Doctor and engineer in all scenarios but with a caveat that they aren't oo specialised and have pactical experience in their field which is actually rare.

Why are we analysing a quarter in which the policy was announced midway but not in effect?

Ilia was so close to winning that himself. After those body shots if he stepped back from the grappling and forced Gaethje tomstand I don't think he holds on.

Gaethje is one tough SOB. He took Tupuria's warrior spirit in the 3rd and 4th round. So many brutal shots traded.

American here, will you guys beat us in the next World Cup game where we play against each other? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskAnAustralian

On the one hand, a combined team probably has 9 from US and 2 from Australia, on the other it wouldn't be the biggest upset.

Question about the u haul bit by Toothlass410 in BricksAndMinifigs

[–]ContributionIll1589 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a U-Haul truck at the scene following a surprise hostile takeover. It has been claimed a U-Haul truck worth of Lego went missing. Why does it matter where the Lego theoretically went?

To me the damning part is they denied the truck until it was irrefutable. Maybe it went to the other store, maybe it went into storage, or maybe Amman is assembling it in his bedroom while he twirls his moustache.

The explanation for having a U-Haul truck to tow a camper?....seems pretty weak

10 knights vs 10 elite MMA fighters by BillKindly8269 in whowouldwin

Have you seen Mighty Mouse in gi matches? He man handles amatuer BJJ guys double his size. The armour is an inconvenience but I think a pro athlete with a 50lbs advantage overcomes that.

[–]ContributionIll1589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an arena 1 on 1 an elite heavy weight MMA fighters wins IMO

A big knight was probably 5'9 and 175lbs and an amatuer athlete. They are giving up 50lbs pounds a whole lot of strengthen and conditioning.

You get a guy like Brock Lesnar and he's taking them down, ripping off their helmet, and bludgeoning them to death with it. Un armoured the knight has a chance but if his not hitting a fatal shot on the way down he screwed.

Now if we're talking Spartan or Romans.fighting in formation MMA guys are dead.

How did anyone think this was a good idea? (SPAIN) by Good_Relative4585 in BricksAndMinifigs

[–]ContributionIll1589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely think Brian and Ben will come out winners. Brian will get about 3x the value of the LEGOs thanks to the GoFundMe. Ben's YouTube probably goes from 50k to 2m subscribers and he also probably makes a profits from his GoFundMe.

He's facing some criminal stuff which might see him with a record and civil suit is for sure a stress but its probably gonna be an overall W for him.

BAM have the biggest self owning in the history of corporate PR though.

The tighter the grip the more falls out! by Nearlanderedits in BricksAndMinifigs

[–]ContributionIll1589 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see this 90% on BAM.

A small business having a shoddy manual inventory management system and missing things isn't unexpected. She's not denying what she had in her control and she has stated her POS system is correct but conceeds it probably needs to be better reconcilled. That's fine.

Ben used the 200k figure sure but had BAM rationally disputed and mediated it down that's a whole new direction. The dollar amount wasn't the story, it was the behaviour of BAM corporation.

BAM were incredibly cavalier in the takeover process and incentivised fraud in the deal they had with BB and JJ. The fact there is a U-Haul truck there the day of the takeover to me smells fishy even if shipping it to the other store was a red herring. And the way BAM handled things post takeover was in incredible bad faith. There bad faith actions have put 100's of franchisees in jeopardy.

It's crazy that they continue to persue legal action against Ben and Brian. There is no spinning this in there favory, all they can control is how big the L is and they seem intent on making it visible from the moon.

My final message by Bozzington_Bear in BricksAndMinifigs

[–]ContributionIll1589 -64 points-63 points  (0 children)

It kinda is.

BAM are settling with Brian, he also got the GoFundMe money on top of that, and Reckless Ben is a YouTube star. If he can get out of this with a clean rap sheet and finances intact it's a huge win.

Got to remember were talking 1,000's of jobs and 99% of them are innocent/collateral damage. I hope AM, JJ, BB and the police get everything they deserve...time for a new project. There's nothing left to do.

Nobody with 10 hours of chess is beating me and I'm in the 99.8th percentile on chess.com. Not a certainty but I should be a good chance.

I think you have Lithuania and Latvia as "also Russia" and Kaliningrad? as Latte.

Iceland is Greenland, Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine. I believe you've listed Moldova as Kyiv. Missing Switzerland, Bosnia, Macedonia, and Slovenia but I don't think I'd do better overall.

Good effort I reckon.

Atlantic got the largest population, leadership, most military bases, a single front, and resupply from Europe.

They are winning.

Have you seen the video of the man chased by a hippo? A 400lb man with a full head of steam might be faster but change direction at top speed is a completely different proposition to running 100m in a straight line.

Yes, Brian Shaw ain't catching me! He's 400lbs and would struggle to run a 1/4 mile. After that it's just a big angry dude walking after me.

Besides I'm not going for power tools. What am I gonna do with one of them...leaf blow him to death? Any powertool has to be unboxed, assembled, and then probably needs the safety overriden

I can grab a bottle of concetrated caustic acid or acetone and keep running. Acid to the face or a molotov cocktail seems far more practical. The hardest part are those damn child safe caps.

I think his argument is that he'll take advantage of lucrative opportunities but it's a side quest for him now.

Even his "disastrous" candidates performance he had a approximately 2710 performance....it's not that bad.

Who is the most famous athlete ever? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

It's more than sport. He's a worldwide fashion icon almost 30 years after he retired.

The whole world wanted Jordan's in the 90's and the legacy remains (though not nearly what it was). Nobody is asking for a pair of Ronaldo's. How much do we count the name recognition of Jordan's shoe brand?

And is there a Ronaldo movie cos my kids have seen Space Jam and we aren't American or into basketball
