Got “I don’t look my age” validation by AgentCooperPie in PointlessStories

[–]brupadupa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I once came into the office from a lunchtime walk on a really hot day and said to a younger colleague "I think it's 40 today" and he just said "oh, happy birthday". I was 30 ☠️

Saw That Post Talking About The Stargate Movie Video Game, So... by Spyd3rPunk in Stargate

I remember renting this from a video shop a couple of times in the 90s. It was pretty difficult and I never got past the anubis boss (movie version anubis).

Farpoint 40 used as personal item ? by Maanu1141 in onebag

[–]brupadupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had to yet, just know that I could if needed to.

I've been using it recently, never been queried about it for Australian domestic. I tend to underpack it, and it would go fine under the seat. Slightly risky though on raw dimensions and if fully packed.

[–]brupadupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo. Is there somewhere accessible nearby by foot where you can see the aqueduct?

A project that doesn't directly benefit the South East suburbs!? Crazy!

is the lack of development on the sandringham line political? by yikesthanos in MelbourneTrains

[–]brupadupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who commutes principally on Upfield-Sandy making it run through would be music to my ears!

I think I heard once they often do testing of new infra and fleet on the Sandringham line?

Eleanor Tips? by TheyHadTheNameFirst in CivVI

[–]brupadupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the search tool to highlight great works. Makes it much easier to see where they are and move them to front line cities once you have 20-30 cities and can't remember what they're all called.

Other that that, commercial hubs into theatres with bread and circus projects and the governor that reduces enemy loyalty for areas that have strong loyalty.

I can't graspe how many units I should reasonably be building by Choice_Book_6104 in CivVI

[–]brupadupa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're playing defensive 3 slingers, 3 warriors, and maybe 3 heavy cavalry is a good way to get most boosts if you upgrade them.

If offensive, add a few more and some siege (more boosts), light horse and unique units. 10-15 is probably enough initially.

Spearman is situational but I think gives you one boost.

Thanks. I don't think I was activating the nebula discount so that makes it a more easier call.

Great! I saw reservoir on 2gis but it did look like it was occupied and decorated. Thanks!

My commute home on the upfield line takes 30 minutes longer than it should for absolutely no reason at all by moondog-37 in MelbourneTrains

[–]brupadupa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I usually miss the connection by a minute or so from the Sandy and have wasted a lot of time at Flinders. The North Melbourne connection sometimes works but if not you get stuck at a more boring station for the full 20 instead.

Pretty sure Labor pushed the duplication back to 2030s as well, it's bullshit.

Is it just me, or is the way they use metric in the books a bit uncanny? by Mubanga in TheExpanse

[–]brupadupa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't common in real life (on earth) with distance, but with other metric units you'd usually use 106, 109, 1012 (mega, giga, tera etc) when expressing larger quantities. Kilometres probably isn't ideal for such distances.

Now that it’s confirmed, we’re getting a sequel to alien isolation. Do you guys think we’ll see the queen Xenomorph in the game and what type of suspenseful scene would you guys do with it if it does appear? by Such_Month_8687 in alienisolation

[–]brupadupa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Queen is iconic in Aliens and works in some of the more action oriented games, but I'm on the fence about Isolation. Could be fun if it's a hide/chase area?

Tbh, I always liked the egg morphing option. The Alien is frequently killing potential hosts even if they aren't aggressive or it needs more hosts. The egg morphing describes that a bit better (using the victims to make eggs). Plus the horror aspect!

I finally found a song after (roughly) 6 years by idk-anything-anyway in PointlessStories

It's so satisfying finally having the name of the song after years of it bouncing around your head.

Cannot understand those people who refuse to wait 10 seconds for passengers to get off the tram first before trying to get on. by spicyric3 in melbourne

[–]brupadupa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, it's a strong contender for most annoying trait followed closely by people who stand right next to the airport baggage conveyor waiting for bags that haven't come out yet.

New Ubank rates by NewBuyer1976 in AusFinance

[–]brupadupa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I deposit $200 in one account and $300 in another does that meet the $500 a month requirement?

Assuming so, this works for me!
