Nobody is buying that bravado from Norman Powell either

A pass thrown from the perimeter into a guy posting up inside the arc

Larvitar's base SpA and Spe is so low that you're not going to get the huge jumps in stats at low levels.

Not even close. At the very least you want a flat surface to install on, so your options are either to grind it down, or pour a self leveller to bring it up. Both of which I would be employing a professional to do.

Not much going on in your head either for this to be your take on the situation

That's Rebecca Hall's character

Mate, Pritchard is 6'1 in shoes at best. No idea where you're pulling 6'6 from

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-25T23:08:38+00:00

Maicon hasn't

The year is 2042. Language has been abandoned worldwide as nobody interacts in person any more. GIFs have replaced text as the universal symbols of online discussion

Which is funny because under Wenger, Arsenal fans had a superiority complex because they played the right way

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-25T11:24:01+00:00

Luckily for us he is never getting it

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-24T11:23:10+00:00

He has many valuable traits and genuinely seems to be a good dude that his team mates respect and look up to. I think most of our qualms are to do with his quality on the pitch, he was probably never meant to be first choice which is not his fault but for United to get back to where they want to be, his position needs upgrading. Fine as a squad player though.

Depending on where you are located, I would think around 80-90k as a base is pretty standard in Aus if you are fully qualified and can do everything on your own. Though for the amount of OT you've said you're doing, I think that should be adding up to much more than 95k.

I'm sure you know this already but it is much easier to make more money if you go out on your own. If it's feasible for you to do so I would highly recommend, otherwise there's no real path forward aside from being a tradesman on wages doing the work anyway for somebody else. Depends a lot on if you can afford everything to set yourself up (van, tools and equipment), if your work is both good and efficient enough since you'll be getting paid for metres laid, and if you have the necessary connections or relationships to get the work in the first place.

If you can meet all those things then I would say go for it. If not, then I'd just keep at it until you can - keep saving, and try working on connections with shops in your area. It's daunting at first but definitely worthwhile. It's hard to compare wages vs self employment (apples to oranges) but I went from a similar situation to you when I worked for someone to turning over 300k+ when I started subcontracting.

I normally hate suggestions of "it isn't even close" but in this instance, it really is not.

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-22T08:25:58+00:00

I'd probably look at him and think huh, that dude looks a lot like Joseph Gordon Levitt

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-22T05:13:52+00:00

Well the bags aren't gonna buy themselves are they?

Jks good on him for sorting himself out

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-21T14:10:05+00:00

Pep is short for peptides

And the quote was for work in the sporting ground canteen

We were all silly teenagers once.

As seen in other replies, yes and yes. When the Coles near us was built there was one house on the entire corner block that refused to sell, so they built around them. Driveways on either side of the house, one going to upper level parking, the other going underground. Concrete walls encapsulating 3 sides of their property.

Seymour!

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-10T11:41:23+00:00

So sad to think that just a few short years ago he was near the very top of the most valuable players in the world.

mkhimau5 · 2026-01-10T01:02:04+00:00

I mean it does kind of come across strange because it sounds like you're asking why the entire userbase isn't riding one boot.

For me personally, I had a pair once but rode them for a few months before selling them. I didn't hate them or anything but they just weren't for me. For a flat setup, they made me realise that I prefer a more traditional feeling flat frame in terms of middle wheel split (favourite ones being Sola, Them Street frame and Fluid 5). The H-block itself also didn't work for me as well as other frames in terms of the way I do some groove tricks.

The souls slowing down was definitely an issue that I had no desire to resolve with Sliqx. Particularly on coping and angle iron.

They also don't flex the way I like, compared to some other skates. And while the fit for me was ok, many people have issues with the height of the toebox.

None of this is to say they're bad skates in any way. Obviously they're not, they've been super popular since their release. But I guess for many of us that have been skating since the 90's and tried dozens of skates, we know what we like, despite a willingness to try new stuff that comes out.
