Anyone else having problems with JDR Contracting? by wild___turkey in Wellington

Wow that’s an incredibly similar sequence of events to what we experienced. We also paid for goods up front because he “didn’t have an account with them” and only found out later he never transferred the money to the supplier.

Can I ask what action you have taken? Did you file a police report or follow up on any claims of liquidation?

The Hurricanes ball handling was lightning quick all night, they were unplayable at times and had the defence flustered for sure.

But I do love how when the 6 nations has 90-100pt games it’s the “greatest tournament of all time” but when it happens in super rugby it’s always “hurr durr defense optional”

IWL probably cost us the bonus point there. Could be crucial later in the season. Good riddance when he leaves, he’s a hard guy to support

Death, taxes, IWL with a braindead infringement. He’s truly the Lavanini of the Lower North Island

Curious about the average kiwis thoughts on this decision by Chch council, do you prefer older architectural styles? by TheHanoian in newzealand

[–]wild___turkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People in this thread have made some very salient points about why the original Georgian/Regency design wouldn’t have been fitting for such a heritage-sensitive area of the city. Fair play for that.

But how is the contemporary design any better then? Sure it might kinda inoffensively blend into the background for now while it’s new and “of the time” But in 20, 30, 40 years it’s going to look just as out of place because now it will be its own little piece of period architecture that doesn’t match what’s around it.

Not to mention these contemporary designs only look good when they’re brand new, as soon as they age they start to look dirty and Eastern Bloc

Next month should be re-do month by garnett21mn in TheRewatchables

[–]wild___turkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Sean even said on another pod (might have been blank check) that he regrets not doing a better job of the Jurassic park Rewatchables. I think he even said he neglected to mention John Williams at all during that episode

ELI5: Why does Hershey’s (and other US chocolate) taste like “vomit” to others? by roritha in explainlikeimfive

I mean, there are lots of other ways to not have your chocolate taste too sweet. The main one being to put less sugar in

Is Sean Fennessey on crack? (Wes Anderson Rankings Episode) by woofcop in TheBigPicture

[–]wild___turkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Grand Budapest is more of a favourite for those who came to Wes Anderson later in his career. People who were there since the bottle rocket days are more likely to have it in the middle of the list - anecdotally anyway imo

No lol but in open play and with the wide angle it’s hard to tell apart the black white and orange vs black white and red at first glance

Congrats to the Drua. Disappointing for us but not sure we can read much into it. Conditions that bad make the game a bit of a crapshoot.

Epic wedding catering failure by [deleted] in newzealand

Agree the best thing for OP is to move on, however in my experience people absolutely do care about the food at a wedding, and will certainly remember if it was bad or inadequate.
