People that measure distances in "ft".

I can live with feet for heights (of people). I can deal with yards (because it's pretty much the same as metres),, but feet is just wrong for distances.

Do the club have staff outside the turnstiles? Kind of like if you go to a gig, there will be a handful of staff members telling you to get your tickets/bags etc. ready for inspection. I always find that acts as a bit of a reminder to people to get themselves ready. It also helps people who are confused as they can ask for help away from the turnstile itself.

Only the ones doing searches.

Clearly Musk is a huge bellend, but are people here trying to imply that SpaceX don’t know what they’re doing?

I like that Musk wasn't even present for this launch. He's leaving things to the engineers. I just wish the presenters wouldn't mislead people. You could see the fuel leak, both in the video stream and buy watching the graphic showing fuel levels. It was spinning throughout all the ballistic tests (you could see the shadows spinning around in the internal views. The same graphic showed that it was in wrong orientation (and spinning) during re-entry.

I think the engineers will consider the mission a success within their rapid prototyping methodology. It's all the marketing bollocks that annoys me.

Should I add some more tiers?

Well, it go kaboom eventually, but it seems to have mostly worked well prior to that. And the board footage (especially during re-entry) was astonishing.

The booster failed to restart it's engines (again) and crashed into the sea at 2-3 times the speed of sound.

Starship developed a fuel leak shortly after separation and this caused an uncontrolled spin throughout the ballistic portion. Entry was completely uncontrolled and this led to some pretty colours as parts of the ship which weren't supposed to be exposed to atmospheric friction burnt up.

It was pretty much the most minimal improvement possible compared to the last launch, but the marketing spin is going well.

For the mobile wallet, you get your phone out, you unlock it, you open the thing on the phone where the ticket is, you open the ticket, you show it at the turnstile.

You get out your phone, look at it to unlock, tap the notification for the match ticket and hold the back of your phone to the reader. The gate clunks.

You can do it in a couple of seconds even while holding your bottle of pop with the lid hidden in your coat.

ANY discrimination is wrong. It can only lead to bad things. People should be treated equally.

How would you, as a business owner, quantify that you are treating people equally?

What if when quantifying this, you discovered that your business has not been treating people equally? How would you rectify this?

If we beat Lille, then which of our PL games would get re-arranged for the semi final?

Semis are 2nd and 9th May. So Brighton away and Liverpool at home.

Him getting the loans/bonds from Saudi Arabia would make him compromised / a security threat in the eyes of the CIA right?

This particular bond would be for Trump Org, not Trump personally. He pretended the two things were different and separate during his presidency. He lied (obviously), while all meetings with foreign dignitaries has to take place it his venues and money / gifts / trade deals were given to other members of the crime family.

I'm hoping this gets bigger and bigger with trump. I think there will be multiple unknown loans or bonds against many assets which may come out. The other side worse case could be a secret loan from Putin

It will. He's still defaming E Jean Carroll. I suspect that will put off anyone wanting to lend money to someone with a record of not paying his debts.

Which is true in an ideal world. But in such large organisations, where your boss is getting hammered on quotas do you not think some people might just be looking out for themselves. And how does it work with one female and one black male. Is there some hierarchy.

Whichever quota you are most deficient in.

Thanks for your time

It's probably a bug, but not worth escalating it unless we can reproduce it. I'll keep an eye open.

Wow - Never noticed an author being misassigned like that. Is it a split second timing thing?

Aware that it's happened when you've done maintenance previously.

Sorry, I'd completely misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were commenting on the "last post" on the index not matching the most recent post in the forum.

You didn't mention posters and the subject doesn't help

I' e been trying to reproduce it since I realised and I can't even though the match thread is so fast moving.

Did you try clearing cookies and cache in case it's just something cached in your browser?

Hello to all Aston Villa fans.

I have been a supporter of Lille OSC for decades now, and it is with great pleasure that we will participate in the first European quarter-final in our history...

For this event, there is an opponent that we did not want to meet , Aston Villa. Because you are the huge favorite in this competition.

We would have preferred to meet you in the final.

In short, fate wanted it to be in shift. So be it.

We have our chances, and I believe that we will (and must) play hard in both matches. Our coach Paulo Fonseca likes European competitions, the group wants to do well...

Our strengths are our game based on possession of the ball, a certain technical ease with good technicians (Yazici, Haraldsson, Cabella), dribbling wingers and fast (Zegrova, Ounas), our best player and scorer, Jonathan David who will surely play next year in the Premier League. Two experienced defensive midfielders (André and Bentaleb), and a fairly interesting defense with a fairly solid hinge (Alexandro, Yoro our young nugget and Diakité), and good wingers like the young Tiago Santos, Ismaily or our Swede Gudmonsson.

Not to mention our excellent goalkeeper from our training center, Lucas Chevalier (French hopeful team, and who will one day have the position with the A)

In any case it is with great respect and great pleasure that we will play your impressive team.

Sports friendships and good luck in your race for the Champions League!

PS: a kiss to our Lucas Digne!!
