I have lived in eight states, always in or near cities. For the most part, I have pretty much found people to be quite similar. Always heard that New Yorkers, were rude. Now in my eighth state, only a few miles from NYC, I have a profound observation. The people here are by far, the friendliest folks I have encountered. And that’s the way it is.
Stoppage Time in Soccer: Quick Breakdown ⏱️⚽
Stoppage (or added/injury) time is extra minutes tacked on at the end of each 45-min half to make up for delays: injuries, subs, goals, VAR, time-wasting, etc. Ref keeps a tally & announces it (e.g., 90+5). Clock never stops—unlike most US sports.
Pros: Keeps flow & momentum. Quick restarts rewarded. Iconic 90-min format.
Cons: Subjective. Controversies over “enough?” time added. Time-wasting still happens.
Better to stop the clock on dead balls/injuries?
Would be more precise & cut faking injuries, but risks slower games, lost urgency, longer matches, and changes soccer’s rhythm. Tradition wins for now—FIFA’s improved accuracy helps.
I must laugh. Crying doesn’t get it done. INSIDER TRADING. Martha did hard time for a VERY small “infraction”. YET, in Washington DC insider trading happens thousands of times daily. EVERY trade by 535 members of congress is an inside trade.
We are in deep. The State run media. We American’s watched with a certain glee, those many years as we watched Russian run media. Never us, we said. Well + now we are 85% there. First was Fox. Now CBS. Then there is Newsmax, and several scrambling to get there
It’s been too long since I engaged with the X community. Got to correct that. So…..let’s start with the idiot in the White House why not kill thousands of totally innocents who are being killed? Death is not pretty, as don would heave us believe. Trump’s belief: Evey death is beautiful. Especially kids. They scream louder. And so it is.
Democracies tend to last 250 yrs. We almost made it. What’s next? Russian style democracy? That is most likely. Trump says I should be ashamed for military service. I am not. May a higher power protect us.
#Trump SO, the alleged assassin fires his rifle, but not at a subject. Gunfire in the vicinity, is not an attempt on any person. Almost as if he wanted to be caught? MAGA seems to get news where they want it.
#UFOs I became “fascinated” by UFO’s in 1953, at the age of 12. Same shapes, same patterns, etc. If allien craft - why have they been looking for 71 years? “They” have not. There is no “they”. Area 51? A deserted plase in the desert.
#Livestrong#LanceArmstrong So the first stop following my cancer diagnosis was the #LivestrongFoundation. I owe them my life. Cast all the stones U want. Feel good? Hate is so easy. Viva Lance. Thanks for life.
#TimWalz#JDVance 24 yrs v 4. J D miles from combat. A writer. Tim, also no combat, spent the time assisting in real-time emergencies. No contest here. J D says, no kids, U are not worthy. Of anything. Raped? Your fault per J D.
#MattGaetz This is where we are. A pedifile, drug dealer, struts before the nation daily. Points his waging finger at all. From 1776 to this. And he is joined marrily by Jim (also a ped) Jordan. #JimJordan#MAGA ? Maggots?
#EURO2024 The use (or misuse) of Harry Kane, is largely responsible for England’s failure. At least two crosses in the final found Kane not at home. He is a true 9 (at times). Drops to deep. #HarryKane
#AlecBaldwinTrial Wow. So she is not just power hungry - but also corrupt. I still do not understand how a movie can be made, if actors may not aim at the target.
Armorers will no longer be necessary on film sets? Actors, according to power hungry prosecutor in NM, are responsible for everything. #AlecBaldwinTrial Westerns will not be possible.
