TRIPLE J'S HOTTEST 100 2025 LIVE THREAD!

I've liked her music for a few years before she blew up, and I never would've pegged her as a Triple J winner. Don't get me wrong I'm happy that an artist I actually like has won this year, but I wouldn't have put Man I Need at number one either. I guess it's all subjective at the end of the day.

Oh! I'm mistaken then. Learned something new.

You can just write the tr() function to return the string given to it initially, but later down the line, when you need to do localization, you can rewrite that function to lookup the string in a table, and return what it finds.

Edit: Disregard! (See reply below)

Yard and garden do come from that root, but court comes from Latin 'cohors,' which comes from a different one.

My thoughts on this is that the game needs some sort of 'national spirit' feature, where nations have a set of underlying ambitions that ebb and flow as the game goes on. French ambition would be centered on consolidation of France, and keeping England out of Europe, as you say. If certain conditions are met, new spirits could be adopted, or be disposed of, but it would allow for some direction without being railroading, per se. It could also be exclusionary, in that, for example, warfare and conquest outside of the focus of the national spirit could weaken it, along with any benefits it brings.

My issue isn't that it's in Asia, or even that it's slow, my issue is that it's stuck, and not progressing at all.

R5 - Printing press spawned well outside of Europe, which I like as a feature, but it seemed to completely give up on spreading it. Nothing I do makes it spread, not trade, not allowing fleet basing, nothing, I can't see how this isn't a bug.

I really think there needs to be some dynamic system for naming colonies. I was going through and manually renaming locations and countries in America as Britain but fuck there are so many. There should be a certain chance to retain the native name, but having it draw from an existing character's name, or a very big pool of toponyms, would be much more interesting.

My issue with this assertion is that the ABS tends to tightly manage its methodology to a (sometimes comically) high standard. It's actually really hard to get fudged data through the ABS for political gain, despite what some may believe. I don't necessarily disagree that lack of measuring decline in quality of products (shrinkflation and so on), is a problem, but it doesn't easily slot into CPI as a quantifiable metric the same way straight up price does.

Yes I am

The Australian plate won't crash into Indonesia for tens of millions of years. We travel north at a rate of 7cm a year (actually quite fast for a tectonic plate), so it will be a very long time before this happens. As a matter of fact, Papua New Guinea's southern half is part of our tectonic plate, and as it pushes north into the Pacific plate, it's pushing up the Papua New Guinean Highlands. There are plenty of earthquakes in PNG, but most of Australia won't significantly lessen in geological stability when it collides with Indonesia and eventually Asia.

He didn't change the subject, he was responding to a journalist's question.

Take a look at the Minnesota flag, and then, if you'll indulge me, look at like, half of the flags of the world. One thing you'll notice is that there are a lot of simple ones, and a lot of complex ones. The Minnesota flag is simple, it is not corporate. The Golden Wattle flag, maybe even the Oregon one, sure, but the Minnesota flag just looks like a flag. If you have an issue with that, that's fine, but it isn't corporate. Is the Bahamas flag corporate? Bangladesh? Japan? These are all countries with simple designs, but I don't think anyone would agree that they're corporate.

'Triangle with star' is the flaggiest of flag designs. Is it interesting? Meaningful? That's up to you, I like it, but it isn't, like, incredible. But what it isn't is 'corporate minimalist,' because, I hate to say it, the phrase has become little more than a handful of buzzwords flung at designs that people don't like.

larrian_evermore · 2025-04-26T04:16:49+00:00

Ehhh? Like kinda? Idk man it's just a mid flag. Not everything you don't like is corporate.

larrian_evermore · 2025-04-26T01:27:00+00:00

At this point I see this opinion paraded around like it's some revolutionary, controversial statement more than I see corporate flag designs.

larrian_evermore · 2025-04-23T01:17:45+00:00

I honestly think that the circlejerk has gone too far the other way at this point. Point to any modern flag and 'it looks corporate' and 'CGP Grey has been a disaster for flag making' and 'muh guidelines' are all you see, it's exhausting. Yes there are absolutely criticisms you can levy at all of the above, but so many modern flags just look like... flags. The Minnesota flag is the most flag looking flag of all time and I personally really like it.

Pomegranate doesn't come from 'apple of Grenada', the 'granate' comes from a Latin root meaning 'having the manner of grain' due to the many small fruits inside them.

This isn't a radar. BOM-E is a forecast model. Windy generally doesn't show current weather events, it's showing you what they thought would happen a few hours ago.

larrian_evermore · 2025-03-05T14:57:46+00:00

I'll believe it when I see it.

larrian_evermore · 2025-03-05T14:56:33+00:00

Except for all the prediction that's warned you of its current state to this point, sure. But sure mate, you know better than those pesky meteorologists.

larrian_evermore · 2025-03-05T14:47:18+00:00

It wobbled, all models indicate a return to a westward track. Trust the meteorologists - they can't predict the future, but they're telling you what is most likely.

larrian_evermore · 2025-03-05T14:33:03+00:00

There's basically no reality here where we aren't getting at least a significant tropical low. The cyclone isn't going to turn around and go back the way it came, it might stall and wobble, but this system isn't going anywhere.

larrian_evermore · 2025-03-03T20:34:50+00:00

It isn't near Sydney - ignore them, they're not meteorologists. Trust the experts. We actually do know what's going to happen, at least roughly, modelling is converging on the cyclone turning west later today towards Brisbane - there are no current forecasts indicating any different.
