CEO (not an idiot) just involuntarily resigned

You know the drill resign and get a pay out rather than the company firing you (and then facing an unfair dismissal tribunal) or be made redundant (company loses the ability to replace the job role).

@Nevorian said in Ireland v Wallabies:

Thought if they had scored off the TT intercept that might have taken the game, unfortunately support didn’t quite get there

Shit option from Tupou - should have given it to Williams once through the line, and then followed him. They should have both drifted left a little and called Sua'ali'i and Jorgensen into the middle of the field.

Passing late and badly is never a good option. See it all the time with the leaguies at my club: they think the offload-in-contact is a hero move, rather than staying alive to support.

Brilliant

CrowdStrike: Company that caused global techno meltdown offers partners $10 vouchers to say sorry - and they don't work CrowdStrike: Company that caused global techno meltdown offers partners $10 vouchers to say sorry - and they don't work

The company behind the world's worst IT outage has given gift cards to its teammates and partners to apologise and thank them for the extra work during last week's meltdown.

Very much fucked off with Parra Eels right now.

I helped arrange the final of a local schools comp for their flashy new field. Even had to move it a week to get availability - right up against school holidays. These are Opens XVs (school leavers in some cases) so need to run it this term before they start HSC.

Everything was fine until a phone call this morning. They're apparently moving their reserve grade women's TRIAL FUCKING MATCH to the venue the same night.

Get.

Fucked.

The schools comp director is not pleased and now I feel like a total fucking idiot.

Works fine on v13

Both sides ended up in Cirque Le Soir nightclub after The Oval test for drinks.

England were late because they stopped off at High Street Kensington McDonalds en route.

@Dan54 nothing memorable in this game - I was speaking generally about home broadcasters.

Your point about the TMO is valid BUT that doesn't stop the OB director replaying stuff up on the big screen and getting the ref to check.

Happened to us several times on EOYT last year.

Belated watch of second half.

Not much in it. Injuries buggered Aussie backline, and the way the half went hampered what looked to me like opportunity against tiring Boks.

As it was, BOK’s refereeing mid half left a lot to be desired. Nine consecutive penalties including seven around 22 only gave way to warning, when a yellow was warranted. Then TMO call for relieving penalty. Wallabies might well have expected to have scored a try after all that at around 60, and at 10-17 would have made it more interesting.

As was, Boks’ mugging of Gold in H1 was always likely to be decisive.

@antipodean am stoked with the one I got. $450 I think it was gave it a good clean and took the display apart and alco wiped it now the display works completely.

Far from good as new but rowing-wise does everything I want. Old model but came up good after a clean. I hate cycling and/or assault bikes so having it in home gym has been great.

Did a challenge the other night get 300m or more in one minute then thirty second break. Did eight rounds arms=cooked. Need to average under 1:40/500m

The post I saw the challenge on tagged ex league player Frank Puletua apparently his record was 42.

@ACT-Crusader said in Highlanders v Waratahs:

@Machpants only concern with that is that the broadcasters love more ‘finals’ because they rate higher and they can sell to advertisers.

Yeah it's never going to happen but the comp would be much better

WTF!!! We were just sipping on a beer celebrating Warnie’s life and enjoying each other’s company💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Our great friendship and respect for each other started the very first minute we met in battle. You were such a competitor doing any and everything for your team.
I had the greatest respect for you Roy!!!
You also made friendship so easy, I loved the spontaneous phone calls and messages. You reached out just yesterday “How are you champ” … “All good Mr Symonds … How things with you”
Well all isn’t good anymore I will miss you and I’m devastated.
You were a champion bloke and the cricket world will miss you. We have lost another great human being.
Condolences to Andrew’s family and friends.

Italy 17 - Uruguay 10

@nta totally agree mate. I spent a bit of time playing with and against Molly Strano and Sophie Molyneux about 4 years ago and they were skilful then, but the improvements have been astronomical. Great chicks too!

(apologies for the name drop but those girls were way cool and molly played the most technically perfect reverse sweep I've ever seen)

On the plus side - we use SquarePOS for our club EFT, and I've figured out how to set up a shop online.

Processing fees go from 1.9% to 2.2% but it is a handy option rather than just running around on game day. Tracks inventory too...

@nta

Refresh. It should be gone now

Great success!

Just had it for the first time on my iPad pro, Safari in desktop mode. Refresh and it works

@chimoaus of they could give the AR a laser pointer and he shines it in the eyes of the offending player to let him know 🙂

I think generally once players know they wont get away with it, they will adjust thier own behaviour.

@NTA said in Google wifi:

I thought about it some more, and gave up on the idea. The kids have phones and could just hotspot all the porn they want if they were really keen.

It's a DNS that you can spec blocklists for. You can put it on their phones, and have it password protected so they can't turn it off, and add a blocklist for workaround services. Never tried those functions, but might be good.

Block Bypass Methods

Prevent or hinder the use of methods that can help bypass NextDNS filtering on the network. This includes VPNs, proxies, Tor-related software and encrypted DNS providers.

@Snowy is interesting, I got an email last night (re Legal Liability around H & S, expect probably written past few days or weekish) so assume this review has only happened recently or hadn't been announced a review was imminent.

There has been no inquiry or investigation into WorkSafe’s role as a regulator of Adventure Activities or whether it met its duties under HASWA. At least one of the defendants had its Safety Management System audited (and passed) by a WorkSafe approved Adventure Activities auditor. This information was publicly available on WorkSafe’s Register of adventure activity operators at the time of the eruption.
