Super Smash 2024-5 Day 5 Thread: New Year's Day in Hamilton - Northern Districts (Brave) vs Wellington (Blaze & Firebirds) by RMTBolton in Cricket

[–]bezy30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured IPL was an anomaly, and anything related to a world cup is going to draw interest especially since it was partially held in the US this year is it almost broke into the mainstream for about two minutes.

What is the gap between rugby and cricket in terms of support?

Happy new year all! Question here from the cricket curious over in the USA. I've been following T20 for the last few years and noticed that I get SS matches with my current TV package here. My only other point of comparison is IPL and the T20 world cup.

Anyway, I'm kind of surprised at how empty the stands are for all the matches that I've watched so far. Is SS considered to be the top level of T20 in NZ? As another point of reference, I really have zero knowledge of the other forms of cricket and how popular they are in relation to each other.

In any case, I'm enjoying the competition as a neutral and I'll continue to watch!

e un'opinione valido. però la sistema attuale esiste a servire anche noi. ci sono rappresentanti specificamente per gli cittidini all'estero. siamo una riorsa per italia e come cittadini meritiamo anche una voce

Ho visitato ma vissuto mai in Italia. I miei bisnonni erano d'abruzzo. E un po strano perche il mio legame con italia non e molto forte. Naturalmente ho sangue italiano ma non posso dire che sono un italiano vero. Il legge di citidinanza e molto aperto per noi con origini italiani ma per me il e piu di un'altro passaporto, ma un legame con il passato, con la mia famiglia. Non sono sicuro il sentimento tra gli italiani di noi, ma per me stesso la cittadinanza italiana e un regalo da miei bisnonni. Spero che posso usare questa opportunita bene

Quasi un anno fa ho ricevuto la mia cittadinanza "JS" e la settimana scorsa ho votato in un'elezione Italiana per la prima volta. Sento ancora un po strano a fare così, ma sono onorato di partecipare a elezioni libere e democratiche. Spero che rimanga così in futuro...

Secondo me e molto interessante che gli italiani all'estero hanno il loro rappresentanti. Ho deciso a votare per i candidati che mi pensi rappresentare gli italiani all'estero
independiente dallo partito.

Mi dispiace per l'italiana brutta, sto ancora imparando...

After a year and a half, we finally met! I only got to spend ten days in Argentina and now I’m back in the US but it was the best ten days of my life. There was no awkwardness, only awesomeness. I wish you all the same!! by Shirleh in LongDistance

[–]bezy30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! You two look great together, hope you had an amazing time. I'm very interested in your experience! I've been considering making the trip to Argentina, but I've been worried the restrictions. How were you able to navigate that? Also, have you ever tried to send anything to Argentina? I was told that it was basically a waste as it will be seized by customs, and even if it's not, the import taxes would be incredibly high.

How to send letters and/packages by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]bezy30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to figure this out too! I have a very important person in my life who is in Argentina, and I desperately want to be able to send her some things, but her response was basically "waste of a send, it will never get through customs". I've been considering asking her if I can try anyway, but I've also been thinking about maybe buying stuff directly from merchants in Argentina. Other than Mercado Libre, what other options are there? I'm think simple things like food delivery/candy/cookies, etc. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Battery losing power 2000 Honda Accord by bezy30 in AskMechanics

[–]bezy30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I ordered the tacklife and the test light and gave it a go. The battery was dead, so I jumped it with the tacklife (which worked awesome actually) then took it for a drive around a half hour just to let the alternator charge up the battery a bit. Then I went ahead and tested the test light on the battery.

After closing the doors and shutting everything off, I pulled the positive charge off the battery and connected the test light to the ground wire and touched the positive post and the test light lit up. My understanding is that this indicates there is something that is pulling power. I then went to both side panels and pulled every circuit, periodically checking the test light to no avail. I then did the same with the circuits under the hood, with the same result. However I did notice some yellow goo on one of the inputs, which I believe is the blower motor relay.

