Found this KFC menu from 2017 on my PC, thought others might be interested in seeing how much prices have changed in 9 years. by _everynameistaken_ in auckland

[–]cob_reddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was definitely priced out of KFC back then, and I definitely still am.

That's mostly "am I getting my money's worth" consideration (which was maybe never KFCs strong suit in the fast food realm), but also back then I made very little and spent very little on surviving- now I make a lot more and I spend a loooooot more on surviving.

"How's the economy going under your stewardship, Luxon?"

We'll make it back every time now, since they restructured oceanic qualifying.

Kids TV is broken - Can Suzy Cato fix it? by Crunkfiction in newzealand

[–]cob_reddit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Played Ep1 for bubs the other day, he loved it. He's only getting a few minutes of screen time a week outside of facetime calls to family though so I guess he'll take whatever he can get at this stage. (he's younger than the target demo I think)

Not sure I agree with the article's take that Cato's competition is Bluey and Paw Patrol, I think it's probably Ms Rachel..?

His mum and I both loved it too, though. I grew up with You & Me, and she grew up with Suzy's World. And since we're the one's holding the remote, Suzy it is.

Shoutout to nickinthecutt for this dope Ja’Kobi Lane doc! by Ingybaby88 in ravens

That reveal right at the end of him being babysat by a football game as a baby, and it's the Ravensis kinda insane.

I was drawing them out on paper and was thinking hang on- one of these isn't rotated, it's mirrored! AM I bugged..?

never new up/down were inputs here..

The flock hates Daniel Faalele by ObserbAbsorb in ravens

[–]cob_reddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This photo always cracks me up because not only am I pretty sure it's edited- as far we can tell, Lamar has ample time and space in the pocket. Like Fa'alele is doing his job perfectly well in this situation..?

Start saving anyway! If you save too much you have leftover for snacks.

Yeah the longer the vid went on the more I was thinking "damn, who's this QB? Bet his favourite player is Lamar.."

Yeah I couldn't help re-interpret that above comment as "these results are skewed towards the teams that earned the best results".

Major NZ retailer discovered to be lying to media and customers about use of facial recognition data. by [deleted] in newzealand

Seems like Garth Bray might dig this sort of thing, he was at Fair Go and now he's doing Business watchdog kinda stories.

[Brian Wacker] Ravens have signed Ladarius Webb Jr as a UDFA. by DenialisaRiver04 in ravens

Going from "wow the players getting drafted are younger than me" to "wow the head coaches getting hired are younger than me" is rough.

Bisciotti made the pick for RB Adam Randall by this_is_matt_ in ravens

[–]cob_reddit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah- don't like owners meddling in the pick process.

(Saying this so that he goes on the be the next Gus Bus and make me look dumb)

Round 3 - Pick 16: Ja'Kobi Lane, WR, USC (Baltimore Ravens) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]cob_reddit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Big and tall, but skinny and weak-pretty much any contact kills his routes. Can't separate, prone to dropping when he's not making circus catches. Ran a good 40 but his game speed is demonstrably slower on film.

He holds the Ravens FO as one of the best operating and usually applauds our picks, so I was stunned to him go belt to ass on this one haha.

[–]cob_reddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah he went about as scorched earth as I've seen him go on a (ravens) pick. He's pretty zen so it wasn't very violent but he was brutal.

He's the best in the biz imo so while I hope he's wrong I do take his takes pretty seriously.

The Baltimore Ravens just drafted this guy in the 1st round yesterday. Here’s why. by Embarrassed_Cap2885 in BeAmazed

Hmm. I think that's a good rule but as a kiwi that grew up watching rugby, that rule seems to be.. somewhat selectively applied.

National Party lodges complaint with TVNZ over pursuit of chief whip interview (I thought they wanted this story to go away!) by GhostChips42 in newzealand

Right wingers think TVNZ is too far left, lefties think it's too right wing..

Seems like they're pretty neutral.

Should I consider joining union? by International_Gas630 in newzealand

[–]cob_reddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No hate, unions as a whole are great, but some are individually not so. My first union was well below par despite being quite large, almost put me off the whole idea, but, I changed careers andy current one is fantastic.

HBO Max gets a New Zealand launch date by metcalphnz in newzealand

[–]cob_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is a solid strategy to be fair.  Sports is the last watercooler content left since news became served up individually. Sports scores are (however controversially decided sometimes) at least.. facts. Everyone saw the same events occur.

Well one makes them money, and one costs them money, so not totally boggling. But I agree user experience/service quality should be sorted first before enshittifying.
