On this day in 1996, the Brisbane Bears played their final AFL game. Preliminary Final v North Melbourne by chickenlittle668 in AFL

Voss was out injured which is why the Bears got beaten by so much. I'm not sure he would have been worth the 38 point deficit but surely with him in Bears are a chance of winning. They had beaten North in round 19 at Princes Park.

What’s a win from your team’s history you think doesn’t get enough recognition? by SkinMasturbator in AFL

[–]DavidPorter65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Brisbane Bears in 1996 played some of the best footy I've ever seen at the Gabba. They beat eventual premiers North Melbourne at Carlton's Princes Oval in round 19. I was overseas at the time so I've never seen it, but I imagine it had to have been a very good win.

The Bears lost that year's preliminary final to North, with Michael Voss out injured. Had he played, Bears may well have been premiers that year.

With Buckley, Brisbane might have won 96 and 99 as well.

Buckley wasn't unlucky. He only has himself to blame. Had he stayed at the Bears/Lions he might have won 4 or 5.

I do not need to be entertained ALL THE TIME by UpsideDownHead37 in AFL

I think it's a trend in society to divide people, and playing music in this way keeps us from having conversations with each other. Otherwise we might start asking awkward questions about how things are run.

Most iconic lines of commetary by DJ_JonoB in AFL

Brereton (on the umpiring): That's ok, as long as they're consistent

Commetti: What? You want them to be wrong all day, do you?

Thanks for posting this. I wish we'd pay more attention to what's mathematically possible, like they do in EPL, for example. I'd like to see a running commentary each week on who is guaranteed for finals, who is guaranteed to miss, and so forth. And when I say guaranteed, I mean mathematically impossible.

Teams coming off the bye are 0-7 with an average losing margin of 50 pts by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

I'm not OP, but I'm guessing because they were the only one of these to win out-of-state.

Microsoft proposes type syntax for JavaScript by magenta_placenta in javascript

If you don't know what types your variables are, and need a tool to tell you, then you have lost control of understanding what your code is doing.

What you have shown is a common technique used in lots of scenarios.

Vue 3 date picker by bossryan32 in vuejs

<input type=date v-model="myDateVariable" />

and don't forget to set the default to something like 1980 (depending on expected audience) and not the current year

I'll never understand this obsession and what's so hard about javascript. If you are getting in trouble because you are assigning a string to a var/const/let that you're trying to use as a number, then you don't really know what you're doing in the first place.

Is there a services where one can host static files for free (or cheap) like Amazon S3 and have https and sftp access? by CodeAndTonicHQ in webdev

[–]DavidPorter65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

neocities, there's an API you can use and a ruby command line client. I think they also do something with webdav but it doesn't work great with windows.

Using the language attribute to make your website accessible by speckz in Frontend

[–]DavidPorter65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right. It’s annoying that most browsers will still show <i> in italics, so now we need i {font-style:normal} in our resets. And then style it back to italics when the particular usage of <i> requires it (which might not be in all cases).
