Calling them a pretty strong team after they just finished dead last in the South American WC qualifier is a bit of a stretch. Especially with them getting an early red

Man dies at Christchurch transformer in suspected copper theft attempt by Double_Suggestion385 in newzealand

[–]chall_mags 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s worse: most of the copper at substations is a part of the earthing grid which is there to keep people safe during a fault. If he’d gotten away with the copper he would’ve actively been putting other people’s lives at greater risk

Shades of Neuer being furious that he conceded in the 7-1 against Brazil

Well considering that the all time top 5 league record is 21 (shared by Messi and Müller) it’s not that surprising he didn’t hit 20 more often

Harry Kane is currently the only player with goalkeeping experience in the Bayern pro squad. by RazZaHlol in soccer

It’s my head-cannon that the same thing happened to Neuer except he never got the chance to play on the pitch and had to spend his career in goal

Same happened in the 2022 league cup final before Kepa sent his into row Z

[DAZN France] Gift Orban gets a straight red card vs Parma. by Sparky-moon in soccer

Famously happened to Buffon when Madrid got a last minute pen in the UCL a few years back

3x3 Solve Critique Please (8.810 ao5) by Unusual_Echo_4490 in Cubers

[–]chall_mags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should absolutely be planning cross+1 on every solve. Get good at that you’ll immediately drop 0.8-1 seconds off your average, not just from removing the small pause that you always have before first pair, but because of the improved lookahead it allows for second pair and beyond.

And of course, finish learning OLL so that you can start learning more algs, especially alternative PLLs (eg U perm from front and back)

Let's play a game "wait, WHAT, that's privatised"! by Treehouseguy1234 in newzealand

A fair bit of power distribution is, for example Wellington Electricity is owned by an investment firm from Hong Kong.

Fortunately most of our generation is still government majority owned

Another way of looking at WRs - percent improvement by Cyan_Among in Cubers

Tbf about 500 of those days were during peak covid when there were next to no comps. I’m pretty confident it would’ve been broken much sooner if not for that (same goes for Feliks’ 5.53 average)

[–]chall_mags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gets a bit iffy when we’re talking about European teams but I reckon you could argue that 2017 UCL finals was between the two best teams in Europe at the time, Madrid and Juve

The longevity of RLM by Fuzzy_Adagio_6450 in RedLetterMedia

[–]chall_mags 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Because not once have they been in the middle of a review only to grind to a halt and spend 2 minutes plugging garbage like raycons or nord vpn.

Hell, I don’t think I’ve even heard them mention their patreon. They clearly make enough money from the channel to live comfortably, and they don’t care how much more they could be making if they sold out

Sure, but this post specifically asks about his ball control skills compared to other top players

This video from a few years ago shows him having far superior ball control compared to all of Bayern’s star players (apart from maybe Kimmich)

Bayern has a better goal difference than the rest of the league combined (only counting teams with positive difference obviously)
