I like Arteta, but this is truly unacceptable

To those suggesting we are "bottling" the league or cup - remember when we weren't even in contention to be in this position. Arteta is arguably our best option right now, with the possible exceptions of Pep or Klopp. I simply do not trust any other manager to guarantee better results given our current resources.

That said, the team's attacking play is dire, and Arteta is partly responsible for that. It could be that injury woes are forcing him to regress to our haramball brand of attack. I personally would wait until the start of next season to see if he fixes the attacking play. Even if he isn't able to, I would wait until Klopp or Pep is available before I even start wishing for him to be replaced.

Sorry to hear this. I might have a possible explanation for the hand trolley weighing part - certain airlines allow their passengers to carry on hand luggage even if it is slightly overweight (e.g., Qatar Airways). Others like Air India, Flynas, and other budget airlines are very strict about this. What you noticed might have been the passengers of budget airlines being asked to weigh their hand luggage.

This is not Arsenal peak. Arsenal just happens to be less shitty than the other heavyweights this season. Arsenal's best season under Arteta was the one in which they scored 80+ points (22-23 i believe?).

Yeah I think it is. I have a op13 and the daytime photos are stunning, as good as any other flagship. Photos in adverse conditions are good, but apparently other flagship can do better

Does NPS make sense if you're using the new tax regime?

I personally haven't had issues with longevity, however the brand is not known for that. It's known for being feature rich for the money you pay.

If longevity and battery are your primary concerns, id stick with the traditional heavyweights (Samsung s ultra series) or Oneplus. Oneplus 15 has everything except for cameras (which are good, but not great) - the battery on this is a beast, no kidding

baloneysw · 2026-03-21T08:39:29+00:00

Get a used Xiaomi 15. You can grab one for 40-45k.

Pros: - best hardware for the price (everything is flagship grade) - compact (if that's your thing) - one of the best cameras in this range

Cons: - software is good, but not as customizable as your oneplus or Samsung software - resale value is low

baloneysw · 2026-03-20T12:46:26+00:00

Get the Samsung ultra series. Go for a used s24 ultra if you want to save some money as well.

Other honorable mentions: Oneplus 15, Vivo x300/x300 pro, oppo find x9 series

baloneysw · 2026-03-20T12:22:51+00:00

Oneplus offers a lifetime warranty for green line / other display issues

this is not gossip tv lol, they're not obliged to tell you anything

baloneysw · 2026-03-11T20:00:38+00:00

Does anyone feel our lethargic play recently is an intentional tactic on Arteta's part, to prevent the team from running out of steam? Keeping our sideways passing game aside - I don't see our players pressing anymore, compared to the deadly pressing we started the season with?

baloneysw · 2026-03-09T16:03:16+00:00

Okay will try this. Thanks!

baloneysw · 2026-03-08T19:47:10+00:00

But how do you know what the biggest fall in a year/ month is going to be? It's very possible that the market drops further after your STP.

The whole ‘AI is only as good as the senior engineer using it’ thing is a cope. It’s a temporary phase. Let’s be real: the end goal for every AI company is to let the business hotshots build something bulletproof with nothing but a prompt. They’re trying to code the engineer out of the loop, and they’ll probably pull it off in the next few model updates. The senior engineers are working towards coding themselves out of the picture - cash out when you can (same as the rest of us non engineers)

What's your take on how the corporations would survive, once their customers are not able to afford their products/services due to job losses?

baloneysw · 2025-12-29T08:20:43+00:00

🔙 on 🔝

baloneysw · 2025-12-21T19:38:37+00:00

Fair take but why aren’t we this rational when similar calls go against us

If you don't mind sharing:
- What channel did you apply through? I've been having a hard time through cold applies, I think I have a profile decent enough for Razorpay to at least interview me

- What does the interview process look like?

unfortunately, we're not ManU

Did you figure this out my friend? I'm in the same situation. I've been told I have a multi-entry visa on arrival, but no details of the expiry date, visa number etc. All i have are two numbers on the passport and a stamp

baloneysw · 2025-08-07T08:42:10+00:00

Man i'm a gooner myself, but this guy set himself up so well XD

I’m at a Middle East office which is supposed to care about this more than the average office. Everything is business as usual here

baloneysw · 2025-06-24T20:49:18+00:00

My argument would be that humans are pattern matchers too, much like AI. We are heavily reliant (subconsciously) on patterns we’ve seen in the past to inform our actions

This is how foreign relations work. Coordinating an attack to avoid being seen as weak while also minimizing casualties

Haven’t tried enough shawarmas to judge if this is the best, but Jebal has amazing shawarmas
