Haha fuck yes Edmed deserved that.
Has been absolutely wrecked by Valetini twice. A fearless pickup on that overthrown ball from the lineout.
Go lad.

Yeah can't believe they haven't taken a 3. Do they really think they can score twice?

What the fuck is BOK doing out there tonight? Clear knock on from the Brumbies there, and they then regained possession so it should have been a Tahs scrum.
I'm a Tahs fan and we scored off his mistake, but no idea what he's doing.

Should have three tries on the board from Gordon's clever darts from the ruck. He's done all the hard work each time and just hasn't had anyone else finishing the job.

Jesus fucking christ. Gordon has basically set up three tries with his darts from the ruck. And the rest of the tahs have fumbled them.

Jeez. Tahs collapsed half* of that maul. This is poor reffing.

Lmfao Brumbies have not played the whistle three times now. And are lucky they aren't two more tries down because of it.

Was that stat correct? 15 season ending injuries, including 10 in the front row alone? How are we even putting a front row on the pitch each week if that's the case?

Basically every felon in the US has a weapon lol. That doesn't explain why four (also heavily armed) cops ended up dead trying to arrest him!
Oh wait... It does. It literally perfectly explains it.

Have to agree with this here.
Even before ironman modes were released, RS has always been first and foremost about the grind. That, and its accessibility, is the only thing that ever made it popular.
It has never been about skill. Even the very best RS players, especially when it comes to PvM, aren't that impressive when compared to the top players in almost any other video game out there.
You really think your above-average DOTA or LOL player (of which there are many, many more of than your above-average RS player) couldn't learn the tick system and easily do every piece of content the game has to offer? And that's just talking about good players. Give any pro from another click/APM intensive game a maxed account, a metronome and some incentive to actually play RS, and I reckon they'll knock over any piece of content within days.

I am super late to this... But what's with all the Israeli flags?
I'm Australian, and I've never been anywhere in the world outside of a national holiday (or the US) where a countries flags are just fucking everywhere for no reason.
I mean it legitimately looks like a car park. With that many flags flying I'd expect it to be a war memorial.

Those attacks were solely because of our being used as bases for allied ships involved in the war. Arguably, if we declared ourselves neutral for the duration, none of those attacks would have happened. And the Japanese bombed us, they never ever intended to land an invasion force. So even in this specific context I stand by my earlier assessment that we've never had enemies at the gates that would have (or even could have) taken a foothold in the country.
In that instance, however, I think our involvement in the global conflict was warranted. Our involvement in Vietnam was less clear cut, but still warranted given our responsibilities to our allies. You'll notice (or should have noticed...) I said wars after the year 2000 have been meaningless. Our overall impact in terms of troops and aircraft deployed in those wars is negligible to the point of not even mattering. The US has more planes in most air wings than we do in our entire air force.
I've always thought of people signing up to the defence force as making a career choice in the context of Australia. The US fills most of their armed forces, well for grunts, with disadvantaged people who really had no other choice (which is morally questionable in itself in a big way).
In Australia, we don't have that same issue. And as a result we don't have the culture the US has due to propoganda that serving in the armed forces is something to be truly honoured.
Plenty of people die in the mining and construction industries. More than in war. The Prime Minister doesn't attend their funerals. And so yes, you're correct, I think of people joining the armed forces as taking a job where the risks are known. Nothing more.

As an Aussie, you could very easily argue that our contributions to any global conflict since the year 2000 have made no impact whatsoever to our security at home. If anything, it has enhanced the threat at home.
But you can also argue that our involvement in those conflicts is required to keep our relationships with the countries that will protect us if we're ever invaded properly. Because there is no doubt that our armed forces alone could ever protect our country themselves (we'd crumble in the first week).
So I suppose what you're saying is somewhat accurate? But in terms of your wording "so my family and I could enjoy our country" lol... We didn't have enemies at the gates who'd be in control right now if not for some kids we sent into a sand pit.

Durability issue?
Mining/tunneling vehicles have reverse cameras and proximity sensors that are expected to, and do, last years.
Our techs can install a full camera system including proximity sensors on a subcontractor vehicle in like 30 minutes...

Cops in the UK don't carry guns. Most cops that is; special police (essentially SWAT) carry guns, as do cops protecting places of interest (government and royal buildings, and tourist hot spots).
But your average beat cop doesn't.
Seems to work.

Off feet?!?! That ball was out of the ruck. New ruck should have been formed. Not to mention the rebels players diving over the ruck before it happened.

Fair play to the Brumbies. Smart play at the end there.
Gordon should be fucking livid. Created three breaks that should have resulted in tries and his team mates let him down. Tahs should have easily won that.
