'why don't we just put a cap on the rates increases' is not a serious response. It just isn't. It's adolescent (perjorative) at best.

'I would simply just not raise the rates' is adolescent (complimentary) shit posting, but the irony and snark is inherent to the format.

the degree to which this is transparent is shocking. it will say something incredibly insulting about our press if they can't spot it. Put the thing that will cause massive rate rises in a different bucket, then do a power grab on the rest of council functions and claim you've capped rates.

A bit of perspective - yes we dropped points, but so did chelsea. Do you think with losing Caicedo for 3 games theyre actually worse off overall? We may look back on this as an unexpectedly good outcome from what was a bit of an iffy game

Yeah this was something I reflected on too after the dust settled. No guarantees of course but results over the next 3 games could go our way regardless and open up the gap further

This statement is bizarre "is it great to watch, definitely not". In the last week we've scored 7, 6 of those from open play. Feel free to continue underestimating Arsenal if you like 🤷‍♂️

Feels like it's going to be a banger for the pohutukawas this year where we are

So interesting that it's a 'pylon' in North America! It's a traffic cone or road cone (NZ), or 'witches hat' if you're australian

These are pylons:
a row of power lines are lined up in a field

Carragher saying that pool aren't a sacking club, have never sacked a league winning manager. Hmm. If they did...who would replace him? Anyone kicking around? Or I assume they'd have to poach someone

It's fucked up eh, I keep forgetting we don't have any at the moment 😄

Before today, I'd have said "sure NVIDIA ships out GPUs before they're paid, they seem to be getting paid on time, that's fine," but then I read that NVIDIA "recognizes revenue upon shipping a product and deeming collectability probable" and I can't stop thinking about what "probable" could mean?
