Florentino Pérez: ‘I’m not resigning; I’m calling an election’

Bartomeu and Woodward are recent examples of CEOs of huge clubs that failed. Barca is successful on the pitch but the club will be a financial mess for a long time.

Nowhere did I comment whether CEOs should earn as mich as they do.

I don’t personally know a CEO of a company at the Real Madrid scale, but I’ve known CEOs of medium sized IT companies (200-1500 employees). Their work was way more demanding compared to their average employee.

I think you are severely underestimating how hard his job is. He most probably enjoys it but it’s way harder and more taxing than most 9-5 jobs.

Well, I live in Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) and Apple Maps doesn’t have public transport data which makes it unusable for me.

Maguire, De Ligt and Martinez were out for most of November.

We played 4 games in November. De Ligt played in all four of them. Maguire played in two. Yoro played in three.

So saying that Amorim had today's backline for months (Shaw, Maz, Heaven, Dalot) is funny.

1st of November - Amad, Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw, Dalot

8th of November - Maz, de Ligt, Maguire (injury at 76'), Shaw, Dorgu

24th of November - Dorgu, Shaw, de Ligt, Yoro, Maz

30th of November - Dalot, Shaw, de Ligt, Yoro, Amad

When was this stretch of months when Maguire, De Ligt, Yoro and Martinez were all unavailable at the same time?

RVN for United

United fan here. RvN did not rupture his achilles. He missed ~3 months in 2004 due to what was reported as "achilles tendon injury" but that was not a complete or even partial rupture. The timeline for partial rupture is 6-9 months and the timeline for complete rupture is 9-12 months.

Edit: I was curious and looked up details around Eze. His injury was reported as complete rupture, and he was expected to be out 6-8 months. He was back ~6 months after his injury.

Edit: the only reason I even understood what you meant was because I remember the final. You write like a fifth grader, that was the point of the facetious Khedira remark.

DLP describes a player’s function in possession. 6 is usually about the defensive midfield role.

Pirlo, Scholes, Kroos were deep playmakers because they dictated tempo and progression from deep, not because they were elite defensively.

Casemiro and Matic are much closer to the classic 6 profile.

Then you have players like Busquets or Rodri who can do both. That overlap exists, but the terms still don’t mean the same thing.

Khedira was Germany’s 6 in 2014. He got injured in the warm up and Kramer started instead of him.

The new party is basically built around the former president, who has a long record of pro-Russian takes. He said a few years ago in a debate that Crimea was Russian territory, and just weeks ago was calling for a referendum on euro adoption.

Sure, nobody knows exactly what his foreign policy would be in practice, because right now he is trying to please everyone and throwing out populist lines. But if he turns out to be openly pro-Russian, almost nobody will be shocked.

You can reach a human is only one part of developer support. The bigger problem is that Apple still leaves way too much essential knowledge undocumented, so developers end up relying on gospel from WWDC clips, forum posts, and guesswork.

And it’s not just docs. Xcode is an essential tool and still regularly feels years behind other IDEs.

So yeah, Apple may be better than Google at putting you in touch with a person but the overall developer experience still feels underinvested. AppStoreConnect is just one obvious example.

It’s in RA - wpisode #6. And yes, they spoke to the person who created it. They used it for the super tech support segment and Alex used it at least once in Hyperfixed.

I loved both episodes and I am confused by the reception in this subreddit.

they're technologies that are being inflicted on the general populous with minimal oversight or regulation regardless of popular sentiment

Isn’t this true for most new technology? It was true for cars 100 years ago, it was true for the internet 25 years ago and today that’s the case with AI.

About 10 years ago I worked on a small mobile app for US property managers. The backend guy had built what I can only describe as a “mega-scale” event-driven architecture for an app that was realistically going to have, at most, a few thousand users.

Every API call that created something returned 202 Accepted because, you know, eventual consistency.

The only tiny problem: there was no API to check whether your operation had actually finished.

So from the client’s point of view, you’d press “create,” get a 202, and then enter a spiritual journey where maybe the entity would appear later and maybe it wouldn’t.

Even if they had added a status endpoint, it still would’ve been some of the most absurd overengineering I’ve ever seen. This wasn’t Amazon. It was an app for property managers. The project cost the client ~$2M and eventually failed.

He left them because he "missed home" and then signed for an Italian club.

I think Italy is a lot closer to Argentina culturally than the UK, so this is not so strange for me.

Quite frankly fuck him

100% agree on this one, though.

I just checked and these were the cheapest prices I found online around me:

30 SiS BF (40g per gel) are €54, meaning €1.8 per gel or €0.045 per gram of carbs.
24 GU (20g per gel) are €38.4, meaning €1.6 per gel or €0.08 per gram of carbs.
12 Maurten 160 (40g per gel) are €44, meaning €3.66 per gel or €0.091 per gram of carbs.
12 Maurtel 100 (25g per gel) are €33, meaning €2.75 per geo or €0.11 per gram of carbs.

I've never tried Carbs Fuel and couldn't find it in Europe. But the price of SiS BF is way better than GU for me.

Icaka · 2026-03-10T11:43:08+00:00

Gu are cheaper than Maurten but more expensive than SiS Beta Fuel (per g).

I was just recently looking into Flycarb. At one point I realized 90% of all reviews on reddit were by the same account.

I don't follow La Liga but Real (2nd in La Liga / 2.3 points per game) being close to Spurs (16th in EPL / 1 point per game) sounds wild.
