People don’t hate datacenters being built near them, they hate *anything* being built near them. The median position is never build anything

Big #F1 news - Adrian Newey to become Aston Martin team principal!
Could go either way - some technical leaders discover they have a hidden management genius within them. For others, the difference between a top team leader and a top tech leader rapidly become clear.

Why can you never fix the blame on good C programmers?
Because they always know how to point to another memory!

Evidence that PGMOL/VAR interpretation of offside rule clearly varies from one week to next
When will PGMOL be held to account other than Howard occasional TV appearances to explain away poor decisions?
PGMOL’s mistakes are what is harming attitudes to refs, not behaviour of managers or players

There's absolutely no doubt that Ndoye was in an offside position. VAR presumably satisfied he wasn't interfering / in line of sight.
Do I understand this compared to the #lfc disallowed goal against Man City? Not really.
