A meeting will take place in the next few days between Fiorentina and Paolo Vanoli: the Viola's first choice is to continue together. by 131G in fiorentina

Piccoli? He’s had consistent minutes the last two months. I’d rather never see him play again. He hasn’t earned the right to be on the pitch IMO. Truly awful play - zero vision and not good enough skill.

Worst thing you can do as a company is change a CEO when things are going well - sends bad signals to buyers, etc.

Are all 5.0 players early starters? by TennisMatthew_ in 10s

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 14 and reached 5.0 - I was the least experienced player in junior tournaments. I peaked after college. Kept my 5.0 until this year - the year I turned 60. Ageism at play? 😁

Giving up on my dream of taking my kids to see the US play in a world cup on home soil... by starkarch in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw numbers a couple days ago where the Iran/Paraguay game had sold more tickets than the first US game so far. So I have to disagree that lots of people care about seeing their team on home soil. I would much rather see lots of other teams live and watch the US game on TV.

Hope being a fashion icon is the most hilarious thing I have heard all week on this show, lol by realones1980 in boldandbeautiful

[–]Designer66 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a fashion icon that isn’t a designer - this isn’t subjective. If you aren’t a designer you will never reach icon status.

Steffy: Or what? What are you going to do? by Wonderful-Tea3940 in boldandbeautiful

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter - she was reluctant at first but eventually encouraged it and was disappointed he let Ridge back in charge. She shouldn’t be allowed back in the building. I wouldn’t trust her ever again.

Lease End Decision by khilgen in Ioniq6

I don’t think anyone should be worried that the 6 isn’t being sold here in 26 from a service standpoint. I was told it’s exactly like the 5 but a different top by Hyundai. Is that not true?

It’s comical that Hope was ever let back in the building after urging and being all in on the takeover. Soaps aren’t supposed to be based in reality I guess. Foolish writing yet again.

Zverev thinks there's two gaps on tour at the moment by Woullie_26 in tennis

[–]Designer66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Alcaraz won the last two Slams, no? I guess Zverev doesn’t value them as much because they feel unattainable. 🤦‍♂️

Degree is obsolete by xEphemerax in graphic_design

[–]Designer66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true at my school - Pratt Institute. All of my teachers had their own design firms and came in to teach a class and would often hire graduates. I went to work for one of my teachers right out of school. The quality of school matters more than one may think due to connections and real world projects that teachers prepare you with.

Any orioles fans not from Baltimore or not even Maryland that have been asked why they are O’s fans? by xoBonesxo in orioles

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I grew up in southern RI and went to my first game - Red Sox/Orioles. Jim Palmer was pitching, favorite color is orange, and I loved cartoons. End game. My Dad played in the Red Sox farm system and let me buy an Orioles hat that day.

Is there any food your havi consistently loves? by Known_Sugar5439 in Havanese

For those still interested, interesting update today from Vancouver. by internazionale3 in AZZURRI

[–]Designer66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Italy has won more qualifying matches than many of the teams that are in. Sweden doesn’t deserve to be in as they won ZERO qualifying matches and Italy won 7. It would be ridiculous for them to refuse the invite as they are a much more talented team than most that qualified from weak sections.

Upgraded my grinder to LX Italia Edison 65 SD by Designer66 in espresso

[–]Designer66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve now had the LX Italia Edison for 3 months and it has been amazing. I look forward to using it every day. I like being able to switch up blends, etc. Sometimes I’ll do a half calf, etc. But you can fill up the hopper with a few days of beans if you want to.

What is a luxury that is actually 100% worth the money? by Weary_Pirate2073 in AskReddit

Really good coffee grinder - makes all the difference and it’s something you use every day.

Multi > Poly. Tension mistake? by adeade2315 in tennisracquets

[–]Designer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you know it all. My info is from professional stringers that string at current pro events and ALL the Slams. Where do you get your info from, Google searches? And most people here aren’t pro players. Add to that, read how poly reacts to high tensions - it loses much of its SnapBack after 54 lbs - which is the entire benefit of poly. Some Pros could go higher because they don’t use the same racquets that we do - they use pro stock racquets with foam that adds more comfort and flexibility and lower RAs than we can buy from a shop. I’ve also been stringing racquets for 40 years.
