@smartbackwards Gotta include 1k, just because the concept of someone only getting multi kills and missing out on a cycle is funny

in baseball, a player hits for the cycle by getting a home run, triple, double and single in a game - we can extend that to CS by looking at multikills!
there were 34 cycles hit in CS2 big events. only three players had more than one instance: donk (2), NiKo (3) and ZywOo (4)

w0nderful got an ace, 4k, 3k and 2k on ancient - hitting for the cycle in Texas #BLASTPremier

@euphybird @StreyeX @MoDOT Because they're designed to be hit, and are placed behind areas where workers are to protect them?

@karlsasson @0live_rose15 It literally takes 7 minutes to drive from the Sabres arena to the Canadian border

@falcon6615 @AmusedToDeath1 Of course it's sold out, there are soccer fans in the US + international fans.
However, it's absolutely not the type of incredibly prestigious event that it would be in a country that cares about soccer. 90%+ of Americans couldn't name a single player on the national team

@AmusedToDeath1 why do you say they dont care? the whole thing is sold out

FIFA's problem was usually cities are lusting to host the world cup with fans lusting for the experience. NJ somehow got the cup but Americans don't really care and NJ's entire persona is, "fuck you, fuck your mother, I hope you die"
Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ
New Jersey is ready and excited to host eight FIFA World Cup matches this summer – including the World Cup Final. Since I took office, my Administration has been working to prepare for the biggest sporting event our state has ever seen – and today, NJ TRANSIT released their Mobility Plan to move 40,000 fans to and from each match safely and efficiently. In the FIFA World Cup agreement that my Administration inherited, FIFA put zero dollars towards transporting World Cup fans. It also eliminated parking at MetLife Stadium, putting the burden of transporting four times more matchday riders than typical for an event at the stadium on NJ TRANSIT. This agreement will cost NJ TRANSIT at least $48 million, while FIFA is positioned to make $11 billion during the World Cup. As I have said repeatedly, FIFA should cover the cost of transporting its fans. If it won’t, we will not be subsidizing World Cup ticket holders on the backs of New Jerseyans who rely on NJ TRANSIT every day.

@eldiablo1888 @Dan1763 @Colleenallreds The number of Americans who care about whether Bosnian soccer fans feel poorly done by on their vacation to the US is probably smaller than the population of Dayton, OH
English
@Dan1763 @Colleenallreds After everything Bosnia has been thru with wars and genocide, first time qualifying for a WC. Do you honestly think this is in anyway shape or form a good way to treat Bosnian football fans? Your country's reputation is already in the gutter, you slaughtered 165 schoolgirls ffs
English
All I can think about is how Chicago and Minneapolis saw the FIFA terms in 2018 and were like “lol naw we’re good.” What the must be thinking now…

@Itsjoeco @Colleenallreds if NYC is partnering, they can fork over half of $48M and drive down ticket prices

@MischiefCS2 Wouldn't it be fair to say that increasing the total number of LAN games provides higher quality overall data though? The tiebreaker being online games seems fine if teams have to be able to perform well, or play a lot, on LAN first.
English
For the Budapest major, LANW's and local LANs became significantly more important for the final rankings. However, its important to note that this has now essentially reversed.
There are currently 69 teams with >0.8 LANW, with over half having >0.95 LANW. Such that teams are practically tied.
This tie ends up being decided by teams' online results in cups and open qualifiers.
During this major run, alot of teams' fates were decided on LAN, but they could have been as equally decided online. With teams being capped out and equal on LANW, it ends up where Bounty Offered, Bounty Collected and Opponent Network become the difference makers.
There is no difference in weighting for these latter 3 components whether a tournament is offline / online, and often they are more plentiful online too.
Darius@Takkx_S
@MischiefCS2 This is great Online CS is plagued with matchfixing and cheaters. Thank god VRS prioritizes LANs

