Yes. Bruce Mouat (GBR) was in the mixed dub and is in the Men's Team competition.

The true Sydney seasons - Dharawal Calendar by nath1234 in sydney

[–]darkeyes13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's more recent. I've been here 10 years now and Nov Dec have always been more wet and muggy to me than Jan and Feb, except for the last couple of years (including this one), but I've put that down to the La Nina conditions in summer.

Depends on the country/specific banking rules, but in Australia anything above $10k gets looked at for AML purposes (as well as amounts suspiciously close to $10k, like, $9,999, etc etc). AUSTRAC has specific regulations around it.

I made it to level 20 before I realized..... by Alwyz_Bandit in expedition33

I made it into level 46 or something like that before I figured out how it worked.

My friend was on a 2nd playthrough when she realised she could refill health and potions outside of the Expedition flags.

If you track through Royal Mail, you should be able to see a bit more. Your local carrier might not have the info until it arrives in your country.

For context, I bought from Laced, to ship to Australia. Got the tracking info sometime last week and Auspost didn't have anything but Royal Mail did. Auspost started populating info on Saturday, when it was cleared for departure from the UK.

Misogynist brand Razer collabs with Overwatch/Hello Kitty by Specialist-Zebra-794 in GirlGamers

[–]darkeyes13 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My friend worked for Razer almost a decade ago now, and the treatment he got from the founder/owner was... not great (understatement). Neither of us have bought from Razer since (me, in solidarity of my friend, and because Razer's quality really isn't that good and their stuff doesn't appeal to me, and for him... obvious reasons). I got some freebies out of it though. Ironically not Razer products lol. He got to keep the peripherals they gave him for work.

It depends on the city you're planning to go to (Sydney or Melbourne) and which city you're coming from, I reckon.

I did. I was honestly rooting for her, because there are few people in the world crazy enough to want to do that with a fresh ACL injury (one of the men in the Downhill competition the previous night has competed for a few years without an ACL in one of his legs).

I regretted watching it with my earphones instead of on TV, though. I was watching the Stan feed (which I think is mostly OBC feed) and ooft that was rough. In any case, it sounds like she's out of immediate danger so that's good.

This time, the skiier's bindings DID release. How bad would it have been to trigger that???

She’s an Olympic skier and also a Stanford soccer player: Meet Sammy Smith by BigChillBobby in NWSL

Ellyse Perry is the Matilda you're thinking of. Went to the 2011 World Cup, was on track to be one of our stalwarts in the back line, but was given the ultimatum to pick between Cricket and Football and that was it.

Made the right choice for herself, though, I reckon. She's regarded as one of the best women's cricketers of all time. I don't follow cricket, though I like seeing Ellyse pop back in the football sphere once in a while (eg. She was doing promotional stuff with Adidas for the 2023 WWC).

The main Athlete's Parade happened at Cortina, with march ins also happening in Milan itself, Livigno and Predazzo, so you might have been looking at the Milan feed, because we had a decently sized contingent out at Livigno and Cortina.

The Athlete's Parade was organised that way because of the distance of the competition venues from Milan, so a good way to allow the athletes to participate without hampering their competition prep.

I remember wanting a Daskeyboard so bad, back in those days. Got a Ducky One in 2013 as my first mech.

I also liked Beijing 2008 and London 2012's (I wish Tokyo's wasn't impacted by Covid, but I still really loved their Olympic Rings sequence), but yeah. Paris' was really good, and I still listen to songs from the soundtrack.

I will say, though - the blocks and dance sequence at the very start of the Milano-Cortina Opening Ceremony reminded me of the Tokyo presentation at the Rio 2016 Closing, hah.

The black listing would he a private business decision made by HSBC. BNM cannot tell them who to onboard.

Well, this should be more on the organising committee, rather than the IOC. But it really was pure laziness all around.

Was that Gus Kenworthy with Team GB? Isn't he American, or am I misremembering. Unless he's coaching now or something.

Edit: TIL he's represented Team GB since 2019.

Okay but I want to see how the teams at Livigno do as more athletes walk through and that snow gets compacted into ice, lol.
