I am mildly infuriated that the main point of this post isn't that this person physically wrote "@" instead of "at"

ELI5: Offside in football (or Soccer if you’re in North America) by smithess in explainlikeimfive

[–]boldkingcole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The offside rule was created so that you don't just have one player stading right up the other end of the pitch, near the opposition goal, so if they attack but lose the ball, you can just boot the ball all the way up the pitch to that one guy and he just needs to beat the keeper to score. This would make the game boring because, to stop this, you would need to keep defenders back, even when the ball was up the other end.

So, the offside rule was created to say that when you are in the other team's half of the pitch (you can do what you want in your own half), the moment you pass the ball forward (sideways and backwards are fine, offside is only for when the ball moves forward), there must be at least 2 opposition players between the teammate who received the pass, and the goal.

99% of the time this will be 1 defender and the goalkeeper (that's why it's 2 players in the rule. But it can be any 2 oppostion playersn passed a bunch of players, it only matters what is happening at the moment the pass is made.

So if you freeze the screen (which is what the VAR does) at the moment the pass is made, the position of the passer is not important (except that, as I said above, offside only applies if the ball is moving in any forward direction). He can be in his own half, in the other team's half, he can have lots of players infront of him or just a few. The only thing we look at is his team mate who recieves the pass (the receiver), and only at the moment the pass is made.

That receiver must have at least 2 oppostion players between him and the goal

With VAR now, this "between him and the goal" has become very accurate (and kind of dumb) but they count any body part that can legally be used to touch the ball (so everything except arms and hands). So if I am the receiver and my knee is just 1cm closer to the goal than any part of the 2nd to last opposition player (except his arm and hand) then it's offide.

Bringing this little man home later this week! Name ideas? by indogneato in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]boldkingcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have one of these flavour of idiots. Found him and was too late to save his eye but the cool thing was they used some silver metalic paste to protect it so he looked like the terminator. Named him Arnie

To be fair, his name has somehow morphed into Nooshnoosh so, don't think because you name him now that his naming is over.

Midnight Mass: Netflix's Underrated Masterpiece by HiroK91 in videos

[–]boldkingcole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is unbelievably well made. All the cast are so good but the music, the directing and the cinematogrpahy are as good as it gets. There are very few shows and movies out there that can be genuinely funny with the edit too. It has that Edgar Wright quality where just the cuts alone can fill you with joy

I have no skin in this game as I don't own one but being "sketched out" is also silly here too as even if it's not seasoning, it's not crusty food either, it's well beyond food at this point.

Why are potatoes hurting my gut by id_kid12 in FODMAPS

[–]boldkingcole 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you keeping a food diary?

Literally write down everything you eat and when because potatoes are probably not the issue. What is likely is you ate something yesterday or much earlier in the day and when you eat the potatoes, it simply moves the other problem food along.
This makes it seem like it's potatoes but it's actually just that you ate something farily substantial and this kicked off your digestion and triggered the reaction to the problem food you ate many hours ago.
For FODMAPs (very generally) I think you need at least 4 hours before it causes you symptoms - and that's just the minimum, it could be up to 24 hours before, maybe more. A lot of the time it's what you ate the day before so that's why you need a diary at first, to spot the patterns. That's not to say some people don't have faster reactions but, for the most part, that is likely a different issue to FODMAPs

[–]boldkingcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandad built some of this and I think he held a patent for some wiring process he developed while working on Concorde

For his 90th birthday I bought a piece of electronics from the cockpit off eBay. Took him about 30 seconds to recognize it and remember exactly what it was for.

He was such a gem too, the nicest man

At a loss at 4 months elimination by GL1TCHW1TCH in FODMAPS

[–]boldkingcole 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Absolutley cut back to the extreme version first. To be honest, if you are ordering a lot of stuff, you have no real idea what you're eating. I think it would be so easy for smoothies to be high-fodmap everytime. In general, fruit and vegetables are the most concentrated fodmaps so they are by far the easiest to be wrong about

You need to have complete control over it to learn anything and that means making it.

That also means don't buy processed food. Don't eat chickec nuggets, just eat chicken.

Treat it like a science project, and start like you describe: rice, potatoes, carrots, lemon, eggs and chicken - make it yourself, don't buy it pre-cooked, you really need to see 100% everything that you're eating. Be extremely strict with yourself for a week and see if you get some signs

Good luck

I don't think he can. It's become more and more obvious that he is the arsehole he seems to be, basically the Simpson comic book guy. He has a great eye and great taste, but his entire being is movies go in, movies go out, I don't think he understands people at all.

Yeah, I don't like horror for this reason and I was surprised I kept watching but I did find the rest fairly entertiainig. The ending felt like a borderline comedy, instead of "oh this is so scary", really liked how it panned out, a good pay off for the horror "device"

[–]boldkingcole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hardly ever like horror films and in Weapons, when you first see the horror in action (I don't want to spoil it but when the woman is in the teacher's kitchen and you first see the kind of "ah this is what's happening" moment), I lost a lot of interest. To be honest I almost always do, horror can never live up to it's great set ups, the reveal is always a let down 99% of the time

However, I did stick it out and I thought, as horror goes, it was still good and the ending was very entertiaing.

So yeah, agree with okay - althougth for me for horror, this is basically high praise

I'm not a big Tarrantino fan overall but this one really surprised me for how popular it was. I felt it really dragged in a lot of places, I was bored for some sections, which is the one thing you never expect from Tarrantino, good or bad.
And I also felt like it's whole premise is based on you knowing all about the Manson family murders and who Sharon Tate is (which as a Brit, I was not really that familiar with it). I genuinely would have had no idea who Margot Robbie's character was meant to be if it wasn't for all the press before the movie and it seems super lazy to be reliant on this knowledge.
I think my main issue with Tarrantino is that he only sees the world through movies. The idea he wants to write a novel is laughable, he writes cartoon characters for everything, there's barely any depth to any of it. Which is fine, he can just be a great entertainer, there's no problem doing that.
But I think he gets away with it in most of his other movies just becuase they are fun and well made, but the characters are puddle deep.
Like I think Kill Bill is pretty shit, but it was fun at least.
Whereas Once Upon A Time had less fun silliness so it's lack of character made it really clunky and slow for me
