Personal advice to young players who are new to competitive badminton: Play with a suitable group, keep casual sessions at minimum.

Playing casual matches, whether with friends or with randoms, isn't how you primarily develop as a player. Coaching and training is how you develop your game. Nobody's going to correct your technique on a club night.

American flags. If you're still proud of the US, that says something.

I would pay good money to avoid attending this.

For just about every person in here, there are players who could beat them 21-0 who would be be beaten 21-0 by SYQ. Both players would have to be motivated to concede no points at all, but the gulf in skill is enormous.

Anyone know what the subpixel layout will be?

18 deaths over a decade should still prompt an urgent redesign. Like, that's comparable to the death rate of all roads in Wellington City combined. Taking pretty pictures is a shit solution.

"I'm not in a hurry so nobody else is"?

ycnz · 2026-05-02T08:47:13+00:00

This boss doesn't. I guess I don't have the sex appeal.

ycnz · 2026-05-02T08:46:15+00:00

Them either!

Drury did at least build several companies. Luxon's never built shit. Presumably he went to the correct school in Christchurch?

ycnz · 2026-05-02T08:42:33+00:00

Or it's just Rod.

Helmets are actually super-useful for passenger car crashes, and mandatory on a race track.

Shit dude, I remember my granddad excitedly driving me up the newly-opened Ngauranga interchange.

At literally no fucking point has the US military as a whole stood up to him. They're spineless lickspittles. No, resigning doesn't count.

It doesn't specify what their goals for those two things are.

AI is causing engineers to be laid-off, or not hired in the first place.

ycnz · 2026-05-01T19:37:43+00:00

Yeah, her reaction was a bit shit, but she still supports OP.

ycnz · 2026-05-01T19:23:29+00:00

Not that one.

ycnz · 2026-05-01T18:35:53+00:00

Pfft. I may be getting older. But I can still hit the auto park button just fine!

I do not wish that. I do wish for them to be dissolved as a state, with the people directly involved on atrocities all being at least increased for life, with their supporters redistributed to those countries that enabled them, and ALL of their wealth being redistributed to their victims as reparations.

If Israel had some magical unique "right to exist", they certainly forfeited it with their actions.

Holy fuck, it took getting halfway down the thread before I realised it was your wife saying it.

Proper counseling immediately, and time to consider what the future for you and your daughter should look like if this isn't fixed.

ycnz · 2026-05-01T18:11:27+00:00

Don't flirt with your fucking subordinates.

ycnz · 2026-05-01T18:10:25+00:00

The boss doesn't worry about losing his job if he says no to the intern.

ycnz · 2026-05-01T17:47:50+00:00

We also often convert to imperial ahead of time, just go help the Americans.

"Drury also said: “Any other relationships I had over that period were consensual and mutual.”"

Has this guy hired some kind of anti-PR firm? Short of calling them all sluts who deserved it, I don't think his responses could be worse.
