nostalgicar said:That’s how they do it. They’re going to win the Champions League without losing a single match, just like they did with their undefeated streak.
Look, you can actually win the Champions League without ever winning a single game. Seriously. You draw 0-0 at home, grab a 1-1 away, and boom—you're through. 😁
I don't get why people are still betting on Inter Milan. Porto is the real deal here. Even if they aren't quite as strong as last season since they're missing Dec in the midfield and don't have José Mourinho on the sidelines, I still think it’s going to be a close one.
Yeah, but you have to realize those numbers come from some theoretical sample, not an actual evacuation scenario. If you told a crowd packed into the Rose Bowl that there was a bomb and they needed to clear out calmly, you’d have a full-blown stampede on your hands within seconds.
What would they even have to clear out here? All 300 people watching would be out on the street instantly. And this thread needs to stay RIGHT here. Lowlifes will just try to move the conversation over to some news site or wherever. It was a football game, plain and simple, and those terrorists totally screwed Ex out of his parlay win.

It feels like we’re the only country left without decent high-speed flatrate internet...
Everyone is too busy looking at their own backyard. Besides, once things actually change—if they ever do—transfer speeds for everything, whether it's web traffic, burning media, or moving files between drives, will get so fast that smaller formats won't even matter anymore.
Look, I know people are still pinning all the blame on Netflix, but let's be real: those old-school DVD players that can actually handle .avi files? They don't have a leg to stand under any upcoming tech standards. DivX might stick around as a way to swap files, but even that’s looking shaky. If we don't get some kind of flat-rate deal soon, it’s honestly going to be cheaper to just grab a physical DVD from Blockbuster or borrow one from a buddy than to bother downloading movies from the internet.
Since we’re already talking about the DVD format, has anyone else noticed that the whole prediction about DivX becoming the "MP3 of movies" was a total bust? The cost of burning movies onto blank DVDs has dropped so much that using DivX isn't even cheaper or more practical anymore. 😁
Of course it’s a way better option. You won't even need DVDs anymore, unless you're talking about the originals. Everything you burn is just going to sit on a 200 GB HDD. Why bother with discs when you've got a drive like that?
Look, DVD burners aren't exactly breaking the bank anymore, but there's always a catch. Sure, you can find those new DVD burners with built-in hard drives that cost a premium, but they're leagues ahead of the cheap stuff. Honestly, why would anyone bother picking up one of those budget DVD-R drives right now when it's obvious they're basically dead on arrival?

Exactly. The guy makes people laugh and he gets a kick out of it. Who's anyone to strip that joy away from him just because people think they're "making fun of him"?
Sean Lee7 said:Yeah, like that time Aston Villa played a random US minor league team and some guy on Eurosport goes, "This has to be the ugliest player I've ever seen." 🤣
K***c isn't it. The guy is completely washed. Like some kind of flamboyant version of Bruno, he headed straight to the most conservative corner of the US—Alabama—just to poke the bears and provoke those ultra-right-wing types. But he really proved he’s a top-tier actor by basically morphing into Borat. He was playing the part of Borat visiting some wine tasting event deep in Alabama, and he ended up getting absolutely hammered. His producer, who’s worked with him enough to know how volatile he can be, was actually terrified the guy was going to snap and break character. But once he passed out drunk, he woke up the next morning shouting "more wine !". He even claims he doesn't believe he actually became Borat because he has zero memory of it. 😁 😁 😁

They had no clue. He looked human. Just because they have lightning-fast processors inside doesn't mean they instantly realize who's a machine and who isn't.😁
