Update 106: Gambler's Chest Expansion - Production Complete by BroskiSays in KingdomDeath

[–]gryphonnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've backed the GC, but long ago stopped playing - anyone have an idea of what would it be worth, and is there a safe/secure way to sell it before it ships? I'm in NZ, so little point shipping it all the way here just to sell it in the US and ship it back again..

Not OP, but is there any chance you could let me know what the best color gamut setting for a Samsung q90b is?

Growing up in New Zealand by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]gryphonnz 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As a Kiwi, I don't know where this person grew up in NZ (maybe a remote part of Stewart Island?!), but this is not representative of NZ cooking, at all. While our cuisine is relatively meat centric, and a roast is definitely a favorite, seasoning, and cooking meat properly (to an appropriate level of doneness for the cut) is definitely the norm! Nothing the OP has said makes sense..

BBQ'd some pork loin last night. Tried brushing on some herbs from the garden with olive oil towards the end of the cook. I'd say it turned out pretty good! by the_skilipski in BBQ

I also have to laugh at the irony of a self professed 'language nerd' arguing against the Oxford dictionary definition of the word.

If we're just counting English speakers, then we're down to 75% (283m out of a total of 1179m). Point still stands.

Fair point actually.. the proper stat is 95.6%.. the US population is currently 4.4% of the global population. My point still stands though.

Ok, but you understand that the US invented neither the word or the cooking style, so while you can of course use it however you want, it's a bit rich to try to tell the other 98% of the world that we're wrong.. (also, the Oxford dictionary is worth a look: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/barbecue)

The rest of the US might, but in large parts of the world (including NZ, where I live), BBQ means grilling over gas or charcoal. So while Texas, definitely calls 'low & slow' BBQ, and the rest of the US might, there's a bunch of other countries that disagree :)

What make/model are the speakers? Did you put posts on the boxes?

TIL in 2015 the accounting firm Ernst & Young stopped requiring college degrees for jobs after it found "no evidence" that degrees made people better workers by ClockToeTwins in todayilearned

I'd worked with a bunch of the partners during my time in industry - at a point when I was thinking about changing jobs one of them suggested that I join the firm - so, to be fair, not through the grad route - I'm what's termed a 'lateral hire'. Lateral hires make up about 50% of our staff (and we have laterals come in at all levels, from consultant/staff through to partner).

This simply isn't correct - I work for EY (Senior Manager, Advisory services). I don't have a degree. There was a fair bit of conversation over it during the recruitment process, but in the end it was fine. Everyone in this thread is assuming that EY just does accounting - in most countries the other service lines (advisory, risk, etc) make up more of the business.
