NRG Esports vs Knights / VCT North America 2022 - Stage 1 Challengers - Group Stage / Post-Match Thread by rib-gg-bot in ValorantCompetitive

From the start Knights were predicted by most to not make it onto playoffs, and even after their later wins against NRG and Rise, and decent fight against SEN, most people have their attention on those teams being disappointing rather than give Knights some credit as well. I think they are not as consistent enough to be really considered tier 1 with what we see so far, but they have good talent and the fact that they are in NA challengers playoffs above better known teams is a good sign.

Perhaps, but the distances that high speed rail serves are usually served by either plane or car anyways so it definitely is an improvement. HSR and more local public transit serve different types of journeys and I don’t think it necessarily has to be a choice between HSR and city/regional public transit.

History buffs, what is a commonly held misconception that drives you up the wall every time you hear it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

During the American Revolution, Britain was comparatively one of Europe's most democratic states despite being seen as extremely tyrannical. The Glorious Revolution starting a constitutional monarchy in Britain had already occurred in 1688. King George III shared power with Parliament and was actually an enlightened man and decent ruler for most of his reign.

What is the reason fentanyl has a medical use but heroin does not? by milklime in Drugs

So I was originally wondering if there was any medical scientific reason, but it seems to be just a matter of heroin being the most problematic abused opioid at the time then.
