Tilos in Greece is attempting something similar for the Med with the added challenge of needing a system that scales 4X in the summer (albeit when solar resource is more abundant), primarily solved through interties to larger islands, allowing outsize battery storage and export of surplus.

I just rewatched the first and am confirmed personally in my view that the goal was ultimately stemming from Danso giving the ball away right to feet under no pressure, leading to the open field rush down their left

I don't yet know what to think about Simons, but Luka Modric is only a few kilos heavier and he turned out okay (wrt "inherent physical limitations")

What you have is a romantic abnormality so bizarre...

My Grandma had a huge crush on him back in the 80s

Salah's season also papered over any flaws. 47 goal involvements in 38 games. A season for the ages.

I do wonder if Jota's death unsettled the team more than they say. This is weird.

To me it is almost a cartel: if nobody provides smaller vehicles (like, say, the Toyota Matrix), then you have no choice but to buy the SUV (which increases profit). If there is nothing between a Civic and a CRX, you are stuck.

I wonder if we will see any recalls in January? I disagree with you about loaning Vuscovic/Moore, but think we should have kept Donley or Devine
U20 top tier prospects/players on our books:
Bergvall (19)
Gray (19)
Yang (19)
Moore (18)
Melia (18)
Vuscovic (18)
Williams-Barnett (17)
Missing any?

Given what the Liverpool fanbase is like the last few weeks, you could lump them in.
"Poor recruitment"
"Manager doesn't know how to use his players"

For me definitely in the PL era (previous best was Carr)

Yes but he hasn't absorbed a new piece of information since 1988, so....

Doug Ford grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and no oneโ€™s ever told him no โ€” the corruption just doesnโ€™t stop! Hereโ€™s what happened today:

Did he?

Ottawa is called "The City That Fun Forgot" and I have lived in both for 8+ years and had so much fricking fun, so I want to turn these labels back on people and say "What is wrong with YOU?"

This is just stupid and not worth paying attention to.

Done!

I am sad by the Georgian government's decline into a pro-Russia vassal state, as the people are amazing.

If it doesn't get built, federal government looks good still because then they can argue that the market doesn't want it. Big upside to me, because AB using this as a stick to beat Canada with. Cannot do that now

Doug Ford not showing up to answer my questions?

Yeah, you can set your watch by that one.

I was working and watching on my phone with sound off in the second half! Most of the players looked alike to me!

I dislike that logo so much. I thought you were at a Flames game
