When I was a kid I had an old relative with a huge macadamia nut tree and whenever we would go over there, we would always run out the back and smash open macadamia nuts with bricks. So I like macadamia nuts, but unless they're fresh with an occasional brick dust crunch, it just isn't the same. I prefer store bought pistachios to store bought macadamias.

Happily play with silver scrubs because I can't be bothered with novas.

Yes yes and tomatoes aren't a vegetable, but everyone knows they really are anyway.
Oh yeah, freshly brick cracked or bust!

You had to have preordered it for that price.

I think I preordered TLoU at dick when they first had a good deal (59 I think 1-2 months back). It dropped to 49 at one stage I think? Will that be the price I wind up getting it for in the end? Or the full 59?

The term vegetable is just an arbitrary, non-biological/botanical term definition, anyway. A list of items only passed down via tradition and without any ironclad definitions to help people identify what's really a vegetable.
What's a vegetable? A plant used in savory entree and main course dishes. Apart from the cases where actual fruit are used in main courses/entrees, in which case they get to retain their fruit status and are not considered vegetables (except in the cases where fruit are only considered vegetables and people think you're an arsehole for pointing out that they're actually fruit). Also, to help you classify them for yourself, vegetables can be consumed raw except for the ones that you can't because they need to be cooked in order to remove toxins. Plants deemed as vegetables are usually grown above ground but can also be grown in the ground and be considered botanically as part of the roots and tuber family. They can also be grown on vines, too. Or on stalks, except for the ones that belong to the grain family. Oh, and mushrooms can be considered a vegetable, too, just to chuck in a completely random non-plant curveball, cause, fuck you, that's why.
See, if you just follow the simple rules I've outlined, you too can easily identify what is and isn't a vegetable.

It made more sense to me when someone pointed out the term has two uses, culinary and botanical. Something can be a fruit botanically and a vegetable culinaryily and we don't need to be confused.

$49. The deal was, put down $10 pre-order and you pay $49 total. Should be automatic in their system. If they try to pull some shit tell them to look at the catalogue from 2 weeks ago.

I prefer to think of mushrooms as animals, and use this notion to disturb my vegetarian friends.

That's basically a good price taking into account GST / exchange rates.
Yeah. Its about 4$ above the Amazon price converted to AUD and then 10% GST added.
To bad the Destiny pricing is not as nice.

2 sleeps until I get to Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm a bit excited for it.

I went there 3 years ago so don't remember the names of the tracks. There is one at the base of the hill that leads up to one of the smaller waterfalls, it was pretty disappointing due to the waterfall being non existent. You should probably skip that.

The Mildura honey wheat beer is outstanding. Had 3 already, don't feel like trying anything else.
>_>
Just never play again
Also death there is some waterfall track I think may avoid if I see it

Silverband falls.
If you're driving from Melbourne, just before Ararat, there is a scenic route that takes you past some windmill farms. From what I can recall, Boroka lookout has a great view of Victoria valley. There's also a walk that leads to Reed lookout. The only waterfall worth seeing is the MacKenzie falls, which is quite a walk uphill on the way back.
You're going at a decent time of the year, I went in January and was sweating like crazy.

Choc Hops is the good stuff. If you ever spot it at a pub on hand pump/beer machine, make sure you try it.For the weekend

PS+ next week is pretty fantastic, especially for Vita gamers!
So that's 2 PS4 games, 3 PS3 games and 4 for Vita.
MAKE SURE TO GRAB THESE BEFORE THEY ARE GONE!
My son is actually really enjoying LEGO Batman 2, it still misses a lot of the 360 version stuff that I like but it runs miles better than LEGO LOTR.
Yarp, I really like the beer up there. Awesome price on the Choc Hops too!!!

Holy crap this has been the busiest six months of my life. Seriously understand why Japanese people barely sleep now, there is just not enough time. Finishing off my last assignment as we speak and then I'm off to the Nagoya cosplay Summit and Mt Fuji for climbing and that haunted hospital everyone raves about. Anything interesting happen these past few months? Honestly surprised there isn't a new thread.
Jintor! If you're free we should chill. Kobe is not that far from Mie.

Hi! Good to hear you're having a blast in Japan, so jelly!
Totally understand how you feel, it's the same here in HK. People work like crazy and it's go go go go all the time. Was a semi shock at first but I kinda love it now.

As the place where the Brits first landed, Sydney has evolved with a random hodgepodge of roads while Melbourne, established later, has the benefit of better urban planning.
Definitely, Sydney is all unnecessarily loopy, Melbourne is all nice and regimented.
Although I've been catching public transport to work lately, and Sydney public transport is pretty good, especially getting out to ermington (my suburb)
