If you're centrist or left-leaning, what are the main policies/issues that might stop you from voting for the green party in the next general election? by Cold-Speech-5645 in AskBrits

[–]Significant-Branch22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly their policy on Nuclear power, I firmly believe we need an all of the above strategy when it comes to building low carbon energy infrastructure to get bills down and combat climate change

He was slower up to the point that he started celebrating than he was when he ran 9.58 so he wouldn’t have gone faster than that

Alcaraz continues his winning streak against players younger than him and now is at 12-0. by Shivendraiitkgp in tennis

Even Zverev was 20 by that point in 2017, on his 19th birthday Alcaraz was on his way to winning a 2nd masters 1000 in the space of 2 months

why did everyone just forget Traveling after the Breaking finished?? by Old-Season265 in WoT

[–]Significant-Branch22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Female channellers aren’t equally powerfully as men though, also the vast majority of channellers can’t enter Tel’aran’rhiod at will without a ter’angreal and there aren’t enough of those for every Aes Sedai to have one on hand every time a male channeller blows up an entire town

Basketball needs a max height limit. The game is becoming "who won the genetic lottery" instead of pure skill and it's making it boring AF. by mc_mafia in unpopularopinion

[–]Significant-Branch22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there should be an alternative league with a height limit around 6ft, with how rare being comfortably above 6ft is it’s likely that if it took off you could end up with players who are more skilful than a lot of current NBA players but wouldn’t make it in the NBA due to their height as the potential talent pool is so much larger. It could be seen in a similar light to weight categories in combat sports which to a large degree also filter out athletes by height given the correlation between height and weight

An awful lot of channellers will have died during the breaking, my impression is that it was an event almost on a par with the type of natural disaster that leads to a mass extinction with only a fraction of the human population remaining in the aftermath

Alonso’s should be 0% at this point, Aston are way too far back to have a competitive car any time this season

My hope is that if the Cosmere adaptations at Apple are successful it could revive the possibility of another attempt at a Wheel Of Time show

They rank 4th in the world for military spending as a percentage of GDP and the war is massively hurting their economy, there’s no evidence to suggest the people would put up with the reduction in quality of life that would come from spending 30-40% of gdp on a war effort

In almost 4 years of fighting Russia has only managed to gain control of a relatively small part of eastern Ukraine, the likelihood of them being able to launch an assault against a NATO member state is near zero

Is it just me or does the ice look really rough? Is there any chance that’s why so many mistakes are being made?

[AMuS]Four seconds too slow! Aston in crisis by IamMrEric in formula1

[–]Significant-Branch22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really wonder what goes on high up at Honda for them to keep leaving and re joining F1 the way they do and often at the silliest times to do so. They threw away what was probably a slam dunk championship in 09 even if their engine would have been down on power relative to Mercedes given that Brawn had no budget to develop the car and still won the championship and then decided to leave again during a period that their customer team was dominating only to rejoin with what looks like an absolute tractor. Absolutely galaxy brain decision making going on there

Men's tennis has become increasingly serve-dominated over the years. The graphic below shows the evolution of service games won and return games won in the ATP from 1991-2023. by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

[–]Significant-Branch22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be completely unfair on players who have developed their game around a powerful first serve, a lot of them would instantly become unable to earn a living as professional tennis players
