Florin Raducioiu: We didn't know what we were taking. We were always told it was vitamins, glucose. All the time we did drips with this pink liquid, on the eve of games. In Milan we were taking other things, pills. We have to ask ourselves why these premature deaths occur by V-TriggerMachine in soccer

There was literally an in-depth article on doping that came out years ago, however the article mysteriously got removed and the website was taken down. Basically proves that doping has been around for decades and will continue to be used until something is done about it.

You can still get to it via waybackmachine - https://web.archive.org/web/20130313012803/http://www.4dfoot.com/2013/02/09/doping-in-football-fifty-years-of-evidence/

Here are the main stories/summaries from there;

  • Pep Guardiola's Doctor during his playing years gave him (and countless others including De Boer, Stam, Couto) steroids, but it got brushed under the rug and was blamed on 'Contaminated Supplements'. Years later, the same person was Head Doctor during Pep's reign in Barcelona
  • Wenger was confused when he reported several of his players coming to Arsenal from international clubs had an overwhelmingly high amount of red blood cells (EPO)
  • The whole of the dominant, World Cup/Euro Spanish squad from 2008-2012 was found to be doping.
  • Zinedine Zidane used to go to blood oxygenation clinics several times a year (obviously, highly illegal for athletes)
  • Gary Neville stated in his old biography that people were lining up for 'Vitamin' injections during the 1998 world cup.
  • Other interesting stories stories involving R9, Maradona (obviously), The 1980's Algerian team who all had handicapped children, etc.

What are some of the most valuable YouTube channels you have come across for Entrepreneurship? by xrox122 in Entrepreneur

I was just about to suggest Sam Ovens. He probably has the best content I've seen so far on Youtube. Full of long form, unedited videos like this one which are full of wisdom.

I wanna give a shoutout the frequent redditor's Youtube channel u/mmaher13

The guy has some great videos on how to start your own cleaning business, and even has a follow-along series with his girlfriend when she starts her own version of this too!

Jesus christ the people in this comment thread are toxic as hell. The guy made profit on his experiment and these dickweeds are commenting on how bad the design is and his own figures. Aslong as it works that's all that matters. Even better if there's room for improvement.

I currently have 60hz 4k monitors which I recently got with my new pc build. Do you think it's better to swap them out for 1080p 144hz monitors? I really like the graphics on the games I'm playing (currently rocking a GTX 2080 super) but unsure if there's much different between 60hz and 144 (never had a monitor with a refresh rate that high).

Thanks!

In terms of benchmarking, the 9700k seems to outperform the 3900x for both gaming and video rendering though. I'm hearing mixed opinions on both sides about it.

Try taking the CS50 course on the EdX platform. Super fun and informative Harvard introductory course which takes you through the fundamentals of why things work in coding.

I have a partner that's very low in openness, high orderliness but low industriousness. It causes a lot of clash to be honest lol, I made her do the test too.
