  1. Television 3 Body Problem

    Oddly the first thing I thought of when I saw that court was the same, cruise ships have a top to their courts too. But really not a big deal. Nice touch, spot the bottle the guys drinking from on the beach, holy moly. Personally having read and been blown away by the ideas and breadth of...
  2. Baltimore bridge collapse

    I'm also kind of shocked a ship that big can lose all power. I'd of thought they'd have multiple backups, alternates and so forth for the props at least. Kind of wild it can just shut off all at once with a single-failure. Would expect way more ports to be destroyed if that's a common design...
  3. Biggest Myths in Football

    I've actually been thinking about that Jose team alot in context of City's sterile possession. It felt like that Chelsea team would simply not let a lead go, but they didn't do it by being dull and passing around. I genuinely don't remember now how they managed to be structurally sound...
  4. Baltimore bridge collapse

    I've never seen anything like that. Can't imagine they'll find everyone but let's hope. All on the ship are okay.
  5. Donald Trump The First - Indicted The Fourth

    Presumably the ruling also points towards an appeal being at least considered by that court - is it the same one that will hear it? My reading of various legal scholars on the original verdict was basically that his lawyer did such a terrible job it's almost unappealable according to the law...
  6. Donald Trump The First - Indicted The Fourth

    My new silver-lining of all this is that the idiot GOP base needs to get what it wants for 4 more years to lance the boil that is the MAGA movement. The rest of the world will just have to cross our fingers and hope there's something at the end of it. I've been trying to go back in history and...
  7. Donald Trump The First - Indicted The Fourth

    Looking forward to the last second stay on the NY AG case to avoid the messy repercussions of trying to go after Trump's assets. Because optics > the law, I fear. Sounds like the judge in the hush-money payments case is pushing forward though, should be in April.
  8. The Biden Presidency

    As Calodo posted ahead of me, I'm not for the clause at all. But the framing of a certain section of social media (and the tweet itself) is deliberately making it sound like President Biden and the US Government passed an explicit bill on the matter. It did not, these clauses were part of...
  9. The Biden Presidency

    This is a beautiful summary of the GOP, it's just a performance targeted at fox News viewers: which makes sense, that's how these charlatans get paid.
  10. The Biden Presidency

    I mean, there are one or two other things in that bill too, but I guess even keeping the US government open now is framed through a single, gazan shaped lens. Anyone moaning about a bill that has to get through this house is just being deliberately ignorant or obtuse.
  11. Television 3 Body Problem

    Just finished the books ahead of this, one episode in and am very confused. This is a pretty liberal adaptation! As someone that hated everything Weiss and Benioff did post the SOAF books, am pretty worried. Then again, love everything Rian Johnson has done and he's somehow involved. Will keep...
  12. Donald Trump The First - Indicted The Fourth

    Further, even if he tried to use the value today to get someone to loan him the funds he needs now in exchange, almost any sensible person will recognise that a year from now those shares will be worth nothing. It's such a clear sham.
  13. 2024 U.S. Elections

    It's also true that most polls around this time in an election cycle end up being very close to polls at the time of the election. We're largely hoping the polls are wrong, if we're honest. I can see the argument both: a. They're wrong b. They're reflective of a Biden campaign that hasn't...
  14. The Conundrum Of That Third Midfield Role

    ETH wants to be like Pep and have 2 attacking midfielders, with 1 central one. But Pep can do that for three reasons: 1. City have a defensive line made to compress the pitch, so there are never spaces in midfield (and when they are, city look threatened) 2. City have Kyle Walker, who is kind...
  15. Scott McTominay | 2023/24 Performances

    This, you basically have to carry him for 90% of matches. If you want to lose your mind, watch the central part of the park for about 15 mins. What you'll see is the opposition bait McTominay into passionately closing down in an attempt to win a ball he's never going to win, then 2 passes later...
