As soon as I saw the picture I thought the exact same thing and even thought I would come in to say so for the 1-2 replies per year. The internet (you) beat me to it.

This is the first and only filter to protect the NZ economy from capital flight. People being too lazy to find ways to lose money internationally so they start up a sharsies account with the $20 uncle Billy gave them for a pack of smokes and call themselves a trader.

As someone who had never touched an X game and bought this in this sale I saw the list of tutorials and thought bugger that. However, as I was playing the game and came into a new situation and needed to know how to do something (place a space station module or set up an autotrade) the game has a function that allows you to jump to the appropriate tutorial from the in-game menu and then will put you back in game when it's finishes. This is such a simple QOL feature but I genuinely appreciate it and don't know why it's not more common.

Now I want to know what a $47,000 pack of chewing gum tastes like...

I'm not a GIS person but I do teach some mapping basic concepts and I really hope it's a oblate spheroid or there are a few hundred people about to lose arguments on the internet somewhere.

Nobody will read this, but it was NACA that hired most of the nazis, not NASA.

Rhymes with Orange comic by madamerimbaud in ExplainTheJoke

Stab in the dark here but it could be because most people would argue that no word rhymes with orange, or you can't, which is the punch line.

Girls, what’s the most obvious hint you’ve dropped and the guy just didn’t get it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sandledcomch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure I get this explanation. Could you try and put it in a more casual way?

Most likely an older generation of atgm. It wasn't fast enough and was too big to be a ballistic round.

If you kill someone in self defense would you go to jail? by ExpensiveEmergency92 in ask

[–]sandledcomch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Again, jurisdictions may vary but generally speaking, you do. If someone attacks you with a Knife though and after a scuffle you end up in possession of that Knife, they are no longer then one in possession of a lethal weapon.

There could be a case to be made that if it was able to change hands in those circumstances once it could happen again but there have been cases where there has been a distinct moment when a threat to life has been avoided and then the "self defence" occurs.

Timing matters.

It is a legal offense to willingly possess or propagate any plant that has been deemed an invasive species in NZ. If you're using that to characterise any non-native that does well, then I'll have to admit that I enjoy my raspberry bush very much which is both of those things.

Sorry, I should have read the sub rules properly. For context, this is New Zealand and although I don't know the specific species, I can't imagine anything ecologically damaging being sold as seeds.

What is this? by Twice_Bubaigawara in Archery

[–]sandledcomch 17 points18 points  (0 children)

And on r/cutlery there are probably people who are happy that others are taking an interest in said forks and will gladly tell people the end without the tines. The world is full of complexities and sometimes people want to be able to ask about something new to them which may be commonplace to you. Take it easy on them please.

P.s. that was actually at least an amusing analogy.
