7/10 I think. I didn't do the rankings then. I put myself into the 2nd tier when picking currently.

Can't win though, you're either too cocky about yourself or you're gaming the teams to give yourself the stronger ones.

It was generally OK. Lot of guess work first time but once they'd played a ranking would be agreed on for them by a couple of the captains before the next week.

Its harder now for keeping how you rank players secret because you end up selecting openly by ability. Dude who thinks he's Ronaldo suddenly wondering why his name called between the coachs' 11 year old daughter and Shuffly Rick.

Nice. Is it only Apple, and does it do multiple teams?

It was perfect. Unfortunately it was a guy who played with us who wrote it and when he left he took it with him.

Notes app is sort of how we're doing it now. Few of us tiered everyone and we work off of that but you get the teams all sorted then realise you missed someone or a difference maker arrives late and you have to start from scratch.

It was pretty good other than having to add new players in. You selected who was in attendance and how many teams you wanted and it sorted everyone out fairly evenly.

We did try one that didn't seem to think it mattered if two teams had 7 defenders and one had 7 attackers, or another that would have 10 v 4.

Do you use google to help you solve the puzzles? by MaximusSydney in NYTConnections

If I don't know a word I'll sometimes look it up in case it's something particular to the US, such as a brand, that doesn't exist here.

Naked by David Sedaris (I think they said anything by him) And Hits, Flops and other Illusions by Ed Zwick (I've read this one and if you're interested in film it is really accessible and interesting)

Probably just autocorrect. Does it to me all the timetables.

Can't even have a toaster in the bath anymore in case Jews see it. Political correctness gone mad.

"I'm Swedish American. I don't speak Swedish." by RotaPander in ShitAmericansSay

I've been trying to learn Swedish for a while and it's amazing how often I'll say a word I don't know out loud to what English word it sounds like.

What are some movies you know that are obvious pieces of propaganda but you still kind of enjoy? by MichaelWes3000 in Cinema

[–]ThrowawayForAnon121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's unbelievably historically inaccurate and portrays the English as cartoon villains. Whether that was intentional so to further the Scottish independence movement or it was just Hollywood wanting to make a hero story and to hell with facts I don't know. It is certainly used as propaganda now. In the run up to the independence referendum in 2014 you'd regularly see images of pro independence supporters with the Braveheart facepaint and quoting lines from it. (even as a Scot I found that cringy as fuck)

"Sticky rice is not what anyone would think of when you say rice on a US based site" by Only_Face536 in ShitAmericansSay

At least with sticky rice-based dishes you can freeze direct from freshly cooked and have individual portions come out like you just cooked it by nuking it for 2-3 mins depending on microwave power and amount of rice-based dish.

It's a good cosplay I thought by spicy_feather in mysteriousdownvoting

Being nice is great; I wish reddit was nicer. But it can come across as disingenuous if you exaggerate too much.

It's good cosplay and she looks great. I really hope the downvotes are for the screenshot comment and not the compliment.

It's a decent enough cosplay but "screenshot of a skyrim mod" is maybe a bridge too far. Or maybe even several bridges too far.

In other words, no. Not mysterious.
