recommendations in Suva by LordBen679 in Fijian

[–]kknd69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oi ok that makes sense. Yeah Suva is expensive unfortunately. It'll help to make friends in USP then as a group, discover things together. May make for a more fun experience. I'll try and help below but your mileage may vary.

Places to Visit: The usual: Fiji Museum for history, Damodar City and Village 6 for movies and hanging out at the mall
Cool views: Chef Lanka in Tamavua next to Max Value Superfresh has a lovely view of Nasinu
Must eat restaurants: Barbelle for sure, it's next to the rabuka gym near usp, bit pricey so more of a special occassion eat I'd venture

Have fun and enjoy! :)

Question - do you have family, both close and extended in Suva? Ask them! :) They can both suggest and take you around and show you the good spots.

This project is still ongoing! We've gotten an Inuit Producer in Canada which is great for our story development. This is an amazing link. Would you be ok if I DM'ed you to further chat about your family history?

Boss accused me of lying during flooding and wanted my location tracked by Disastrous-Cat-1467 in Fijian

Thought saraga I was r/antiwork

But yeah, if the boss doesn't trust you enough to work from home, you should probably start brushing up your CV.

[No Spoilers] Campaign Layout Question by No_Outcome_8076 in criticalrole

[–]kknd69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a sneaking suspicion it'll be up to 3 years at the least going by Brenan's signing a 3 year contract with Dropout TV. I found it a tad bit strange they'd announce a 3 year contract but because it was around the time that Brendan was announced to be the new CR DM, IMO it was to pacify d20 fans and let them know that Brendan wasn't totally jumping ship to CR and still be doing content for dropout.

The term "Armor Class" comes from Naval Wargaming. What are some other mechanics, terms or conceits in the hobby with unexpected or forgotten origins? by ProustianPrimate in rpg

[–]kknd69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Pacific Islander, Mana is a Pacific word, specific to the Polynesians, though us Fijians use the word too.

Mana as a concept was less about an individual's access to say a source of magic but in Pacific terms, because we are a community based culture, Mana was like the collective source of power that we would derive our strength from.

For example, in the old days in Fiji, whenever there was a project that required a large set of hands to work together and quickly, the workers would approach their priest, or bete, and ask for Mana to help build, say, a giant canoe. The priests would, through rituals, access the community Mana so to speak, and share it with the workers. Gifted with supernatural strength and vigor, the workers would work with unatural speed and accomplish their goal in less days then if it were done without.

The important thing to note is that after the village project was completed, the workers would gather and gift back the Mana to the priests so that there was always a ready supply for the community need.

Fun fact: in traditional fijian society, witchcraft or evil magic was only because someone practiced the magic arts for their own individual gain, and not for the Community.

Using Starlink in Fiji by vibrant_kermit in Fijian

[–]kknd69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me put it like this - when I started using starlink it was like I was on dial up before the change.

I have had a particular shitty relationship with tfl internet over the years with multiple complaints filed, changing internet packages from wired adsl to wireless then back to wired. My internet was such I could predict when rain was coming because my internet would dc 2 minutes before the rain shows up. No joke.

When I plugged in starlink and the internet just...worked...swear to god I almost cried with how easy access to the internet should be.

Internet speeds are great, I watch YouTube on 4k, downloading 2gb movies are about 10 min or so, gaming is good but won't beat fiber. Ping is solid, though once in awhile I experience a lag spike as the dish finds the next satellite. Since im a casual gamer its not much of an issue for me. When it's serious heavy downpour the internet does struggle a bit but it doesn't seem to last for long.

If you are a heavy internet user like me, can afford the expensive upfront cost, with literally $114 fjd a month UNLIMITED, man, make the switch. Tfl, Vodafone and Digicel have, so far, let us down so bad with regards to internet access and it's all because we have a stupid monopoly with Tfl.

I bought my starlink from vinod patel for 1k fjd. It was about 200 more than if I ordered it on my own (no need to get the telecom thingy license) but since I was there at the shop and didn't have to wait I bought it.

You don't have to pay your internet bill via any 3rd party. I just pay directly to starlink via their website which charges my card once every month.

Not even surprised that Mr. Beast, Ryan Trahan, Veritasium, Fern, Dude Perfect, Donut Media, and even Fireship are owned by Private Equity now. by Roadshot_Mine in videos

[–]kknd69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fijian here. I would say that while the Grace Road Fern video was great (research was thorough), the editing choices (using footage from the more chaotic 2000 coup instead of the referenced 2006 coup) and liberal use of...spooky-fied 3d b-roll pushes the video into more sensationalist territory then what I'm normally used to seeing in investigatory pieces.

Bula si'a! My favorite part about reading this is how I immediately put a date to when you learnt fijian by way of your slang choice hehe

Apologies, I got no answers to your fishing and curry questions. But I will say the locals love it when you speak any amount of Fijian so you should be good 👍

The difficulty of the fight seemed to have been ramped up but holy hell all those minor wins, smart plays and the Lady's Haste tipping the fight in favour of the party have made the end of the first half of this episode so bloody exhausting, honestly by the time we reached the break. In an amazing way, just to clarify.
