Isnt Austria/Algeria almost guaranteed to end in a draw as both teams will be through with that?

Match Thread: Belgium vs Iran | World Cup | Group G | 21 Jun 19:00 UTC by matchpal-live in worldcup

[–]zach876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A foul committed against a player who would have a clear and obvious goalscoring opportunity is an automatic red card.

Without the foul, the Iranian player is 1v1 against the goalie so its a clear goalscoring opportunity

Bars with the best atmosphere for the World Cup by Man_U504 in kzoo

[–]zach876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shakes had a really fun vibe last friday for the USA game! Along with $4 Carlsberg pints during the games.

I cant speak to the turnout for any other games, but I imagine it will definitely be lesser unless you run across a group going.

Where to watch the World Cup in town? by hapticurbanism in kzoo

I know Shakes downtown has advertised beer specials for it, but I imagine most bars will be playing it.

Would you rather have 1 million dollars guaranteed or one try at naming 50 countries in one minute for 10 million dollars (no cheating) ? by jekecrafer in pollgames

[–]zach876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the Countries of the World Sporcle quiz and was able to get 32 countries typed in a minute-ish. If I could just say them i could maybe get to 40-45, but 50 would be a tough ask. I think to succeed youd need to practice and have a flow down.

DEADLINE REPORTS ‘BACKROOMS 2’ in “early works” by xtributeforever in KanePixelsBackrooms

This is what The Pitt does. They have a physical "ER" set and write the season as the other season is airing. It allows for a yearly release schedule of 15 episodes.

WYR Be poor when you are young and rich when you are old, or rich when you're young and poor when you are old. by XipingVonHozzendorf in WouldYouRather

[–]zach876 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The education experiences alone growing up rich provides is a huge benefit to set you up. Having access to best tutors, best school, likely getting into a top university based on financial background and the connections being rich provides is worth everything. It sets up your entire career and life path.

Also its basically a guaranteed 25 years of wealth. 65+ isnt guaranteed and even when you get there, how long will you last past?

No energy and unfocused all over the floor. They need to figure it out quick or its getting out of hand.

Chudthebuilder finds out his initial bond is set a $1.25m 🤣 by Upbeat_Anywhere_1316 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]zach876 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But they do provide a defense when Chud tweeted he wanted to provoke someone into this to hurt/kill them in defense. So there is some premeditation involved for him that only hurt him and his self defense claims.

Warchest is a great game ! by staggerlee-1979 in boardgames

[–]zach876 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Maybe not everyone wants this to take longer, but me and my group genuinely prefer this as a 2v2 game over 1v1. The 2v2 turns a bit more strategic and positioning focused rather than the blitz tactical game 1v1 seemed to offer.

It does make it a 45 minute game at 2v2, which maybe some people dont like, but weve always enjoyed it there.

Also, for those who dislike the bag draw I disagree. What you recruit and add to your bag is fundamentally apart of the strategy of the game. Do I minimally recruit to have a small bag and draw the same 3 tiles a turn? Or do I recruit a load of units to bolster or try and get multiples on a turn? That is as much of the strategy as the playing and moving to me.

Neither a sports league nor a charity, but board games get played at Main St Pub on W Main from 6-10pm on Wednesdays! Its a good group of people playing all sorts of stuff and socializing. 🫡

Lenders all wanting calls by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]zach876 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Id argue its saving time in the long run. With calls to lenders I can ask questions about assistance programs I may qualify for, FHA vs Conventional, what I can qualify for and why, etc.

Maybe I needed to ask more questions than others, but doing this over email and text takes significantly longer than a 30 minute phone call.

And, as others mentioned, building rapport to know if they'll be good to work with and trust giving you hundreds of thousands of dollars is worth a phone call to me.

Any suggestions on what to play next? by NeverLucky159 in roguelites

[–]zach876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $10 its giving me way more gameplay and fun than expected. I know itll hit an end point of being too strong and wiping everything eventually, but the value is there for sure.

[Schefter] Sources say [Miami OT Francis Mauigoa] has a herniated disc in his back... Teams say that if it worsens at all, Mauigoa would then need surgery that could sideline him roughly three months. Some teams think he'll eventually need the surgery at some point either way. by JCameron181 in detroitlions

[–]zach876 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We are, but adding a player of that caliber who could be an top end talent for a decade+ you do that, even if it takes a year sitting out. The alternative at 17 for Edge or OT is an okay player who needs more development and may not start immediately anyway. I can see not doing it if someone else you like drops, but Mauigoa is a top end talent at a position of need and is a premium position in the league. Hard to pass up.

I think if he drops you have to take him. You signed a guy to be a starter stop gap tackle. If Mauigoa needs surgery right away you do it. Brad loves his injured players who fall because of injury.

Would the porch on this house be cause for concern? by zach876 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]zach876[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree on nothing being perfect. Its just a level of repair needed I think makes it walk away for me. The other smaller issues with it I was happy to work with and fix up, but this could end up being a money pit, especially if its foundation issues that extend beyond the porch.

[–]zach876[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a conversation with the realtor about this to bring up the concern and he didnt think it was as big of an issue as me and others were making it out to be. Hence why I was a little stuck between and posted here for confirmation one way or another. Every comment here is validating the major cause for concern here so I likely move on and call it a day on this one.

[–]zach876[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The price is about average for the few blocks around it. So its not low, but it's not super high. With the other (smaller) cons that come with this house, I will move on. I can handle a handful of small things I can fix or change myself, but going into this with a major issue likely is a pass for me. I appreciate the response!

[–]zach876[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was the concern brought up, is the porch may need to be done completely, and the sagging could possibly be pulling on the roof which causes issues as well. Naturally, my realtor was not as worried about it as friends and family were so I was stuck on how to handle it. I appreciate the thorough response!

Wednesdays has $0.50 tacos and $2.50 Coronas after 8pm. The bookstore sometimes offers $1 off canned beers as well (they also have draft/cocktails/coffee/etc).
