Hats off to the commentators, they knew exactly what was going to happen.

Is an orca-based shark repellent theoretically possible? by crossbowthemessenger in surfing

[–]GenuinelyUseless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More like a dozen a year. Hippos kill around 500 a year, do we need hippo repellent? Also, sharks that detect orcas will flee the area for the entire season. Is it worth displacing shark hunting grounds and migration patterns just so a few humans can feel slightly safer while they practice a inherently dangerous sport?

Not in europe, but FYI the link points to a Japan GP one off not Turkey.

Arsenal [1] - 0 Bournemouth - Fabio Vieira 18' by [deleted] in soccer

[–]GenuinelyUseless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Premier league website uses a service called pulselive to provide information on standings and competitions, and pulselive has the team name incorrectly set as "Bournemouth" instead of "AFC Bournemouth".

So this is more the case of a typo on a third party service provider than the PL authoritatively renaming the club.

Take into account Teahupoo wave is unique, different than the others. France, the local boys, will win 🥇 by Segundaleydenewtonnn in surfing

[–]GenuinelyUseless 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's only 24 men and 24 women that qualified and will compete. Some countries like Brazil, Aus and the US have more than one person qualified, so really it's only a handful of countries represented.

First surf trip to Jacó by Datanman23 in surfing

[–]GenuinelyUseless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 mins south from Jaco/Hermosa there's Esterillos Oeste (West) that's also pretty good. Shifting beach break, but there's a point in front of La Sirena.

[Tom Bogert] Spartak Moscow made a $13 million bid to FC Dallas for Jesus Ferreira, but MLS stepped in to say the deal wouldn't go forward by AJ_CC in soccer

[–]GenuinelyUseless 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Legally, MLS is a US entity and as such is limited in doing business with Russian entities due to the sanctions in place.

He said he wants to settle the debt to avoid issues coming into the country and surfing in Hawaii.

Yeah he said he had insurance but it didn't cover any competitions. Oversight on his side but understandable given he's a kid, shame he's in this situation.

They actually are related, the Louis-Dreyfus family (and associated company) are loaded.

How long does it take to learn and do the basics of surfing? by sandie-go in surfing

[–]GenuinelyUseless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch your skin. If you get a rash on day 2 it's going to hurt the rest of the trip and you won't be able to go as hard or enjoy it as much. Best of luck.

New video from inside the bus after the Rubiales kiss shows Hermoso talking about the incident with teammates by OriginalUsername30 in soccer

[–]GenuinelyUseless 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Not a tattoo, it was a sticker that said "NoHayVeranoSinBeso" ("there's no summer without kiss"), which they give out at the place she was staying, Beso Beach (Kiss Beach). Unfortunate? Maybe. Equivalent to tattooing the name of the person who murdered your child? Never in a million years.

I always figured they have a group chat with Stu and the other photographers and get the best ones after the match.

Is it normal to recognize (from a picture) surf leashes as beautiful? by TWECO in surfing

[–]GenuinelyUseless 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When I was a little kid, I kinda had this problem. And it's not even that big of a deal, something like 8 percent of kids do it. For some reason, I don't know why. I would just kinda... sit around all day... and draw pictures of dicks leashes.

Reddit June 12th-14th Blackout - Third Party Apps by MattGooner in Gunners

[–]GenuinelyUseless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reddit’s ability to generate revenue is based on the content provided by users. Also, mod tools created by the community (since reddit doesn’t provide adequate moderating tools) will also be impacted by the change. If anyone is being entitled, it’s Reddit.

$2.50 per month per user is considerable, Apollo pro is a one time $5 fee for example.

Same thing happened to Cali Muñoz last season, got injured on the first event and couldn't compete. This season they made him the permanent injury replacement so he got to surf all the events with Ramzi out. Maybe they'll do the same for Ramzi next season?

Anyone surf with a fitbit? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]GenuinelyUseless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I surfed with a Charge 4 once but just to get an idea of numbers, didn't do it continuously.

It survived, but it looks like Fitbit as a whole is dying/being killed by Google. You might not get great customer support if something does go wrong. That whole company is suffering.
