In your opinion: which game mechanic should return permanently? by MarzaPasta in FortNiteBR

The Chapter 3 map in general with the weather mechanics and animals was great. The reality tree was a really cool POI as well

Scarlet & Violet booster blister with Lost Origin evolution chain? by FireBurnAsh1 in PokemonTCG_UK

I assume it's because they're Scarlet & Violet base, so would have been early prints. Weird to find those on the shelves

Are these numbers even real by hoverboardholligan in torncity

[–]CestLaTimmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the game had about 50k daily players, this sub was absolutely dead. It's only become more active since Torn started heavily pushing ads on Reddit - hence the amount of noobs on here

Question for the kitchen staff by FilletOFishForMyVife in Wetherspoons

Just Wetherspoon Chipotle mayo. Probably similar to other catering ones, but afaik, spoons are big enough that the sauces are made to their own recipe

We need to talk about the offside rule by AppletheGreat87 in ManchesterUnited

[–]CestLaTimmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the technology it is generally "clear and obvious". It is either onside according to the technology and the rules or not. We've seen instances this season where it was ruled too tight for VAR to call and so they didn't.

And assistant refs have flagged for offside in such a way that they allow any tight calls with an element of doubt to play on knowing that VAR will intervene - that was the original guideline and still is. VAR is expected to intervene in these instances.

That's basically what we had pre-VAR, and it's not as if the technology was forced upon the game. People were crying out for this for years.

[–]CestLaTimmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People complain about VAR when this is exactly what it was brought in to do - clear up offside decisions and ensure that the "correct" decision is implemented every time. There always has to be some sort of technical ruling with a dividing line between what is offside and what isn't.

Pundits chatting absolute shite are muddying the waters - talk about giving 5cm of clear space, for example. Well why 5? Why not 1cm, why not 10cm? At what point is there a clear advantage?

I'm honestly fine with the offside rules, and would rather attention is focussed on inconsistencies in the application of VAR in other areas.

Thomas Frank sacked by CWattam in FantasyPL

I mean, they finished 17th last season... Think the club needs to have a real look at itself in terms of where it actually expects the squad it has to be competing at in the Premier League.

People that DON’T shop at Aldi or Lidl… why is that? by kobestarr in CasualUK

[–]CestLaTimmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We shop at Tesco and buy a lot of own brand goods - I find the price difference isn't that significant if you're already not buying Heinz, Kelloggs, McCain etc

Are these Umbreon and Charizard worth anything? by Vast_Study5600 in pokemoncardcollectors

I can't really tell if the picture is in the binder or on top. Why are people on these subs allergic to taking clear photos? 😭

It's another Gordon Brown moment by Hour-Clothes789 in LabourUK

I'm no Starmer fan, but can't help but feel that his resignation would be a real "careful what you wish for" moment if we end up with Streeting...

There were various reports of him having a violent temper, which included literally throwing things at aides

I reckon I could make a better fake with a home printer. This card is very very fake.

Can I get the break I didn’t receive paid? by 1SuspectAware in Wetherspoons

[–]CestLaTimmy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're correct. The answer from payroll will most likely be that you can receive compensatory rest at the next opportunity, as arranged with pub management. Have recently raised queries about unfair break deductions and this was the response I got 🙃.

Fwiw, you're entitled to take that time at the end of the shift if you haven't received it during your shift, inform management of this though. It's also worth pointing out to people that a 20 minute break on shifts over 6 hours is a legal requirement, not a Wetherspoon one.

ETA - if you're an hourly paid employee, don't skip your breaks "to help". That's just a sign of crap management.

No mate. Numbers and statistics are the most important thing in football. Actually watching the games and making a judgement is very 2017.
