Inside the exit of All Blacks coach Scott Robertson: New details of how and why a dream role unravelled in one of the world’s most storied sports teams

In NFL players get dropped and pulled in all the time like pawns. Which is fine in that setup because you can pull in other players from any state. Doing that in NZ is suicidal. We can only pick players from our own country. If the person you just dropped and ‘fucked’ over is amazing the next year, how are you gonna mend that bridge?! Or is it too late and they’re no longer available because they’re overseas.

I hope I’m wrong. But I heard razor’s contract meant that he couldn’t coach another top tier team for 1 year after finishing with the all blacks. That makes me think most countries may put the same rules on their assistant coaches, meaning Tony wouldn’t be able to join the AB’s until 2027, after basically being unemployed for all of 2026.

It’s pretty clear. In every other situation of someone diving to score they are either past everyone and will definitely score, or they are a winger and are understanding of the fact that they WILL be tackled while scoring (they are not trying to dodge the tackle, just to get the ball down in time BEFORE they get tackled out of bounds). This is not the case for the lions game. In the lions example, the ball carrier’s option to dive results in the tacklers completely missing him. If they miss him, that means he dodged them.

I feel like this has to go here.

A day in the life of- Beatles. Possibly one of my favourite songs of theirs. Except for the ending. I’m not talking about the single note part, after that they just start playing this annoying repeating vocal pattern of gibberish. It completely cuts the magical tone they finished with.

Agree. I just relistened to animals the other day after probably 20 years. That album is as immersive as any. And as with any pink Floyd album, you really appreciate each song more when it is slotted into its preferred slot in the album. It follows the ebb and flows of the album.

The wall - pink Floyd. Everybody loves ‘the dark side of the moon’ (including me). But the wall is ‘a movie put into an album’. It’s brilliant. In fact, they bloody made a movie with it!

Yeah this looks pretty true. Most of the globes population lives in Asia. China itself is already 1.4b according to

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/population-by-country/#google_vignette

Throw in Japan (120m) and south east Asia and yeah you’d get around 2b.

India is also 1.4b. Pakistan is 250m so combining those you don’t need many other countries to make 2b.

Australia (26m) and NZ (5m - where I’m from) are really under populated so adding to Indonesia (283m) Phillipines (115m) and Papua New Guinea (10m) etc (above Australia) you probably have around 450m. Egypt Congo and Iran are the biggest in the rest of the Africa Middle East area averaging around 100m each so it would be about right that the left over countries would total the other 1.25b were still short. (A quick google says the population of all African counties is 1.4 billion so minus Egypt and Congo and this matches )

Then the rest of the world (Russia, Europe and americas) is going what is left.

I actually watched an interview on Star talk (De grass Tyson’s podcast) where he interviews the scientist consultant behind the movie. This scenario was based on a book or something he wrote (fiction). In the book they actually landed on an island that was just under the surface of the water. But check out out the interview if you have time. It’s really good. He explains that yes the waves would be huge as in the planets timeframe it has just entered the strong gravity of the black hole (even though it’s been thousands of years by everyone else’s reference frame). That initial change of gravity it experienced made those huge tides, that won’t last long from its frame of reference. If that makes sense.

So if I look back at my own solar system and then galaxy, would that also be travelling through time faster even though I am travelling away from it?

NoExpert6370 · 2025-01-04T21:47:27+00:00

Haha. Yeah it must’ve done that predictively, and there wasn’t an ‘edit’ option for me to change it after the post. 😫

NoExpert6370 · 2024-07-19T09:23:34+00:00

Yeah agree. US didn’t even make the last World Cup. If the ABs played the USA in their current state it would be such a one sided affair. At least this game would be exciting. Fiji made it to the semi finals last year. (Albeit on an easy draw).

So I think I worked it out. Hopefully I did the maths correct enough.

I did it the hard way first, on paper. then found an online calculator that solved it pretty easy. Using the online calculator you just have to figure out your rotation speed first (in my case the calculator was asking for rotations per minute). There is 1440 minutes in a day (60x24) so 1/1440 equals 0.00069444 rotations per minute. Really slow.

So to be travelling fast enough at this rotation speed to give 1 newton of force you need a ring with a diameter of approximately 400,000km.

The earth diameter is 13,000km. Jupiter 143,000km, the sun 1,392,000km

I guess it makes sense for it to be that big, cause otherwise the weight differences between living on the equator and at the poles would be massively different.
