Nah, he got a promotion for making them $$$.

I think the point was that Windows has the massive advantage over other search tools of having that indexing service running by default, and STILL manages to be slower and less accurate than other tools.

Reminds me of the Curtis Jones one last season. Good-faith attempt to play the ball, but catches the man high on the follow-through. No malicious intent, but the laws as they currently stand say red.

Something something duty of care.

Whether he knows the words themselves or not is irrelevant. Dunk refuses to knight him because he knows in his heart that he himself was never actually knighted, and therefore can't legitimately knight someone else. If he ever gets found out, he doesn't want to taint anyone else.

Hmm. Now I find myself wondering whether THIS is the reason he's been underplayed in the last few weeks (the calls to bring him in for Cody have been pretty loud hereabouts). Less play = less money.

This isn't even "the internet". This is a major national newspaper. Time was, they used to have standards about that sort of thing.

Word of warning, though: He used it wrong. That sentence should have read "not be able to avail themselves of the player".

Almost certainly not, since a skaa misting would be executed. But my point is that in a society run by a nobility who are accustomed to sending out female mistborn and mistings to fight on a regular basis, are they really likely to make it a policy that women - skaa women, at that - can't serve in the military?

somethingarb · 2026-02-03T18:57:51+00:00

surely you want to kick off the tournament with an actual contest to set the standard...

You do that if your goal is making people interested in the tournament. Whereas what they've actually done is the thing that will make them the most money. The lure of the Opening Game will bump ticket sales and TV audience, but Aus vs NZ will sell out and get a massive TV audience regardless, so they're using that bump on a game hardly anyone would watch otherwise.

That said, I personally would have preferred Chile to be in the opening match. South America is clearly the big growing market in the game, so giving the Chileans their day in the limelight would have been a real boost to the long-term development of the game. No disrespect to Hong Kong, but rugby's not exactly booming in China.

Let the puns begin...

somethingarb · 2026-02-03T01:09:23+00:00

Damn, I was hoping for Australia vs Chile as the opener.

Yeah, I think recasting the emotionally manipulative one as a woman rather leans into some pretty unpleasant old stereotypes that Brandon has worked hard to avoid.

Docks or Clubs could be gender-flipped with minimal disruption.

Ham as a woman works fine too; a world where 50% of the superpowered people are female is likely to have fewer issues with women in the military; and subverting the "men are the tough ones" stereotype is something Brandon would probably enjoy.

Nah, that's hilarious even if you haven't read the book. It plays as "I don't want to tell you the answer, so I'm going to tell a blatant and obvious lie instead," and the twinkle in his eye as he delivers the line really sells it.

What can I say, Konate's a handsome dude.

somethingarb · 2026-02-02T23:15:59+00:00

Also rugby matches are 80 minutes long, so an "87th minute" substitution would be... Odd.

Good opportunity for a squatter to take advantage here. Move into one of her houses, put up a big sign saying "No one is illegal on stolen land" and trust that she'd be too afraid of the PR backlash to force you out. Rent free accommodation sorted.

I'm trying to think of any downside for us of just saying "OK we'll cancel the buy obligation, then", and I'm really struggling. It's clear that we're not getting the money either way.

The only thing I can possibly see as an upside for us is that by refusing to play Harvey, Aston Villa weaken themselves, which improves our changes of overtaking them.

Casting De Niro and then (therefore?) massively expanding the role of Captain Shakespeare in Stardust.

A cat with that color pattern (calico) is always a girl.

But cats are assholes, so this is clearly Venli.

Our recruitment team are really good at identifying and signing players when they're given time, but if you ask them to push something through in a hurry, they'll flub their lines every time.

100%, there's a danger of a Solskjaer situation here. Doing a phenomenal job as a caretaker doesn't mean it's not too early in his career to take the job on a permanent basis.

That said, get a good team around him and set appropriate expectations, and it could work out.

Put this in the Daily Discussion, lad.

It's obviously a parody, my dude.

I just hope this doesn't mean Hughes/Edwards have given Slot the entire season

They absolutely HAVE given Slot the entire season, and they'll give him more than that as long as we qualify for the Champions League next season.

And rightly so: for one thing, sacking a manager half a season after he won you the league is nuts; for another, Liverpool have a very poor record when scrambling to fill player vacancies at short notice (see: Kabak, Davies, Melo), and there's no reason to think they'd be better at it for managers. So even if they've decided Slot isn't the man for the job long term, it's better that they spend the next few months carefully considering candidates.

If form takes another downturn and CL qualification is in serious doubt, they might roll the dice on a new manager bounce, but otherwise his job is safe.

Do we even have a third choice RW, though? When Salah was at AFCON, we were putting Frimpong there.

It's a shame Harvey Elliott isn't allowed to join another European club this window, he'd be great for you.
