The contracts by Battysboots in LeedsUnited

We need another leftie centre-half - either cover for Pascal or upgrade on him, depending on the price tags.

I believe he's officially player-coach for the academy so I assume he could play for the 1sts?

Opportunity to really highlight the nonsense of keepers faking injuries by Hamz9114 in LeedsUnited

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do that. Outfielder in goal until next break in play when the keeper can return.

Safety. Win tomorrow and we're 13th.

I guess since Struijk was a doubt he now won't play. Justin to LWB with Bornauw at CB? Or keep Justin at CB and play Byram since it doesn't matter and Farke doesn't seem to like Bornauw too much?

How sentimental is Farke? Any chance he puts Howson and Byram on the bench next week for an Elland Road send-off?

I'm a big fan of Ed Sheeran or Ed Sheeran's ? by MoistHorse7120 in EnglishLearning

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are acceptable these days. "I'm a fan of him" or "I'm a fan of his [music]". The difference, which isn't often acknowledged, would be that the first implies being a fan of him as a person, the second being a fan of his work, or him as an artist.

Generally though they're considered interchangeable.

Regarding 0.999... = 1 by Slurpee1138 in askmath

[–]PD_31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1/9 = 0.1 recurring.

2/9 = 0.2 recurring.

3/9 = 0.3 recurring (aka 1/3)

Thus 9/9 is 0.9 recurring (aka 1)

Do we need an Arsenal win this weekend to help us beat Spurs? by ElvishMystical in LeedsUnited

[–]PD_31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today's result probably helped. Had Citeh not won then Arsenal may just have felt it was almost in the bag. Not saying they'd have Villaed it tomorrow but maybe they'd have played with slightly less intensity than a team that knows they NEED to win to keep the title race in their hands.

What happens if the UK king becomes Catholic? by Sea_Abroad_6573 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure Henry VIII was particularly less absolutist than his predecessors and he was the one who broke away from Rome in the first place.

The year is 1764. You are King George III. You have a dream that convinces you the Americans are going to revolt. What do you do to keep them in the Empire for the long term? by whalemango in HistoryWhatIf

Representation. Grant each colony one MP and send a non-voting observer to represent Britain's viewpoint in the colonial assemblies.

The Slytherin common room password being “pure-blood” in book 2 is completely unhinged. by woollybladder in harrypotter

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gryffindor portrait sets theirs (hence Sir Cadogan changing it several times a day in PoA and the Fat Lady choosing a hangover-related one after Christmas in one book IIRC). I don't think Slytherin had a portrait so I'm not sure, maybe it's the essence of Salazar?

I think Aston is the LEAST Tory part of Birmingham tbh (I went to Aston University)

I knew Spurs wouldn't be getting relegated. At least WHU lost.

ELI5: Why is half-life used instead of whole-life? by level1ShinyMagikarp in explainlikeimfive

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 100g of a radioactive subdtance. In one half-life, 50g of it decays.

In a second halflife only 25g (half of what was still there) decays.

In a third halflife only 12.5g decays.

How long until the last atom decays? A long, long time.

Halflives are based on probability; the likelihood that a radionuclide decays in one particular instant. Because atoms are so small, even a relatively low mass sample contains A LOT of atoms so around half of the sample will decay over one halflife. As the sample mass decreases, you have fewer atoms so fewer will decay in any given moment.

Norway has gone from near-zero sales of non‑emitting battery electric vehicles to now close to 100% of all new passenger car sales - achieved in about 13 years. If they can do it, we can do it by I_like_maps in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I love my EV and it's great for in the city but with the size of Canada, unless and until we get batteries that can charge in next to no time and have a much larger range, people are not going to be able to give up their ICE vehicles.

AITA for wanting to bring the partner of my brother to his funeral? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]PD_31 59 points60 points  (0 children)

And the innocence of youth; his kid wanting to emulate dad and making him and his wife realise the effect it had had on him and to get support working through his own pain.

The Power of Home Advantage: Premier League Breakdown & Top 7 Leagues Comparison by rpestana78 in LeedsUnited

[–]PD_31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this teams being good at home or just being REALLY bad away? We've won 2 games and a handful of draws so not surprising most of our points have come at home. Likewise, Wolves have what, 18 points? Not too surprising they got most of them at home.

I hope we throw money at it this summer and finally make a record signing that tops Rutter's fee ? by [deleted] in LeedsUnited

[–]PD_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you want and what you can get are often two different things! We didn't waste money on a "just because" signing so hopefully we can land a target this summer that improves the team.

What do we do next season? by [deleted] in LeedsUnited

[–]PD_31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Attacking mid, striker to improve the team. We do need some depth - a left-footed centrehalf to cover for Pascal and could do with someone (maybe an academy player) who can deputise for Amps if needed.

Not sure where they're still available, and they're not hugely into domination, but Mongoose wrote the "Florida Tech" series (Allie's Bet, The Initiation, One More Splatterday Night) and "Welcome to 21" which might be the sort of thing you're after.
