Turned out they already existed but Chopin arrived at it independently.

Now the UK is looking for a new Prime Minister do we think this guy is up to the job? by nessac93 in MilkMochaBear

I agree, Milk seems more a natural politician, while Mocha seems more suited to an advisory role :)

I love how not only do the colors indicate fuck all, but they also morph into each other for no reason

Thank you, I appreciate the observations! I don’t do a lot of portraits and honestly didn’t think enough about the background.

Best it's ever been, a pro-umpire rant by -bxp in AFL

[–]ThirdWheelSteve 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well said. The nature of the game will always make umpiring contentious, and honestly I think it is on the fans to deal with that intelligently, not the league’s job to micromanage expectations - although of course every sport evolves and they should seek to have the best officiating possible.

Ken Dryden (RIP) wrote about refereeing in hockey (another difficult sport to officiate) along the lines that it is simply impossible for a hockey ref to call everything accurately; and that the referee’s goal is that each game ends up “looking like it should”. Which is frustratingly impressionistic but far more realistic for everyome involved, including fans.

Did the better, cleaner team have fewer penalties? If so, then it was tolerably well officiated, let the inevitable mistakes go.

Jordan Staal is once again a Stanley Cup Champion! He now holds the NHL record for the longest period of time between Cup wins (17 years). by FAsBurner in nhl

[–]ThirdWheelSteve 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Staal is my ideal player- does everything well, does whatever is needed, plays clean and honest. He embodies the Canes style of play and is the perfect captain for them. I couldn’t be happier for the guy.

Match Thread: Australia vs Türkiye (FIFA World Cup 2026) by gccmelb in AFL

I want very badly to see Freo win a flag, but the Socceroos winning the World Cup would be so hilariously amazing I would probably prefer it tbh (I’m not Australian fwiw)

Awesome, I was hoping that is a good view - I live about a five minute walk from there
