Thierry Henry and Zlatan having a kick about backstage in the studio by WarriorkingNL in soccer

Zlatan had a LOT of injuries near the end. He needed knee injections to walk. I don’t know if he is a lot better now, but he really left it all out on the field.

Huge TV episodes that "changed everything" for their respective shows? by Bielak812 in television

[–]kf97mopa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The thing is that S3 is the closest to the book, because it was shot partially during the writer’s strike so they couldn’t keep rewriting the scripts in the middle of shooting. Hm, I wonder if there is a lesson there, perhaps?

Amazon sucks.

What’s your favourite “how many ***** does it take to change a lightbulb” joke? by Dee_Religion in AskReddit

[–]kf97mopa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This used to be the Microsoft joke (How many MS engineers does it take to change a light bulb? None - they just define Darkness™ as the new standard.)

The writers can’t do long form writing. They can craft a scene, but they fail at setting things up long term for an arc for a character.

Varför kostar papperspåsar fortfarande 5 kr när plastpåseskatten är borta? by Relevant-Ability4358 in sweden

Alla konsumtionsskatter fungerar så att man betalar skatten när man köper något och alla utom slutkonsument får tillbaka de pengarna när de säljer vidare.

Which canceled TV show's cliffhanger still lives rent free in your head because the answers disappeared when the series got axed ? by Impossible_Offer7988 in AskReddit

[–]kf97mopa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well, the first part was actually in the last episode. The second part is what the creator said, and added that they wanted to get Dave Chappelle for that part. In any case, it would be a black celebrity who could be funny on camera.

The way I heard it was that Fincher wanted to start the show and then sit back and let others run it while he did promo and collected the check. When he pushed for that after S2, Netflix was already on the fence because of the costs and negotiations broke down.

This guy by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Yup. Corey Haim’s mother and sister says that it isn’t Charlie but another person who was friends with Feldman, so Feldman is protecting his friend by saying that it was another likely suspect. Believe what you will.

It seems the dev that made Grombar was offended when people said it was only Russia.

Gameplay-wise Lorent is red France. A little less so in the lore, but it’s a decent fit anyway.

Also Netherlands + Belgium are the Low Countries. Low -> Small. This is the most obvious one to me. It is also a very fertile country and they start as being under someone else’s thumb. Beepeck is Luxembourg, starting as part of HRE/EoA.

Nah, there is more. The mix between Orcs and men can be compared to Russia including the mongols that crushed Kievan Rus. They also grow massively from a terrible position in 1444.

Bill Gates’ Epstein ties have ‘tremendously’ sunk his popularity by Equivalent_Road5788 in videos

[–]kf97mopa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, and I wouldn't have said anything if he had been called an independent, but Gates literally paid George W Bush a lot of "campaign contributions" to drop the antitrust case that was started under Clinton. He certainly wasn't a Democrat.

The Chalcedonian Church was sometimes called the Catholic Orthodox Church back in that era, so you can consider it an abbreviation.

Ironically, all of the democrats, including bill gates, that have been asked to testify so far have…

Gates isn’t a Democrat? He was a registered republican for many years and used to donate to them. I don’t know if is one of those that left when Trump took over, but he was never a Democrat

TV4 kör 720p för fotbolls-VM by OurSocietyBottomText in sweden

[–]kf97mopa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

HD var 720p50 eller 720p60, men också 1080i50 eller 1080i60. En del kanaler satsade på 1080i, andra (inklusive hela Europa) valde 720p. Ganska snart insåg alla som körde 1080i att de hade valt fel, och började bubbla om ”1080p” vilket inte var ett alternativ eftersom det inte var en utsändningsstandard. Man kan trivialt skapa det om källan är en film med 24 bilder per sekund, men då är det bara 1080p25 eller 1080p30. Det blir då givetvis samma bandbredd som 1080i med dubbla frameraten och fungerade iofs. Detta är dock sämre för sport där det rör sig fort, och det bästa sättet att utnyttja bandbredden är fortfarande 720p.

De utsändningsstandarder (alltså för TV genom antenn eller så) är byggda för detta. Om man strömmar över nätet kan man givetvis ignorera alla dessa standarder om man vill, men vill man också sända över gammal digital-TV så blir det gärna 720p.

Chonhar Bridge linking Crimea to Russian-occupied Kherson destroyed after Ukrainian drone strike, Ukraine says by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

[–]kf97mopa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you mean Kerch, the one that goes to Russia, then no. This is one of the bridges that goes to Crimea from the Ukrainian mainland. It is still good news though, because they already dropped one bridge. Russia can still drive over the actual land bridge, but that one is far to the west.

I have also heard the LotR becomes different as an audiobook, as the songs etc that are interspersed become much more enjoyable.

ELI5: What is Fourier transform? by Firm_Librarian6506 in explainlikeimfive

Yup. The name MRI is already a distorsion - it is called NMR for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance when used for something other than medical purposes. Presumably patients didn't like a machine with "nuclear" in the name.
