It's not fair that only wicket taking balls get checked. How many no balls had the bowler been bowling up until that point that weren't checked or were close enough for the umpire not to see but could be picked up by the camera? If those no balls aren't getting picked up, the bowler doesn't have the chance to adjust. Test cricket doesn't need more things getting in the way of taking wickets.

Well sounds like I will hold off until they can be bothered patching a fix in for it. Hopefully after the retail release they will have time.
They should be aiming to have their foot land with the crease in the middle of their foot, 6 inches isn't giving them shit.

If I recall correctly, he reached retirement age and they used that as the reason.
He retired. Sure, he could keep on going but he really should retire. It's for the best.
For him.

Triple J should get him on at least 3 nights a week. He could inject some much needed humour into the Hack program.
You guys, I need girl advice.
Been hanging out a bunch with this girl who broke up with her partner of 2 years, 2 months ago. She says she needs time to herself but always wants to hang out with me. This weekend we are going to see some bands on Friday and then she's coming to Harvest festival with me on Sunday. Pretty certain I'm going to ask her what I can do to support her wanting time to herself at the moment, but let her know I really enjoy spending time with her.
Right move, or blurst move?

This is like the 'well everyone was speeding, it's unfair I got caught' argument.
Except this time, it's 'well, everyone was speeding, just because I hit a kid doesn't mean I should get charged for speeding!'
Wicket balls are immensely more important than any other ball. Picking out no-balls is hard. It was hard when I had to umpire park cricket. I can't imagine how much harder it would be in a Test match.
What this whole thing tells me is that umpires only call no balls when they are 100%.
The bowlers should have adjusted last summer when umpires were allowed to check for no balls on wickets. Pattinson should have adjusted after the first two innings of this test match saw several wickets no count because of no-balls.
There's absolutely no excuse for it.
Propose marriage!
Take a step back. Two months out of a two year relationship isn't long at all.
I've only been going out with my girlfriend for four months, but if we broke up now I probably wouldn't see someone within two months. After two years would be a bit nuts.
No harm in giving it a few more months. If it's real, that time won't change anything.
On a completely unrelated note, we're moving house in just over two weeks (our current landlord is selling).
Moving house is expensive.
$130 to move internet and $150 to move Foxtel.
lol man you should tell foxtel to get fucked. They are bleeding and struggling for subscribers (as is shown by their current deal)
if you have been a long term user i guarnatee you can get out of that. I never fucking paid to move foxtel
Nah, it's more like, I'm driving a car with no speedometer and I rely on a man in a big hat sitting in the back to tell me if I'm going too fast. Except if I hit another car, and the man in the hat didn't know I was going slightly too fast, they will install a speedometer for just that one time. Then fine me massively for speeding, even though the only way for me to generally know I was speeding failed on me, and I might have been speeding for a while, and if the guy in the hat told me I was speeding when I was, or if I had a working speedometer, I might never have hit the other car. But they won't let me have the speedometer and they will only use it to punish me, not to allow me to adjust my speed.
Or to put it another way, car analogies are stupid.
I mean, adjusting to the fact that you're bowling no balls. Maybe your stride was out or you mismeasured your run up or whatever. It happens, and normally the penalty is one run and an extra ball, big deal. Except maybe a bowler has been bowling 2mm no balls his whole spell but no one knew until he took a wicket. How is it fair to have two standards of measurement? They should use the camera to check for all noballs or none at all. Test cricket is best when bowlers are taking wickets. They shouldn't make it artificially harder.
of course it is because those colours are unusual

I've been in the same position a couple of times. I either left it too long to make my move or I was chosen to hang out with because I'm good-male-company-that-is-in-no-way-sexually-threatening-therefore-is-a-good-dip-the-toe-back-into-the-dating-water-without-the-danger-of-something-happening option. The first time she has a discussion about thinking she ready to date again (and your hearts starts to lift) only for her to finish the sentence with a phrase similar to "because there's this cute guy that's asked me out and I said 'yes'" is fucking awful.
In short, don't do like Jason did. Don't back off so far that you are only acting like nothing but a friend. In fact, try not to use that word at all. Tell her that you like hanging out with her and that you want to give her room until she is ready to start dating again. Until then, you are enjoying your time together.
Well now Yellow's sold out, either they're really popular or Telstra have very limited stock, which wouldn't surprise me as Nokia has really handled this launch poorly.
I'm guessing it's best to say you're interested romantically sooner rather than later? Due to aforementioned reasons.

Yeah, in those cases it's best to say what your ultimate intentions are when spending time together. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that there is a difference between hanging out like friends until she's ready to date again and being upfront about your intentions whilst giving her the space she needs.
The problem with the former is that you may be thinking that you're hanging out with someone that will ultimately want to pursue a relationship when that isn't the case, because all you've ever communicated is "I like hanging out with you."
In the latter case, you communicate clearly that "I'm interested in pursuing a relationship with you, but will also acknowledge the time that you need in order to start dating again."
If you do so, you can hopefully avoid a situation where both parties regard the relationship as something entirely different.

I can't really give much advice but two months isn't long. It took me like 6 months to get over my ex of like 18 months. In fact it really took her seeing someone else.
Good luck though man.

Mate. Don't you dare use friend zone as an excuse of it goes to shit down the track and you don't get what you want though. That shit's stupid Internet crap.

Very jealous.
If you haven't already, try this one. It is the best (and most authentic tasting) Japanese curry I've had.

I tend to stick with S&B Golden Curry as the roux but I've seen Vermont Curry at the local Asian grocerer so maybe will give it a go. We try to mimic CoCo or Go! Go! Curry, with more vegies and less sauce...
Dunno if I can agree with a nachos recipe that suggests sriracha instead of a central/south American hot sauce... leftover Texas chili (with beans, I'm a heretic) makes for some most epic nachos, too.
