120kg is still 120kg. Putting on more weight may not be beneficial if he doesn't have the engine for it.

For shits and giggles I watched the first 30 mins of Tuesday's Senate Inquiry into supermarket pricing where an obviously frustrated Senator McKim tried high school debating techniques (probably his limit) with the CEO of Woolworths, Brad Banducci. His incompetence, stupidity and frustration eventually had him make the juvenile threat of gaoling Brad for up to six months. All because McKim wanted to use a metric that sounded best (largest) and could ignorantly be compared to a different industry (banking), specifically ROE vs ROI. Obviously banking doesn't have the capital assets supermarkets and miners do.

This doesn't surprise me given the recent emphasis on social media companies (particularly Meta) doing more to prevent youths sharing illegal activities for "likes" from peers. Nor the oft cited claims that increased media reporting leads to copycat crimes.
What is obvious to me is disengaged parents, failing education systems and perceived lack of consequences.

Force look like they have got some reinforcements returning against crusaders in 23
If they've spent the bye week doing defensive drills, the Crusades could be in trouble.

@Duluth said in Hurricanes 2024:
Hurricanes assistant coach Tyler Bleyendaal will link with Irish powerhouse club Leinster ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Do Canes fans think this will be a big loss? How is he regarded as a coach?

You only need to be worried about playing the Drua away. Also the Force can't defend for shit, so as long as you can hold the ball, you'll win.

@Winger said in Israel, Iran, Syria, and the rest of the ... Middle East:
Add in the cost factor.
The whole show had the budget of a mega blockbuster. For Israel – without even counting the price of US, UK, and Israeli jets – just the multi-layered interception system set it back at least $1.35 billion, according to an Israeli official. Iranian military sources tally the cost of their drone and missile salvos at only $35 million – 2.5 percent of Tel Aviv’s expenditure – made with full indigenous technology.
A new West Asian chessboard
It took only a few hours for Iran to finally metastasize strategic patience into serious deterrence, sending an extremely powerful and multi-layered message to its adversaries and masterfully changing the game across the whole West Asian chessboard.
Were the biblical psychopaths to engage in a real Hot War against Iran
There's some batshit crazy takes on that website https://libya360.wordpress.com
Thanks for the amusement.

Add to that Iran's drone and missile strike has helped stem the loss of support for Israel's actions,
Surely most see for this for what it was. Retaliation but no more than a face-saving exercise and aslo a warning
How do you save face or send a warning if it's so easily defeated?
Faster, more advanced drones
Well I grant you it's four dimensional chess to try to project power by looking incompetent and ineffective.
It's a VG move by Iran. They have now won the PR battle.
According to whom?

Add to that Iran's drone and missile strike has helped stem the loss of support for Israel's actions, highlighting again the continuous precariousness of its existence. Hardly a PR win there I would have thought.

Given the table, should NZR be questioning the wisdom of having a SR franchise in the South Island?

what the actual fuck is going on in this country? has the place just lost its collective mind??
Bondi Junction.
Mental health. Meanwhile we have astonishing numbers living on the streets and record funding of NDIS. Something is seriously wrong here.
Last night some little shit stabbed a priest while shouting his backward fucking religious bullshit.
Benefits of diversity. Why wouldn't you want people with nothing in common to move here and listen to protected hate speech?
How many fucking women have been murdered in the past few months??

@Canes4life said in Highlanders v Rebels:
@KiwiMurph right now I would go with a Toole, Kellaway and Wright back three for the Wallabies.
The first two yes. Toole has that fuck off speed, Kellaway plays smart and makes things happen. Wright screws up. You've still got the ability to place Nawaqanitawase, Jorgensen or Petaia.

@Winger what did you expect him to say; "whatever Iran does, we're not going to intervene. That's the sort of allies we are now"?
Israel was way out of line with this attack. Biden should have just kept quiet
Esp as it seems obvious Iran doesn't want war.
LOL. The same Iran funding Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. wants peace.
