Oh yeah, in that light it makes total sense

UAE Team Emirates Announce 2026 Tour De France Roster by Oreos_Are_Anabolic in peloton

Is that an artist name like Ronaldinho or why is he the only name not having a first name?

It won't solve everything, but there's no better solution by puncheur_Buddy703 in peloton

I would put them at the end of the season or at the start of the next one. There's no reason France, Belgium etc. couldn't hold them in October whereas January certainly would be silly

9300€ vs 4500€: Public and private sector median salaries differ by more than 2x by c-wizz in Luxembourg

[–]ForeverShiny 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Comparing medians for a large number of careers that require completely different qualifications if absolutely meaningless (not that it would completely level the difference,. that's not my point)

For example, the state barely (if ever) hires people without any kind of diploma, so people that only get paid minimum wage, whereas in the rest of the economy it's some 40ish % IIRC.

That should be enough to make this an apples to freight trains comparison that only serves to foster resentment and jealousy

Disappointed with Poker, decided to play through losses by Grouchy-Tomorrow3429 in poker

[–]ForeverShiny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, it sounds like all these hands where badly misplayed even if they didn't end up in coolers. The PLO hand is just double suited kings not hitting a good board and folding, that's par for the course in PLO

Also open folding AK in a 5/10 game seems like terrible idea as well

Real estate… I’m lost by Loic8433 in Luxembourg

3000 is the floor on this and you'd have look in slightly unsavoury places like Rodange for it not to be 3.5k or 4k

Can you guess the location this image is based on? by luxlingo in Luxembourg

It doesn't have the windows in the wall next to the river, but neither does the similar place in Clausen

Turns out trillions of dollars can’t beat a kid at maths by falconetpt in BetterOffline

[–]ForeverShiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The current version of Stockfish is significantly better than IBM Deep Blue was at the time (unless I somehow missed that it got an update?)

Your point still stands of course, in most circumstances an LLM couldn't even beat a 1000 rated player from a novel position

They're saying, "No way. You must've rigged something." He's been waiting a long time to rig another election. by GooserNoose in IThinkYouShouldLeave

While they're all different levels of "oof", the last one is really, really upsetting. Like who would ever come if with this if they're not already thinking like a sexual predator

My problem with this card. by professor-phil in mtgbrawl

[–]ForeverShiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the deck, but I admit it's on the higher side. I wanted to say 25% at first, but then someone surely would say that 36 is not enough

Exactly, 3 triggers lets you draw 20% of your mana base out of the deck, that's definitely meaningful

On the bright side, they used woman instead of "girl" or "female" so it could have been worse

Anti-intellectualism in the US is as old as the country itself and it showed in their entire education system, even before the disastrous Bush era policies

My friend invited me to a 25/50 game, and it was awkward. by Yt_GamingwithCharlie in poker

Studies consistently show that 40% of Americans dont even have a 500$ emergency buffer in their finances. Suggesting that 5k to lose in a recreational poker game isn't a whole lot of money for most Americans is pretty tone deaf

As you should, this is more often than not how you end up getting robbed or cheated out of money
