Em 2006, a diferença de qualidade e maturidade no meio de campo foi gritante.

Makelele, Viera, Zidane

Juninho, Gilberto Silva, Ze Roberto

A grande maioria da imprensa brasileira é torcedora, contadora de estória.

@chrisgpt That’s like saying:

It took mankind millennia to invent the wheel. My 5-year-old builds one in 5 minutes following the Lego building instructions.

"Margin credit in the US reached another new peak in Q3 2025," Whalen notes. "While rising margin debt can reflect investor confidence, we see it as a warning sign of excess speculation, potentially increasing market risk for depositories.

Long before LaTeX, most mathematical theses relied on hand-inserted symbols.
But in 1968, Dennis Ritchie - creator of C - typeset his entire thesis, subscripts and all, with astonishing accuracy.

@_mattschoen_ NBA is *by far* the best.

Highest skill-level improvement, consistent new talent, international expansion, and games down to the wire.

MLB is played by old fat men. NHL is ballet. NFL is OK, but the steroid overuse makes it a circus.
