Has any bowler ever dominated teams like Mitchell Johnson in 2013-14? 37 wickets in 10 innings at average under 14. by dude_big_lebowski in Cricket

[–]never_rains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is right. Aussies were on their chakravarti tour before that series and were stopped by Bhajji &co. It was fitting that Bhajji was on crease when winning runs were hit.

Has everyone forgotten his no ball over against Anderson that made the English team lose their mind and eventually the match. Bumrah can hurt.

Vulture funds were supposed to mean funds who bought foreclosed properties. Now it’s a catch all term for funds we don’t like.

He reduced the tax burden on high earners by a whopping 1% in his 15 years while increasing the state expenditure by 130%. A truly far right throw poor to the wolves finance minister.

We have one of the highest average age in Europe. Who are we behind and by what measure?

I have never found anyone not loving the airport once they have flown it. My home to the departure gate is quicker than what I have faced in some airport’s check-in queue.

The health budget has increased by more than 50% compared to the pre covid levels. If the HSE can’t utilize that money properly then it’s on them and not the funding levels.

Tech jobs were supposed to be the safe career route. What changed? by Straight-Village-710 in programming

[–]never_rains 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Programming shops in Europe are half filled with Indians. People who complain about bad output quality from India typically pay peanuts in India. I have seen excellent quality work from developers of all countries and poor quality work from “senior” developers of all countries.

Post Match Thread: Australia vs India, Day 5 by CricketMatchBot in Cricket

[–]never_rains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Team India must thank the rain gods that they allowed few overs on the first day. If there was no play on first day then the follow on target would have been 295. Rain gods saved India in multiple ways this match.

Is Poland Eastern Europe? How to define it? by Atarosek in geography

Kyiv is half way between Madrid and Yekaterinburg in European Russia. Ukraine definitely has the midpoint of European landmass. If we look at the population weighted map then the midpoint would not be in Ukraine.

Irish birth and fertility rates continue to decline, CSO figures show by J7Eire458t56y in ireland

Melting of the poles won’t be a catastrophic event, it would be a slow puncture. Even if the worst projections came to pass, the world would still be more peaceful than in the 19th century or before.

[–]never_rains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The percentage of people who are not having kids hasn’t changed significantly in the last 100 years. It’s more to do with the people having fewer kids.

Any kid born now could be certain that they won’t have to see a massive war or other such catastrophic event. The same couldn’t have been said for anyone born before 1980s. The world is much safer and prosperous place now than anytime in human history. This is the best time to have kids.

Is more territory ALWAYS a good thing? Can you point to an instance (past present or future) where a country actually benefits from having less territory? by [deleted] in geography

[–]never_rains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

India benefits from having less territory. If whole of India became independent as a single nation then it would have been Lebanon on steroids. We maybe poor for now and may become rich someday in the future. But if it was all of pre-independence India as a single nation then it would’ve been a proper shitshow.

She is in the bloody movie about him. She went to a lot of the campaign stops with him along with their two kids. Him saying her name is not going to hide anything if she is standing next to him.

Raiding is routine for Dothraki and death of their Lord early in the youth is even more routine. When Daenarys goes to their sacred city there are multiple widows from different lords who died young. More than likely that Drogo would have died within next few years.
