Does Danny Wallis destroy the integrity of the results?

This is just my opinion and I'm sure many will disagree.

Danny Wallis is a cash rich clout hunter that destroys the integrity of the show. He may donate the use of the property to a charity for one year and of course thats (kinda) great but remember, for someone who is hugely cash rich, property is just a way of illiquidising and becoming more tax efficient.

He clearly doesn't value the level of build quality, design standard, lot size etc and appears to bid randomly and inconsitently - to me he's like an auction troll who gets pleasure from being in the limelight, flashing his obscene cash on national TV and generally pissing people off just for badness.

Having such a fame hungry financial whale at the auction completely removes the "best house wins" identity of The Block - it becomes Danny Wallis's dick measuring contest and I'm not here for that.

Hopefully, next year's rural based builds will have no interest to Danny Wallis and I look forward to hiim staying away.

(Also, Tanya's Big Lie was not adequately resolved in the finale and I quite understand why Rondawg was crying like a baby).

Rant over :) and look forward to seeing all you peeps next season

2021 Year in Review: A Look Back at TSCC's Year (Long)

Ah yes, it's time once again for that most cherished of holiday traditions when we pull up a chair by the fireplace, comforting beverage in hand, Minky blanket over our legs, and pause for a moment to reflect on TSCC's past year . . . then immediately spill our drink all over the carpet as we fly into an uncontrolled rage at the sheer amount of nonsense we just witnessed.

Some years it feels like an accomplishment just to make it to the end of the year, and 2021 certainly feels that way. It was a year defined by choices: masked vs. unmasked, vaxxed vs. unvaxxed, return to church vs. worship at home. With so many clamoring voices, it can be hard to know what's best, which is why we always default to the tried and true: no, not the still small voice. We are referring, of course, to loud laughter and evil speaking of the Lord's anointed. It's never let us down yet, which is why we're eager to jump right into . . .

January

After banning the word "Mormon", cutting church to 2 hours, modernizing the missionary dress code, and cozying up to other religions, church leaders look forward to taking TSCC even more mainstream in 2021 . . . only to turn on the news six days into the new year and see Captain Moroni waving the Title of Liberty at an illegal attempt to overturn a democratic election and overthrow the U.S. government. Although the Book of Mormon Captain Moroni was very much in favor of democratic elections and defending the sitting government against a group who wanted to overthrow it, Pres. Newsroom explained that today's Captain Moroni -- like the church itself -- had regrettably grown much more hardline conservative and quite a bit kookier in his old age.

Originally enthralled with the idea of God choosing a doctor to lead them during a pandemic, TBMs quickly turn on Dr. Prophet Nelson after he releases a photo of himself receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. TBMs attack Nelson's photo op in online forums, accusing him of falling for the lies of the deep state, and worrying that Bill Gates could now follow Nelson through a secret microchip. However, independent observers rated this last fear as "Highly Unlikely" after Bill Gates himself said he'd rather use Windows ME as his operating system for life rather than follow the prophet in any sense of the word.

February

Despite claiming for years that it supported the civil rights (OTHER than marriage, of course) of LGBT individuals, TSCC nevertheless issues a formal statement opposing the Equality

A year has passed since Death Metal. What are your thoughts on how continuity has been working thus far in Infinite Frontier?

Personally, I kind of love the β€œeverything is canon” schtick. It fits really well with my personal conception of comic book continuity: time doesn’t work, contradictions will eventually happen, what’s important are the stories that are important to you. Maybe it’ll backfire, but I enjoy the freedom that it gives. My favorite stories, regardless of era, matter. And I don’t have to wait for some writer to tell me.

In practice, with Infinite Frontier, it seems like writers are just allowed to integrate whatever they want from previous continuity into their stories. At least from what I can tell, this seems to be going more smoothly than with Rebirth. I feel like then, DC tried to give too many explanations for why things had changed in the New 52. Wally wasn’t there cause he was trapped in the speed force, Diana’s false memories, etc. I know Doomsday Clock was meant to explain Rebirth, but I think it was published too late to be the wide-reaching reset it could’ve been. Death Metal concluded before Infinite Frontier began and I think it explained it well enough.

I know we like to complain, but I’ve just been remarkably pleased with the trajectory of the DCU this past year and I was just wondering what you all thought.

1147 Members! Christmas eve update

Hello and a merry Christmas.

Welcome to all our new members. It is great to have you all with us as we make our way towards 2022.

Recent questions
Why does the top 10 wallets on tinyChart hold so many CHIPS?
Wallet number 1 is the companies wally with just over 78%. This will be release slowly, very slowly through things like the faucet, freeroll poker, payments to 3rd parties for work, partnerships, and things that companies spend money on in general.
Wallet number 2 is my CEO Wallet with 100 Million CHIPS 10%
the third wallet is the Tinyman pool wallet with 1.1% at the time of writing, and then followed by a few whales.

It can look a bit scary at how centralised our token is at the moment. Please do not forget that we are a new project and we will get out there. I will be slow and careful about this.

