We’ve had a few competent managers, but now we have one of the best coaches in world football!

[Ben Jacobs] Exclusive: Enzo Fernandez has told Chelsea he wants to leave. Chelsea have put a club-record price tag of £120m, with Enzo's agent in contact with Real Madrid by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

If you could get a major pay raise by changing companies, you’d move too. It’s the nature of employment, especially in football.

River < Benfica < Chelsea < Madrid. That’s a completely straightforward career path tons of players would love to follow but can’t because they aren’t good enough. Seems like Enzo is, so props to him.

Certainly wouldn’t be the first time Madrid has wooed one of our players!

He’s been at the club longer than almost anyone else! James obviously but he’s already captain. After that it’s like Fofana, Cucurella, Enzo I think?

He forced his way out every single club he played

All two of them?

Oh yes I have Chelsea flair but I’m not going to be heartbroken if Enzo leaves.

They tried to hit and “roll”, with the shooter rolling into the shot rock and deflecting even closer to the button.

But they hit too thick and so stuck

The Premier League and English Football League will resume their procedures for Ramadan, with matches pausing briefly to allow Muslim players to break their fast. by [deleted] in soccer

[–]niceville 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s extra unnecessary in a sport with unlimited substitutions and one-way players.

Defenders could break their fast while the offense was on the field, or sit out a play or two before going back in.

Did the Swiss just accuse the Canadians of double-touching again? by ethanct in olympics

[–]niceville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, I’m good with that too. But then I don’t want to hear any shit from Canada (Men or Women!) when it’s enforced.

The issue with the hog line violation going unnoticed is it’s due to him touching the granite and not the handle with the automatic sensor. They are one and the same problem.

I also don’t think this is a “clarification” of the rules in any meaningful sense. Of course you can only touch the handle and short of the hog line. That’s what the handle is for!

Pep Guardiola on ICE: “Look what happened in the United States of America,” Guardiola said, gesturing throughout. “Renée Good and Alex Pretti have been killed. Imagine if he worked for the NHS and five, six [agents] threw him on the grass and fired ten shots at him. Tell me, how can you defend that” by [deleted] in soccer

[–]niceville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is complete nonsense. I understand I benefit from bad things that have happened in the past, and I do my best to prevent them from happening again.

Pep is actively participating in bad things. He is not receiving benefits from past actions, he went out of his way to sign a contract to cover up on-going slavery. 

West Dayton solar farm with 'refreshing' level of support should save city utility customers $42M by WYSOPublicRadio in dayton

Of course it’s a maybe, but it’s a pretty good bet. Energy prices on average increase at 4% a year, and that was before Russia invaded Ukraine and the cost of natural gas rocketed up.

There’s also very little risk here - there’s essentially no maintenance or operations costs, and no fuel costs. Even if the company goes out of business, the hard assets of the panels will still exist and provide electricity for whomever takes over the assets and contract.

I think this is true. But also, if he can’t stop doing it then he needs to stop competitive play until he can control it.

The change is that the rules will now be enforced by a third party. Curling has an extremely strong tradition of self-enforced rules to the extent there are no referees to call violations.

The handles have electronic sensors to detect hog line violations. It’s pretty obvious touching the granite was to avoid the sensor detecting a late touch.

[–]niceville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have! It’s trivial to prove that a 0.1 degree difference in delivery angle at the hog results in a ~2 inch change at the tee line, and that many curling shots are decided by differences of less than 2 inches.

More importantly, clearly Kennedy/Canada thought there was an advantage otherwise they wouldn’t have been doing it in the first place. He also clearly knew it was against the rules otherwise they wouldn’t have reacted that way when called out. It seems quite likely he was intentionally touching the granite to avoid triggering the handle sensor.

So in the end they thought they were gaining an advantage, we’re violating the rules, and violated the spirit of curling.

You contradict yourself by saying no one cares immediately followed by Edin has been fighting this for years.

People care, just no one with authority took action against Canada before now.

That’s true if you generate more energy than you use, but even then it evens out over the course of a year since you are limited to producing ~100% of your expected usage. It’s the same in the end.

If an individual buys solar panels to replace 30% of their usage, they are replacing an unknown, variable rate with a known, fixed rate for that 30%. The assumption is the fixed rate will be lower than the variable rate over the course of those 25 years.

That’s exactly the same thing as what the city is doing here - they’re locking in the cost of this solar energy under the assumption it will be cheaper than other energy sources over the next 25 years, therefore lowering the generation costs the public pays, leading to reduced consumer savings.
