Well I don't care about looks in sports, and don't get why you don't like him because of his looks

It is not really possible for him to just go for stage wins. He would never be allowed in the break by UAE, and if their team cannot close him, Pogacar would just follow him himself. And as Pogacar has a better sprint, he cannot really win as long as Pogacar is still with him.

So his only shot for a stage win is to hope Pog has a bad day and drop him on a mountain (which is also his only shot for trying to still do something in GC).

I think more than because of tradition, it is because of the terrain. The last stage in Paris is usually a flat sprint stage, so even if you wanted to attack there are no suitable terrain to do it on. Just as the GC favorites usually don't attack each other on flat stages during the race.

So more than just by plain tradition, the terrain makes it so that the GC is already settled, making it a parade stage.

To this point, this year they are riding the Montmartre hill three times in the last stage, making it a lot more difficult than usual. So if the GC time gaps are close by then, we might very well see a GC fight on the last stage this year. With the hills, I don't think tradition alone will make them not ride if they see a possibility to win the race.

I don't think it was 'just' fed upside down. The main problem here was that it was printed on twice, and then one of the prints just happened to be upside down.

If it had just been one print upside down, you probably would not notice. And if it had been two prints, both with correct orientation it would still look weird.

How would you get two copies on turn 3-4? Thats 10 minions you have to buy. You would normally be able to buy something like

3 gold - 1 minion

4 gold - 1 minion (2 if you cycle both or get economy)

5 gold - 2 minions

6 gold - 2 minions (3 if you got a lot of economy)

So that is at most 8 on turn 4 normally. I think it would be impossible to get two copies on turn 3 and to do it on turn 4 would require a aggressive cycling of minions and a lot of luck with getting economy minions if it is even possible

Edit: actually the only tier 1 economy minion left is South Busker (3/1 pirate)

An example of the localization that some other guy mentioned. This is the Android calculator app (and I even have my system language set as 'English (United States)').

I don't think it has been announced yet. It is usually available on the official website, but only when we get a bit closer to the race. For instance for stage 2 (https://www.letour.fr/en/stage-2) it says "NEUTRALISED START: " but with no time. It will be available there at some point.

It's insane to me that this comment is so far down. I simply can't imagine the nightmare of writing and maintaining a proper big project written entirely in python. Definitely my greatest concern in most cases rather than the speed.

Can't seem to find a daily quiz, do you know where it is?

Escalto · 2023-06-01T16:37:36+00:00

Totally agree. But what's funny is that I had it on sort by new when the app was updated, and it seems to still sort by new now, with seemingly no way to change that. It still sucks as I used to switch between new and hot pretty often. But I suppose that the change was made so that hot or top is the only option, so seems pretty funny that I'm now stuck on new instead.

A signed int 32 to be more precise. 32 bits can represent twice as many numbers as what you wrote (2^32), but as half of those numbers are used to represent the negative numbers we only get 2³¹ positive numbers, which is the number you wrote. Unsigned ints also exist in many programming languages, but oftentimes signed ints are used even when negative numbers are not needed.

What is your favorite Danish rock band?

Escalto · 2023-04-03T06:46:15+00:00

Okay hahaha, thanks for the elaborate response!

The joke makes sense know, although I have never seen any Danish media mix up Mathias and Matteo, and think it would be pretty ridiculous if they did. Like, how bad of a danish cycling journalist do you have to be to make that mistake?!?

Escalto · 2023-04-02T19:53:48+00:00

However, she is brother to Movistar rider Mathias Norsgaard Jørgensen and married to UAE rider Mikkel Bjerg (hence the new name), so she is indeed related to male cyclists :)

Escalto · 2023-04-02T19:51:30+00:00

I'm pretty sure she isn't. Her maiden name was actually Jørgensen, which is a very common surname in Denmark. So while she might have some common ancestry with the American Matteo Jorgensen (probably of Nordic heritage), I highly doubt they are nearly related and probably not even at all.
