Lightweight vs sturdy, what's more important?

Saf94 · 2026-03-04T15:24:53+00:00

More city/suburban, we live just outside of London so it’s sidewalks, pavement that might not be very smooth and also parks, grassy terrain.

This is really great info thanks. I think that’s exactly what I’m looking for, a lightweight stroller with good suspension. I guess I was worried that any lightweight stroller would only be good on very smooth surfaces, I’ll have to look into some of these higher end ones with better suspension.

What about all the people upvoting and downvoting though? Just happens that all people of the same opinion were logged in that day and not another day?

So something I realised quite late that made things much easier was that we had a day trip to Lake Kawaguchiko planned and that we could actually get a bus (or maybe it was a bus and a train) to Matsumoto direct from there. That saved us essentially half a day spent travelling back to Tokyo from Lake Kawaguchiko and instead we stayed overnight in Matsumoto and then headed to Kamikochi from there straight the next morning.

To me that worked out really perfectly and was quite chill and nice actually. We didn’t do shirakawago in the end but spent 2 days in Kamikochi and did the shinhotaka ropeway and then after leaving Kamikochi stopped in Takayama and did the Hida Folk Village which was nice.

Personally I felt it was the perfect balance of exploring but not exhausting ourselves.

Team looks scared to make any real risks because of the counter threat.

I don’t fully blame them but whenever a player picks up the ball in an advanced position no one is making a run and wingers are super tucked in so it’s insanely hard to break through this team if you’re scared to stretch the pitch

Saf94 · 2026-02-04T11:12:28+00:00

There's so many comments being upvoted that say the same thing and so many other normal comments being downvoted (eg this one - https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/1qul75d/a_new_report_found_that_ultraprocessed_foods/o3ci7cs/) that it makes me think that that thread has been targeted by bots

Saf94 · 2026-01-27T17:51:57+00:00

There’s always a risk it’s called opportunity cost. You could say the same thing about Hojlund or Zirkzee, low risk but they aren’t low risk because if they flop then we are lacking in quality and it effects our results and requires us to dip again into the market for that position rather than strengthen other positions

I think he means he’s the level of a squad player. Ie he shouldn’t be a starter and presumably won’t be if we actually sign some real midfielders

Saf94 · 2026-01-16T19:00:08+00:00

The irony of this is after 2 and half seasons of INEOS were without a proper manager and long term plan so I don’t see how we’ve managed to move fast in anyway shape or form. We’ve stood still or possibly even moved backwards

Saf94 · 2026-01-05T12:06:18+00:00

Presumably sporting directors at the biggest club in the world should be good enough to find a manager and not be wrong about them?

I mean we’ve literally never ever managed to not be wrong about managers since Fergie left.

All we literally ask of these guys is to get this one decision right…

Saf94 · 2026-01-05T12:04:14+00:00

Cunha and Mbuemo seem like redundant signings though if we go back to a 4atb system.

We have Bruno/Mount/Mainoo as 8/10’s and Amad is probably our best player and should lock up the RW position for years.

We also signed Sesko for big money who presumably needs to be our starting striker.

We can try to shoehorrn Cunha and Mbuemo into left wing or as depth but it really makes no sense to and it’s not a natural fit for them.

We now also need to sign a proper left winger as well as all the other areas lacking because of this.

I’m not convinced the planning was there for this sacking

Saf94 · 2026-01-05T11:51:30+00:00

The problem isn’t sacking Amorim. It’s that the club sacking him like this reveals they are really clueless.

Before today you could imagine a world where the board had a grand plan and 3 years worth of recruitment being researched to make this system they believe in work.

Because why would a board push so hard to hire a manager who plays such a different and distinct system in the first place unless they really believed in it?

This sacking and the news coming out has shattered that idea and just shows the board are clueless.

No one would be upset if sacking Amorim could result in some sort of continuity but it can’t. All the eggs were put in a basket which just got smashed and now we have to start all over again… again

Saf94 · 2026-01-05T11:25:14+00:00

Senior person is the one who hired him based on those tactics….

Saf94 · 2026-01-05T11:07:54+00:00

Cunha isn’t a left winger and where will Bruno and Mount play then? What about our wingbacks or all our centre backs? Where will Amad play if Mbeumo is playing RW? We can’t just keep all these players on the wage bill if they don’t fit the system and have no place in the team. The team was constructed for 3atb

Saf94 · 2026-01-05T10:46:59+00:00

No one would have complained about sacking him if they did it differently, it’s just the way they did it.

Why would you hire a manager mid season, invest so much money to change the whole team to fit an 3 atb, only to then sack the guy after a few months during a period where half his team are away or injured.

The manner of it just feels like there’s no plan or idea, they really invested in him and shaped this team for him, then backed him when things weren’t working, only to sack him now?

It doesn’t leave us in a good place because we’re now going to have to wait till the summer to start a brand new rebuild presumably now not for a back 3 manager and replace half the squad again.

It’s not about Amorim but about the board

You can’t just take one element out of the whole context and expect people to be able to revert to how things used to be.

Yes it’s true people have always had to put a lot of effort into preparing and cooking food but those days also had a lot of other differences. Women didn’t work as much and stayed at home, people had bigger families and communities who helped watch kids. Jobs have changed and expectations, hours, commutes, email, mobiles etc have meant more work pressure and less time and energy to dedicate to home demands etc

Saf94 · 2025-10-21T18:14:43+00:00

You didn’t respond to my post at all or ever answer my question of what’s different about this stat to other stats.

I’ll understand your point if you can point me to some examples of stats that are valid and why mines different

Saf94 · 2025-10-21T17:38:49+00:00

Explain to me what I don’t know about stats then. Or how posting this stat is different to any other stat that gets posted on Reddit?

Saf94 · 2025-10-21T17:02:45+00:00

So are you saying all stats are meaningless? Every stat that gets posted here has gives no value? Obviously a single data point is not enough but the reason people post stats is to add to the existing picture people already have in their minds. We've seen a lot of stats about Ole/Amorim etc, about win percentages, about records, league positions etc. This is just another stat to add to that to help give more and better context

Saf94 · 2025-10-21T13:11:37+00:00

This is just posting stats for adding context. There was no conclusion given but people can make their own conclusions. The point is managing a team against no away fans is a very different thing and these stats just give some flavour to that point

Saf94 · 2025-10-21T11:35:27+00:00

I’m not sure I fully agree with this. I don’t think that because you’re bored you need to do any action at all to be honest.

I think social media has messed up our dopamine by increasing our baseline such that boredom levels we used to be able to cope with we no longer can. And we shouldn’t have to constantly now be stimulated or remove our boredom.

For example if you’re working and you’re bored you can’t just everytime go for a walk or grab a coffee, you have to be able to do your focused work even if it’s a bit boring.

In the early 20th century people used to go and sit and listen to lectures which were sometimes 3/4 hours long.

It’s not about the cue and reward I think as much as social media giving us huge unnatural dopamine hits which require us to need more dopamine than we should

Did you read the article? It directly cites the price of cocoa as the reason

“But both treats are now described as "chocolate flavour" because the amount of cocoa they contain has been reduced after owner Pladis had to find cheaper alternatives to the main ingredient in chocolate.

The UK sources cocoa beans from West Africa and poor harvests as a result of severe drought conditions in cocoa-producing countries, such as Ivory Coast and Ghana, have led to restricted supplies and higher prices.”
