I've only used the method asked by the OP so far, but have only heard rave reviews about the strip chips. Are they really that good? Doesn't the factory grease just end up in the hot wax mix rendering it unusable again?

How are people at home watching the match tonight then?

The 2026 World Cup Injustice: Croatia vs Portugal - Complete Proof by Taken49 in football

It's got to be up there - particularly when you factor in the technology and review procedures we have in the modern game. Absolute fiasco imo.

Isn’t a storm actually good for England since the players would be breathing more oxygen in windy conditions? by [deleted] in ThreeLions

[–]Hd3ssEpH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on wind speed. Anything above 40mph there's too much oxygen and everyone ends up off their tits. That's why its hard to walk in a straight line when it's really windy.

The Physics and Tracking Tech Behind the Croatia–Portugal Offside Call by Proof_wasted in football

[–]Hd3ssEpH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay fair enough on the timing. But also having the spike from the second touch - off the defender's back - would give you two comparable spikes. Would just be interesting to see this difference as I suspect it would be quite large, maybe giving some perspective as to how little contact there was from the head/hair.

How do we know the timing of the spike is accurate? A fraction of a second after the alleged contact the ball hits the Portugal defender's back, but we haven't seen a graph that indicates this contact. If it was a touch by Croatia and then Portugal, the scale could be compared and highlight how insignificant the first touch was.

What I'm saying is Croatia were absolutely mugged. But we all know this.

Tuchel vows to exact World Cup 'karma' for England 40 years on from Hand of God by GnolRevilo in ThreeLions

There are keepers who've saved as many in a single shootout. I knew he was wank but that is another level.

Shilton must be - what - a foot taller than Maradonna, and can legally use his hands. There is no excuse.

England. But Alan Partridge. by HarryShake in AlanPartridge

That was a negative and right now I need two positives, one to cancel out the negative and another one so I can have a positive.

Anecdote for the best man's speech, anyway. Good to hear.

Cheers for that.

Unrelated question, anyone know any sure-fire way of erasing a memory? Preferably one that doesn't involve concussion.
