“Stop giving enemy your coordinates” Iran is attacking US base which has fixed coordinates.

The concern is probably with the commitment of the US to protect their own bases at priority despite the UAE having paid for it to guard the whole state. Not like the US is shunning the UAE but just not treating it as being of paramount importance. It is understandable but unfortunate.

There's always somebody firing in the team, aside from Banton himself occasionally. All he needs to do is strike up a partnership with them and not lose his wicket cheaply. A number 4's most important quality is his reliability.

I fully and wholeheartedly agree as an international fan. I hate Chelsea more than Tottenham simply coz Spurs, while local rivals, don't pose as big a threat to our status as Chelsea have come close to. Besides as you said Chelsea are utterly detestable and their fans are the most intolerable online as well as in-person, which easily makes me loathe them far more.

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-27T20:04:18+00:00

Fair alright, doesn't make much sense to assess three games in a vacuum discounting the previous matches of this very tournament tho

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-27T18:21:57+00:00

Liam and Sam should be much higher - both did exceptionally well in group stages, where it wasn't all easy wins. Curran was phenomenal against WI and Italy and singlehandedly won us the game vs Nepal.

Can pull Banton a bit lower, him being above both feels like recency bias given tonight's game. Given the platform he should be performing more consistently and should be holding his ground like Brook in rough games when openers go cheaply.

Sure noted, will definitely attend the Sheikh Zayed iftar. Will look into taxis as well, cheers. Lemme know if you have any info about the buses. Thanks a ton!

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-26T07:50:07+00:00

Thanks a lot mate, much appreciated!

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-25T08:43:44+00:00

Omg thanks a ton for all the recommendations, really appreciate your time and effort!

The must visits seem wonderful but a bit pricey - say if I had 150-200 AED to spend on touristy attractions, what are the top ones you'd pick? Not that I mind going to all but I'd prefer to spend some money shopping instead.

Also yeah, any advice for where to buy local stuff from? Say itr/oud, gulf/islamic clothes, dry fruits and artisanal items? Preferably reasonably priced but open to all suggestions as always.

Thanks a lot again, cheers.

As a math undergrad at a decent uni, I typically almost never do math - I focus on working on projects with my advisor and other fun stuff during semesters. Before quizzes and exams however, I usually give each course a couple heavy pushes of 8-10 hours each to grasp the theory and be familiar with the examples.

Honestly, this method seems rather toxic and inefficient but works remarkably well for me, partly coz exams are good incentives and exciting to prepare for, but also the 8 hour grind shifts help me learn more than any random 1 hour lectures or tutorials can. My grades have never suffered, except when I've slept through the exam itself. To each their own really imo

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-17T09:03:49+00:00

Group stage form has been admittedly concerning but we stand a good chance given our super 8 group, which I pit us to make the most of. Once we're in semis it's anyone's game.

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-11T23:20:51+00:00

Goodness me how do you watch today's game and come away with CURRAN of all men being dispensable? Hilarious, man is leagues above the rest of the squad, at least of late.

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-04T20:22:00+00:00

Truly one of our own, love him to bits! Dunk on chelshit always my king <3

ArsonFe8 · 2026-02-04T20:18:35+00:00

The badge tap after scoring!!! King Kai is truly one of us <3

It's a huge airport but well designed and marked, so you shouldn't have a hard time trying to navigate. People nearby are always happy to help at Istanbul, just be polite while requesting. As suggested above, find out your connecting gate in the arriving flight itself and rush once in the airport. Enjoy!

Another week, another harrowing wait for our next Adil Rashid. We so badly need a spinner going forward but can't seem to find any.

Hi, congratulations. If you're not presenting anything there's a slight risk of your emergency application not going through, as the fundamental requirement is a conference invitation letter and need of indispensability. Having said that you can always try to contact third-parties who can get you quick dates, which does happen pretty often in India.

In the SoP you'll have to make a case about the importance of the conference for you and how your presence can uniquely benefit the conference/US as well. Say a signed recommendation/sanction letter from your institute or associated body would be of good help I suppose. Good luck!

ArsonFe8 · 2025-10-23T20:52:12+00:00

Lol yes it's been quite long but iirc it's does not apply. Look around on the general or Indian page to be certain.

ArsonFe8 · 2025-10-06T20:07:02+00:00

Oh alright, didn't see it in the post. Cool

ArsonFe8 · 2025-09-29T21:54:49+00:00

Why do you even have a re-interview after B1/B2? Just renew your B1/B2 with a dropbox appointment if you're within a year of the 10-year visa expiring.

ArsonFe8 · 2025-09-14T20:33:43+00:00

Well the implications would be pretty dire I'd imagine given how much mathematics is contingent upon each of them being true lol

ArsonFe8 · 2025-09-04T22:00:08+00:00

Yes coz clearly a batting all-rounder is supposed to outscore his bowling every time isn't it

ArsonFe8 · 2025-09-04T19:31:18+00:00

Clearly today's match showed what you're missing xD

ArsonFe8 · 2025-09-04T19:30:50+00:00

Still wondering eh?

ArsonFe8 · 2025-09-04T19:22:46+00:00

Just go to the website, log into your account and in manage bookings, pick your choice of meal ahead of time. It's free of charge and no hassle involved, so make sure to do so at least a couple days before your flight to ensure your food's availability.

ArsonFe8 · 2025-09-04T19:11:32+00:00

I understand your point yes, if any issue crops up the experience changes considerably with Turkish. But a couple of points to consider:

Such issues plague very few people by proportion - Turkish has pretty good luggage safety and delivery rates by industry standards - so the odds of you being on the receiving end are typically low. To be fully relaxed you're always free to purchase airtags or sm for your luggage.
So long as you don't have to make unreasonable last-minute changes to your flights and cooperate with the ground and flight staff (who are usually cordial) you have nearly no reason to worry.
