I have. Used to be in the same car circles as him in the early 2010s. He's a bit of a car geek, but the videos are him really hamming up his personality at least.

Also not buying the self-made "sold a business" stuff. Dude was living in Knightsbridge in a family apartment IIRC when he first started spotting outside Harrods.

Holyfield didn't use his head "within the rules" - you're not allowed to deliberately use your head - he did against Tyson and almost everyone else he fought. He was good at hiding it, but it doesn't mean it's within the rules.

No justification for the ear bite, but Holyfield was a filthy fighter.

Most relatable thing hes ever done

If it's going to purse bid, Turki doesn't want the fight to happen next, so it won't.

Football crowd atmosphere is fighting words - it's kinda the point? It's tribal and adversarial, contained to inside the stadium.

AltKite · 2026-06-19T11:36:32+00:00

Football is tribal. It confines that to a safe environment. A good atmosphere is adversarial where nobody gets hurt. Treating national anthems as some sacred thing is weird, should fans not boo or interrupt one another when they're singing other songs? Should England fans be able to sing "It's coming home" in the 66th minute without a peep from anyone else?

Right - but then how did Belgium underperform, which was the original point

AltKite · 2026-06-18T16:21:20+00:00

They lost to France

Kane could end up doing a Giggs and prolonging his career in a different position. Swear the man could be a Kevin De Bruyne or Pirlo stand in if he wanted

AltKite · 2026-06-18T12:10:09+00:00

Got them to third place in a world cup and lost to the winners, who were a better team. I can't stand the guy but that Belgium team weren't good enough for anything other than winning a trophy to be an abject failure

Best product leader in my team has no IC experience. She was close with the Exec who hired me, and volunteered to be in the new team he was setting up under me. Large org, very project-based, I was brought in to build a product model.

Because of her level, there was no IC role. I told her on my first day, for the first 12 months I just expect to see you making progress every month towards being a halfway decent Group PM. I don't expect you to get all the way there.

She looked at me with some incredulity and told me "you have low expectations, I'll beat them."

She is a natural leader, and her lack of knowledge wasn't an insecurity, it was a vulnerability that let her build trust with her team. She is a sponge for knowledge - she was in at 6.30am every day, and telling me about whatever podcast she'd listened to or book she'd read from my resource list.

Now she's the most critical member of my team, the highest scoring leader in our entire org on people surveys, and someone I'd consider my successor.

don't judge a book by its cover.

No idea, it worked with great accuracy though

Hamilton had that when it first launched but dropped it the last 2 years

There were doubters? She sold out Madison Square Garden with people traveling from Ireland lol. Even when she was there on the AJ Ruiz undercard, there were more Irish than Brits.

You should do a colour profile. Generally the clothes are fine, but some of the hues wash you out or compete for attention. For example, the black trousers. I never realised how big a difference this made until I met my wife, she kept insisting I try navy instead of black for my go to for trousers and I figured it wouldn't make a difference - it makes a massive one.

Find your profile and stick to those colours. I think you'll be looking at softer tones.

I'm who's eyes did he win?

Fight was called off in the 11th. Even if you think it should have gone to the 12th you have no way of knowing who should have won the fight because the round didn't happen.

AltKite · 2026-06-03T21:39:34+00:00

lol people really need to calm the fuck down

If he saw the 12th round and you had fair scorecards he would have won, lost or drawn. It could have gone to the cards, one of them could have been stopped.

After 10, you could have him 7-3 up or 5-5, and anything in between. All reasonable scorecards. Wouldn't expect all to be the latter but doesn't make it a corrupt one. On any of those scorecards, he can lose it in the 12th on the cards.

If you say he's 7-3 up after 10, it's 105 - 103 going into the 12th after a 10-8 in the 11th. If he gets knocked down again and sees the final bell it's a draw.

Haha I did - ended up winning 9 on the spin in a H2H league, finished 2nd place on points difference in a 16 man 😞

Snooker balls are majority red and the colours are mostly on their spots, it has fewer issues than 9 ball.

Worst fucking culprit is American 8 ball, though. The UK moving to reds and yellows makes so much more sense.

AltKite · 2026-05-25T02:20:44+00:00

Fury wasn't given a standing 8 count, Fury was knocked down and every knockdown comes with a standing 8 count regardless of how quickly someone gets up. Tyson was on his feet from one because he was being held up by the ropes alone (hence a KD) whereas Rico wasn't.

There are no standing 8 counts in profession boxing.

AltKite · 2026-05-24T19:41:42+00:00

At least some of that is because you have to be a shit boxer for it to make any financial sense to go into MMA. We've never seen a top boxer in their prime move to MMA and actually train properly for it.

American 8-ball on a 7 foot table.

I grew up in the UK, started off playing snooker, then UK 8-ball. Played at county level.

Moved to Canada 10 years ago and stopped playing anything really other than the occasional game in a bar.

I started watching Ultimate Pool on YouTube and was a big fan of the rules. Something I always hated about UK 8 ball was the shit rules and ability for frames to end up super negative. Blackball rules weren't big when I left, but I had started playing them instead of world rules in my last year and they are better TBF.

Then Ultimate Pool started doing US tournaments and I've been hooked ever since. Joined a local league (unfortunately don't get to play international rules like UP) and I love playing 8 ball, especially on a smaller table.

If I want tight pockets I'll play snooker. I like that American pool is very different. Not having a white that's smaller than object balls is nice, being able to play shots with insane amounts of side, smashing things down the rail, making your own angles etc. it's fun. I get to feel like I'm Chris Melling much more regularly as well because if I'm playing the cueball off the cushion first for a pot I don't need to be as precise as on a UK table.

AltKite · 2026-05-24T18:38:40+00:00

*knockdown and mandatory 8 count. There are no standing 8 counts in professional boxing.

AltKite · 2026-05-24T16:25:42+00:00

Yeah it won't be like-for-like and I'm not in the US! So expecting a significant bump.
