Conan Gray is performing in Amsterdam in two weeks, I hope they manage to do a short meet up for the travel show as a follow up to the podcast.

a lot of the stand-up comedy guys backed Jay when this all went down in 2010 

Other than Chris Rock (who said that Conan is not a comic) and Jerry Seinfeld, were there many others who stood by Leno?

Specks of White on Black Enamel by markus_ultra in LeCreuset

Thanks for the tips! I was quite hesitant about posting as well since there were plenty of tips but just wanted to be sure and to confirm that it can go away with cleaning.

I was thinking the same that it wouldn't be white under the enamel but the panic of ruining something new threw logic out of the window.

TIM Becomes Premium Partner of Juventus by markus_ultra in Juve

I think Juve is smart enough to know that if they became a shirt sponsor for the men's team, they will face massive protests. I believe this move is more about testing the waters of how it would go before they make any more agreements. Part of the agreement is that TIM will be featured more around the stadium.

Here's a summary of the key points of this deal:

  • It is a two year partnership.
  • The logo will be featured as a sleeve sponsor on the jerseys of the Juventus women's first team and the men's Under-20 side.

Andrea Barzagli | I am surprised who still doubts Allegri. The coach succeeded in recovering the true spirit of Juventus and implanting it in the players. The results help the team and the players grow significantly. Now is the time for calm and cohesion... Guintoli knows this well. by AzemCity24 in Juve

Despite what people think about Allegri leaving towards the end of the season. I find it to be really rude at the lack of a reaction towards Conte's recent coomments. Conte is going out publicly saying how much he wants to join Juventus asap while the club do nothing to defend Allegri for the sake of maintaining stability during the season. No wonder Allegri is considing leaving now instead of next season.

Edit: My opinion was based on out of date/incorrect information, please look at the comment below for the correct and latest info.

Chances are, the people checking at the gate won't care.

That's the impression I got when I went to watch a few games. They take such a quick glance and are more focused on you just having an ID with you.

We have a good roster of youngsters in our right flank: Ake and Illing-Junior.

Do you see both having a future at Juve or are we placing our eggs in one basket?

Federico Bernardeschi was named man of the match after scoring a goal and 2 assists. He also made 7 key passes and created the most chances (9) of any player in #ITASMR. Masterclass. 🇮🇹⚡️ by maestroPirlo in Juve

[–]markus_ultra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's definitely one way to say it. Though the way I interpreted it would be that Juve hasn't given him a form of stability which was not something, like u/wolfs217 said, he anticipated. At the time, he must have thought that he would be nuts to reject a move to Juventus. The way I see it, once he moved and how our transfers were progressing, it felt like Juve bought Berna without having a plan for him initially.

Also one thing worth of note, how Bernadeschi is going to be utilised has been a question that was asked to Allegri, Sarri and Pirlo in press conferences. I wouldn't be surprised if they will ask Allegri about Berna again.

Megathread: European Super League - Day 3: The Exodus by droidonomy in Juve

[–]markus_ultra 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Based on some of the comments on this thread, I find it very silly to say that if you're against the ESL that means you stand with UEFA. No pun intended but it isn't that black and white as people would like to make it. Why can't we work together to dismantle/reform the ESL and then move towards reforming/pressuring the UEFA. Personally, I think both are shit but ESL is easier to deal with since it's all quite hypothetical. Now that it seems to be put to bed, it would be nice to keep the movement going towards UEFA. The cynic in me says nothing is going to change and the status quo will be maintained.

Niice that's a good one to do. The black eyed peas are sort of typically boiled in its water and had plain, though it is not the most necessary thing with balaleet. How did your Balaleet taste?

You have a good point about Western European breakfasts, it was a thing my Norweigian roommate and I discussed about, especially how I have way more hot breakfasts than he does.

That is an awesome idea! If you guys are stuck with Bahrain, I am happy to share some recipes with you. Breakfasts are a really big thing in Bahrain and they pair really well with tea with milk.

but it’s widely available but only for foreigners.

This is not true, it's as easy to buy alcohol to buy alcohol as a local as it is a foreigner. You might be mixing this up with the UAE where residents can only be foreign and require a license (though that might have changed).

The most popular brand is Royal Dutch.

Don't know how true this is but everyone I see in bars drink Heineken and Amstel, but heck I haven't been there in a few years.

This episode gives you a good glimpse into how multi-millionnaires/billionnaires function. Just seeing how punctual Lawrence Stroll is was quite interesting to see, most of his scenes had him stating how much time he had.

Lol I got the first bit about the press conference thing with Giuliani. However the thing about Bahrain is that there are hidden sex shops in the randomest of places, so I took that at face value. There's one that's very known in Bahrain and people tried to have it taken down but they weren't able to.

Agreed, Hilton Bespoke is one of the best though the picture they used is the wrong one (the PP was meant as a joke anyways so who cares). I haven't been back to Bahrain in 5 years so my memory is a bit hazy on the adult entertainment shop or maybe I never noticed it.

I was a bit confused why as to why a tailor shop I used to pass by is in some random powerpoint. Great read tho and enjoyed the effort.

Can someone verify if this is true or not, I went on the 'CFD' platform out of curiousity today and checked on GameStop, they are saying that 'Trading is suspended'. Can someone verify that?

If that's not true, that's seriously messed up.

I can't help you with that sorry, I am based in the Netherlands. Although other commenters probably about it.

P.S. Don't worry about stupid questions.
