Parentheses commented on [Steam, PC] Valheim $14.47 @ Steam
Flawed vs the hype it got, but then it would need to be the game of the millennium to match up with how people were raving about it. A…
I mean if you're going to do things that way then just pirate. Much easier. I do it for all of those Epic exclusives.
Parentheses replied to CommuterPolluter on Why Are Chinese Businesses Always So Stingy and Exploitative?
If you're heading down that route, then literally everything is 'chemical processing', because everything that is matter is a chemical and…
Cool, where did you publish?
Parentheses replied to CommuterPolluter on Why Are Chinese Businesses Always So Stingy and Exploitative?
The 'chemical processing' required to make the MSG you buy is to let natural bacteria make it, toss in some sodium, then let it dry into…
Parentheses replied to CommuterPolluter on Why Are Chinese Businesses Always So Stingy and Exploitative?
MSG absolutely is found in nature. It's what you get when glutamic acid encounters sodium. You'll get other salts as well, but it doesn't…
You might think you are, but you're basically in the same kind of group as people thinking vaccines cause autism - MSG sensitivity is a…
University academic - I have to go in when teaching a face to face class, when my lab equipment needs me to physically poke it rather than…
Parentheses replied to CurlCurl on Entered The Highway from The Exit but Pulled over upon Notice, Police Arrived Shortly
By all means, continue to share your entirely uninformed opinion based on incorrect assumptions. A directed driving health assessment is…
For Switzerland and Liechtenstein the answer is probably that people can afford it. There are motivations for all of the other countries to…
Parentheses commented on Lawn Mower Recommendations
600m^2 ? Get a goat. Not even kidding. Fence off a garden area (cause it will eat that otherwise), keep a goat in the rest. Will also sort…
Parentheses commented on Australian Passport Huge Price Hike
The idea of indexing the cost of a passport based on the number of countries it gets you access to without a visa is beyond silly. The cost…
Parentheses commented on Why Do You Pirate?
I pirate for a whole bunch of reasons - there is a universal, perfect, never-expiring library of content available with none of the…
If the action (almost any action, really) was taken in furtherance of a conspiracy, i.e. it was a step in a plan where the plan involved a…
Plenty of defences can make actions that would otherwise be unlawful, lawful. The vast, vast majority of 'unlawful acts' in the Australian…
This idea of proportionality meaning the same tool or action is utterly wrong - it has never, ever been a thing, just something people come…
As someone with a PhD in computer science who has also spent time in industry, the question is honestly not something that makes much sense…
Mansplaining? Were you dropped as a child?
The bigger cast iron pans have a lift handle. If you're weak (I guess skinnyfat people might struggle, but a good cooking matron will be…
Take the cast-iron and beat the family about the head with it any time they (profanity) it up. There is nothing else even remotely…
80L is the smallest size that exists. You can get a 120L or even a 240L if you want to make more rubbish.
Parentheses commented on [eBook] The Art Of War by Sun Tzu - Free Kindle Edition @ Amazon AU, UK, US
How can an ebook be a compact hardcover? Unless it's cause the device you read it on can be compact and hard?
You would have been given sauce had you ordered a pie or sausage roll. By ordering a hot dog you looked like a seppo and no sauce was…
I love how you discount cricket, when it is literally the second most popular sport in the world after soccer. And it's hard to say Messi…
Parentheses replied to Hvrd on Shirts and Polos $49.95 Each (Was $109) + $19.95 Delivery ($0 with $199 Spend) @ Charles Tyrwhitt
It's more the case that their sizes run true to what inches are, rather than all the ones we get in stores here that run Asian sizing which…
You are absolutely not legally obligated to pay for things you accidentally break in a shop. The shop has to prove that it was broken…
A registered vehicle legally remains roadworthy up to the point it is formally defected. If it was a pile of rust scraps on the ground with…
Parentheses replied to Slut on Free KFC Delivery (Save $8.95) with Zinger Burger & Popcorn Chicken Box for $14.95 Delivered @ KFC via App
Mine is hot rods. They leave me full of regret about an hour after eating what amounts to sticks of lard wrapped in oil soaked spicy…
