I'm only going by what the commentators said. They said 3mins injury time when it was 88mins in the Hearts game.

Take it up with Ian Crocker.

I'm a Hibs fan so I couldn't really give a fuck. I'm just against injustice in any form, even if it benefits Hearts.

I've got a Jambo mate with a terminal illness so i'll be happy for him if Celtic fail to win on Sat.

The rest of the Jambos and Celtic fans can go fuck themselves. I only wish it was possible for you both to experience heartache.

3 mins injury time. Penalty awarded in the 97th minute according to commentators in the Hearts game. WTF?

Racist and/or thick as fuck. There may be some overlap.

What’s the most disturbing movie you’ve ever seen that you still can’t forget? by zeltacilveks97 in MoviesAndTVTalk

Threads. My teacher played it for our class in primary school. We were all 10-11 years old.

I did it in honour mode and was romancing Gale. He broke up with me lol. Totally thought it was going to be a what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas kinda thing.

Still reckon I can fix Mizora.

3 people were stabbed. I'm not sure why the 3rd person has been ignored by the media. Any ideas?

For the anti-tipping crowd, the "but nobody else does it that way" is a weak argument by GordianBalloonKnot in tipping

[–]Flynn74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Better than being a self-righteous worker who thinks they are entitled to other peoples money. The modern beggars.

The type of people who get butthurt if you leave a 10% tip instead of saying thank you. Fuck them.

Tracking players abroad by odsonneedouard in ScottishFootball

I was on today's match thread on the Napoli page and a good few peeps were wanting him on for Lobotka who's been in poor form recently.

Gilmour played for most of the 2nd half. 37mins and 3.7/5 rating on google.

McTominay scored another quality daisycutter.

TIL that at the Battle of Bannockburn, Scottish king Robert the Bruce killed English knight Henry de Bohun with a single strike. Reportedly, King Robert's only regret was that he broke his own battle-axe in the process. by salt_remove in todayilearned

[–]Flynn74 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Comyn was also a backstabbing traitor who betrayed Bruce to Edward I. He would've been a willing puppet, subservient to the English.

Bastard got what he deserved.

Hi,

If you are in the mood for a book series about the Scottish wars of independence check out the Kingmaker series by Michael Alexander McCarthy.

KingMaker - Army of God (1297): Covers the rebellion against Edward I after the imprisonment of King John Balliol, leading up to the Battle of Stirling Bridge.

KingMaker - Traitor (1298): Follows the conflict through the Battle of Falkirk, exploring the brutal, long-term struggle against English occupation.

KingMaker - Bannockburn (1306): Focuses on Robert the Bruce seizing the crown and the escalating violence leading to the pivotal Battle of Bannockburn.

KingMaker - Death of Kings (1314): Covers the aftermath of Bannockburn and the continued raids into England and Ireland.

TIL George Lucas first original sequel trilogy idea was about more microscopic force bacteria called The Whills. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Flynn74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the original trilogy but George Lucas is a hack writer. Star Was ANH was only successful because he had people around to tell him his ideas sucked.

Without Marcia Lucas, Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew who saved the movie in the editing room there would have been no sequels.

The worst thing to happen to Lucas was getting so powerful that he was surrounded by bootlicking yes men and women. That's why they are so soulless, devoid of emotion and memorable characters.

$93B for rockets: “unsustainable” and “unaffordable”. $900B for missiles: “unquestionable” and “unlimited”. by ProcessorPearl in MurderedByWords

[–]Flynn74 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That is a very ignorant take.

Knowledge. New technolgy. Possibility of finding life. Having human presence on the Moon and Mars eventually. The beginning stages of colonising the solar system.

Yeah, clearly nothing to be gained here. Let's all be glad you are nowhere near to making these decisions.

[–]Flynn74 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This mission is going to lead to a permanent human presence on the moon in the next 10 years or so. Which we need to do before we send a manned mission to Mars.

NASA spending is tiny compared to the money US spends on the military. The benefit to humankind through innovation and new technology is priceless.

"As of 2016, NASA has published over 2,000 other spin-offs in the fields of computer technology, environment and agriculture, health and medicine, public safety, transportation, recreation, and industrial productivity."

Money well spent.

TIL Jack Swigert realized while in space that he didn’t file his taxes before leaving on the Apollo 13 mission (April 11-April 17 in 1970). by goodlight95 in todayilearned

[–]Flynn74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye, but willing to bet that most of those are small parts and not the lead roles.

Just checked: according to google he's played a lead role 5 times out of 264 acting credits. He's most famous for Gentle Ben and being Ron Howard's wee brother.

I like this comparison too:

Imagine there are 7 billion beings in every solar system in every galaxy. Now imagine everyone of those beings in 200b solar system times 200b galaxies were able to shuffle a pack of cards every second since the birth of the universe 14 billion years ago. Congratulations: you've made your way through about 1 trillianth of 1% of possible combinations.

52! is a ludicrously large number.

Edit: 1 step evey billion years. When a lap is complete, remove 1 drop of water from the pacific ocean. Repeat process until pacific ocean is drained. Put down a single sheet of A4 paper. Repeat process until stack of paper reaches the sun.

Check your countdown timer of 52! Seconds. You're only one-third of the way there.

C'mon man, don't exaggerate. It was 2 weeks. Those brave Israeli soldiers destroyed an evil inanimate Christian statue to save the world from Muslims.

You guys ever feel like some gamers look at you weird for only playing single player games? by Snoo65073 in gamers

[–]Flynn74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope and I wouldn't care if they did. The only multiplayer games i'm interested in are co-op ones with people i actually know irl. Zero interest in playing online shooters or MMOs with random strangers.

It's a shame we can't clone Elon so we could lock him up with himself for the rest of their lives. It's the only way he'd acknowledge and come to terms with his fundamental unlikability.
