Did you have to delete some bullshit?



Sir! Standing by. Defenses have been reinforced: the rabid bunnies have been released onto the grounds and the angry burbot are in the moat.

Ya some troll came over. Got some more I gotta look over

Angry Bunnies? Like Night of the Lepus ? Burbot moat seems like a side snack while you're waiting to penetrate defenses though haha.

Side note; You should always spit on it first so they don't flinch

That'll be good for his confidence. The South-African in me wants to say well let's see him do it under pressure. Love this game. I'll be the Women't World Cup in SA soon. We get everything on ESPN+. Man I watch a lot of cricket, test matches and all.

I do as well . Some struggle to watch test match Cricket and I get it . A game that goes for 5 days sometimes without a result
I think those that appreciate it actually understand why it’s called “ Test” Cricket .
It’s a battle of attrition to find both strengths and weaknesses over a sustained period .
It’s why Test Cricketers are exactly that . They’re not only good enough at the highest level in skill but to remain focused for days is another crucial element added .
I love the ebb and flow of the game . As you know one good session by either team can destroy the other .
Long live Test Cricket I say ???.
Womens World Cup . Be ready. You have a heap of Talent in your side . A number of your women play Big Bash in Australia . Very talented ladies

ha ha oh yeah that, that happened after we moved to America so didn't even know about it until recently. What a shame, he was so loved and then he died not long after. very tragic. About as tragic as losing the late great Shane Warne. That was such a shock and one of my heroes growing up. I made a whole lot of seeds this year with one male and wanted to come up with something cricket related so I called him googly, was thinking of Warnie around the time.

The Aussies ladies are simply unbeatable. The talent in that group is crazy, nobody really can come close. They will be tough to beat in the upcoming world cup. Ellyse Perry is a cutie, would tune in just to watch her.

I know I just baked Smith and Warner but for some reason I did feel very saddened by Hansies passing . I remember when South Africa post apartheid rejoined the world stage .
. Because SA was off the world stage for so long nobody really knew the players but man did we sit up and notice quickly . You had some warriors in Kirsten , Hudson , Macmillan , Donald .
These guys meant business .
What a shame Lance Klusener wasn’t around for the 20/20 format
I put him right up with big Viv for what of the all time great master blasters .
With him at the crease in the 99 World Cup semi I thought you guys were home .
The look on Hansies face when Donald and Klusener mixed up a single was telling
Not to mention Gibbs dropping Steve Waugh .
What great rivalry over the decades

I'm really glad I didn't watch this match. That would've aged me a few years. Amazing all the talent coming out of SA and Aus over the years. I see so many teams with SA players in them like Devon Conway and I think NZ have another that was born in SA.
I love watching the IPL and seeing some of my old heroes like Jonti and Donald still involved in the game.
Yeah I was there when SA got re-introduced to the international sporting arena and let me tell you that was a HUGE deal for the people of the country.
Being able to play again was really a dream come true for most of us. It's in the blood down there and was a huge factor in getting everyone on the same page during the transition. Watched all those first matches, we all did.

I really love beating India and England, I'll cheer for anyone else. I usually just want good matches and don't really care who wins, unless it's SA..

I just don’t wanna stink up the house. Does ardent stink it up?

Nope, no stink..........I just did a double infusion...ultimately ran the ardent twice on the same oil. 1/4lb plus, goiing into a pint of oil. Coming in hot...

No thoughts of potential noseblindness? I usually don’t smell anything but I still get weird about it sometimes. Guess it’s the oldskool in me. I’ve been to places after working in the garden, trimming, whatever and I shower thoroughly before going out. Then I notice the looks. One time at harbor freight these guys were all like, “You smell that? Daaaammmn”

 

[spyralout]

You know what sucks? I bought an Ardent and it’s been lost in the mail for months so I’m in an argument w UPS that’ll probably never be solved. I bought the combo so I’m out like over $200 ? Fkn shit man

Guys the positivity is prevailing. My Ardent was found!!! Gah it’s a lot bigger than I figured but whatever. So glad it came through!!

I guess noseblindness is possible for me, but the womenfolk here would let me know if there was anything too much smellwise going on. I smell the decarb in the oven for sure but not in the ardent.

Glad that arrived and you weren’t out 200$ . Well it took a couple hours but I made it through your thread as well. Love it, lots of gems along the way. I actually ran CC/UC RDWC for many years, but when I started up again I went back to coco (my original love) and have decided I’m just going to run both once I can get one more tent/light/fan/filter. And enjoy both worlds. I love RDWC for so many reasons, but with my phenohunts, breeding , reversals etc. it just doesn’t make sense to run it fully RDWC but I miss it very much so ?? with a little luck by summer I’ll come into some funds and be able to get back to some recirc fun! Thanks for everything you do here bro! Absolutely love this place and the people in it. The kindness and generosity I’ve already experienced is unreal! Looking forward to the future here very much. Much respect ??

Thanks for the kind words. We are certainly in a growth spurt phase for the next 3-6 months. Tons of activity, new members, vendors, etc are rolling through and seeing what all the buzz is about.

I absolutely loved RDWC, it was such an in your face live system, hard to tweak but once dialed oh so fun to actually hear the plants grow rustling around. Sometimes even a 10 min observation and you can actually SEE the growth happening. I was about to set up a stop-motion camera in there but sadly I had to end my indoor ops. Yes, RDWC is to grow a few massive plants and of course, fun. I used a bunch of @HydroRed style F&D Totes for my hunts. Things are quite different these days, but I enjoy every aspect of it.

Could you guys do us a favour ?

India almost did us a favor. Not all that convincing.

 

[Ramjet159]

Yep I always expected a tough game. I went fishing so missed it . England have shown they’re dangerous so SA will have to be at their best .
The beauty of cricket as we know is that anything can and usually does happen . Pressure does strange things . I’ll be rooting ??? for SA , fuck that word cracks me up every time I hear it . Rooting means something totally different for us .

 

[Rosinallday]

Yeah SA will have to put together a complete game to win. The English have this new aggressive mindset that maybe we can use against them. I just hope for a good game, even a low scoring thriller will do.

it reminds me one time as a kid there was an Aussie kid sitting at my group table in art class and asked me, "can you please hand me that rubber" and I was like WTF?? I said, "umm I don't got any on me man" and then he pointed to the pink eraser block and said, "that rubber over there" and then it clicked lol

Yep in the wrong circumstance misunderstandings on local lingo could cause chaos . What you call flip flops we call thongs , Rooting to us is what we did back in the 80s in the backseat of the drive in with the girlfriend . A couple legs out the window was totally acceptable .

Agreed . Their batting is geared for aggressive scoring . You’d wanna bowl tight .
20/20 is a lot like a shark attack . As soon as one team smells blood quite often it’s hard to stop .
