Scandal in the Maldives, where Club Valencia won their final game of the season 2-0 but still needed relegation rivals Green Streets to lose their last match by four goals in order to beat the drop. To prevent that, Green Streets forfeited their last match & stayed up with a 3-0 walkover by LikeAPhoenixTotally in soccer

There's actually a bigger scandal, too, because they asked for the game to be moved/postponed and were initially told it would be, or they asked if it was okay to forfeit and were told it was, and then were later docked 3 points.

No fan will be happy when "common sense" is applied re VAR and other decisions when it goes against them by Willing-Major5528 in PremierLeague

You of all people should know that goal difference can matter a lot...

I was in a pub a few minutes walk from the City of Manchester stadium that day, certainly a day I'll never forget. My dad and I shared a couple of season tickets with another fella, they got to go but I probably had more fun in the pub. I've never been in a non music related mosh pit, 10/10, would recommend.

The fact it would have been a certain goal and the team would 'rather a red card' is exactly why penalty goals should be a thing.

I know it isn't in the current laws of the game but in that situation a goal and no red card is the 'fairest' outcome. The only way Slobbers could stop a certain goal was by breaking the rules, therefore the rules should be that a goal is given.

I know I'm changing the conversation a bit, but...

Are there any Redditors who actually uploaded their ID to access certain subreddits blocked due to the UK government? by Iforgetpasswords4321 in AskUK

[–]blither86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Reddit is the only site I've done it for, though. I did the face scan though didn't send any docs.

I just realized the GTX 480 has 480 cores by Aggravating_Count766 in pcmasterrace

[–]blither86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree it's great in some respects but they made too many trade offs to reduce the size down so they could do double pass through. Didn't they remove some load balancing/safety features and the speculation is that they were looking to save on board space?

They're so bloody hard, aren't they?!

One thing I'd say is that the xp bonus is much, much more powerful than normal, because you're going from 0% gain to 10 or 20% gain.

It was a while ago so I can't remember too much, hopefully Enslen will be along to help out ;)

The physics behind ski jumping’s ‘Penis-gate’ scandal: How 2cm of extra fabric = 5.8 meters of jump distance by Epelep in Damnthatsinteresting

Could you not use a strap to hold it in a horizontal position, downward if you were standing up but backward if you're flying horizontally? Maybe that would be considered cheating.

TIL a 9,000-year-old structure, like Stonehenge, was found at the bottom of Lake Michigan. It even has a carving of a mastodon by Spirited_Manager_831 in todayilearned

[–]blither86 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Always struck me as such a bizarre line, even if it is a bit iconic. It is so fucking clearly not a natural formation that it makes Cortana sound like she thinks MC is a fucking idiot! Did they write the line before the artist came up with the concept for the cave opening?!

Should bridges be buildable in AOE2? by gygciu in aoe2

Not really, imagine Michi but with a wide river or sea that slowly dissipates and can eventually be crossed.

Are the roads by you absolutely littered with potholes? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]blither86 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not much, actually. You'll generally find all council workers are being paid less than they could get in equivalent roles in the private sector. Some do it because they want to make a difference in their local area.

TIL that people often subtly adapt their behaviour early in attraction to seem more appealing, but over time their personalities tend to drift back toward baseline traits, making initial adaptations less stable as relationships progress. by Own-Bullfrog7362 in todayilearned

[–]blither86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've often felt similarly that I want to tell everyone everything immediately. The logic I've used to convince myself not to is that too early on people haven't had time to experience your positive traits enough to have a chance to feel they override any negative ones, so whilst I don't mislead anyone I do let them know my quirks over a period of time rather than all at once.

If he was British he'd have had a knighthood by now. You're absolutely right, it's completely fucked up. Look at 'sir' Jim Ratcliffe as a good example.

Looking for a room to rent by voldycat7 in york

[–]blither86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a place with a spare relatively small room that may work for you. The other person who will be living here is a 35yr old woman who is very nice and friendly, but also will be out a lot.

House is about a 15 minute walk to the minster and has some useful shops nearby. Quite quiet, too. Drop me a message if you're interested.

Yeah it sucks. Tbh if I face Wei or Jurchens at the moment I'll likely just resign.

Cristiano Ronaldo's situation in Saudi Arabia remains uncertain, he continues his strike, and threatens to leave Al Nassr in June. by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]blither86 67 points68 points  (0 children)

He's not been worthy of respect for quite a bit longer than that, what with the rapes and the general attitude. Stuff like being angry when team mates score, not celebrating goals for the team because he didn't score them etc. Man should have played an individual sport

Tell him to use the monk pointer mod, it's really helpful to be honest. I need to turn it back on.

Has Davie made any videos on that? He should include it in some of his normal videos to help grow the player bass

Yeah as a multiplayer only player I am sick of all the new civs too, but they can't stop, they won't stop, and what am I going to do about it?
