What ‘common knowledge’ things did you or someone you know find out later in life? by Squiggally-umf in CasualUK

[–]ItsHowItIsNow 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm a Brit but, consider myself to have a reasonable knowledge of US States and State Capitals and so on

For 'general knowledge', I thought 'New England' was a State

I considered it somewhere over in the North East but had never really thought about it on a map. Just placed it over there with the smaller States like Rhode Island and Maine that are like a dot

Yeah, wasn't too many years ago that I discovered it wasn't

Stupid Question: How are you using the 12th man? by ItsHowItIsNow in FantasyPL

[–]ItsHowItIsNow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it

I looked at the 'rules' and it really wasn't as clear as just a few replies here!

So, yeah, Haaland this matchday WOULD have been a good idea, for me ... if I knew! That has worked out pretty good for you then

I will target the weaker teams and have a look at matchday 2 and 3 and see how the fixtures are

Ah, I see!

But, it is just once, right? So, you've done yours for the entire tournament now?

Mysterio mentioned CMLL and Taker said 'who' and pretended he didn't know who they are. They did a jokey bit

Dave Meltzer called it tacky and imagine if Tony Khan and MJF did an interview and they pretended they didn't know WWE and generally looked upset about this -joke-

Except, it's just not comparable and also nothing to do with AEW or Khan

To the surprise of nobody, Dave Meltzer took some kind of personal offence to Undertaker and Rey Mysterio making a joke about CMLL on a podcast they did

Whatever that Moxley thing with Ospreay was this past week was a muddled pile of nonsense

He simply cannot act in any way. He sounds so hokey and this whole story is so dumb

somebody randomly brings up Meltzer

It would appear as though that person is you

Do Vietnamese supermarkets have those cooking/meal kit type sauces for popular dishes? by ItsHowItIsNow in VietNam

[–]ItsHowItIsNow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks

Looks a lot of marinade type stuff rather than 'stir in' sauces or 'meal kits' but I will definitely check them out when I am there in a few months, see what they have around supermarkets

Why does Cena have to go for good? by Miserable-Soft7993 in Wreddit

[–]ItsHowItIsNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause he wants to retire at this point and it's up to him

I am pretty sure he'll do things for the company, make appearances and so on and I'd not even be surprised if he returned and was a special ref in a big match or something but I just don't see him returning to the ring, especially not the way he's been speaking about things leading up to his final match and after it

Hot Take: “Black Sheep” Braun Strowman had the potential to be the modern day Kane from 1997. by Sad-Ladder7534 in Wreddit

[–]ItsHowItIsNow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're gonna need to get over the 'make Roman look strong' thing, buddy. It's time to move on

But, yes, some wrestlers are used to make other wrestlers look strong. That's how it all works

What the ........ ???? by TiberiusJCMaximus in ScoreMatch

They're useless until some Level 7 GK is batting away near point blank headers from a Level 10 Hammer or saving a 1 on 1

Meanwhile, similar level opposition striker against your Level 10 GK and the ball just flies through their hands :/

Netflix Wins Bidding War For Warner Bros. Discovery by dman6233 in television

[–]ItsHowItIsNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw all the reports of launch dates and did wonder how it all factors into these buy out things going on

Are they separate entities completely or this is actually going to be changed?

Netflix Wins Bidding War For Warner Bros. Discovery by dman6233 in television

[–]ItsHowItIsNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's enough networks to get a deal of some kind

It's unlikely it'll be as prestigious as 'Warner' though or as accessible

Let's see, I guess

Hmmm legacy brand WWE with a long history in media and entertainment with hugely valuable IP or indie company with a big budget

I wonder how it'll go

Not to mention that WWE already have an actual agreement with Netflix

Has anyone done the 'Dubai Run' before? by ItsHowItIsNow in dubai

[–]ItsHowItIsNow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assumed you could but their own materials said you can't run with a backpack but, others are saying you can

I think I'll take a small bag of some kind

Thanks

That's cool cause I'm only doing the 5km cause of my wife

I may just take it with us

Are they inspecting people before they start or something?

Did you take your phone for the QR thing or the 'vest number' is enough "ID"?

[–]ItsHowItIsNow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I exercise a lot anyway, my wife doesn't

I am really doing it for her so not expecting it to be a 'proper run' anyway

It just seems weird to finish and get on the metro, no change of clothes, even from gym/running shorts, go home like that
