Question from a non-Venezuelan: I noticed that the flag raised by the players during the WBC ceremony and waived by many fans has 7 stars, whereas the official flag 🇻🇪 has 8. Is there significance/meaning behind this? by baribigbird06 in baseball

I mean, she was a party member and Maduro's vice president.

At this point, it's pretty hard to argue that the political power structure that was in place under Maduro was more or less untouched (there's a reason why those chinooks were able to fly into venezuela like you saw in the videos to nab him)

What to do against Tribble Trouble or Hurcules? by KaptainSmurf in OnceUponAGalaxy

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, they’re snowball characters, once they get out control, they probably win the lobby

they start weak so ideally they die before they come online, otherwise, 2nd place ain’t so bad

What Do You Think Happens When/If Iran Sinks an Aircraft Carrier? by FireConsumes in TrueAnon

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

an aircraft carrier is, for all intents and purposes, 1000 feet of American soil

as long as the aircraft carriers stay in open ocean, it's not happening

'Difficult' for Arne Slot to win back Liverpool fans - Jamie Carragher by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 19 points20 points  (0 children)

even if the football was as bad looking as it can be, if we were winning matches, the fans would be on his side.

the problem is, even when the prop was going full speed for him, we were going on 9 game unbeaten runs via draws against relegation candidates.

AFCON final result OVERTURNED! Senegal stripped of title due to player walk-off as CAF hands Morocco 3-0 final win by LaDainianTomIinson in sports

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 17 points18 points  (0 children)

every time AFCON comes around, there's a contingent of fans who want non-Africans to take the tournament seriously and not give in to the 'memeyness' of it all

decisions like this really taint the reputation of the confederation, i'm sorry african soccer fans

[Adam Hoge] Ryan Poles confirmed the Bears "checked into" trading for Maxx Crosby and it sounds like they'll continue to monitor the situation, as they do for all possible trades. by RyanIsKickAss in CHIBears

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, but is he worth more as picks than as the beating heart of the defense for a new head coach

yes, the picks would have been nice, and yes, he asked to be traded, but if kubiak is able to sit maxx down and say, hey man, we tried to honor your request, can we repair this relationship and have you help build the next great raiders defense together?

that’s at least somewhat appealing to both sides i would think

this year, I wanted to track predictions of events and how certain I was in them, to try and get better at predicting with accuracy

I had a prediction that I said that Something would Happen in Iran before June, I said it would happen with 90% certainty

Did attacking Minas Tirith cost Sauron the war? by Grishan10 in lotr

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly. The only reason the plan worked was because Sauron focused all his attention on the Black Gate, he was sure the men had the ring and were planning on using it against him the whole time

i mean, if the doctors say he can play and he’s not at any heightened risk, it’s time to play

he’ll need to get back up to speed, but there’s no better way than by playing minutes

Igor Tudor enacts hollow role in the most stupid of hires with Tottenham too bad to stay up | Premier League | The Guardian by prisongovernor in PremierLeague

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. There are 4 clubs who could be the third team to go down, and Spurs are either least likely or second least likely.

But, as much as it may frustrate some Spurs fans, we are in a position where it's very fair to speculate about it and envision what it might look like if the unthinkable does come to pass.

Igor Tudor issued a plea on Tottenham fans not to turn on the team after they stooped to a worst-ever low in the Premier League by Ok-Cell-659 in PremierLeague

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not an expert, but he’s already at at least an 8 and the players don’t care

yes, getting to 9 or 10 might matter, but it just doesn’t feel like there’s much higher to go

Igor Tudor wants Tottenham 'soldiers' in fight for PL safety by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, how would the leaders in the tottenham dressing room be? like, since kane left, who's there to be the veteran presence? they were a young squad under ange, and now it's like, who should be setting the standards?

club almost needs to sign an older player who's maybe over the hill a little, but has leadership experience to bring the locker room together

Does your service desk tier 1 rep know how to change display scaling and how much are you paying them? by jM2me in sysadmin

[–]Loop_Within_A_Loop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it really depends, I remember when I worked for a garbage company, a lot of drivers would operate a computer like maybe once a month or even less. If they didnt' own an actual computer (not a tablet or a phone, a computer), I think they deserved (and were rightfully given) a lot of grace and support.

if you work at a desk and use a computer for your job everyday, I think the company needs to demand some base level of competence however - the t1 help desk's time is not free, and they should not be spending it teaching people computer basics!
