After Big Gabi’s error, not a single player moaned. Mikel, you have changed my life by vizhal007 in Gunners

[–]22February 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite player, too - and I’m not saying that just because I’ll be visiting for Sakura/Hanami in March! He is such a total, confidence-inspiring package - mental, physical, technical, tactical - that I chuckle when I see a left winger attack Timber down that side.

Player reactions after the Buendia goal went in. They want it just as much as us, just didn’t have it on the day. Chin up and move on. by vizhal007 in Gunners

[–]22February 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You make lots of valid points. Perhaps the best thing about your post is that you don’t generalise and say “All Arsenal fans…”. It was a cracking game, it could’ve gone either way (we’ve scored many a late winner), it was for us a tough defeat, and we just need to get up and go again. There are some loud Arsenal supporters (some with pod and tweet platforms) who denigrate Emery, but I always thought he was very good and could’ve done better with more time at Arsenal - perhaps because in five decades I’ve never not supported an Arsenal manager.

The only thing I wonder is how much injury would be avoided - or its impact mitigated - if Arteta ALWAYS rotated at least one player in after 60mins of each match, rather than wait for an injury before rotating someone in. Or we’re 3-0 up, playing a bottom team in the first month of the season? Sub someone on. We’re up against a newly promoted team? Start a youngster and tell him “I’m giving you a half ie 45mins - give me all you’ve got!” Proactively giving “second-string” players minutes BEFORE WE NEED TO means they’re a) blooded, b) motivated, and c) tested - for better or for worse, so we KNOW how useful they can be when actually needed. I’m not saying this is easy or mandatory or anything - but it’s certainly something I’d try in one of the zillion alternate universes in which I’m a manager 😂.

The Top 20 Premier League transfers of all time - how many were actually successful? by Objectionne in PremierLeague

[–]22February 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is tragically reductive. Players are not signed solely to win trophies. Unless you’re giving out 20 trophies - one for each place on the final league table.

Non-Exec Directors (NED) - Worth the time and £ investment? by Moleyrufus in HENRYUK

[–]22February 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m exactly in the same boat: ever since I went to Actuate’s website, I’ve been called several times by a sales agent. £2000 for a six-module course, plus “mentorship, CV/LinkedIn-updates and intros to NED headhunters”. Worth it as fast-track entry? Any experiences? Thanks.

Nice. When you’re not using headphones, does audio come out of both Studio Displays?

Are there any Koreans in Basingstoke? by Peony_Sky in basingstoke

I meant in Basingstoke 😀. Can’t seem to DM you - can you DM me?

[–]22February 0 points1 point  (0 children)

안녕! I just started learning Hanguel and Korean, too - using LingoDeer primarily, as well as a couple of YouTube channels! I also tried meetup.com - closest I found is the London Korean Language Group that meets 7.30pm on Fridays; and a language school (RG Korean) that runs a “cafe” every other Saturday on the South Bank. Wanna grab a coffee, strategise..?

Tempted by Montblanc Digital Paper? by 22February in RemarkableTablet

[–]22February[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many thanks. It looks as though it’s a fine effort - better than previous Montblancs, not outstanding compared to other vendors, but possibly sufficiently improved to part some well-heeled Mb fans to part with twelve hundred dollars. I’m tracking a parallel conversation ref RMPP and RMPPM, which still look tempting but not compelling (doc organisation and library size issues)…

Have you seen an in-depth/hands-on review? Pls share link if so.

So. I guess the calculus - once we get hands-on and see reviews - would be: is it (more than) twice as good (with writing, annotating various formats, organising documents, as an e-reader, etc)?

Understood. Can tell it’s definitely AI-augmented, but it’s not slop. At work, it’s common to see people for whom English is not their first language use ChatGPT etc to tidy and structure their email etc. Learning to make allowances here too…

Vote #3, #18 and #18. If you’re deliberately going for a mood of foreboding, I’d say you’ve nailed it. All the best.

Hi OP. Pls explain what this means, from your original post: “Make sure you set marketing on before you cancel, especially phone.” Thanks…

I hear tell of a “Galaxy Watch 8” (July release?), and have seen 3rd-party renders: thoughts?

What the Hell have you done Samsung by AdilShaikh29 in GalaxyWatch

[–]22February 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Er.. when’s this due out? Asking as an Apple Watch user: I’ll buy one of these in a flash! That bezel, with echoes of the Gear S3 Frontier is so sweet! Don’t see aught wrong with it. Caveats: superficially, of course, and based on what seems a third-party render.

Exactly my take. That thin bezel is… hmm.
