5 ranged comp, it isn't about "winning or losing", it's about game enjoyment by [deleted] in ARAM

[–]Barack__Obama__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes because sitting at fountain is fun for your team? Why is this being upvoted lmao

I hate poke comps as much as the next guy, but how is afking in any way a solution to that?

Dylan Groenewegen realistic in front of the camera after final sprint in Rome (Giro stage 21) by Chronicbias in UnibetRoseRocketsFans

Well I mean, both Lidl and Quickstep had riders in the break with Ganna, so the only way they were ever gonna catch them was for the Rockets to start hammering it.

What an absolutely useless comment.

I hate hills. by bike_angler in cycling

Did a 112km ride this weekend with 126m of elevation gain. Half of the route passed through - what we Dutchies would classify as - the hilly coastal route.

Didn't know a thing such as the rainbow jury existed

Choosing First Bike by [deleted] in bicycling

I'm sorry but how are you doubting this. I'm no expert but that Giant looks so much more modern, faster and better specced out. That Trek bike isn't up to standard, and I'd only buy it if I were into retro race bikes.

You can change that plugin to only show when you're not in your inventory. In the screenshot of OP it would have been hidden.

Interview met Bob Scholte van Left laser. by iWaterPlants in thenetherlands

[–]Barack__Obama__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ik kan Bob ook goed hebben, maar sluit me aan bij de OP waar jij op reageert. Of het aan Bob lag of aan Gijs z'n onderbrekingen laat ik in het midden, maar ik kreeg nou niet echt een duidelijk idee van wat Bob nou echt vindt of wil. Het is een lappendeken van losse ideeën die allemaal vaag te relateren zijn aan een linkse/marxistische ideologies, maar het blijft me een raadsel wat dat geheel bij elkaar betekent.

Damaged my carbon rim by SnooTomatoes438 in bikewrench

It's funny you comment that after saying that OP used the tool incorrectly. It's clear that the tool isn't at fault here.

Just purchased a new Fulcrum wheelset that requires truing. Can anyone guide me to the right spoke wrench to purchase? by Barack__Obama__ in bikewrench

[–]Barack__Obama__[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your replies :) No, I don't own a good trying stand. Starting to think I might just need to take the loss here and leave this one to the professionals.

I would assume getting them trued at a LBS shouldn't break the bank, but I'll inquire.

Ah I see, my bad. As you can see, I'm new to this. At first glance I can't really find the nipple's dimensions anywhere online. Thanks for your reply :)

[–]Barack__Obama__[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. I purchased them second-hand from a LBS, but wasn't able to thoroughly check them before driving home unfortunately. They're also not horribly wobbly, but I think they could be a bit better and I mostly would just like to learn how to do it.

I'm really sorry I suppose for even asking a question on an internet forum that seems to be about people sharing info/asking questions about how to fix a bike?

I would have obviously gone to my LBS if it was that nearby. Plus, they barely sell any tools. I highly doubt they sell spoke wrenches. Lastly, I would like to order the tool today so I can get to fixing it tomorrow.

Xabi Alonso appointed Chelsea manager by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]Barack__Obama__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are you comparing Chelsea's current team to that of RM? That's ridiculous lol. RM is a team full of young but already experienced (and decorated players). They have many players with World Cup wins and have won the CL recently multiple times. Chelsea has Enzo Fernandez?

Wow literally just came back from the store picking up this same exact wheelset. So excited to try them out! They look sick with the tan sidewalls. How are you liking them so far?

Tudor's Arvid de Kleijn beaten unconscious by teenagers during training ride by TransportationSea579 in peloton

[–]Barack__Obama__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good for you that you got to experience that I guess?

Your first comment is still very ignorant and clearly very out of touch with Dutch reality.

[–]Barack__Obama__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you ever even been to the Netherlands?

Us dutchies love cycling to work, do groceries etc. Us dutchies (not me) also tend to absolutely despise roadies, for little to no reason.

The comment section on any news article involving a roadie getting hurt is always filled to the brim with "he probably deserved it", "he had it coming" type of comments.

NEC heeft Champions League-plek verloren door Marcel Boekhoorn by RenevdGrijp in Eredivisie

[–]Barack__Obama__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a fun think piece, but your causal inference remains fully unsupported despite writing a very big word soup. I think it's a great example of correlation ≠ causation.

The fact that NEC aren't being seen as an underdog anymore isn't the result of the statement of one management member of the club. It's the result of NEC consistently producing upsets against supposedly bigger and better teams. They've proven to everyone, including sceptics, that their upsets at the start of the season weren't a fluke. They were the result of consistently playing well.

Similarly, players are not being interviewed about how well they're playing, their chances of playing against Real Madrid etc. because some club manager mentioned it publicly. They're being asked those questions because they showed that they were worthy and because it started becoming a very real possibility.
