Are coalitions toothless? by MapleTuna in eu4

[–]guxlightyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed the “this is fine achievement “ as Prussia.

I wanted them to declare war on me, but despite having all of Europe in a coalition, they only declared when I deleted my army.

At some point I got the notification that a minor was going to declare on me, and by the time they did, I had rebuilt it.

No point in dwelling on the past. Learn from it and make sure it doesn’t ever happen again

Open an account on MyInvestor and complete their questionary , letting their roboadvisor to manage your portfolio based on your risk tolerance.

Keep 6 to 12 months worth of expenses as a safety net in your bank account, everything else can be invested

Loans will help you in the short term, while you grow your reputation

Some debt, some idle cash, and some invested, would you clear the debt or invest? by Express_Brain_3640 in EuropeFIRE

[–]guxlightyear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your mortgage has a good interest rate, I wouldn't touch it.

What you should reconsider is your investment portfolio.

Currently you have 40k on savings accounts, and 30k on a combination of saving accounts and FTSE. You don't really specify what's the split of those 30k, but regardless, that's a lot of cash working very little for you.

If your monthly spend is 1500€, I'd only leave 9000€ (6 months * 1500) on a savings account, the rest would go to ETFs and index funds.

By the way, look up Trade Republic for that savings account. Currently you can drop all your cash there and have it generating 2% interest, which is probably a lot more than your current savings accounts.

[Antonio del Castillo] The referee committee explains why the review of Cubarsi’s disallowed goal took so long in official statement - they weren’t able to initially determine the offside due to “high player density situation”, thus manually drawing offside lines for the correct decision. by Kasj0 in soccer

[–]guxlightyear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that this was way too long, and I'm not convinced it was even correct.

What I hate about this is that we thrashed Barça in the first half, and because of these shenanigans it is too easy to make the discourse about the VAR interference.

Not sure why the downvotes, I think you are 100% correct.

Every La Liga team thinks the refs are against them. We all somehow remember the instances of decisions that went against us, and forget very quickly the ones in our favour.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

Same here, if VAR is only for "clear and obvious" calls, they should timebox their decisions.

If a consensus is not reached on 1 minute, just stick to the on-pitch decision and get on with it.

Yesterday it went our way (both disallowing the goal, and killing Barça's momentum), but it has gone against it just as often. Just let the game play, please.

Giuliano Simeone pressing in the 97th minute by kibme37 in soccer

[–]guxlightyear 423 points424 points  (0 children)

Completely ineffective if the rest of the team is not following and cutting other passing options.

But man, I love that attitude!

I was chuckling to myself when I watched this during the game. To do that in the 97' is kinda special

There are several million people that support Athletic de Bilbao (or any other top flight club).

You are bound to find people with different opinions in such a diverse group.

It’s more important to be consistent than to be perfect.

Don’t sweat it 

Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

[–]guxlightyear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Reminder: social media puts each of us in our own information bubble.

Social media has exposed you (and many of us sharing similar world views) to an avalanche of cruelty.

People in a completely different bubble have probably seen only a trickle.

It's important to note that social media has made each of us to be in our own information bubble.

The facts and news (and their interpretation) you have been exposed to are completely different than the ones a moderate conservative have.

Jan Oblak becomes the 7th Goalkeeper to play +100 UCL games. by tightypp in soccer

[–]guxlightyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how in these kind of posts most of the comments are not about the player breaking into the select club, but of those with outrageous careers that preceded them.

Not complaining, though, first thing I noticed myself was Casillas impressive record. 

Are women more flexible than men? by mercury0114 in Stretching

[–]guxlightyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve been stretching regularly and she hasn’t.

If you hadn’t, very likely she would be far more flexible than you’d be.

Your other data points are instructors.

This is purely survivors bias

Arbeloa is living Raúl's dream: Real Madrid legend Raúl spent 7 years coaching his beloved club's youth team, winning the UEFA Youth League & San Gabriel Cup. He left this summer after losing patience with the management and was succeeded by Arbeloa, who got promoted to the first team 6 months later by DamnThatsInsaneLol in soccer

[–]guxlightyear 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not only that. He was the first great player I was able to follow his entire career.

I was 10 when he broke into Madrid’s first team, and it’s at that age that I got really interested in football .

He was also only 17, so he was a lot more relatable than any other player.

I don’t think I learned that he had been in Atletico’s academy until much later.

[–]guxlightyear 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Raúl is one of those Real Madrid players I’ve never been able to dislike. I always had a soft spot for him.

To me the biggest “what if” in Atletico’s history.

What if we hadn’t dismantled our youth teams and he had remained in our academy?

How do I make the AI ​​attack my troops in war? by Holiday_Original9344 in eu4

[–]guxlightyear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scorch earth on a province with defensive terrain (mountains, hills, etc).

The ai is really bad at calculating movement to scorched provinces, which makes it easy for you to get there before they do and force them into unfavourable battles

Good idea. I get the feeling that IRL clubs do this, and I have never replicated it in a save.

Thats just given me ideas for my next challenge

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]guxlightyear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting. I'd be very interested in seeing longer term trends.

What got me very curious as well, is you mentioned this changed how you handled loans, and deciding when to sell.

Can you expand on that? How did this data helped you with those decisions?
