I’ve never seen a thing like this before, both players were ruled to have lifted simultaneously, both contributing equally to the foul play and both were given a yellow. Somehow the Magpies only managed to score 1 try while against 13 players and almost conceded one too.
Sam Smith, the Hawke’s Bay 7 being lifted here tucked his head & rolled so actually came down quite safely all things considered and played out the rest of the match A-OK.
Yeah first phase Australia looked much better, and they were also more patient were able to build phases and still look like they had a plan going deep into them. After 5 or 6 phases the ABs attack fairly consistently fell apart and looked like it didn’t really have a successful out.
Pretty consistently through this year though its the out wide defence and then lack of punch on gain line that’s the worry heading up north. Defence in particular has gone backwards this year, the system looks very exploitable.
Still think Razor was a bit slow on pulling the trigger on getting the bench on, but the forwards replacements in particular did really well once they were on.
The question from the game is, has Schmidt coached a bunch of lesser players to perform well above their #10 ranking, or are Razor’s ABs just that clunky at the moment?
As I type, the ABs have only 18 minutes to build a lead before the final quarter begins and we get to see if they’ll be shut out 6 games in a row.
Well I didn’t expect my prediction for the Magpies to be bang on. Crazy game.
First time I’ve ever seen two players get sinbinned a simultaneous action of foul play.
Schmidt’s still got it with the set plays eh, they’re right in the hunt.
I was so impressed with the quality of the Bronco that I bought one of their Rambler’s as well. I use that when I just want to grill a couple of steaks for dinner, but my partner also bought be one of the Espeto Sul rotisseries, and I use that with the Rambler as its just about the perfect length for it. I got my brother to fabricate a baffle which lets me hold the lid open, but still keep the box closed for proper air draw & whatnot - its been great for chicken roasts!
I’m quite keen on their offset smokers too, but part of the deal with buying the Bronco was I had to get rid of one of my other BBQs (sold an old Weber Kettle) so I doubt i’ll get the thumbs up to add another even bigger one to our collection!
Naturally, and with this government we’re not going to get Aussie style protections around work hours any time soon - but if your employer is going to say, you must be in office bc contract says so, the response should be ok well contract also says work hours are x-y thank you very much.
I meant to post this earlier - its an explainer on how West Kentucky ended up with Mutton BBQ and you’ll see why I was instantly hooked that it was something New Zealand should be doing too.

I tend to wrap ribs pretty early in butcher paper (my butcher wraps everything, even if its in a vac bag in butcher paper so I get a supply without trying :) and that really helps to keep them moist. I do the same for bigger chunks of meat to get through the stall as well.
Yeah I was using HA to figure out presence from Unifi and that was very flakey as well. Have a look at Unpoller though, its a decent project and can push metrics to influxdb or prometheus.
Its only recent releases of Unifi Network that have made it easy to setup local DNS entries - it used to be very kludgy or not possible back when I first deployed PiHole as DNS for me.
I really like the frigate project, and the detection models it has are really really good, and that meant I could use really cheap Amcrest (I think) cameras because the brains was on the server end rather than camera end. Plus I kinda prefer the device side to be as dumb as possible as they can often have all sorts of vulnerabilities baked in the more IoT they are.
Though I also really hate Home Assistant so I use Frigate as a standalone app, and I manage notifications in a somewhat roundabout way (mqtt -> loki -> grafana -> pushover). I did that because I got heartily sick of how awful Home Assistant was at determining whether I was, or was not at home.
So now I use Unpoller to get my device states from the UDM, that gets stored in prometheus, and my Grafana alert rule works out if my partner or I are at home based on our device being connected to the WiFi or not; then each MQTT event for a detection it only sends a notification if both phones are away.
Note the privacy risks were low, not no. So even this limited, safe trial has privacy risk which has been exposed to an AI processing & storing data where?
This is just Nactional Fist’s latest culture war bullshit; a distraction from the absolute shambles they’ve made of the economy since dropping an austerity bomb on a recession.
Actually on cameras, I think Ubiquiti are adding Onvif support to Protect which should let you add non-Ubiquiti cameras to their setup too. Of course then you won’t get the special detection features so i’ll continue to use frigate & offload the “is human?” analysis to a GPU.
I’ve had my Bronco for a few years now and it is so good to use. Have done briskets, pork shoulders, ribs, chickens so far everything’s been delicious.
Early on a cold morning it can be a little tricky to get the chimney drawing air well - so one trick i’ve recently learnt is to switch my vacuum pipe to the blow side and to force air into the inlet which seems to get it cranking pretty quickly :)
Oh, and as you mention Lamb, you really should treat yourself and try some West Kentucky style Mutton BBQ. It can be hard to get actual mutton, but it works with hogget too, its delicious and makes too much sense for NZ BBQ to not start adopting it!
It begins! Here’s a mug of kool-aid ;) So, who’s taking odds on TTC and TTA*?
There’s a legitimate criticisms to be made of Ubiquiti’s products, but they perform very well, are relatively simple to setup and maintain and most importantly for me, you get a perpetual license in the up front purchase price - no annual ransomware like other similar providers. Plus you can host the controller yourself, you don’t have to be tied to their cloud offering (if they even still bother with it).
I haven’t setup their built-in ad blocking yet as the local DNS was a bit of a pain so I still use pi-hole for all my own home stuff’s DNS anyway, and I have wireguard running off their box as I set that up when their implementation was very new and not quite what I was after. But only a matter of time before I switch to the same setup as yours.
*(time till cameras, time till access-points)!
I saw something the other day in response to I think Amazon demanding workers work from office. If its so impossible to be productive working from home, then as soon as you walk out of the building at the end of the day, stop looking at your work phone, never reply to emails, don’t answer the phone.*
*That’s as it should be anyway, don’t do free labour for your boss!
What sort of vessel are you travelling in?
