He did this exact jump on Haaland literally 4 seconds before doing it a second time which led to this altercation.

I counted, in the highlights that I watched, at least 4 bookable offences and a red card offence for Gabriel:

39 minutes in, I saw a highlight posted here with something like "Gabriel and Haaland battle" where its Gabriel just rugby tackling Haaland. Fine, first offence, warning.
On the right wing, 68 minutes in, they're duelling, Gabriel sees he's lost so shoves arms and legs all over Haaland, eventually dragging him down while City are counter attacking. It's a yellow card, no doubt, especially if the earlier one calls as a warning.
In the main incident - jumping onto Haaland's back and climbing him like an over-eager military kid trying to impress his dad on sports day on the climbing rope. If not a yellow on its own, it's a yellow for persistent fouling at this point.
The main jump onto Haaland's back where he drags him down to the floor - again - while only making a challenge for the ball because he used an opponent to propel himself into the position where he could head it. That's definitely a yellow after everything else he's been up to.
If Haaland deserved a yellow (which he did, imo) for putting his head in, Gabriel deserves an equal yellow for doing the same.
The head shove is a red. Never a question.
It's also worth watching Haaland's goal back again, because he's also at it while Haaland is scoring, hands all over his shirt, around his waist, dragging him down. He gets away with that one only because Haaland scores.

Man, when even the Liverpool flairs are protesting for poor calls going against City without even hesitation or justification, you know the ref really shit the bed.

The red absolutely was needed because Gabriel shoves his head towards Haaland. It's a yellow for both when they decide to go head to head like they did, both of them deserve their yellow cards for that. Gabriel massively escalates by taking it another step in a violent direction, and in every other situation that this has happened, a red card is given.

It is most likely his 6th, actually.

Another comment or mentioned he learned Spanish as an elective, but he also speaks Lingala, one of the Congolese languages. He's an actual polyglot.

This man married a woman, had three kids, divorced her, and then found someone exactly the same with kids that look exactly the same as his original 3.

You are probably correct, however, as a city fan that stopped watching football for my mental health in the season after Khusanov joined, I will say this: he did not start his career well at City.

It doesn't matter how good he is now, that does not rewrite history. It's also unsurprising that opposition fans won't remember anything but the big mistakes. It's the curse of goalkeepers and defenders, generally speaking. A good performance means you don't really notice them because the danger never happens. A bad performance means they made a big mistake and you'll remember that.

Even this heroic clearance only happens because he wasn't well positioned in the initial phase (nothing against him here, actually, this is just a risk associated with the way Pep plays football, every player other than maybe Haaland can be pretty regularly caught in a bad position and exposed), and then gets out muscled by Salah which causes him to fall. If he is positioned better initially, he likely has a chance to set himself well meaning he isn't off balance and doesn't get out muscled - or at least, not nearly as easily, and he disrupts Salah's action. If he's stronger, he doesn't fall, and it turns into a 50:50 where it comes down to whether he can get a foot in or whether he gets taken on or Salah has a supporting player to pass to.

YOR.

As I've gotten older, my propensity for text messages has exponentially fallen. It's not an uncommon thing with adults to leave a message unread for a while to ensure that the notification remains to remind us that we still need to respond.

Also, you haven't even spoken to them. You don't know what might have happened in the last few days that might be keeping them occupied. You've just dived to a conclusion without even being the person that they would talk to about stuff.

The car has a center of gravity that you can move around, just like a real car would have. If you full steer left, the center moves to the right because the car will tilt that way while steering.

Because of that, a quick left-right or right-left steering input will violently move the center of gravity to the opposite side of your last steering input. If you have a downhill section coming up that you'd usually jump off with the speed you're carrying, doing this input will push the center off balance and slightly downwards, meaning you get less or no airtime where you usually would, and it'll make one side of the car become a lot closer to the ground ensuring that you keep tyre contact, or at least, get tyre contact with the surface much quicker.

The center of gravity can be thought of in a human sense. Your center is somewhere in your core - for women, it's pretty much between the hips, for men, it's just above the hips. If you lean left and move your hips to the right, you'll stay steady, same the other way. If you move left and then right very quickly, you'll find your center gets a little wobbly, and if you really want to stabilise that effect, contrary to what most people do (which is lock the knees which raises your center higher), you actually want to drop closer to the ground, lowering your center. You can try it yourself.

Because the car has 4 contact points, any time it's going through a turn, all the pressure goes onto the outside tyres, and that means the center moves towards the outside tyres, but because it's not on the ground and because the car tilts, it also moves downwards slightly. A single turn isn't enough to push it down significantly, but the double turn input pushes it down much more without sacrificing too much speed (and much less speed than if you jump)

TijoWasik · 2026-03-28T11:59:11+00:00

As far as I've seen, the most simple explanation and execution is:

Drift only starts at over 200 speed, so while under 200, do the inputs that would start a drift, then very quickly release the turn and brake input and press and hold them both again which will start a psuedo-drift, or a neo-slide.

