Opaque

not able to be seen through; not transparent; impenetrable to light hard to understand; not clear

"The author's own intellectual property was deemed a violation, and the appeal mechanisms turned out to be opaque—they formally exist, but in practice, getting a decision reversed with automated review is nearly impossible."

Look, I know you’re having some cognitive dissonance issues while you’re digesting this news but it’s every single church that connects to the holy see that inherit this announcement so it’s every last one of us.

An odd game down in the smoke for the 2s ended with a 29 run Div 2B defeat to OFs.

The home team managed to post 153 with a dozen unused overs as spin was more effective than seam.

In reply, a tortuous slog had us always behind the rate, eventually managing 124 in 46+ overs!
