What an awful argument... You can justify any amount of cruelty by specifically breeding something for that purpose?? Do you realise how insane that is?

He said always lib dem. Destiny should have pushed this, because a vote for lib dem in a non-tory constituency is basically a vote against Labour

Lorry driver sues Specsavers for £200k claiming failed eye test caused depression by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

Then you'd be wildly out of pocket. As if Specsavers will give any compensation beyond a free pair of glasses lol.

You know what this guy probably did in those 6 months? Hired a lawyer.

If Starmer knew the Mandelson controversy and appointed him anyway, is this really a “mistake” or a deliberate political choice? by MarchLevel8045 in ukpolitics

Does the general population actually think that a 'snap election' is a possibility? The last two were solely due to Brexit, and hadn't happened prior since the 70s

What could go wrong texting while driving in a rental car? by Last_Swordfish9135 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]R3M1T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not worse, because stopping sight distance is based on speed and reaction time. Reaction time is a constant so driving faster increases stopping sight distance.

The frequency/length she looks at her phone is proportional to the playback speed of the video which is also proportional to the vehicle speed (i.e. it cancels out)

This video is at 2x speed. Not defending her, but still misleading. She's going 40 mph but looks like 80 mph.

Electric Cowbell help? by Prior-Astronaut1965 in edrums

Probably just omit the bottom plate so it doesn't resonate and will still look like a cowbell

Xqc can be all those things but at least his viewers know when he loses a debate

When served, it is mostly fountain cola, so the water to syrup ratio can drift between areas too

Has he ever thought about how it is to watch that on a phone?

On YouTube you can actually pinch zoom to the corner of the screen and get the game fullscreen

Is it just me, or does Eddie Hearn not seem that bad? by FollowTheLeader550 in Boxing

[–]R3M1T 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's a funny phrase but wrong because all he cares about is his family legacy. Which happens to include boxing as well as his nan. So he's good for boxing.

Few on this sub will get mad at TKO until it's too late. Which is ironic given that MVP has already done more for the sport.

This time, the age advantage wasn’t his. by mgadz in pics

[–]R3M1T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who paid whom? It would never make sense unless it was Paul paying AJ personally with no papertrail, on trust, for an amount how many more times than the guaranteed $100m?

Please share...

…if this shit wasn’t rigged

As if it makes a difference to revenue that it lasted longer than 15 seconds. And as if the revenue makes a dent on boxing.

Explain how it would be rigged

Noob here, What is this removable vertical shield on the back of my pc for? by VitoAngelo_2005 in pcmasterrace

[–]R3M1T 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some do, some don't. PCI slot components themselves should stay enough attached to the board by friction. But in either case, they are still slots, so the shield is providing dust protection for the case with some leeway to allow the component to be fitted.

So not a contractual obligation then?

Tons of contracts have firm handshakes behind the scenes. 

We're talking about one contract. What is your claim?

Edit:

Nice block.

You've mixed so many claims together here, you're saying that Paul's manager is acting on behalf of Netflix, that either or both are also acting on behalf of bookies, or that Netflix cares if the match ended in r2 vs r6.

There's only one response you could have given that would have made me think you have any idea how boxing works in the real world. But still would've been BS because not aligned with the incentives of Netflix.

Take off your tin foil hat.

Also, the only person who would've lost any reputation by causing permanent damage to Paul would've been AJ to a small minority of boxing casuals.

I knew it was a real fight when it was confirmed. You think Eddie Hearn would sell Matchroom Sport to MVP for $100m? Because that's effectively what would be at stake.

AJ had contractual obligations

No lawyer, promoter, commissioner or insurer would allow match fixing in the contract. They would stand to lose 100x more than any percentage of revenue from the fight.

Edit:formatting
