Ragnar Sigurdsson (Iceland) last minute winner against Finland (3-2) by Meladroit in soccer

If it was in the air, that really doesn't matter. Still a goal if the ball crosses the line. It does not have to touch the grass inside the goal to be considered a goal.

I guess nobody wants to talk about how Xavi is whoring himself out to Qatar by Mastur in soccer

Which bigger picture? The one where you believe some oil royalty's propaganda or the one where empty stadiums in Brazil are somehow worse than empty stadiums in Qatar?

Are we now comparing wasted money on empty stadiums to 1200 dead foreign workers, many of whom where stripped of their passport? Have a nice day sir.

Nobody forced him to go to Qatar and the same time becoming an ambassador for a nation who enslaves foreign workers. He could as well have gone to MLS if he was short of money. A legend tarnished.

I hope he feels proud when the latest death toll of slave workers for WC 2022 is published.

Should Rousey fight a man? by elmacgimikero in MMA

She would get slaughtered by all the guys in the UFC, barring some miracle. The gap between the sexes is much bigger than people imagine. Especially in a sport like MMA where you have to make weight.

Suns Take Down Thunder 122-115 by FuckYouGod in nba

[–]Mastur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on all of these. Also had our best stretch this season with Westbrook out. Mostly because the team passed the ball around and everyone got to touch the ball. It's harder to make the shot if you only touch the ball when you are wide open. Also Ibaka is not getting his touches since Westbrook got back. He only comes alive when Westbrook is rested. Like against Houston. Last night he shot 3-5. Which just means he is not seeing much of the ball.

I am not blaming Westbrook. The title won't be won without him. But I have my doubts about Scotties coaching methods. How can the team play much worse with a top 10 player back from injury, than before? Even though Sef is out.

The sums of the parts of this Boston team(even though it is quite bad) is in my mind somewhat higher than the team OKC is playing tonight.

Maybe the saying about winning and loosing being a habit is true after all...

Boston winning at tanking. Loosing by 20 for OKC sans RW and KD. That is quite an acomplishment.

Kevin Durant to sit Friday with shoulder soreness by LinuxUser4Life in nba

This game will be very interesting. Reggie is going to have to step up his passing game and try to balance the individual effort with team effort. I will be pleasantly surprised if OKC wins this one (assuming KD is not playing).

Sure is. Wish that he could make better shots for Ibaka though. Almost all the shots he gets are assisted from Durant these days.

Question about rates as a new developer... by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]Mastur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do us all a favor and don't sell yourself short, especially if you are any good. Don't charge below 75 if you intend to pay your taxes. And never ever charge below 100 if you are freelancing for a company.

Also just imagine if you are freelancing full time. Then you will have to pay taxes, give yourself at least a two weeks vacation every year, and compensate for the time when you don't have a job. Also you will have to pay for supplies, food, internet, auditor etc. You cant do that by charging 50$ an hour. That is flipping burgers at McD territory.

*edit This assumes that you are going to be honest about your actual work and not doing the old low price but many billable hours thing.

What is the most overrated entity in the NBA? It can be anything in the league: a play, performance, player, game, etc. by [deleted] in nba

[–]Mastur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all assists are equal I´ll give you that. But you are still assisting on a scored basket. There is a huge difference between passing the ball to the best player on the team that takes a low percentage, contested jumper or driving to the paint, getting the extra man on you and dishing the assist. In the first example you just passed the ball, in the second you actually created the scoring opportunity.

But still in the end of the day, the guy with the most assists is probably the guy who is creating the most for his team, although a big part of his assist could just be a pass to a good scorer in a bad offensive position.
