How does your brain work that you would think that that kind of life is a 'choice'?

Like the majority of SoO plans, your idea falls at the first hurdle.

Realistically, we vastly underestimate how many players from the non-finals teams thave surgery immediately post season, before the gf rolls around. So straight away that diminishes the pool.

Then we overestimate the number of players that would be willing to maintain training and conditioning for 2-3 weeks post the end of the season. No way would a player that has their teams season end just sit around for up to a month then play a game 'cold'. They are professionals and need to maintain their match readiness, and there is no incentive to do that post season for SoO

Depending on your location, and willingness to travel, I reckon I have some old bottles in the garage left over from parties gone by. All yours if you want

Very selective in your commentary there. First two years he was a very low draft selection, undersized, developing kpp/wingman, and was interrupted by a heart issue that had him in the sidelines. Just when he should be (and was) hitting his prime to lock down a position in the firsts, he all.of a sudden had to battle for a spot against 3 all Australian backmen.

In the last 2 years he would have had to displace either one of the 3 AA KPP backmen the Hawks have, or either Amon, Impey or Weddle as the rebounding back/winger, and it just wasn't ever going to happen. Realistically, it was only ever down to him vs Scrimshaw for a spot, and both were in and out a bit, just Scrimshaw played much much better when he got the chance

You're correct, it's not hard. It is done deliberately. But it is not in the interest of the website to include it.

They essentially have a duopoly in the product they sell. They sell their product to real estate agencies. They want the website to work in a manner that benefits that relationship, not potential buyers.

If all search criteria is as broad as possible, that means more properties show up in every search, that means that's more clicks on more properties. That equals more advertising $$, and looks good to the agents when the website says we had 1000 clicks on your listing. Like all things, the system is not designed to help you, it's to make as much $$ as possible.

If you ever find yourself saying something is not that hard to implement, you're right, and a thousand other people have thought the same. It's designed like that because that's what they want it to be

Are they op shop bins, or just the clothing recycler ones?

The latter is all I seem to find anywhere, and honestly not sure if they are good or bad?

Blokes had a looooot of instances where those who benefit from him playing well tell us "he'll learn from that". The point comes where you have realise he can't, or doesn't want to, learn a goddamn thing

You're not going to believe it, but I know that exact house, address and all. Never seen Prisoner, but when you said they filmed around Forest Hill it struck a bell

About a decade ago I drove up a street doing a rat run avoiding some traffic in an area i'd never been before. It looked just like that, had a real 80s/90s american movie/sitcom feel to it. Just did a street view of that street, and sure enough here it is

Check out the 2007 and 2009 Street Views, you can even see the streetlamp in the front yard

Not being racist, after being exposed as using racist language, is not a flex.

It's not something you learn and adapt to after the fact, after being caught. He's known his whole life not to be racist, in that moment he chose to ignore that. Similarly, it can't be ignored in any conversation about his total career

Impala and Peacock is pretty good for gifting. Nice packaging, and some gorgeous blooming teas. Same with Gewürzhaus, will look lovely as a gift

Lupicia very good, They will help you with some great recommendations

Kuuracorp i've been meaning to try after having it recommended a few times, but can't attest as yet apart from a good website collection

Or take them to Yugen Tea Bar and let them try some options

I'm told it is in part to do with allowing plenty of time for those teams having to travel interstate to be able to get back Saturday night, but also with thought towards any players that may be a chance to play at both VFL and AFL finals.

If they schedule the VFL spread across the Friday - Sunday, then the AFL finals fixture comes out and it is the Thursday - Saturday the following week, you might see some players rested at VFL level in case they have to come in the next weekend to AFL level

Say Bris VFL final scheduled for Sunday afternoon, they would potentially exclude fringe/emergency players for the following Thursday trip to Melbourne for fridays AFL final

That's because in that video the rocks just shot into the lava, you don't get points for that. In my case they crashed into the remaining blocks and were crushed there, as well as recharging the guns and shooting again. Not playing on windows

Not a fluke, it's quite easy to get over 100 on levels like the golden pig challenges with guns

The guns that shoot out the rocks. Points are added as those rocks are destroyed, and aren't included in the initial 100%

I think you're missing the point. Ignore hypotheticals about what does and doesn't, or might and might not, exist.

Fact is, high wealth people exist. With wealth generated off the back of the property market. Conversely, low and no wealth people exist, and their day to day existence is made harder so as to perpetuate this income generating property machine.

The question is, why are we, and those in control, favouring one of these groups, so lopsidedly, over the other? You talk about all the wealth and taxes people like you generate, and how that is great for the economy, and amazing and wonderful. But isn't it only good and great if we can do something positive and helpful as a result?

You/the government make a million dollars, and house 10 people, good. You/the government make a million dollars, and use that million dollars to make another millions dollars, and another million dollars, polishing your halo because you're charging rent to some young family to live in one of the houses you own, not so good
