Scotland were really scrappy against Portugal. It wasn’t even the new caps being green. Matthews and Horne were not on point.
England seem to either pick attack or defence as their plan every game. Then they stick to one and completely ignore the other. They are attacking today. Smith continues to be great.
Going to miss NZ/France unfortunately. Foolishly agreed to socialise this evening when I should be holed up watching rugby!
You need to have a moderately high income to move anywhere with a good safety net. Moving somewhere without a safety net does not sound like a good idea for someone with disabilities like OP.
I think their decision was influenced by the most recent budget. With business costs rising due to the national insurance increase, banks are anticipating that inflation will fall less quickly, as costs could be passed on to consumers. This is compounded by government spending increasing which also has the potential to have an inflationary effect.
Given this background it is not inconceivable that BoE might need to raise interest rates again and this means the banks need to keep their fixed rates high to cover the risk of people locking in rates that turn out to be too low.
Don’t give me hope!
Envious of Argentina. We were 5th in the world once but have never been able to take the next step in terms of collecting the big scalps.
Gameboy color dinosaur JRPG / metroidvania that seemingly no one else has ever played. Called Dinosaur’us. I had to google the name there and it turns out there is a wikipedia page so it’s not totally obscure - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur’us
I loved this game as a kid! There are surprisingly few good dinosaur games (although admittedly a lot of good dragon ones).
Edit: only ever released in the UK - that explains a lot of why it was so obscure. The ROM is on emulator sites though if you are curious.
I love Obsidian games but I hate how UE5 the trailers for this look. Just the assets they are using look very much like they’ve been bought from the store instead of handcrafted (I’m sure they were designed but this is a likely an art direction issue).
You put more effort into this post than M$ did to their product
They get all the patches and minor upgrades in a timely fashion, similar to other distros. The major version updates do not come as readily though.
Do Facebook have a streaming service now?
Nice write-up btw
PS3 is probably the last gen to support a lot of local coop games
Have got Debian on an old thinkpad too because it is too under resourced to compile everything. I think Debian is amazing for a solid, reliable distro if you have weak hardware.
I use Gentoo and I love it. The installation process is a bit more complex than Arch but it doesn’t have to be if you choose the precompiled kernel.
The package management is extremely flexible and the community are great. I have a morning routine where I log onto my gentoo desktop before work and update everything; would compare it to raking one of those miniature buddhist sand gardens. Very theraputic!
Discovering I want Italy to win this really badly. I think they might be my 2nd test team. Not sure where I get these masochistic impulses from lol.
What a fightback by Australia! I hope they can continue to play like this when I see them in a few weeks. Scooped up a last minute spare ticket from a friend.
Also going to the boks game but I’m trying to put that out my mind after seeing the terrifying team sheet!
Yeah pretty much agree, would just say “drugs” as a catch-all here.
Had to scroll quite far down to find a non-wholesome answer! Everyone else is enjoying being a parent or whatever.
Ireland have always been on the edge of legality in terms of holding on too long after a tackle and interfering at the breakdown. They have been doing it for years but referees have only just started pinging them for it. Berry was all over it last night and it prevented them gaining any momentum.
I think he’s just good at self-promotion through coming out with these provocative - and completely arbitrary - takes to stay in the media.
31, assume the same
It sounded like OP wanted practical advice instead of sympathy. In practice you need to make your own luck by playing the hand you get dealt in life. There are many things you can’t control and dwelling on them is almost never productive.
