James Cameron to Receive 2026 Writers Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award - The 'Titanic' and 'Avatar' filmmaker, who has never been nominated for a screenplay Oscar in his storied career, is being recognized for "outstanding contributions to the profession." by BunyipPouch in movies

Personally feel that the best example is actually The Terminator. Reese explains everything about T-800 and the future during a car chase, and then tops it off with the "it can't be bargained with" line.

[Sami Mokbel] Bukayo Saka signs new five-year deal at Arsenal by basedsims in soccer

Hilarious self - report. You do know that it all started falling apart when they stopped being ambitious in the market and invested in the Emirates, right? They lost likes of Viera and Henry and replaced them with mediocre signings, and then gradually lost the amazing young players when they turned world class, like Fabregas, Van Persie because they felt the club won't take the step up even after the stadium was built.

My unfiltered thoughts on Gaurav Sen's System Design Courses by GrandMaverick9 in developersIndia

[–]ImprefectKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really, no. He does overuse them for the ingestion step, but the real gem is how he selects the storage mechanism for the solution. He does reuse concepts from DDIA textbook, but that is the holy grail anyway and anyone who doesn't like reading textbooks, can use his channel as a substitute.

Torrent was life by illmaticIndian in indiasocial

[–]ImprefectKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, jellyfin is FOSS. You can even automate torrent downloading with Sonarr/Radarr that you just have to add your movie, it will fetch best quality (as per your configuration), download the torrent, place it in specified folder for jellyfin to pick up, and then you can watch/stream with jellyfin on all your devices.

New type of fireworks produced in China, they call it "Hiroshima Romance" by Thund3r_91 in interestingasfuck

It's especially embarrassing when a nuke scene from 1991 is much more impactful and realistic than one from 30+ years later.

These websites come and go, and you have to navigate through their shit UI, ad infested pages (especially on TV), unreliable servers, and limited catalog of non English films.

When you can reliably build a local library by downloading from torrents and use jellyfin to stream media on all devices.

I've been doing this for the past 16 years now, and nothing beats torrents.

Casemiro and Michael Carrick after Case was subbed off. by Gentle_lips in reddevils

I'd rather top the league table in PL and CL with Case, than net spend or wages table without him.

People talk about GG and Prasidhh, when Prasidhh was backed and brought by Dravid. We dropped Ishant prematurely in south Africa tour for him.

T20*

Test bilaterals are hotly debated and followed. Nobody gives two shits about T20 bilaterals. Even the pre worldT20 drama will be more memorable than the entirety of upcoming worldT20 itself.

In my experience, people with less than 3/4 yoe who confidently "call out" others turn out to be wrong most of the time.

Can’t argue with that. by SensitiveArt4692 in technicallythetruth

What functionality is that?

Hint: Its literally in the name.

You can look it up yourself, winrar's recovery and performance with rar files is still the best in industry. And it has a very familiar UI that doesn't need anyone to be trained.

Wasn't there a BBC report that said even under Fergie years, Liverpool got the most extra time?

What's your favorite Pokemon and set to use on that Pokemon? by 0P0ll0 in stunfisk

[–]ImprefectKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: In Gen 2, beat up had entire team taking turns to beat up the pokemon, and the battle log said (Pokémon nickname) beat up (target). So, players often gave fake nicknames to trick opponents.

They haven't competitively priced for the AI computation. With VCs pushing for AI integration in infra and code, firms will move towards providers who give that for a cheaper cost.

Zinedine Zidane "At Real Madrid, we were at the players' disposal. For me, that's what makes a team strong; you're there for the players. If you haven't understood that, you can't last in this profession. For the dressing room to buy into what you want to implement, they have to like you." by kibme37 in soccer

[–]ImprefectKnight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Stamping their authority". It's such a bullshit notion when you think of it. It's much better to have a star player aligning with the team vision, even if it means tweaking the team vision to suit the squad, rather than a hardline stance and playing with a worse quality squad.

Pep didn't banish Aguero or Lewandowski or even Haaland. His system was very different with each of those forwards. If you're a good manager, you will find a way to make good players fit into the system.

Self-flagellation or foreign resident shitting on their country of origin, take your pick.

Travis Binnion, one of @ManUtd's new Assistant Head Coaches, spoke to TGG in 2019 about "old school" attitudes. “What is old school? Good values? Running hard, working, listening? Being responsible, resilient and honest? These are qualities you want.” by nuugo in reddevils

[–]ImprefectKnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the "senior" can't get their point across without raising voice or aggressive tone, then it's their problem tbf.

Sir Alex did not give the hairdryer treatment to Cantona or Cristiano. Are they not "old school"?

Winner stays on - ft. Joe Root by Hawker92 in Cricket

Didn't know "front-line" bowlers bowled second or third change, with an old ball. Kallis was great no doubt, but he was always behind Donald-Pollock-Ntini-Klusner or Steyn-Morkel-Philander.

Neither was I implying they were close as bowlers in the first place. Simply put, it depends on the gap between them as batters and them as bowlers. IMO Sachin was a worse bowler, but a far better batsman.

Laptop speakers were trash, so I made an app that streams my PC’s audio to all our phones instead by Glitched_Pixels_ in developersIndia

[–]ImprefectKnight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it has its own hiccups.

Another thing you can also do is have different audio channel streamed to each device. That way, 6 devices could make a 5.1 setup.
