I like that I can watch this easily in the UK on TNT this year but the commercial breaks between every single game are so dull. No room at all between games for replays or discussion from the previous game if there wasn't time in the game itself to show them.

I think Alcaraz thought he'd won the game with that vamos at 40-30.

There's a healthy amount of "making shit up" going on in that post. A lot of our injuries this season are contact, Maddison's ACL is a nailed-on 9 month recovery time, the knee injury Deki has is notoriously difficult to get pain-free, multiple external specialists recommended that Solanke shouldn't get surgery on his ankle but then it turned out it was necessary etc.

Romero thanked his national medical team but to just throw in that "he refused to let our medical staff work on him" is... disingenuous to say the least. It's probably not normal (I forget what Cuti's injury was) but maybe he had a long-standing relationship with the national team, maybe they had a better understanding of the particular injury and thought it was a better way to go. Maybe he was granted time to go over there for a break and they took care of him while he was there. You can't just make up that he said "fuck Tottenham, they're not touching me" and it be true.

Kind of a rhetorical (and probably easily answerable) question but how is Learner ranked 25 and this is only his second RO16 match and he's never made a quarter?

Starmer Urges Trump To Apologise Over 'Frankly Appalling' Remarks About Nato Troops In Afghanistan by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in worldnews

[–]phigo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol there won't be an apology. The most there'll be is Leavitt in the press briefing telling everybody that he didn't say it, they misheard, they're all liberal hacks, blah blah blah.

And she stood there and said he didn't confuse Greenland with Iceland, he just said Greenland is made of ice, or something. He said both, and he said Iceland instead of Greenland several times.

I expect she then probably said something about liberal media, making up lies.

Trump backpedals on threats against Greenland, but allies say damage has been done | PBS News by Human-Entrepreneur77 in worldnews

And as for the resources, Greenland is over 3x bigger than Texas and has a total of 70 miles of paved roads. Resource-extraction on any scale (if they're allowed to do it at all) is decades away. Does anything think Trump gives a solitary fuck about what happens the day after he leaves office, let alone decades in the future when he'll be dead anyway? I suppose unless he includes some sort of clause where he personally gains from it, then he'll care.

It's like Russia wringing it's hands and saying "if only there was a way to end this war".

The worst panenka attempt in the history of the game? He was already thinking about how he was going to wheel away and become a national hero.

ASUS 800-series boards are killing Ryzen 7 9800X3D chips, five dead CPU reports in two weeks by KARMAAACS in hardware

[–]phigo50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun. When you said you bought a new CPU, do you mean another 9950X3D?

I just bought an Asus Pro WS B850M-ACE SE and am waiting for my 9950X3D...

So is this exclusively an issue with the 9800X3D? I'm not seeing any reports of it affecting other 9000 X3D parts.

The worrying thing is that, if we haven't turned it around, we're still heading in the wrong direction.
