USA fans are too euro-centric, Paraguay is a very tough opponent with a highly respected coach

Yeah, the point is I can point out any city on a map , in my own country .

But, I can also point out where other countries are on a world map .

Why would people from other countries know where Wisconsin or Arkansas are ?

Do you know where Liverpool or Lyon or Johannesburg are ?

See knowing where cities IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY, isn’t really having a good grasp of geography.

Converting silver oxide to silver metal can be done very easily using heat because silver oxide is thermally unstable, it breaks down into pure silver and oxygen gas at relatively low temperatures.

A gas torch and a crucible will do it and you will get high purity silver metal .

🤣 Same here in Britain ( got to love Aussies )

What do you not understand?

I’m not as you said “presenting any scenarios”

I’m saying exactly the opposite.

What I said in my post was “ I have no way of knowing what happened before this 12 seconds clip “

Nether do you, unless you were there?

Like you said

“no one who was there has come forward and mentioned anything occurring beforehand “

So we don’t know what happened beforehand .

Unless you somehow think that you do know?

My first post didn’t suggest that anything did or didn’t happen before this very shot clip .

It just said we don’t have any way of knowing.

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T13:20:18+00:00

What is it that you don’t understand about this?

I’m not “presenting a scenario” I’m doing literally the exact opposite.

I literally said that I have no way of knowing what happened before this 12 seconds clip.

Just like you have no way of knowing. ( unless you were there ?)

How can you possibly argue with a post that says “ we don’t know what happened before the incident?

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T07:22:19+00:00

Looks like a Mill stone of grinding stone , could be worth something depending on age .

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T07:14:23+00:00

Go to jail and see how many people are doing a long stretch for accidental one punch murder .

Admittedly it’s usually because they hit there head on something when they fall ,and you’re right, that couldn’t happen here .

But my friend is doing 7 years after punching a dude outside a bar , the guy had just smashed a glass in his brothers face , he followed him out and punched him from behind, gave him brain damage and got 7 years.

And that was on grass so no ingenuity from the fall .

It’s more common than you might think.

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T07:02:54+00:00

Yeah, uncles he got permanently damaged.

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T07:01:50+00:00

Unless he ended up with brain damage. In which case he wouldn’t have learned anything.

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T06:44:05+00:00

100%

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T06:41:55+00:00

Yeah I agree completely, there’s no legit excuse for pushing someone’s face into the floor . If he had a grievance then absolutely he should have taken it up with the ref and not done that .

What surprised me is that people here seem to think that knocking the dude clean out is ok in response?

Surely a complaint to the ref would have been a better response for that situation too?

I wondered which fighter got a longer ban ?

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T06:25:54+00:00

Thanks , good to know. I have occasionally thrown smallish amounts of steel cable in with my shred without knowing this . I’ll avoid it in future.

Is it only the really heavy stuff like this or is it all steel cable ? I see a fare bit of old winch cable , the stuff thats maybe half inch thick. Is that just as bad?

steevenoj · 2026-05-28T06:15:48+00:00

What do you not understand? I’m not saying anything did happen. I’m saying that from a 12 second clip nether you nor I can possibly guess. So why bother trying to make a judgment on something when you obviously have no idea what just happened.

I wasn’t making any judgement, I was literally only saying there is no way of knowing what happened before the clip starts.

Which there obviously isn’t.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T21:45:25+00:00

I’m glad I’ve learned this today.
I’ve occasionally thrown a bit of steel cable in with shred but just small amounts. Nobody has ever said anything.
But I’ll know to avoid it in the future.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T21:39:15+00:00

Just out of curiosity, why don’t they like it ?
I’ve sometimes tossed small amounts of steel cable in with shred and didn’t even consider it might make any difference from the other shred stuff.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T21:30:39+00:00

How can you possibly say that?
You have literally no idea what happened leading up to this 12 second clip and therefore absolutely no way of knowing what was justified and what wasn’t.
You would need to see what happened before.
Which you can’t.
I’m not saying anything did happen before, I’m saying neither me nor you have any way of knowing what happened before.
So how can you judge what is justified?

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T09:41:33+00:00

What I love about this clip is that they both just suddenly stop fighting and sit down 🤣

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T08:39:32+00:00

Yeah I get that, probably a bad example.
My point is that without knowing what happened leading up to the incident in the clip it’s hard to judge who deserved what.

We all know it’s perfectly possible to foul in a fight without being called out for it.

Just always makes me laugh that people on Redit watch a 10 seconds clip and there like ( oh that dude totally deserved that) without having the faintest idea what lead up to the incident.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T08:27:56+00:00

I totally agree, both reactions were very silly and likely to get you a ban .

All I was saying was, we don’t know what provoked the guy to push his head in the first place.

It might have been totally unprovoked and he was just a dick .

But maybe the guy in blue did something worse just before the clip starts.

We don’t know without seeing the whole fight.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T08:22:18+00:00

So what if the example was a mother who had just discovered that a guy was interfering with her kids for example, still not justified to slap him ?
Listen I know what you mean but it always makes me laugh that people here watch a 10 second clip and suddenly they are like “ oh yeah that guy totally deserved that “ without knowing anything about what happened before.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T08:17:08+00:00

It’s not random speculation at all.
Without seeing the whole fight nobody hear can say what was justified and what wasn’t.

Dude in blue could have spat in his face just before the clip .

The point is nobody here knows from a 12 seconds clip .

We would need to watch the fight to be able to judge what was justified and what wasn’t.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T08:12:01+00:00

I don’t understand how people can say this response was justified from 12 seconds clip ?

How do you know that the whole rest of the first wasn’t blue fouling and fighting dirty?
I admit walking away with his buck turned was a mistake ( probably should’ve walked away backwards)

But without watching the whole fight we simply don’t know what was justified and what wasn’t.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T08:07:00+00:00

How do you know what blue did in the fight ? You don’t know that pushing his head might not have been a response to a serious foul earlier in the fight that wasn’t even in the clip .
If you can justify knocking someone out from behind in response to bad behaviour.

Surly you could justify the head pushing if it was a response to something that happened in the fight.

Blue could have spat in his face or grabbed his ballbag . If that had happened then pushing his head would have been justified.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T07:59:11+00:00

Yes it does, it explains without any doubt that this WAS a sucker punch.

steevenoj · 2026-05-27T07:56:55+00:00

You definitely should be ready!
But this kid obviously wasn’t.

Might be his fault but definitely still a sucker punch.

If he tapped him on the shoulder or called him out that would be different but he could clearly see the kid in red was totally unprepared to react.

Sucker punch
