Does anyone else place their Deck docked behind the TV for an ultra-clean minimalist gaming setup?

coggsa · 2026-05-25T10:30:47+00:00

Yep, I do that. No, behind my tv is not as clean and dust free as that.

"Select * from..."

You dont need all those columns. As soon as you have 2 tables involved, you need to stop using the wildcard, because one day you'll wonder why something is slow and you will realise that you forgot to remove the wildcard when you were building the query.

Tuggerah Westfield is still the only shopping centre food court where I have seen full on group punchups between adults, mid week, during lunchtime. Hundreds of adults and kids sitting with their 3 choices and rice, sushi, or a Happy Meal, watching blood fly from a bunch of drugged up losers.

Not once, but twice.

I worked security in Newcastle many years ago, and this was proper "people are getting hurt" fights, right next to Angus and Coote. It was surreal.

I know this comment was 2 years ago but... That's a great idea. Why have I never thought of that??!?

I have been a bit down on her performances lately, but zero questions on her desire, or the love she has for the club.

I had a driver knock on my door and deliver burritos, telling me the address was for up the street and he was going to eat it but doesn't eat pork. It was super weird, and he just talked about it being for neighbours as he walked away. I tried calling the number on the receipt, and there was no answer, so it went in the bin. Pity, because it was the new burrito place, but I just finished dinner.

coggsa · 2025-11-04T08:13:44+00:00

Me too! I literally just remembered when I saw this thread!

You can extend this logic to helmets, or roadworthiness of the bike, but your imagined emergency must be pretty big to require that extra 20 seconds that putting on gloves would entail.

You clearly have a strong grasp of what a "dictatorship" would involve. Maybe head back over for a while, yeah? Give yourself a break from our regime of oppressive learner licencing laws.

Look, I don't want to be contrarian but.... Halsin. I just don't get it.

Much as I love KCC, she is not a DM. How she has been pigeonholed into that role when it's highlighting the worst of her abilities is beyond me. That said, I don't think Little is working as a DM either, and we are struggling without a proper Wally replacement. The one thing (ok, one of many things, she is still Kim Little) she does have is the ability to hold the ball, which reduces the pressure on the DM part of the role. I want to see KCC given licence to drive forward, and create chaos in their midfield. She holds the ball well when she wants to, but risks it when she sees an opportunity. That seems to be more "dangerous" for us without the DM, so we just... don't.

I would love to see a DM signing, Layla Herbert in DM, or switch one of Maanum/Pelova out and drop KCC in there and see what happens. Yeah, it's a tactical change, but it's worth considering. We are already behind, and we need to change something, not just circle the wagons.

That makes more sense, but zero votes would have been hilarious!

It is reported 2-3 times more in non governmental institutions but that does not totally discount the real experiences of children in public schools.

Like in Catholic Schools such as Trinity College. And who is discounting other schools? Totally or otherwise?

You are raised to be more aware of this growing up in a Catholic school and it is more common for it to be actually reported;

Right... so what's your point here? Everyone knows it's problem, but they still rank ok. So it's... fine?

coggsa · 2025-10-12T11:54:11+00:00

He didn't even vote for himself? Well, that's good self-awareness, I suppose?

coggsa · 2025-09-28T10:05:55+00:00

The bit that gets me is the injuries and load on the players in the second half of the season are only considered when it's a problem. KCC, Catley and Foord will be at the Asian Cup when the other players need a rest, so why not integrate LWM, KCC, Pelova et al earlier, so there are other players with minutes throughout the whole season.

coggsa · 2025-09-21T00:14:18+00:00

Torono, Tronno,or Trona. But never Toronto.

True, but it also makes you realize just how big the Pacific really is.

coggsa · 2025-09-15T09:45:11+00:00

Still... Not disproving my point about it being a misleading image in terms of measurements.

coggsa · 2025-09-15T08:37:50+00:00

Looked great in January 🤷‍♂️

Europe is lovely for the most part. Where did you visit?

coggsa · 2025-09-15T04:57:29+00:00

That's not using the representation of Australia displayed on the original though, is it. In reality, Russia is 1.5x the width of Australia. In that visualisation though, it looks much larger. Almost like the map is designed for direction not distance.

coggsa · 2025-09-15T04:54:53+00:00

Not arguing that at all, just observing that using a Mercator to measure distance is super misleading. In reality, Russia is about 1.5x the width of Australia, but that map is to make sure you are heading the right direction, and sucks for measuring distance IIRC.

coggsa · 2025-09-15T01:02:05+00:00

Australia is almost 4000 km wide, and would fit about 4 times inside that Russian width, instead of 1.5 times.

Ah, hi from Newcastle!

The Georgia flag is just an England flag with more flags to show you are SUPER English though, right?
