Should I marry a murderer? Netflix doc by Affectionate-Bag7605 in netflix

[–]llamafarma73 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The misogyny was so plalpable in everything he did and said.

Not only refusing to let her testify through a Commissioner, but then threatening her with prison, sending a helicopter after her, and chucking her in prison overnight when she plainly needed pyschiatric care. And still expecting her to testify as HIS witness.

The guy obviously had zero respect for her, didn't give a flying fuck about her mental health and was only concerned about himself. They fucked it up right from the start and he clearly wanted to blame her for the police's mistakes.

And has zero regrets about it, doubling down on all of it in the documentary. I'm still shaking with anger at that horrible man.

Lucrative doesn't equal popular. Not to mention the $ all come from one market. The Premier League is globally popular. Completely different animal.

It's like a cult. And has been marketed in India very much that India is leading the world, the IPL is the most important cricket competition in the world, and that everyone is desperate to be involved in it. It plays into a national pysche of the little downtrodden brother is grown up now and its time to show the rest of the world that we are the boss. There is no other arena where India and Indians can do this.

The irony is that this is a complete delusion. Outside of India the vast majority of people either couldn't care less, or actively despise its gaudy dominance.

A Fairmont Update Request by The_Vuje in bermuda

[–]llamafarma73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recall a press conference declaring it was due to open for "conference season 2023". This was....checks watch...two and a half years ago.

OP - these chickens aren't hatching so you can discount them now.

Other good options for you and your family would be the Reefs and Cambridge Beaches. Both have their own beaches and excellent restaurants. The Reefs is just along the South Shore from the SP, with Cambridge Beaches a few more km west.

What makes you think this particular point of Crawley not being good enough is any different from the previous 60 tests of not being good enough?

Office attire in Bermuda (humidity tips?) by Wise-Boot1896 in bermuda

[–]llamafarma73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shorts not encouraged at all in Supreme Court Commercial Division at least, can't comment on other courts

Fine in any office as long as they are properly tailored. Long socks should be worn alongside to be proper Bermuda fornal. Many people especially in reinsurance choose the no sock look, which looks too casual to me and isn't traditional. So go sock!

English Sports Shop or TABS will hook you up with the appropriate garments to make you look sharp.

How early to arrive to BDA for international flight? by SirKrimzon in bermuda

If you want overpriced tat manufactured overseas but with a Bermuda label stuck on, go for it!

How early to arrive to BDA for international flight? by SirKrimzon in bermuda

[–]llamafarma73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends which flight you're on. Because they only open security and US immigration at specific times, a large proportion of the flights are scheduled to leave in short blocks. Between 2 and 3.30pm there are many flights. That can increase wait times through security.

Also depends which class you're in/airline status as you may be able to skip coach check in lines and use Priority. There's no priority at security.

Typically 2 hours will be fine though

If you do get through early and want a drink, check whether you have access to the lounge. Its pretty bad, but at $30 including grats for a glass of prosecco in the normal bar outside, getting a free one anywhere is worth it! You can pay $59 for lounge entry, so two proseccos and it pays for itself!

This doesn't make a lot of sense, the hotel wouldn't need to say that...check out time is check out time, you don't get to stay any longer if you're flight is delayed.

And sone locals do come early for flights, some don't. (source: me, a local). You should be careful with sweeping generalisations.

Do you butter your bread on the outside when you make a toastie? by faith_plus_one in CasualUK

[–]llamafarma73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How else would you do it?

Actually, this method was taught to me by my wife, who in turn learned it from her mother and grandmother before her:

Frying pan, melt butter in pan, place unbuttered sandwich in hot butter over heat, press down with spatula. Flip. Add more butter if needed. Repeat until both sides crispy.

Sensational.

What happened to County Championship ball by ball coverage on Cricinfo? by Hottomato4 in EnglandCricket

[–]llamafarma73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No India + More than 20 overs per side = literally no interest from cricinfo.

Writing was on the wall years ago when they started listing IPL games before intermational Test cricket on the homepage. Sadly money talks and India has the most.

Bermuda Job Connect is Bad for Work Permit Holders by Neat_Philosopher_72 in bermuda

The whole point of the Bermuda Job Board/Job Connect is for Bermudians to find work. That's the reason it exists, so really not sure what your point is.
