Hat trick! Nice!

I was so getting ready to make jokes about England not deserving a place in the 6N at halftime. Ah well.

I’m realizing I am much more confident in what a reasonable score prediction for a gridiron game looks like than I am for a rugby game. This should be fun

Hello, Is me. Other person being poked.

I’d be down.

Are we just going to get a “new” article on this every week now?

Didn’t click, but just the headline is not wrong. As someone from a T2 nation, the matchup we are getting AGAIN is just about the least interesting one we could have realistically gotten for those of us not from SA or NZ

No, ghostwriting is not plagiarism. Done correctly, there is nothing wrong with it. Hard to argue this professor did it correctly

Yeah, it’s too bad. Every QF was electric, which is great, but It really feels like France and Ireland should be in the semis

Dayum! that could be a contender for try of the tournament

The boys went out with some of the Gala players afterwards and they dressed our player up in a Gala kit.

Nice. Exactly what you want to hear

The Stanley Cup (North American hockey trophy) has a full-time caretaker who travels with it. Every member of the winning team gets some time with it. They can show it off in their home town, eat their breakfast cereal out of it, whatever. It’s probably seen a lot of white powder. But this guy is always there to take care of it. And to wash it. Often multiple times per day.

They recognized the consequences of sending the trophy traveling like they do, and instead of switching to a replica or something they got it a bodyguard.

These kind of trophies that travel are the best. So much more interesting than the ones that sit in display cases all the time. But you have to either dump resources into protecting it or be willing to replace/repair when necessary.

Would like to see them break the quarterfinal curse

What a game.

Well, so far it seems the bomb squad is bombing. Gotta respect someone living up to their name.

SA can’t seem to hold onto the ball. Great job by Ireland finding a way through on a very stout defense

Comparing high-energy events, especially ones that cause destruction, to weapons that have been used is very common, not just in “murica”

The lack of specificity as to what kind of atomic bomb is silly, though.

I’m a noob, but often what drives up lens cost is the complexity associated with making the image better over the whole field of view. Lenses have various inherent errors (called aberrations) that are corrected by a combination of complex surface profiles on individual lens elements and stacking multiple individual lens elements to cancel each other’s errors out. A scope likely only needs good correction near the center, where the user will be looking most of the time, while a camera lens needs good correction everywhere so the whole photo looks good when you view it later. Wider field of view makes good correction much more complicated and expensive very fast.

I have yet to see one of these comments with chatGPT summaries of articles that actually adds any value. Usually they are wrong or misleading. Sometimes they are just as long if not longer than the original article. This one, for example, summarizes the article that OP basically already summarized in the post description.

ChatGPT has its uses. This ain’t one of them.

Largest to smallest is way more logical than smallest to largest. You start general and get more specific as you progress. It is in general a better approach to conveying information and cataloging data. Not just dates.
