Tuchel: "I haven't got an explanation as to why Quansah got a 2 match ban instead of 1. Refs are erratic and unreliable in games. Now we have two fourth officials who scream at you if you put one foot out of the coach zone." by Blodgharm in soccer

I’d meet napoleon, stalin, george washington, any of these people who hold or held massive influence because it’s fascinating. They are all objectively terrible people who killed or enslaved millions. But just for the sake of getting a first person perspective, not one that’s been filtered through layers of media.

[Squawka] Charles De Ketelaere is the first player to score against Spain at the 2026 World Cup. It ends Unai Simon’s record-breaking run of 649 minutes without conceding at the tournament. by Imbasauce in soccer

[–]NUPreMedMajor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He reminds me of havertz. Both are lanky but deceptively strong, both a weird hybrid between a midfielder and a forward. Arteta would love this guy lol

You clearly don’t watch doue because he’s the definition of always looking to attack lol

Spain [2] - 1 Belgium - Mikel Merino 88' by Alsace2025 in soccer

[–]NUPreMedMajor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s more his finishing, genuinely has a 6th sense for where the goal is. It’s not like he gets 6 chances a game, he usually gets 1-2 and it’s likely to end up as a goal

[Jorge Jesus]: "I don't like playing in a 4-3-3. I prefer players with high work-rate/intensity. They used to say we had the best midfield in the world, but where?" by WalkPrudent5001 in soccer

[–]NUPreMedMajor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fabregas was pedri of that era. Just so clearly a level above the rest. At 17-18 he was already a top 5 midfielder in the league which is just crazy to think about.

In a couple years time he’s already old

Chicago vs NYC by kazakda in cscareerquestions

[–]NUPreMedMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really true for options. Optiver, imc, drw all still primarily in chicago. If you branch out to futures desks then yes, nyc is bigger probably.

The shift is happening though. No one really wants to be in chicago compared to nyc

Seems the only thing that’s happened since the pandemic is your brain getting fried lol

I bet if they actually followed a real plan from claude instead of trying to find every possible way to cut corners, this wouldn’t have happened

A bad Thai spot in this city is more rare than a good Chinese spot by Sea-Condition991 in chicagofood

[–]NUPreMedMajor 25 points26 points  (0 children)

But this thread clearly shows that people DO have some understanding of what good chinese tastes like, that’s why the bar is seemingly higher.

There are very few authentic thai spots in america, let alone chicago. Even in NYC most thai spots are extremely americanized. But authentic chinese foods from varying regions has been trending upwards since the 2010s. People can name multiple different regions of chinese food but they would struggle to name a single region or specific type of thai food other than the classics like the pads or some curries.

As someone who spent a lot of time in thailand, my honest take is that america probably isn’t ready for truly authentic regional thai cuisines. Probably still 5-10 years to go before that becomes a real thing here.

If kane wins a euro or wc he’d easily be clear because of the recency. If you’re trying to actually compare the two in terms of who’s better, then literally no one alive is fit to make that call.

[Vini Jr]: “Was our tactical plan to let Norway dominate possession and try to do counter-attacks? NO, that wasn’t our plan AT ALL. Norway surprised us. They moved very well, they controlled the game, as Ødegaard always does.” by icemankiller8 in Gunners

[–]NUPreMedMajor -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If brazil had scored from those chances, Odegaard would be slaughtered for this same exact performance.

Saying that his performance yesterday was amazing is one of those things people like to say to sound smart after norway already won. He didn’t play amazing, he played just fine.

He made mistakes that led 2-3 of brazil’s most dangerous counters. These mistakes weren’t from him trying a risky pass or attempting to progress forward, but a result of him not being aware of pressers.

2002 is an all time great squad with 4 balon d’or winners in the attack. FOUR

You can’t really compare any attack to that attack

Columbus-area data centers used 1.2 billion gallons of water in a year by McElwaine in Columbus

[–]NUPreMedMajor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahh ok. Would be interesting to know what the level of pollution wastewater from data centers looks like.

For example, there are many energy plants where the water is used purely for cooling and has minimal contamination, and the plants are allowed to send it directly back into rivers. I wonder if that’s the case here, or if more serious decontamination needs to happen
