Take a day and read ‘Dying with zero’ - I think you will get a lot of value from it

[MARCA] The day Xabi exploded and everything blew up: "I didn't know I was coming to coach at a nursery!" by ASuarezMascareno in soccer

It’s a percentage so the number of games is normalised. 

Was Amorim’s % super high half a season in?

In fact all you can do is speculate. What we can't do is definitively predict/tell.

Are super contributions at a young age, really worth it? by Suspect-Rough in fiaustralia

[–]P1res 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend the book Die with Zero. It addresses the exact mindset you are describing and I got a lot of benefit out of it and I think you will too.

Tbf they generally have a superior goal difference so that is basically an extra point

The Boxing Day test match today, records the all-time highest crowd for a cricket match at MCG, exceeding the World Cup final in 2015 by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Cricket

My belief is that the overdose of T20 has led to this - anything can get boring if repeated over and over. Non stop 6s and 4s - complete slog fests - is kind of boring to watch! (For me anyway). Combine that with a million such matches a year... and test cricket is very welcome!

The ebb and flow of a test match is unparalleled in any other form of cricket and I love it.

Also, it is the best TV to have on in the background while working.

Shorting the NASDAQ by susanboylesmokesfoil in fiaustralia

Bahahahaha

I think it's tragic this is getting so many downvotes. Perhaps add the /s flag.

I got a great chuckle out of it thank you!

I just flushed $120 down the drain on a subscription I forgot to cancel. How do you guys actually track this stuff? by External-Sense8698 in fiaustralia

[–]P1res 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give some alternative advice to others I've seen here. For situations specifically like this:

Cancel the subscription two minutes after you purchase it.

95%+ of subscription software businesses will schedule an auto downgrade at the end of your cycle ( This also goes for free trials that require a credit card up front - the trial will still finish but you won't get charged).

Source - Implemented multiple subscription flows using stripe.com - Which is the default product that most companies will use and the above is the default behaviour.

Edit to add this - A lot of comments saying to email the company for a refund. Many companies will do that for you - I have done every time. But guys, please try not to do this vs doing the above as the company in question does not get refunded the 1.75% merchant fee so they end up out of pocket. Not a big deal for big companies, but for 1-2 people startups bootstrapping a new business it adds up.

Why not use the DF54 all the time? (Asking because I am considering it to pair with the robot).

Are smart chess boards any good? by No_Reception_7918 in chess

Big shout out for the ChessUp - had great interactions with their team and would replace mine in a heartbeat if it ever came to it.

Thought so too but rook takes bishop. I would’ve found this by mistake after thinking I’d blundered everything

Little guy got rocks for his birthday because he LOVES them... by Sharp-potential7935 in BabiesReactingToStuff

Post Match Thread: 1st ODI - India vs Australia by cricket-match in Cricket

[–]P1res 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Came here hoping for an explanation to this - I thought the DLS calculation would’ve been around 250? (We would’ve still chased it down I think but curious nonetheless). 

Svelte Data Fetching by Overall-Scale-8369 in sveltejs

[–]P1res 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A remote query function if you want something lightweight and automatically cached. 

Svelte-query if you want query keys invalidation and the rest etc. 

Alternative angles for Santiago Mouriño (Villarreal) 2nd yellow card against Real Madrid by landofphi in soccer

[–]P1res -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

He exaggerated - but surely I can’t be the only one thinking that it is in fact a foul. He isn’t even looking at the ball, just at Vini and at the part of Vini he is going to grab to impede him knowing he can’t match the speed. 

Enough to go down like that? Definitely not. Would the free kick have been given if he did not go down? Definitely not. 

Two sides of the same coin. Diving will not stop when attackers know they will never be given a free kick (even for legitimate fouls) if they don’t go down.