Are you using 3rd party software?
Yes of course, we use lots of 3rd part software. Algorand SDK, PyCharm from Jetbrains etc. However I am sure that this question is related to the roulette software. Yes we have licensed some software from a 3rd party for this. Licensing software allows us to concentrate on the blockchain integration. The gaming fundamentals are already built, and it would be silly of us to start from scratch when we can leverage already built software.
We will be doing something similar with our poker software. I have already been in contact with two companies about this. Similarly our software will be continuously evaluated, and updated/changed if we feel it is necessary. We need our gamers to have the best possible experience.
As the saying goes, there is no point in reinventing the wheel. What we are doing is trying to fit that wheel onto the Algorand Blockchain.
Software licensing will be published on our website when the time is right.

Partnerships with other platforms
We do not currently have any partners on the Algorand blockchain. We had a informal meeting with Algorand INC business development exploring some options that are open to us in the future. This was informal with no ground-breaking news. We will likely meet with them again in the new year. If there is something amazing that comes from these meetings, it will be announced when the time is right.
We have no relationship with Yieldly. I have seen some rumours, and I get asked about this a lot. We will explore a relationship with Yieldy next year after our use case is out there and working, not before. Remember though,

How the hell are Kansas not in the R&R HoF?!

You may have heard about Kansas; whether it be from their hits Carry On Wayward Son, Dust in the Wind, and Point of Know Return, or you may be an actual fan such as myself that knows most of their songs by heart and appreciates masterpieces like Icarus-Borne on Wings of Steele, Journey from Mariabronn, The Wall, Incomudro-Hymn to the Atman, and Song for America. They were just a group of six country bumpkins who made it big through hard work, determination, and love for music. Always sticking true to themselves despite corporate pressure, they are an interesting bunch. Regardless, without further ado, let's get into why I think they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and why it's absurd that they aren't.

Every now and then I ponder this thought and it gets me pissed every time, moreso now because of the fact that Robby Steinhardt died this summer and he'll never get to see Kansas inducted if that ever becomes a reality. It's just so sad to think about and quite frankly, an outrage. He is the reason Kansas got a record deal in the first place. His violin is what made Kansas unique. Don Kirshner's right-hand man Wally Gould heard Robby play, and because of that he decided to give them a deal.

Let's look at the facts. Truthfully, Kansas were the ones to introduce and make progressive rock mainstream in North America, and there hasn't been a single U.S. prog band that has been as successful as them. It's absurd. As far as I am concerned, and whether you're a Kansas fan or not, you can't deny they should be an American treasure in the music industry. Back to them being the only really successful American prog band, they were America's answer to giants like Yes and Genesis. When they toured with bigger bands at the start of their career, most of the time they stole the show from the main acts!

Phil Ehart (the drummer) recalls a story in their Miracles Out of Nowehere documentary where they were doing a concert in Wichita, Kansas during the time they were touring with Aerosmith as an opener. They were doing so well, they got called out for at least two encores. Meanwhile, Steven Tyler got so pissed (he has a history of throwing tantrums and pulling the plug on bands who had a good show going), that he starts pacing and pulling chords out of outlets! Luckily one of their roadies got the idea to reroute electricity to the other side of the stage and they finished the gig with style. This story just goes to show how hungry and what a f

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

[American Comics/DC Comics] The Saga of Cassandra Cain's Batgirl (Or: How to Put a Popular Minority Superhero Through a Character Assassination So Thorough She Disappeared From Comics For Nearly A Decade Afterwards)

Bouncing off of the Batgirls drama write-up I saw a few days ago, I noticed several people who were interested in hearing more comics drama, so I figured I'd do a write-up on one of the most infamous and damaging things DC Comics has ever done to a singular character (short of detailing what Grant Morrison did to Talia al Ghul). How do you take a popular minority hero with a Top 15-selling solo series who was part of the core Batman cast and turn her into an obscure d-list character who didn't get a true spotlight focus for nearly 15 years afterwards? DC Comics found a way. So let's talk about Cassandra Cain. Warning: this post is long as hell, so settle in.

The Backdrop

The year is 1998. After the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd, in 1988 (infamously decided by a phone poll so close DC still has the pages they would have published if readers had voted for him to live) and the subsequent introduction of the third Robin, Tim Drake, in 1989, the Batman franchise was once again in a narrative place where it could support multiple connected characters. There hadn't been an active Batgirl in over a decade since Barbara "Babs" Gordon had voluntarily hung up the cape in 1986, subsequently been shot in the spine and fridged in The Killing Joke, and later re-invented as the wheelchair-bound hacker and information broker Oracle in John Ostrander and Kim Yale's Suicide Squad. The number of recurring female heroes in the Batman books was approximately three: Stephanie Brown/Spoiler (a recurring fan-favorite in Tim's Robin solo), Helena Bertinelli/Huntress (featured regularly in various Bat books with occasional solo appearances), and Barbara as Oracle (who was also co-founder and leader of the independent Birds of Prey team book).

Enter DCU Executive Editor Mike Carlin with a definitive assertion to Bat Office Editor Scott Peterson after years of hinting that the Batman books needed a new female hero: "Create a new Batgirl. Or I will." Peterson was resistant, thinking the Batgirl role should die with Babs, but "an edict was an edict," and so he started brainstorming. After a day or two, he called up write
