    Yeah it's bullshit this.

    For any in demand show or event they just let the system rack it up as high as it will go.

    The F1 in Melbourne they had tickets going for more than what the range said they would from this. Was wild.

    It does indeed look shit.

    But...

    To be fair, we said that about the USA version of the office when that showed up. It turned into a cult hit after they ironed out the kinks a little.

    As an office fan, I'm going to give this a chance mainly from the fact they took the idea and made it their own instead of cookie cutter copying the USA / UK version scene for scene like all the other variants. So for that fact they have sat down, put some effort in and written what could be some good comedy.

    Oh we did.

    Regularly.

    But as poor students, it was pick your battles. Her dick boyfriend used to drive them both home drunk as, then cook chicken nuggets at 3am setting off the smoke alarms on a Tuesday...

    I lived with a flatmate that used to pull this sort of shit.

    Typical process:

    She would remove the frozen chicken from the fridge, put it on the outdoor table, then go to class. Would come home to a defrosted chicken, which she would take and chop in half on the kitchen floor. Then she would put one half back in the freezer, usually on top. Lovely going to get ice to find it's covered in frozen defrosted chicken blood. She would then use the other half to cook up a soup in our one big pot we had. This pot would live on the back corner of the stove for a week. Or two. Each day she would take a ladle full and warm it up to eat. The big pot wasn't kept warm or in the fridge.

    I got to the point where as soon as we saw the mould growing out of the pot, we would biff the entire contents and water blast the pot outside. Much to her annoyance.

    She would then just repeat again the next week.

    Ah the good old "korn_music_vide.wmv" that immediately cuts to someone in an orange jump suit on their knees.

    Korn really getting intense with the new music videos

    The podcast company that makes the podcast.

    When they make it, they put in an <advertising tag> in the locations during the podcast they want the advertising to be, then they sell the advertising space. If there is no local advert, it skips, if there is one, it pulls and plays that.

    Cooked my first ever brisket. 17 pounds / 8kg from Costco, trimmed somewhat. I had found a charcoal/truffle rub in NZ that I mixed with fresh ground salt n pepper, applied a day before. Cooked with pecan smoking chunks, at a (dome temp) temp of 275F (135C) for the first 4 hours then 300F(150C) for another 3.5 hours in the foil boat. Fat side up, with a Kickstarter Meater in the top. Wrapped in wax paper, then towel tight into an Esky for 3.5 hours to rest. Served perfectly rendered fatty strips in time to see the ABs keep the Eden park record alive vs the pumas. Learning: Next time won't use the fancy rub. I definitely would just use salt n pepper next time. I filled the basket with a decent amount of charcoal chunks. It barely used any of that on the cook and cool after, could probably cook two more briskets back to back with what's left. Gloves to handle the meat is way easier than trying to move a hot 7kg blob of meat. Anyone considering giving this a go: it was way easier than I thought it would be. But you need enough people to help eat it. We tried with 4 and barely made a dent.

    Sadly I am located in a country with a Murdoch hold on the F1 rights (Australia, and barely HD kayo), and because of this F1TV pro is not available here. We only get the option for live timing. A few questions I thought some of the lemmy crew might know the answers to: * First, is this an Ok place to ask these questions on how to get access? Don't want to upset the mods etc. if this isn't, where might be a better place? * In the past I have seen mention of using a VPN to another location (India, turkey etc), and then using something like Google pay to subscribe for an entire year. This i believe also just worked when not on VPN after subscribing, which was appealing (as setting a VPN for the TV and mucking about at 1am is not). But I had also seen that F1TV cracked down on this also, so it may not work again. * Any other decent live stream options? I was an initial and long time user of "Hendo and his mates" "Race Tarting" crew which was amazing for the few years that worked. Keen to hear what the community does or thoughts on what options are out there.
