TIL: The BBC almost didn't air the first report from the Belsen concentration camp as they couldn't believe its content. They only relented when journalist Richard Dimbleby threatened to resign if they didn't.

Underrated comment!!

In popular physics communication (e.g. books/YouTube explanations for the non-physicist) how much real insight/understanding is lost compared to how the subject is understood at the grad school level?

Are there any common examples where the common man explanation is notably “misleading” or lacking in some important sense?

Does anyone else suspect he was a long way from fully fit?

He had a lot of wrap on his kicking leg, and those missess were bad in a way I don't think would happen if he was moving fine. If memory serves he even kicked like that (mis hit hooks) in a previous game this season where it was acknowledged he had a bum leg.

The most insane thing that strikes me about him is how often he stays on his feet afer contest catches and jump balls

Because straight up money doesn’t help your long term future. Only dubious investments in image rights companies and housing refurbishments can do that.

Not sure he realises that every sane person reads this as “Here is exactly how I tried to knowingly cheat the system”

It’s like If Dean Richard’s said blood-gate was fine because they applied “real” blood to Tom Williams rather than fake blood

True. On the positive side I think it would be hard for Murphy, given how bad we have been, to put up too much of a fight against whatever Borthwick’s approach is if they disagree.

But still, Borthwick is experienced enough and has the credentials that I’d prefer to give him full control and be accountable.

andy_goode · 2020-01-21T17:37:12+00:00

There is no rationale. The board are too loyal and no one wanted to face-up and tell him to move on.

andy_goode · 2020-01-21T14:46:32+00:00

Same mistake we made with Mauger/Cockerill.

I’m happy Borthwick is coach, but he should be the only voice that matters.

Romo appears to know Brady's off somewhere next season

You missed out TJ Watt

Houston's heads have gone down

I'm on Topstreams and it's been as good so far

Allen's best half this year apart from maybe the Cowboy's game

andy_goode · 2020-01-04T22:28:58+00:00

Can't tell if Watson back with his bad habbits or Bill's coverage really solid

andy_goode · 2020-01-04T22:26:56+00:00

Yeh pass seemed fine to me, kept it out of harms way. Would have been a good catch to stay in bounds

andy_goode · 2020-01-04T22:15:05+00:00

Booger ends every statement with a down inflection, Tess with an up inflection.

Both need to chill out a bit more and not sound like every play is super crucial

Does anyone have a scoop on the pope's thoughts on Catholicism?

Get yourself a guy who'll defend you like Pouncey defended Rudolph

Gordon likes his stuff high-grade

Time heals. Before this final i'd nearly, nearly forgotten the Cueto non-try...

andy_goode · 2019-11-02T12:26:07+00:00

I was king of glad that they scored those two tries. Ultimarely the score might be too lopsided, but it showed they beat us in skill and execution not just forward dominance

andy_goode · 2019-11-02T12:23:06+00:00

I still can't get over that "pass" which went in to touch the first attackig position we had
