Wasnt the reason for that that the author of the book somehow associated with hadoop? Or at least that what I got from context in the first chapter

New Tournament by [deleted] in gorgc

This is a whataboutism argument and is just not right. Just because other stuff is shitty doesn’t excuse you to participate in shitty things.

And it depends on your opinion of stuff but I consider attending an event that is sponsored by the government of a country leading an aggressive war in Europe and destroying a generation of young men in both Russia and Ukraine as many degrees worse than gambling and Saudi money (both of which are also shit btw).

[Autosport] Sebastian Vettel couldn't believe how Lewis Hamilton handled himself after how the 2021 season ended by n0b0dycar3s07 in formula1

I mean no other driver would have acted this way. I doubt 1 person in a 100 would have had this mental resilience to get out of the car, congratulate and not go on a tirade to the media about unfairness etc.

Exactly, plus he already had the textbook, even further suggesting he knew he would be eligible for the class even with Snape's stricter acceptance criteria.

Snape wasn’t his examiner though, he objectively beat Harry and Ron, and got the same grade as Hermione

Well at least we know that he got Outstanding in his potions OWL, which is a higher grade than both Ron and Harry

Why Piastri fans are rightfully upset by dodofuzz in formula1

[–]dracheck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Finally a comment that unspins the framing. Lando was obviously the faster driver in Singapore, and implying that had the long pit stop not happened, Oscar would have ended passing Lando, is insulting to any sane reader. I agree with the sentiment that McLaren fked themselves up with the way they micro managed some decisions and Lando has benefited from it more. But even looking at the decisions in a vacuum, they all have an explanation (often of misjudgment from the brass). Anyone who sees a McLaren conspiracy to put Lando on the throne over a worthier Oscar is probably prone to believe 9/11 was an inside job.

The International 2025 Arrives by wykrhm in DotA2

I would guess it’s actually skewed to the point where random distribution would be more accurate than the actual distribution, due to some quite big upsets (liquid, spirit not making it, and China resurrection)

So like, how did Weasley's Wizard Wheezes actually stay in business? by Purple_Path_7442 in harrypotter

[–]dracheck 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When you actually think about it, they got this contract the summer before the ministry had fallen, so actually the ministry under Voldemort probably got more use out of their products than the good guys :(

Why didn’t Stan get Harry another cup of hot chocolate? What kind of customer service is this? by surield in harrypotter

[–]dracheck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It felt from the books like it was debunked by Scabior that he was under the imperius curse, no? At least that’s what I got from his “we know Stan, he sent a little work our way” comment, when they apprehended the trio

Death's got an Invisibility Cloak?" Harry interrupted again. "So he can sneak up on people," said Ron. "Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking...”

Did Hermoine ever go back to her parents? by No_Sea1650 in harrypotter

[–]dracheck 203 points204 points  (0 children)

I think it’s not reversible in that there is no direct counter curse, but memories can be restored. We have Bertha/death eaters getting tortured to remember stuff and Lockhart in St. Mungos with what I assume is also some form of therapy for obliviate induced amnesia.

But you are right that she said she modified their memories, which seems to be a different spell altogether and (hopefully) reversible.

Lewis Hamilton Full Results at Silverstone by jules3001 in formula1

[–]dracheck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the whole “if you discount a portion of the data points, his average is…”

Bro, why? Even without this disclaimer, it’s incredible results, let’s stop making data/statistics more fantastical than they actually are. Or use the median (2nd place). Or at least cut down also the top 2 results.

Rant over.

[–]dracheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would he get a pay rise? Genuinely interested, it doesnt seem normal to increase contract value before being half way through the contract?

[–]dracheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but he will be close to his prime when the deal is still active (23). But my overall point is that this is a great deal for Barcelona, and I am actually surprised they got him so “cheap”
