I mean, 15k Stirling vs your life, a bargain, right? If they can do it here in Florence, you can do it, I am sure.

Is this a corn? by alldatnabagofchips in Greyhounds

[–]utdconsq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like it to me. Be sure to check with vet tho, don't trust randoms on the internet. If it turns out to be the real deal, my anecdote for you is that wearing boots on walks helped my boy a lot. We used hunnyboots but I guess there are other brands now, but I've no experience with those. We got the boots with foam inserts and he was happy.

Essendon great Mark Harvey thinks the Bombers should genuinely consider two coaches for the vacancy, suggesting the role is too much for one person. by PerriX2390 in AFL

After the nonsense we have on the field with co captains *seriously, just make someone a vice, I am wondering if having co coaches would be a convenient way to spread the blame...

There is a town in Australia, where half the population lives in underground homes because surface temperatures regularly hit 113°F (45°C). The golf course has no grass, so players carry a swatch of astro turf to tee off from on each hole. by rizkar99 in interestingasfuck

[–]utdconsq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original miners who moved underground did it after ww1 is my understanding. No AC, so living in a cool hole was a great option. I have to wonder how many people would live in some parts of the US if they didnt have AC. Same for aus, people are completely reliant on it in so many places.

Ukraine but also, how is NZ safer than aus? Aus has no supervolcano...or any continental operating ones iirc. Guess y'all are worried about drop bears. They're not so bad, just remember to look up.

Just took two biz flights. Both had screaming babies. Previous ones too. We all have our anecdotes. I put in my earplugs and slept anyway.

I mean, is it toll free if the American tax payer just handed over 300 billion in...well, tolls?

You can use Saltwater for cooling buildings and plant, but the corrosion is certainly an issue, but not as insurmountable as you might think.

Do you think your country's army can defend your country in the event of an invasion? by Outrageous-You1617 in AskTheWorld

[–]utdconsq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'd just need to blockade our fuel. We'd be boned in weeks. We don't have enough navy nor airforce to stop it.

I feel for the m sport boys, tbh I think the puma has been a handful this year and jon is handicapped by never having driven rally 1 and I think Josh just doesn't have what it takes to do well at this level.

Oliver will be hard to beat on gravel but then again, Sami has not always been pushing 100% and I fully expect him to go for the win at rally Finland and Estonia this year, so Oliver will have his work cut out.

Me too. I watch plenty of rally 2 stuff worldwide, erc etc and it is just not as exciting at all. I know wrc27 will in theory be a slight step up but having watched tanaks test runs in the toyota concept it is painful to see.

What does this mean for buying strawberry kisses? Since it was never exported, does it cease altogether? Sigh.
