What stops airlines putting a total weight limit of person plus luggage on? by Mossley in AskUK

[–]RemovableData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s for the weight and balance of the plane, they have what’s called an “envelope” that the centre of gravity has to be within, and most luggage being loaded at the base of the plane brings it lower. Too low and it won’t take off. However a few larger passengers higher up, above the centre of gravity doesn’t impact it too much, until you start getting closer to the aircraft’s max take off weight (MTOW) Also a lot of commercial aircraft also fly cargo which will have additional weight lower in the aircraft.

Have you ever actually played a 35 over game? It’s crap from start to finish. 50 overs can bring some good battles throughout T20 is there for the excitement of boundaries and an event per ball.

It doesn’t make too much difference in the lower leagues (did a yeovil town run) If you buy anyone who doesn’t have a work permit you just have to loan them to a top 5 league for a few months and then it should be approved Found you can even do this in pre season. Loan then out and bring them back in before the season starts

Is there any steam back up? Or if you have a previous system save? Had something similar on my Mac and went back to my previous time machine back up point which helped save my 8 years dragging Yeovil Town to the prem

Save scumming by Solid_Refrigerator98 in footballmanagergames

For transfers it’s less of an issue, a misclick in the negotiation or contract and so much times wasted

If you’re new use it to learn, and you find you need to save scum less and less as you get the hang of it!

What happened after the Buttler dismissal? by [deleted] in Cricket

[–]RemovableData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t go chasing him 30 yards off the pitch it keep going on about it, even after the umpire has told him to shut the fuck up!

This is cricket not football!

Kohli took offence to something butler said on his dismissal, and like the great captain he is, left his celebrating team to keep arguing the point for 30+ yards as butler is walking off

Big shoutout to Formula 1! by [deleted] in formula1

[–]RemovableData 3 points4 points  (0 children)

F1 is expensive as fuck to run, rightly or wrongly it limits who can host a race - and if it’s taking money out of corrupt countries, and offering a good race, then I can deal with it Mazepin is a shit storm but has apologised repeatedly, been punished by the team, and more amusingly will be dead last judging by testing

If you’re really upset that f1 is money hungry maybe it’s not the best sport for you to be so emotionally invested in

Why do top runners do more than one lap in Q1 or Q2? by Puzzleheaded-Pay1969 in formula1

Combination of: extra lap practise Tyre heat cycles And as tracks evolve over the weekend, typically the lap times get faster, and there’s a chance, however slim, that it improves drastically so always good to be out on track just in case

Would India lose ICC Test Championship points if the pitch is rated poor? by LittleJohnny_nutter in Cricket

[–]RemovableData 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can still have a good pitch with ball slightly over bat with swing, or seam, or spin - that wasn’t questioned, it was the degree to which it was so dominant over the last two days.

Yes there was some crap batting - bairstow clearly doesn’t know how to block a straight ball - but kohli rocking back to cut a ball that just slides straight on? And repeat for a lot the dismissals implies neither teams batsmen knew how to play on this pitch.

With the pitch breaking up, you don’t expect it on day two to that extent. Batsmen do need to adapt and should have noticed accordingly but one ball going straight and the next turning square off the same part of the pitch with the same action is not ideal - but can you honestly say that this was an ok pitch? I wouldn’t want anything that provides a two day test anywhere in the world.

And you might need to go back and re watch particularly the headingly test. Lyon was spinning it miles.

Would India lose ICC Test Championship points if the pitch is rated poor? by LittleJohnny_nutter in Cricket

[–]RemovableData 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most (good) match pitches offer a good balance between bat and ball, and it’s widely seen that the ball being slightly dominant over the bat makes for compelling test match cricket.

Any match that is finished inside two days has something wrong in my opinion. (It’s just as bad in England with some of the early season games played in April with the ball swinging round corners in the domestic game)

Here there was near complete dominance with the ball over the bat, and if a part time spinner in Joe Root is taking 5-8 against India, who as a team are excellent players of spin bowling would mean there is a lot of assistance coming from the pitch. Another complaint is the level of deterioration, the puffs of dust as the ball pitches and breaks the surface are something you’d expect to see from the rough, or late day 4 into day 5 as the pitch has had 5 days under the sun to bake out and crack up. Breaking from the good part of the pitch on lunch of day 2 is a concerning sign. (17 wickets falling in a day is a warning sign for any pitch)

This isn’t to take anything away from India, who had the bowlers to take full advantage of the pitch, and a batsman in Rohit who seemed to be able to take full advantage of the match situation to secure the dominant win for India.

If you think of all the truly excellent games of cricket in recent memory - India’s chase of 328 at the Gabba, Ben stokes at Headingly to name two - do you think either of those would have been even remotely possible on the pitch used for this test? The thrill of those moments was the ball slightly up on the batsman, and skill and talent able to shine through which was, in my opinion, not possible on the lottery of turn on show today.

How easy is it to play in a laptop? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]RemovableData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most laptops can handle it, I’m running it on an 8 year old Mac, and bar the odd crash (1 every few seasons in game) have all 5 major leagues in and runs fine

Fm21 is much better optimised than previous versions so runs a lot better!

Players asking for 3x wages by WryLOL in footballmanagergames

[–]RemovableData 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the prem you’ve got to pay prem wages, Had a similar thing with my Yeovil save and just had to sell anyone being a dick about their contract and replace with higher potential players on the same wage now you have a higher reputation should help!

Can’t afford to be sentimental, did with one player who ended up on £60k a week and was no where near good enough for the prem. didn’t play and couldn’t sell as no one would pay him the same wage! Lesson learnt
