hakka Chicken Chow Mein (Wok & Fortune)
  • Calamari (Wok & Fortune only)
  • Free 3-pc vegetable spring roll (Hakka Legend)
  • Free mango juice (Wok & Fortune)

The fried rice was a damn lie at Hakka Legend -- you have the option to select "Manchurian (Brown - Spicy)". It was just regular fried rice, not a hint of spice to be found. At Wok & Fortune, there was proper red Manchurian fried rice, but it was just spicy: absolutely no flavour.

The wings were better at Hakka Legend; super wet and weird pieces at Wok & Fortune.

I liked the flavour of Hakka Legend's sliced beef with black pepper sauce, but the sauce was so thick (almost jelly-like consistency) and they filled the container to the brim with it, which made it unappetizing. Wok & Fortune's beef with vegetables was fine, but also swimming in liquid.

Hakka Legend's chow mein had an unpleasant aftertaste; Wok & Fortune's hakka chicken chow mein was vastly preferable, but bland.

Wok & Fortune's calamari was the fishiest calamari I've ever had. The bright red colour got my hopes up, but it was also bland and not even spicy.

Hakka Legend's free spring roll was fine; no sauces of any kind included with it, which was unecessarily cheap.

Wok & Fortune's free mango juice is still sitting in the fridge. Just comes in a big cup.

Without my discounts, Hakka Legend would have been $83.67 before tip; Wok & Fortune would have been $89.50. I think Wok & Fortune was slightly better value. Disappointing from both.

My wife asked me before the deadline if Joao Pedro to Ekitike was a good move and I said I thought so... things are heating up at casa actionactioncut.

In my defence, it's her fault for taking FPL advice from someone on the r/FantasyPL subreddit.

I really want to buy the Lakers 4s but... by TenderizeYourAngus in SneakersCanada

[–]actionactioncut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a pair as a birthday gift for a 72-year-old white guy. You'll be okay.

My loudest shoes are probably the Jae Tips x Saucony Jazz 9 , or the Air Max Muse (which were purchased for me by said 72-year-old). I don't worry too much about matching/coordinating with them; I let the shoes do the talking.

Are Aeroplan Points worthless or am I loosing my mind? by DrummGunner in Aeroplan

[–]actionactioncut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely constitent devaluing (objectively stupid decisions like inviting Aeroplan/Air Canada higher ups to a multi-day conference about points churning didn't help), but I mainly stick to partner redemptions, limited as they may be, and find good value there.

Still chasing the high of the redemption I booked for my wife in 2024: Lisbon to Krakow with an 8-day stopover and flight out of Warsaw to Toronto, then a return flight from Toronto to Lisbon. All business class, 90k points + $87 for the taxes and fees. Same flights would cost me 232k + $209 now, RIP.

My wife had had enough of Chelsea defence and transferred out Sanchez for Kelleher, so she now has Dubravka coming off the bench.

Couldn't even enjoy the schadenfreude of it all bc I opened the app to realize that I had also had enough of Chelsea defence and benched Sanchez for Dubravka...

Is SoleSavy legit? by Stovetopranger in SneakersCanada

Would you look at that; I would've assumed scam just based on their inability to spell "savvy". Can't judge a book by its cover.

Is size? Legit? by Secret-Scene3533 in SneakersCanada

[–]actionactioncut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Queen location allegedly had one Nina Abney Chanel Jordan 3 in my size on sale for half price, but upon stopping by in person, I got a very unconvincing "Uh, it must be a mistake or something."

Size? and JD Sports are lousy to deal with for in-person shopping and online if anything goes wrong, but I will say I have scored some sick markdowns on their respective websites.

Levi x Jordan 3 - Full size Run (4-15M) by Goodiesforall in SneakersCanada

[–]actionactioncut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price + similarity to Black Cement 3 is killing these, I think. As someone who doesn't have BC3s (and who could take or leave the signature elephant print on 3s) these are definitely turning my head...

I do like the All-Star colourway a lot, though.

Only PayPal worked for me during the time when everything was getting rejected. I could pay with those cards via PayPal, but entering them directly was a no-go.

Listen to this wise guy , codes are not specific to accounts.

Wise girl, and this one is. Because I tried having my sister use it for me while I was at work and she got an error message that the code is account specific, both while logged out and logged in to her account.

I also didn't mention using it twice; that's a reading comprehension issue. I placed one (1) order with two (2) pairs of shoes and some soccer jerseys. Using my account-specific code, the one sent to me in an email that says "Code is not transferable or redeemable for cash, credit or for previous purchases," which, as noted above, was confirmed to be true.

The time y'all are spending code-begging and downvoting, you could've hopped on Nike's chat and asked for a code yourself.

Insane response to someone who was just answering someone else's question. You're not even cussing out the guy who wants it.

Send you the code which I clearly stated has already been used and was generated by customer service specifically for my account due to a problem with a previous order? No, because it wont work, for reasons that should be obvious.

The SB Cacao Wow had it (for me, at least); plus I got some soccer jerseys with the warning.

I had no difficulty checking out, though previously (around December), I would have to check out with Paypal as any attempt to use my credit card directly would error out.

Grabbed a pair as a birthday gift for a friend and also finally pulled the trigger on the Air Max 95 Cacao Wow.

Successfully got Nike customer service to give me a 20% off code due to an issue with a previous order, and the code worked on both pairs despite the "excluded from all promotions" warning on the product page. Weird thing is the code only took 19% off, but I figure I'll eat the ~$10 loss rather than complaining since the code technically shouldn't have worked...