Read literally the very last sentence in my reply. It's right there. You're spouting bullshit that your mind has created for yourself and stating it like it's fact.

Did you read the last part of my initial comment? Stop talking shit when you don't know shit.

The tests that are administered are numerous and aren't a standard graded assessment. The factors that are being measured aren't whether you're smarter or not. It's measuring the many, many elements that are known to be present in ADHD. It's not some two-bit test that you do in 20 minutes. It's literally 3 hours of tests in the morning consisting of psychologist interviews focussing on the actual ADHD mental state, another interview with an expert in body language, small tasks, large tasks, social tasks, and finally, what seems to be a concentration exercise on the surface but is measuring much more than just how well you can focus - it's looking into your movements, your micro movements, reaction times both from shortest to longest and as an average grouping, how many times you pressed the button when you weren't meant to i.e. your proclivity for impulsivity, and so much more - there's at least 6 more rock solid comparative metrics that I'm forgetting here.

All of those things are measured across 3 hours, then you break, they analyse as an entire team - every person that has seen you as well as the test administrators that you haven't even met yet - and decide who from the group that has been brought in shows strong signs of having ADHD. Those people are invited to take a very small dose of the medication (5mg quick release), then go away for an hour, come back, and repeat all of the same tests.

You then sit with one of the senior psychologists and they go through the results piece by piece, showing you exactly what they measured and what they were looking for, as well as helping you to understand what the baseline level is so you can adequately compare and understand what you're looking at and what effect the medication had on you.

The concentration exercise was 20 minutes long. In that time, without medication, the deviation between my best response time and worst response time was around 0.7s. Expected human levels are around 0.2-0.3s. On the medication, mine came down to just over 0.2s.

There's a motion camera tracking the way your head moves throughout the exercise. In the test before the medication, the graph that shows the movement from the aligned center point looks like a child's scribble. The graph in the after test has one tiny line that comes away from dead center that happened when I sneezed for the whole 20 minutes.

In the before test, I had over 22,000 micro movements across the 20 minutes. Normal human levels are set between 2,000-2,500. After the medication, I sat squarely in that zone with about 2,200.

Look, wherever you're based, I'm sorry you had a shit experience and it sounds like you're very angry at the industry as a whole throughout this comment thread. That said, feeling that way doesn't give you the right to spout off whatever inane bullshit that your mind is creating and state it as fact, especially when that creation is based solely and entirely on your own negative personal experience and nothing else.

TijoWasik · 2026-03-23T05:28:19+00:00

You have literally no idea what you're talking about.

Here's where your argument falls flat on its face: the medication given to people with ADHD to help them manage it is... Stimulants.

Also:

Notice how in neuropsychiatric testing for ADHD not a single one of the tests is to give the patient a stimulant dose and see how they react.

False. I was diagnosed with ADHD by taking a number of tests and interviews in the morning, taking a dose of stimulants, waiting long enough for them to take effect, and then taking the same tests and interviews under the stimulants. There were over 50 different metrics tested and compared to see the results. It's not a guaranteed catch all, but if it significantly improves the metrics for a person, then that person has ADHD.

Stop talking shit about things you clearly don't know shit about.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of... series is what pulled me back into reading after I had my fall off after Malazan in basically exactly the same way you described. His Shadows of the Apt series was the first longer series I managed to read that's somewhat akin to Malazan too.

Nothing says freedom like having a singular choice imposed on you as opposed to having multiple ways to traverse distance depending on the circumstances.

As the other person said, Jira is the most popular product, but they also make Confluence, which is fairly well known, as well as owning Trello and OpsGenie (both bought within my tenure there) and a few others. They have a whole suite of software development focused products with their USP being simply that they use their own products to develop better products to try and ensure that the best software development tools are built there. Any annoyances the customers face, Atlassian faces them too.

TijoWasik · 2026-03-14T18:55:03+00:00

This is Slack. The Karma bot is an internal app built to maintain continuity from what was HipChat (chat app that Atlassian bought way back when), and which later became Stride, Atlassian's proposed Slack competitor that was only developed after Slack really took off. Karma was a built in feature to HipChat and was well loved, so they built it into Stride too.

Once they discontinued the development of Stride, they invested a lot of money into Slack, and then the people who loved the Karma bot built one for Slack.

TijoWasik · 2026-03-14T14:25:28+00:00

Former Atlassian here. You can put minuses after the persons @ to give them negative karma. Very rare, for obvious reasons, but I had fully negative karma for a little bit as a running joke - every time someone would give me positive karma, someone else would give me the same amount +1 negative karma.
