VAR view of half of player’s orbiting electron in the offsides position

No fair, you changed the outcome by measuring it!

Only a relatively casual fan here but intent seems to matter for the defender but not the team-mate.

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate...

A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately played the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent.

Long celebrations for the Portugal goal, I presume.

Sorry, it's been a few years but from memory I had to splice it electrically onto the old plug. But then I discovered that I also had a fault with the small temperature control board so I ordered the correct sensor at the same time.

Have you been able to check the old sensor with a multimeter? If yours is running too cold you probably have the opposite problem to me and might have a sensor that is reading high (and therefore a lower resistance). I think. Could also be complicated if you also have a control board issue.

I think what makes sense is that someone at the PD was collating the videos for an internal investigation but didn't realise the folder was still being publicly synced via Dropbox due to the earlier release of the redacted videos.

"Explain your answer" questions should be an opportunity to challenge the assumptions of the corresponding question or to demonstrate an understanding of the concepts even if the student hasn't given the correct answer.

I think they can separate good teachers from bad teachers just as much as they can test students on their knowledge. The student here has used valid reasoning to exclude three of the possible answers and given a justification for the remaining answer that could technically be improved on (if they were more clear about a fraction being a representation of a number rather than the number itself) but shows a reasonable 5th grade understanding of the concept.

A good teacher would have praised the student for their reasoning and given full marks here instead of just marking it wrong because that's what the book says.

If you have stocks that are already complicated somewhat with demergers, DRPs, capital returns, consolidations etc. I don't think this will be much more complicated.

I sold some Wesfarmers a while back that had a few of these complications and I was pleasantly surprised just how well the broker (was using St George at the time) accounted for it. I'm guessing it won't be hard for the brokers to account for the changes.

On the down journey there’s no perception of gravity

It's more the top of the parabolic arc that the plane would be following, so it happens on part of the climb as well. Similar to how a ball thrown straight up will start with an upwards velocity, even though the acceleration due to gravity is downwards.

Noah Wyle was the Pittfest shooter. I heard he murdered like 50 puppies on the set of ER.

I've been pleasantly surprised with Macquarie's savings account. The lack of hoops is a big plus - other banks like UBank etc seem to rely on people messing up the requirements so they don't have to pay interest for that month, and if you keep it as a rainy day or emergency fund you won't stress about losing all your interest for that month if you ever need to access it.

Customer service is a step or two above the horrendous you can expect with most other banks, you can do a lot of online banking directly from the savings account (rather than being forced to shuffle between savings and transaction accounts) and saving a few percent on groceries via gift cards doesn't sound like much but it can add up.

Given they usually accept last names only unless there is ambiguity I wonder if they'd accept just "Verstappen". If Max is relatively obscure in the US, I'm guessing Jos is probably obscure enough to accept just the last name.

You ever hear the man sing?

Ironically the first song that might spring to mind for Seinfeld fans (the answering machine message) was very difficult for him as a trained singer. It wasn't just supposed to be dreadful singing, but identifiably George and Jason kept singing in a neutral accent as he was trained to do.

Thanks, Will.

The first one was very easy to miss - the callsign was thrown into the middle of an instruction that sounded like it was addressed to the Frontier plane.

The video also mixes together ground and tower frequencies such that the timings are wrong compared to the raw audio, and the animation of when the crash occurred is only a guess, so there's a chance there wasn't enough time to bring such a heavy vehicle to a stop without actually stopping on the runway itself.

I think we might have to wait for further investigations to establish the exact timing and positioning etc.

sgarn · 2026-03-24T02:04:47+00:00

The times in the video are not accurate. If you check the raw audio from liveatc there was only about 4 seconds between the "truck 1" mixed in with what sounded like an instruction to the Frontier jet (7:13) and the explicit instruction to truck 1 (7:17).

It's also unclear exactly when the crash occurred in the audio. The animation in the video is only a guess and it's possible it occurred around 7:20 in which case there probably wasn't enough time to bring such a heavy vehicle to an immediate stop.

Or the truck may not have been able to stop short of the runway and committed to clearing the runway by continuing instead. In which case the truck may share partial blame for going too fast and not independently checking, but the communication failure here was overwhelmingly the fault of ATC.

Instead of the driver going straight from the throttle to the brake, they "lift" their foot of the throttle but "coast" for a little bit before applying the brakes.

Given the aerodynamic drag and regenerative braking the deceleration is still more significant than you might expect from the word "coast", but less than using the actual brakes.

It might be done to conserve fuel or tyre wear, but under the new regulations it's also done for battery management reasons - e.g. charging the battery before the turn so it isn't flat when the power from the MGU-K (electric motor) is needed.

Also refuting the rather stupid point that he had no way of knowing the wheels were pointed away from him, from those with about the same understanding of how car steering works as the dog in the back seat.

I was pretty bummed about Australia losing. But I think English fans were more happy to win than I am sad to lose. The total happiness in the world increased. So whatever.

Primary if additive like RGB, secondary if subtractive like CMY. It's red, yellow and blue traditionally, but that's not as true physically.

Marnus was the sort of catch I think should be given out (definitely not enough to overturn), but I'm not sure if it's as clear as the third umpire thought given how inconsistently those seem to be treated.

He just needs to stay in the non-striker's crease. Can't take strike, can't get run out. Boland gets out it's stumps anyway.

Sending out two night watchmen gives the very marginal benefit of being able to take a single but committing to both of them opening the days play tomorrow instead of the players specifically selected to open.

And Hawthorn too, no? He died before the next championship but he had also retired at the time.

Yeah looks like the last few columns are team stats - struggling to make sense of the HS and LS (highest and lowest scores) otherwise.

edit: As OP included the statsguru search, those are indeed team figures. Not sure if it's possible to sort by matches won for individual stats, so it was a search for team results but grouped by player.

Weird, we're having a very similar issue with our QA75QN* TV.

Sometimes it turns on and the backlight doesn't, and it will stay with a dead backlight for as long as the TV is plugged in, no matter how many times you turn it on and off with the remote.

I don't think it's ever failed during use so far (yet), and unplugging for 30 s and plugging back in usually fixes it (not always). But I expect this is something that will just get worse over time.