@__paleologo i’m just trying to understand why ferries are so dangerous
English
This is a scary statistics but it’s somewhat irrelevant. It needs to be conditioned by the distributions of miles traveled by a passenger in that vehicle. Most people ride motorcycles on weekends, less than 1,000mi/yr, and drive a car 20,000mi/yr.
Give a motorcycle a try.
Steve Stewart-Williams@SteveStuWill
“A motorcyclist who traveled 15 miles every day for a year had an astonishing 1 in 860 chance of dying. A person who took a 500 mile flight every day for a year would have a fatality risk of 1 in 85,000.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/love-blindne…

@aizyesque Is this accounting for the need to redefine what a tier 1 tournament is, since under the current definition, this could be trivially gamed?
English
16 is way too many. Realistically only NAVI and Vitality should be auto qualifies from the last few months. Everyone else should have to prove they're still good cause I don't trust any of them
My actual real solution is any team who wins a tier one trophy auto qualifies
hfUTD@hf_UTD
@aizyesque there just needs to be 16 auto qualifiers in EU through vrs and then the next 8 teams all play a double elim tournament for that last spot. you get the benefits of the vrs system giving you the best teams over a season while also getting that rmr feeling at the end

@LeeKurtiss @caesararum I'm not even agreeing with OP, I just think you're stupid for assuming it was Obamacare criticism when it wasn't.

i hope someone takes hospitals to court over this atrocious practice of having a signature pad that you have to sign on that doesn't give you the option of seeing the thing you're signing before you sign

@LeeKurtiss @caesararum You're stupid for jumping to Obamacare instead of HITECH

@caesararum You have to be astonishingly stupid to think that has anything to do with Obamacare instead of just how insurance companies operate

Look, if you're going to do it, do it properly(*)
1) it's "May it please Your Majesty" but at least they omitted "Dear" and didn't do "Dear the King" which is hideous
2) the ending should be
"We have the honour to be, Sir, Your Majesty's humble and obedient servants"
and yes that applies even though they're American
(*) technically invites should be addressed to the King's Private Secretary. But I like some spectacle!

@tc1415 @Shiv_who_burns @STRAP_Enjoyer Yes, etiquette in the 1700s differs substantially from the present day for most people.
English
@wcMerch @Shiv_who_burns @STRAP_Enjoyer Washington both ended his letters, those writing to him ended theirs, with "humble and obedient servant"
Not just Kings....
English
@Shiv_who_burns @STRAP_Enjoyer @tc1415 It's far ruder to me to expect that everyone must refer to themselves as servants of the king, but to each their own (at least until the monarchy is abolished, and no one has to refer to themselves as servants any more).
English
@wcMerch @STRAP_Enjoyer @tc1415 Sure. You can be rude if you want and show yourselves up as uncivil louts
English
@STRAP_Enjoyer @tc1415 Excluding countries with lèse-majesté laws, sure.
But in Britain, following etiquette for letters to the King would be important if you want a certain outcome. Since Britain is the junior partner to the US, that's not true for Americans

@cunha_tristan @arpitrage What counter party will be sending you the $76 billion after Bitcoin goes to zero?
English
@arpitrage You can effectively short bitcoin, so if you know it can br cracked, then you can easily make the value of the biggest wallet.
also, if someone suddenly transfers money from the satoshi wallet, without it being obvious who it is, then the value of bitcoin might actually go up
English
Only problem is if someone successfully hacks a bitcoin wallet through brute force, the value of all bitcoin goes to zero
Andrew Côté@Andercot
Six years ago it we thought it'd take 10 million qubits to break any Bitcoin public key. Four years ago it was 2 million qubits. 16 hours ago Google published a paper showing it can be done with 500,000 qubits in 20 minutes. Race is on. Top prize? $76 billion: Satoshi wallet

@randolphkwatson @aaron_renn @ElamBend Because it would require confessional action for additional exemptions, and DCA is at capacity so it would also require taking slots away from other flights.
English
@aaron_renn @ElamBend If it can happen once a day, like AUS to DCA, why can’t it happen more times?
I think we’re far past the point of testing whether Austin can grow into a big city.
English
Outside of the LGA perimeter (and DCA), which should make Austin pretty much a non-starter for any company that’s tied to New York.
Kumar🇺🇸@datarade
If you move your business to Austin or San Antonio, you doom your employees to multi-hop flights. If you move to Dallas, you reduce the odds of this.
