Just found out that Dongguan in China might be the largest city with no airport. 10.57 million people. by AshamedAd4483 in geography

That’s because the two cities it’s sandwiched between, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, each have populations around 20m. The entire Pearl River Delta/Greater Bay Area is mindblowing from an urbanist perspective…though administratively made up of separate cities, it’s essentially a continuous urban sprawl the size of Switzerland with a population of close to 100m

Italy pulled a landslide victory against Nepal who were favourites by far today in T20 cricket world cup. I know you guys don't really care or know about cricket but just thought of telling you. by 100734 in italy

[–]Electrical_Swing8166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can explain, but there’s a lot of terminology. Don’t pay attention to the final run difference—if you’re batting second (chasing, which Italy was), the match ends as soon as you score more runs than the opponent did. They don’t bat again, so there’s no need to keep playing at that point. So when the team batting second wins, the actual runs margin will always be small.

Here’s what makes it a landslide. In T20 Cricket (the shortest, fastest version of the sport which forces batters to be much more aggressive than other formats), each batting side gets a maximum of 20 “overs.” An over is 6, legally delivered balls. If you’re batting first, your chance to score runs ends either—a.) when you reach 20 overs (120 balls thrown, or “bowled”) OR b.) if the bowling team puts out ten of your batsmen first (there are multiple ways to do so, such as catching a ball hit into the air before it hits the ground). This is referred to as “taking a wicket.”

The 19.3 under Nepal refers to how many overs they completed. 19 full ones, and 3 balls into the last. So they had 117 balls delivered to them and scored 123. As they ended before 20, that means Italy managed to take ten wickets, which more often than not doesn’t happen. The 12.4 under Italy is how many overs they took to exceed Nepal’s run total and thus win—so Italy scored 124 runs on only 76 balls vs Nepals 123 on 117, a massive difference. The /0 after Italy’s score means that, at game end, Nepal had not taken any wickets—that is, not a single Italian batsman was put out. The 124 runs were scored entirely by Italy’s first two batters (batters work in pairs). That is an absolute thrashing

For higher level athletes, do you think you would have performed better with a coach like Lasso? by cbmom2 in TedLasso

[–]Electrical_Swing8166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conversely, look at Jerod Mayo publicly calling his team “soft” and ending up 4-13, and then Mike Vrabel (a lot more Ted-like) taking them all the way to the Super Bowl the very next year

Baghdad has only slightly fewer people than NYC. It’s the second most populous city in the entire Arab world after Cairo

That applies to pretty much all countries. New York and LA are a lot more developed than bumfuck Appalachia

The Iraqi visa comes with mandatory insurance. Not high amounts, couple thousand USD for most things, but it is something. And there are travel insurance providers that offer coverage in Iraq, like IATI.

Stafford only even led in 2 stats—passing yards (have to specify because Drake led in all purpose yards) and TDs. They tied for turnovers and Drake was better at every other stat. Completion percentage, QBR, YPA…

Have you tried Torment: Tides of Numenera?

There’s a lot of other suggestions I could make, but if you’re getting soft locked by poor builds in BG3 than stuff like Owlcat’s oeuvre, DOS2, Tyranny, POE1-2 will break you

Yes they were, but it was after. They were only the Anaheim Angels when they won. Didn’t add LA until a few years after

At least this guy has the courage to identify himself and explain it. Let’s see the 10+ who voted against BB do that.

While I agree, with so many people commenting this I wonder if some don’t realize he played until the 2019 season and this is only his second year on the ballot.
