When you pay for enterprise equipment, you are typically paying a premium for longer, more robust support. Consumer products are less expensive because they don't get this support.

Yeah he tends to go on nice little runs when we have an injury up front too. He could be more clinical, and he absolutely has times where he offers not much, but he's shown he can step up as a backup. For a position where we don't even have a clear number 1, we sure can't ask for a world class number 3.

In saying that, if his sale will help fund a pickup like gyokeres, guirassy, or oh my days osimhen, while they're unproven in the prem I'd say it's probably worthwhile.

I'm aware this absolutely not the same thing but in league of legends eSports, at international tournaments the teams in the tournament often practise against each other in the lead up to and during the tournament.

Pretty notoriously, the teams that do the best in these practise matches essentially never win. Grand final matchups where one team has 100% record against the other in "scrims" only to get completely demolished in the final.

My point is, practise is wasted if you don't lose it to try things that might result in losing.

I would suggest the following amendments

"I'm holding onto Emile until the end of the night, He'll make an assist and he'll score a hat trick"

I think we can request to vote by post although I'm not really sure. We can vote early in person though, and many people do

Eh, not fucking things up in the way that seems to happen in the states. Our conservative government is much more corporate oriented and less strong on climate policy, but they aren't insane. They don't tend to strip rights from women, and almost the entire party supported gay marriage legalisation with many openly stating they personally disagreed with it but understood that their constituents needs should come before their own opinions.

Edit: I guess to expand upon my point, mandatory voting means candidates need to run on a platform which considers the needs of the whole population. Optional voting means that if 50% of the population doesn't turn up, and 30% of the remaining population feels very strongly about an extreme view, it becomes easier for that extreme view to win an election.

You are allowed to cast an empty ballot, or write in a candidate who isn't running. You just have to participate. When you go, you get marked off an electoral roll. Those people who don't show up get a fine in the mail of something like a couple of hundred dollars. Not bad in isolation but this applies to state, federal and local elections so about 3 times in a 3-5 year period, for something which takes all of 15 minutes out of your day.

Your point is basically the same but I believe he isn't technically a one man dev anymore. For a while, he has worked in a small team, with a few games released/in EA on Steam having been created by former SV devs on the same engine with ConcernedApe's permission.

I assume he also outsources the work of the console ports.

In any case, it doesn't take away from the point, and you could probably still classify him as a solo developer for the purpose of talking about his upcoming Willy Wonka simulator. It's much easier to pay 4-5 people from the proceeds of one of the best selling indie games of all time than it is to pay 40-50 people from the proceeds of a 10 year old game with free updates and expansions. No Man's Sky, for example, must have some really consistent sales figures for them to continue to be making money.

I don't know if it's the same with autism, but I have read about and experienced something that impacts people with ADHD called demand avoidance, where asking someone to come help with a task or complete a task right now really fucks me up. It completely interrupts the flow of what I'm in the middle of, and I also can feel really frustrated about the demand for no good reason.

Giving me a timer, even a short one, gives me time to mentally transition at my own pace. I assume for a "normal" person its easy to just say "yeah, in a minute", but demand avoidance comes with a pretty strong emotional reaction (frustration, anger, guilt) that is absolutely irrational, but can't be helped.

Like I said, no idea if this is a thing with autism and I don't feel like researching it. Maybe for people with autism is more about routine and planning but idk

Edit: realised after I wrote this response that there is a good chance you're just joking about the literal interpretation of the phrasing used in the comic, and that you know all this already, but I'm leaving it up for posterity.

Microsoft's use of CrowdStrike meant that a significant number of their cloud and SaaS offerings also failed, impacting users who likely didn't know what CrowdStrike was.

Heck even 30 minutes ahead for 1% of devices wouldve had a reasonable chance of catching this

 

This is poetry. I believe in us

 

Pretty useless article that says basically what we already know, but some interesting tidbits from other clubs. Here's the Arsenal bit:

Recent years show Arsenal are not afraid of doing business in January and they will be alert again — depending on usual considerations such as injuries, profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) and opportunities in the window.

