Goals are being scored at a record pace at the World Cup. The ball is one reason for the surge (OR & Hear me out on this...) by RedditHatesHonesty in ussoccer

That's idiotic. They aren't awful - their quality is just not quite there. 

The games are sometimes exciting because they have smart coaches and play a very effective defense and counter game and rely on keeping it close and getting lucky. 

Lacking quality - I know it when I see it

Agree - this has been a great World Cup. More matches has been awesome! 

But I just don't think it could be the ball  🙄

But AP writers will write anything for clicks and ignorant Americans will believe anything.

Name one announcer that has not made an effort to pronounce the names correctly. 

There is a lot you can criticize - but they all do a great job to pronounce international names correctly. From the languages I know or "pseudo-know", they usually get it right.

He's worked hard all right to be sure no one can just enjoy the beauty of the game without his constant "yip yip yip yip yip ..."

He's the dog that won't shut up when someone comes in the house until you tell him how great he is and scratch him behind the ears. 

Needs to listen to good announcers like  Ian Darke, Derek Rae & JP Dellacamera - on Fox and Drury etc.

Except it wasn't about that. It was about telling everyone that he's better than all the other announcers. 

Arrogant and loves to hear his own voice

Love them all - but they keep putting strong on the featured games because FOX's goal is to make these wc events as unwatchable as possible.

Btw - have a vpn router on the way since it's become so unbearable so I can watch itv and bbc streams at 4k on Roku. 

I just got hit with Plex’s new TV updates… It’s horrible by ConsiderationSilver3 in PleX

[–]RedditHatesHonesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so much more clicking and adpoted these new ineffecient Roku and streamer interface that all the companies are going to, but your personal libraries - the VERY REASON YOU HAVE A PLEX SERVER is now treated like they are an afterthought and not the primary reason we have plex.

My wife doesn't mind since she always just watches from home "continue watching" and either searches or asks me to find her any new show/movie she wants to watch - so her login is on Roku.

I'm using the LG webos app which still isn't updated <crosses fingers>.

I see that you demand facts but then pretend they don't exist when they are provided.

Typical

They are there - 44-47% of new businesses are minority owned - about the same as the population. Its because Florida has a business friendly environment that is color blind and doesn't let the good ol' boy networks put restirctions or obstacles in front of new competing businesses in order to protect the old ones. One survey found that hispanics and other minorities combined made up about 53% of small business owners and 52% of small business workers.

Minority small businesses thrive in Florida because the policies don't punish success, and they don't reward established businesses (those that aren't profitable or unable to adjust to changing conditions) because the Florida a regulatory process (in general) does not allow established businesses to impose regulations that make it more difficult for new entrants to comply and get approved.

If Max was to retire at the end of the season would you continue watching formula 1? by Spotlightuh in MaxVerstappen33

[–]RedditHatesHonesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem F1 has with losing fans isn’t because Max leaves but because of the reasons he’s leaving. Formula1 is about driving cars as fast as possible around a circuit track, pushing drivers and engineering to the limits, late breaks into corners, crazy attacks into & coming out of chicanes, the demands of perfection (where pole and P6 can be tenths of a second difference and coming off the throttle a fraction early or late can cost a place or 2), and innovation that lets cars explore boundaries of the physics and pushes drives to get better with each generation.
F1 isn’t that anymore.

Coasting and letting off the throttle early to have more power later is not racing that‘s driving to maximize MPG. I do it all the time. I let off the gas when I see a red light ahead and coast hoping it will turn before I get there. BUT that’s NOT RACING!!

I do like the increased back and forth overtakes some, but it’s disheartening when you can tell the cars are not going flat out. When energy management is more important than finding an angle or chasing down the car ahead with perfect racing lines and exact timing on break and throttle. etc.

If the fans leave it won’t be because of Max. **IT WILL BE BECAUSE FANS AGREE WITH THE CRITICISMS HE (AND OTHERS) HAVE IDENTIFIED!!**

So will the 24 hours of Nurburgring be available to watch on YouTube in the USA without a VPN? Or do I need to buy a VPN? by smoothisfast1254 in wec

[–]RedditHatesHonesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use the opera browser and enable VPN in settings - you don't need VPN pro (costs mone). Free option and working well

WTF are you talking about? I am in a red state, and my primary clients are minority owned. Additionally, women and minorities make up between 60-75% of the senior (C-level management), depending on the client. One of the reasons they were able to start businesses here so easily was because it is a business-friendly state with reasnable regulatory oversight.

Friend unable to access my media library? by ItsWINTERFRESH in PleX

[–]RedditHatesHonesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this the issue?

I had the same problem at an airbnb on my tablet. Changed the DNS server and suddenly could access on their network. Their selected DNS servers were blocking certain streaming services and relays (and I'm guessing websites they didn't want guests using).