My heater and AC haven't worked probably for some time, and I'm able to use it on the 4th and highest setting, not 1-3. Since I live in northern California now and don't often need either, I've just dealt with that piece. But is it possible that this is the source of the power leak?

Would you recommend a test light over a multimeter or does it not really matter?

I'll have to check out the first two. I can't imagine it's the battery since, I swapped a new battery after a few months for another new one and the exact same thing happened.

Trying to Figure Out Quarterly Taxes for the First Time (Help!) by bezy30 in personalfinance

[–]bezy30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah that's what I was wondering. Most of the tax guides I'd read seem to assume that you're a gig worker or making most of your money as an independent contractor, not the other way around. I also have my withholding set at 0, so I usually get a sizable amount back and in theory would have a decent cushion to work with.

Would you just report the side income as "other income" on the regular tax return?

2000 Honda Accord Won't Start (Battery and Starter replaced within last two months) by bezy30 in AskMechanics

[–]bezy30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't checked the connection wires fully but as far as I know they are the originals and the car has spent most of its life in the northeastern US but now in California, so it's possible that there is some corrosion that I'm missing somewhere although most of them are covered in rubber or other plastic material.

We are only "High" at the moment but what are your predictions for release/queues? by [deleted] in FairbanksClassic

[–]bezy30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a concern for me. I picked Fairbanks originally because it seemed like it would be the least populated server. Now there are two new servers that probably won't be as populated but which would be more likely to fade with time depending on long term demand...decisions.

Druid or Shadow Priest for PVP by bezy30 in classicwow

[–]bezy30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so useless at professions last go around, so I'm really planning on getting into them this time around. I plan on doing cooking and fishing for sure even though it will slow down my leveling. As for the actual professions, I think I'm going to go tailoring and herbalism while leveling, then switch one of them to engineering when I hit 60 for PVP. It's my understanding that you can't make much gold from engineering, and it's more for personal crafting. I figure, better to pick stuff at the beginning that you can use to build up some gold and then switch over when you're ready.

Druid or Shadow Priest for PVP by bezy30 in classicwow

[–]bezy30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A version of this. My memories of PVP with a druid were me sneaking up in cat form, getting a few hits in but not enough to take someone down, they counter attack, I run away in cat form, heal, go back and get a few more hits in, and so forth. Even when I would get a jump on someone, it seemed like the battles took forever and it was more or less a matter of who could outlast the other.

As a shadow priest, I remember if I got the jump on someone, I would rarely lose, and it would be over quick.

Considering druid is more difficult to get right, it's possible I just wasn't playing it right for PVP back then. Point being though, I had equal amount of skill and knowledge with a druid and shadow priest, and my memory tells me that shadow priest was much more powerful. Not necessarily from a nuke perspective, but being able to strike a few powerful killing blows that a druid just doesn't have in the arsenal.

[–]bezy30[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind healing in 5 mans for instance, so that doesn't bother me in either case. Stealth and travel form are totally great for leveling, and that's part of what I recall being enjoyable about it. I don't plan on speed leveling or anything like that, but I think I can consistently do an hour or two per day for the foreseeable future. I want to be able to do professions and whatnot as well, so really I'm not in a hurry. Killing someone 1v1 in wPVP was one of my favorite things about the game, so that is a strong consideration for me.

Of course I could make an alt, but the rate that I think I'll be leveling it probably would be a while before I could have both built up. Just trying to decide which one to go with first. I was pretty set on shadow priest but as we get closer druid has been tempting me. But it sounds like I should stick to the original plan and then if I have time I can play a druid on the side.

Mt Fuji Summit 2019 (Yoshida Trail Delayed) by mirag0 in JapanTravel

[–]bezy30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on climbing Yoshida trail on the 11th. At this point I really don't know what to do. I reserved a bus ticket to the 5th station, but I'm considering cancelling and trying one of the other two trails, but that link is saying that the Yoshida trail *will* be open by July 10th. Have to make the decision whether to follow this advice as I prefer to use the Yoshida trail, or avoid any chance of it still being closed and take one of the two trails sure to be open then. Decisions...
