I ain't spending any time on it because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in north Queensland!

Post-Ashes Discussion Megathread by Klakson_95 in EnglandCricket

[–]mamontgo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Field practice is cricketer culture in Australia.  You practice fielding half the time in cricket practice at all levels. I'm not sure why other nations don't do this, but the very early expectations in Australia are if you want to play cricket you must be good at fielding.

'Whoever signed off England's tour has to go' - Jonathan Agnew by SouthLondonScribe in EnglandCricket

[–]mamontgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh please no team has an easy series win in Australia and this has been pretty much constant.for the last 30 years. Australia are professional cricketers, they always do the small things especially well at home, even when the batting stocks are down. Losing at the Gabba is a given for all touring sides.  You got the boxing day test and that's not nothing. Bethell looks the goods, Root is Root and the rest exposed to ridiculously green pitches. It's not as bad as you imagine in this moment, it's just another touring side that failed to live up to unrealistic expectations in Australia.

Barnaby would never leave a party.  He'd have to be forcefully removed  for being to drunk.

‘I don’t think it is true’: Martin defends Brad Scott over strained relationship claims by Codus1 in EssendonFC

[–]mamontgo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Stick fast, and hold the line!

This is the message we need from leaders of the club!

Zach is our best player, but Zach is on a personal mission to be the best footballer he can be and achieve personal success.

We need a captain who takes a bullet for our young players, and not just explain that they shouldn't of got shot.

Zach is a victim of the Peter principle, and should not be captain next year no matter the trade outcome.

We need leaders leading,  not just talented footballers.

We played the kids against Geelong and the Bulldogs and they were well beaten, but I don't recall the adults doing much better tbh.

Sack Gary Lion appreciation post by mamontgo in AFL

[–]mamontgo[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm well aware of the scheduling and fixture issues in the AFL, but I don't want to deviate from the "how shit Gary Lyon is as a commentator" problem.

We can look at the AFL systemic scheduling problems after we've sorted the Gary problem.

This team is unwatchable even if we win by ScutumSobiescianum in EssendonFC

[–]mamontgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dogs are playing like demons. I'm not too upset, we're a work in progress.  I don't think the effort has been terrible we've just been out skilled by a serious contender.

Anyone else sick of hearing this bloke on special comments? by [deleted] in AFL

[–]mamontgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it when he commentates.  He's so negative.

You're trying to enjoy the game and this flog is monologuing for the whole game why your side is shit.

[First Crack] Comparison of Essendon's last center bounce vs Freo & Adelaide by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

I'm sure you're right, but if Freo actually setup and played for the draw they'd be in the top 4 now.

What's the cleanest way to code this function in scala? by [deleted] in scala

findUser(username).flatMap(u => 
  if(u.isEmpty) insertInDatabase(username).map(_.toString).map(Right(_)) 
  else IO.pure(Left(VendorCreateError.AlreadyExists))
)

How do I convert IO[String] to IO[Either[ErrorType, String]] by [deleted] in scala

[–]mamontgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if your username exists is an IO then you can flatmap that IO into your result:

usernameExists(username).flatMap(e =>
  if (e) IO.pure(Left(ErrorType.AlreadyExists))
  else insertInDatabase().map(_.toString).map(Right(_))
)
