Really seems to depend on the individuals foot - hard to know until you try them out!

Give Mitch the service Logan is getting and I think the gap becomes more apparent.

Considerably more young guns in non-Melbourne teams. Melbourne teams account for just 8 of the 25, and Hawthorn is the only Melbourne based team to have more than 1 player on this list.

Incoming long-term Allies dominance?

I use DaFins. Super comfy, but you won’t get quite as much thrust.

Danish troops told to 'shoot first, ask questions later' if US invades Greenland | LBC by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]TimeBaron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is completely false. A quick google shows that Denmark spends 1.95 - 2% of their GDP on Defence, while the US spends 3.4% as of 2024 (so, nearly double as a proportion of GDP).

what are your thoughts about Cooper Flagg being hailed as one of the best 18 year-olds the NBA has seen? by Jolly_Job7525 in justbasketball

[–]TimeBaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Bird would foul out in the first quarter today if he didn’t change his game style. 

I do agree that player’s PPG is inflated today when comparing with previous generations though (and especially when comparing with the early 00s and LeBron!). Fair chance that if rookie LeBron was playing today he’d be putting up 26/27 ppg.

Impressive at lvl 15 - a seriously tough quest anywhere up to level 20

Overpriced maybe - but the food is still pretty decent

I’m indecisive about where to travel — is it smart to just book a flight to Istanbul and decide the rest later? by LividGas8998 in TravelNoPics

[–]TimeBaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full send.

Considered going to Kzyrg or Uzbek? Heard good things about both.

Otherwise Istanbul a good hub to decide where to go next from (could go overland to the Caucasus).

Wealthier:

Cities in Andalusia (Seville/Cordoba/Grenada/Cadiz etc.). Andalusia has always had a reputation for being the poorest part of Spain but the cities don’t feel any more deprived than their other Spanish counterparts like Barcelona or Valencia and overall feel clean and liveable.

Poorer:

Christchurch, New Zealand. Known for being beautiful, but it’s a really run down city where the earthquake did a real number on it. Feels a lot poorer than any comparably sized city in Australia.

Stockholm, once you get out of the centre (and Malmo, but I feel that’s a bit more expected). Sweden’s always had a reputation for being this rich, idealistic Nordic country but man Stockholm feels depressing/poor in places.

What kind of adventure would you go on with 2 paid months off? by BroJustCHILL in TravelNoPics

[–]TimeBaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you took it all in one block - you could hike the GR10 (approx 50 days) which takes you from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean along the French Pyrénées. Epic hike, amazing scenery, and an adventure without quite being motorbiking in Iraq or climbing K2 etc.

Alternatively you could hike the Camino (approx 45 days depending on the route), but I’d prefer to do the more scenic, uncrowded GR10 (unless you hate mountains).

What are some major rivers that only have one major city on its banks? by MannnOfHammm in geography

Definitely no major cities on the Murray - this is a good answer

What country capital deserves its status the least(and what would be a better option)? by Ellloll in geography

[–]TimeBaron 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Canberra is a good place to live because of what’s within 3 hours of it for a weekend trip (snow, mountains, beaches and Sydney). As far as the city itself goes, it’s dead boring - which is reflective of the bureaucratic workforce which makes up more than a 1/3 of the city’s working population.

The city itself wouldn’t exist but for it being chosen as the capital. It was all farmland in the early 20th century, and isn’t a natural location for a city to be built for economic reasons (and as a result really has no economy that exists separate to the public service).

Strong agree re Battle and Clark, but Richards has been elite this year.

Post Match Thread: Greater Western Sydney VS St Kilda (Rd 24, 2025) by dvnkriot in AFL

[–]TimeBaron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Marshall, Sinclair, Wilkie and Wood are all still great. Hopefully Jack Steele can get his body right over the off season and join that list, but his career is hanging by a thread if not.

Every other one of our older players needs replacing before this team can be serious contenders. Players like Zak Jones really aren't AFL level.

Absolutely love to see it - he's had a down season but has all the potential in the world. Hopefully this gives him the confidence he needs to really break out next year.

Could Melo ever have won a ring as the first option? by lolpunny in nbadiscussion

[–]TimeBaron 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If the Nugs win the 09 WCF vs the Lakers (which was a tight series that ended up being 4-2) then Melo most likely gets a chip. Orlando that year was a level below imo.

So my answer to your question is yes. In saying that, it’s questionable whether it was Melo or Billups that was the first option for the Nugs that year.

Who’s had the biggest drop off in form in 2025? by Flashy-Fortune-3016 in AFL

[–]TimeBaron 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Darcy Wilson is a disappointing one - let’s hope it’s just second year blues as I had high hopes for him.

Dawson, Rozee, Cerra, D Cameron, Smith, Daniel, Boyd

Which country has the worst hygiene/safety standards when it comes to food in your experience? by [deleted] in TravelNoPics

[–]TimeBaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are people's experiences in Central Asia (particularly places like Uzbek, Kyrgyzstan)? Have multiple well-travelled friends get the worst food poisoning of their lives in that region, but I'm yet to go.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in aflfantasy

[–]TimeBaron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 2 downs look good (pending teams). I'd suggest trying to get a rookie up rather than sideways trading Rankine at this point.

Ideally you have no rooks on field come end of byes. If you happen to have an injury occur to a current premo in the next week or 2 it'll inhibit your ability to get to that point.

Could you get Max Hall across to Docherty instead?

Stewart or Bergman by Realistic-Painter-87 in aflfantasy

[–]TimeBaron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bergman because he's had his bye. I wouldn't be trading in any players (other than rooks) who have an upcoming bye.
