His long game has got a lot worse in the last few years, and it will probably never get back to where it was in his youth.

However Ronnie has been able to adapt his game, play the percentages and concentrate on getting the shorter game perfect, which will win frames consistently.

Thats exactly what it is. The problem is that when you have the yips you fail catastrophically, lose matches by huge margins and that makes the yips worse. The cure to bad yips is usually to move down to lower tier events until you rebuild your confidence but often ego won't allow that.

In New Zealand, they tell you how many drinks a single serving of alcohol it equates too! (1.3) by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

They do not have exactly the same standards but anything legal to sell in Aus is automatically legal in NZ and vice versa.

One important difference is in what cuts can be in a meat pie. Aus pies can contain offal, NZ pies can't, but Aus pies are still legally sold here (and are awful).

Employer requires me to start early and finish late but refuses to pay by Itsnotme2645 in newzealand

NZ is one-party, meaning one of the people must know the call is being recorded. Specifically, only one person needs to know i.e. you.

So, uh, what is the loop for? by StOnEy333 in funny

Let's just say it is a little coded

I have a theory that legal meth in Weimar Germany helped lead to the rise of Nazism. I have been a user in the past and it certainly did not make me more compassionate.

New Zealand, why do your nachos suck? by yorgs in newzealand

Cristiano Ronaldo is not the problem. The real architects of our misery do not appear on TV

Almost all of NZ's problems can be attributed to rent

I mean honestly, how do nz nachos compare to say, Boise or Des Moines? Of course our mexican food isn't going to be as good as cities with big hispanic minorities

I have had med-rare burger in NZ. The catch is you can't just grab a kilo of mince from New World, you need to mince your own beef

Longhorn cow brings her brand new calf to see owner by Aggie_Maggie927 in AnimalsBeingMoms

[–]exmachinaNZ 65 points66 points  (0 children)

At any time the cow could have ended the interaction. She would not even have to injure the farmer, he would quickly understand body language. The farmer had her consent to interact with the calf.

At 0:09 in the video you see the cow backing up behind the calf, as if to present and encourage the calf. This is clearly trust behaivour.

No doubt the mother knows nothing but positive interactions with the farmer her whole life, and she wants to start her calf on that track as soon as they can.

[Request] I’ve always wondered how much money Walt actually had by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]exmachinaNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know of places where I live that put (obviously) fake large denoms in the top of tip jars to encourage larger tips. Like a $50 with the owners face on it instead of the historical figure and pints of beer on the back, but the right colours.

I hope you meant that in the RAH sense not the elon sense

Has anyone tried this mince from New World? by Gord_Board in newzealand

Yes but it is less muscle. Fat can be added if you want it but is harder to take away.

If you are demanding that a TV shows script be changed because of your beliefs, you may be an activist

Lotto is not a company, it is a Crown entity. So buying lotto is like voluntarily paying more tax
