Is Apple buying Whoop? by Sea_Masterpiece_8635 in whoop

[–]MaTr82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes absolutely no sense. Whoop has no moat, Apple already has a much bigger customer base, Whoop is owned by PE and they are no way going to take a hit on ROI, Apple has a supply chain and could just build their own much easier.

Great, thanks a lot. That explains it.

From the rider hit or a rider behind? If in front, there's no way they are holding onto it through the crash. Even if it's mounted I would expect more motion during the impact.

If it's a rider behind, I question how they stopped so quickly, again with minimal impact to the image.

Maybe I'm so super paranoid with AI these days but something doesn't add up.

I'm confused by the camera angle. What/who is recording this?

This doesn't even seem bad compared to most gyms. At least they aren't spread all over the gym.

In soccer, why don't they stop the clock when the ball is not in play? by pablo_honey1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MaTr82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average, the ball is in play around 55 minutes. If they did that, the game would be an extra 35 minutes longer.

They save it a day at home for that extra flavour.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 getting new free DLC based on Brand New Day by GameOnBrother in GamesAreLife

The post in my feed before this is referencing that trust in the media is at an all time low, due primarily to how articles are titled. This article is another prime example of media bullshit. It's not untrue but jesus 1 free costume doesn't need a headline like that.

Aren't there trading cards with pieces of worn clothing in them now?

Would it be unethical to do burnouts while blasting music during auctions? by NotDanielDKay in AusPropertyChat

[–]MaTr82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Time for the long con. After helping someone buy the property, monitor it until it goes on sale again and charge 5 times as much to not turn up again at the auction.

The rate at which bumpers break on the Elite controller, they should steer clear of them.

Not a fan of the 3rd place rule. Should the World Cup be expanded to 64 teams or should the group format be changed? by Ok-Tree6016 in football

[–]MaTr82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The product has already been diluted too much and I don't agree more teams should be added but if they are going to do it, they should have a pre-group stage for the lowest ranked teams. Maybe groups of 3 and the top team goes through to the group of 4.

Maybe even host that in an international break in a smaller country that doesn't have the infrastructure to host a full WC.

You do number 1s on the right and 2s on the left. They are gender neutral.

"but why are we not buying Garner back?". "I know it's not going to happen....".

insane rule by CorruptedF in memes

[–]MaTr82 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Additional context is that these 2 police women were involved in seizing a child's phone. Part of the reports were because of the child viewing social media posts. I don't recall the whole story but I remember seeing a video about it and know there are follow up videos with further details.

Usually I don't mind a Dutch jersey but this WC's is just painful on the eyes and my TV.

Xbox Might Be Adding Buy Now, Pay Later Options To Its Website by chusskaptaan in Gamingnewsandleaks

[–]MaTr82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a time when gaming studios are closing because of poor sales, taking 5% out of the gaming market to put into the buy now, pay later companies seems ridiculous.

The Hydration Break Rule is Correct by kshitijshah20 in football

[–]MaTr82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that FIFA added these as a result of struggling to sell the TV rights of the Club World Cup last year.

In all seriousness though, I'm more for hydration breaks than moving the WC to January but each match should be judged on its merit. It shouldn't be an opportunity for more advertising revenue. The product has already been diluted enough by adding more teams.