Last summer’s spending meant the signing of David Raya from Brentford needed to be done on loan with an option to buy (£27million; $34.2m), which shows Arsenal were in a tight spot around PSR. Once adequate finances are available, the Raya deal must be turned permanent.

Let’s see whether those finances are generated from existing resources or require player trading. Should it be the former, departures could presumably be used to enhance the budget. Should it be the latter, there is unlikely to be a huge amount of money at manager Mikel Arteta’s disposal.

The most obvious candidate to exit might be Aaron Ramsdale. Any goalkeeper in his position will want to regular football, especially given the desire to get into England’s Euro 2024 squad, though there have been no significant movements yet — nor are any certain to materialise.

While plenty of speculation has focused on Arsenal potentially recruiting a striker, that is more plausible in the summer. Nothing has developed regarding Ivan Toney and it would take a massive bid to change that, particularly with Bryan Mbeumo out for around three months with an ankle injury.

Even if Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Sesko and Evan Ferguson are among those admired by Arsenal (and many other clubs), it is not anticipated they will land at the Emirates Stadium soon.

Activity in midfield probably relies on somebody leaving or the fitness situation deteriorating. For both reasons, we should keep an eye on Thomas Partey and Jorginho — but it is more realistic to imagine their futures being decided after the campaign has ended.

Arsenal explored the idea of Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad 12 months ago and interest remains strong. However, multiple factors would have to combine to make it happen. Despite his contract including a release clause, the Spaniard would have to agree to go; that has been a stumbling block in the past and may prove a bigger problem given Real Sociedad are in the Champions League round of 16.

Cover at the back offers another dilemma. The absences of Jurrien Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu at full-back — where Partey has also featured — arguably makes defence the area worthiest of strengthening but when everyone is fit, Arsenal are well stocked. So no guarantees but it would not be a total shock if there was a reinforcement here, perhaps on a short-term basis.

 

I might be jumping the gun but I think lemmy.world was having issues when the daily thread would usually go up, so I'm posting in it's absence. Apologies in advance if I'm too quick but my poor memory tells me it's about 2 hours late now.

 

No time today to play around too long so I still need to work on filtering out names, and trying to adjust the shape isn't working properly.

I think this picture sends a really clear message though.

 

I still have a ways to go eliminating pointless words, but sensiblepuffin and Astrealix were absolutely correct that Fuck and Fucking feature very prominently.

Raya is up there too, with Kai. Does that mean Havertz was as good as Raya was poor?

I think I will exclude anything I recognise as a username in the next one, and I also want to add weighting for how many upvotes the comment the word came from got. I also want to make it look nicer - this is the default for the package I was using.

I feel pretty good about this for a first pass. Let me know what you guys think I can change.

 
 

I've been thinking about this a fair bit recently, and hopefully it sparks some good discussion. We're a club with a long history, and a diverse fan base, and it's always interesting to see how people respond to questions like this:

Who are your favourite, and least favourite players? More specifically I'm interested in:

  1. Your favourite player in the current squad?

  2. Your favourite player ever?

  3. Your "what could have been" player - someone you were hopeful about when we signed them, but never quite lived up to the hype?

  4. Your least favourite? Maybe someone who seemed to make it in the lineup no matter what when you could see what everyone couldn't - they were shit.

 

you fuckers are all over my active feed and I'm laughing at shit I don't understand. I refuse to believe the show is this funny, but if, say, a friend wanted to prove me wrong, what incarnation of star trek would they tell me to start from? especially if they knew I hadn't seen a single episode.

 

Bukayo Saka takes out the PFA Young Player Of The Year! Gabriel Martinelli was also among the nominees. Safe to say Saka is a clear winner, given Haaland took Player of the Year.
