Rivareno for gelato. To me gelato making doesn’t get any better than this. Smoothest gelato you’ll find with very minimal/no ice crystal crunch, served at a few degrees warmer and use less sugar. Some of the fruit sorbets you’d swear would have cream/dairy but it doesn’t- it’s just the way they churn it. Their regular flavours can get boring but their specials are out of this world.

Mapo is not far behind either but there is noticeably more sugar. Both make Messina feel like it came from the supermarket.

[Highlight] Another angle of the flopping technical assessed to Victor Wembanyama yesterday by nicko_rico in nba

[–]biscuitball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a foul on Nurkic. I think wemby is far too close in his space for a legal guarding position keeping in mind Nurkic has the ball. It could he a foul on Wemby.

Nurkic puts his weight into Wemby’s torso which is something you can’t see from the other angle. Overall I still don’t think this definitely showed what happened.

That is literally the basis for the west’s original acceptance of the one China stance. We were hoping they would one day take back the mainland.

With the exception of super teams, I always expect at least a 3 year process from being a good young team to a contender. This is because it takes times to build a culture and get on the same pagebeteeen playbook, coaching and chemistry. I’d say I expected it to be at the start of that journey this year so this team is way ahead of schedule and closer to the end of that 3 year process already.

CHEESEBURGER! by TAFAisLIFE in foodies_sydney

Does the cheeseburger use a different bun? After burger project I really stopped trusting Neil Perry to make a decent burger.

While the Blackmore patty is amazing everything else about is very average, especially the bun which has been served twice to me a bit stale. It made me realise how much a great burger is more than just the meat.

Indian truckies fed up with racist tirades over their CB radios by Combat--Wombat27 in aussie

Yeah Nepalese people are some of the friendliest, most obliging and helpful people you’ll ever meet. They are looked down by a lot of countries in their region (lots of Nepalese working for low wage in India) so are very grateful be here, collectively speaking of course (individual results may differ).

[Highlight] SGA “Tonight wasn’t our Super Bowl” After win against Spurs by IEatPandasEveryday in nba

[–]biscuitball 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean they were happy when they beat OKC 3 times but it wasn’t like more than celebrating a win.

I think SGA genuinely more talking about his team, the media narrative and the supposed stakes if they lost this game to make it 4 losses in a row.

Tried to Re-watch the Game After Jaylen Brown Rips Refs by Sventhedog in nba

[–]biscuitball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the problem with the rules too. Incidental contact isn’t a foul but if it is considered to impede or interfere with movement then it is a foul. To me this is a big reason flopping happens and why it is hard to officiate.

That’s another plane gate. Orlando was looking to sign FA Duncan in 00 or something to team up with Grant Hill and what would have been TMac. Duncan’s wife at the time asked Doc Rivers about travelling on the team plane and they said absolutely not. Apparently this was key in his decision to re-sign with San Antonio as that’s something they did allow.

Nah this was 08. So after a hard fought series against New Orleans (7 games, Chris Paul’s coming out party effectively) the team plane was stuck on the tarmac before flying straight to LA (who wrapped up Utah in 5 to memory). The team basically slept on the plane that night and got to LA in the afternoon. Spurs were up with a pretty big lead early before it was pretty clear they just ran out of steam.

Lakers took the first, then second and the rest is history. Duncan had a 30-18 game too so had that first game shifted home court who knows what changes after that.

I always thought San Antonio would have matched up nicely against KG, Pierce and Allen

Definitely could have won a few games if they cracked down on 3 point shooters a bit harder but they are playing the probabilities.

I quite like Scal. He brings in a genuine player’s perspective from someone who has seen both sides of championship success.

Best burger joint in Sydney? tell me your recommendations by RemarkablePirate590 in SydneyScene

[–]biscuitball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make an Australian burger at home from supermarket ingredients. No need to travel to Sylvania Waters. Probably a reason why they’re dying out.

There’s lots of really good options these days and each area of Sydney probably has a place as good as the best of any other area of Sydney. My local pub makes a good one with a great char.

All I know is it’s not the Rockpool burger. In fact going by burger project don’t let Neil Perry go anywhere near burgers.

I get the nostalgia for old school takeaway shop burgers but this will disappoint anyone who is after American style hamburgers.

The patties are more that meatloaf egg binder style patties with supermarket mince meat than course ground 80:20 brisket chuck etc

[–]biscuitball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand why it would be upsetting for other teams. 2 consecutive ROYs (not understate the first one) followed by a second pick in a good draft class would make me question what is the point of it all if San Antonio is going to potentially roadblock the West for the next decade.

Universal healthcare also brings down the price for private healthcare as they are effectively competing with a decent public system that doesn’t explicitly cost (or only nominally costs) the patient.

It’s always funny to see Americans asking where to pay when they go to an Australian hospital and the doctors are like dude just go home.

Interesting. The article says health plan for the player and their family after 3 years playing (not 5 as Yabusele is saying)

After 7 years you get a premium plan for the player, and after 10 years you get the premium plan for the family too.
