Excellent from spurs !
I'm hoping for more consistency this season, but with son out, it's obvious they are lacking a natural finisher. I wonder how harry cane would have done with ange's style of play.
Man U were so bad. They need to get rid of Ten Hag, he's had 2 and a bit seasons (and squillions of pounds).

Dwight McNeil struck twice in the second half as Everton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 to end their winless start to the league season, just days after the Goodison Park takeover by a group led by American billionaire Dan Friedkin.
Excellent result for Everton !

Honestly, VR headsets are novelty items that you'll get bored of really quickly. I only ever use it when we have guests over that have never tried it. It's just another expensive thing that you'll never use.

Posted in: Japan navigating diplomatic repercussions over stance on death penalty See in context
In my experience living in Japan, (over 20 years and counting), I have found Japanese people to be lacking a little bit of empathy when it comes to how people who can no longer contribute to society live their final years. I was shocked the first time I heard "I wish she'd hurry up and die", because saying that about a family member in my country would be one of the worst things you could say.

I really hope spray doesn't mean ejaculate. But if that's what he did then there's no refuting the evidence.

Yes, Yokoyama was personally at fault. But there is also a culture of drinking to abandon in this country that is really problematic. I wonder if maybe the sober life is just one of so much “gaman” and arbitrary rules that the drunken mind goes wild.
Really?

Lovely weather here, very sunny but too hot as usual, lol
> Strange to think not far away there is awful weather, don’t you think?
Geographically speaking, Japan is a long country. Half of the typhoons take a path from the south west, hitting Okinawa, Kyushu, Osaka and then Tokyo.
Other times, they take a path from the south, like the current typhoon.
This is why you have nice weather, and I don't.

This is a distraction for the daily losses south of there by Ukraine. There is no release of pressure from what’s happening there for Ukraine, troops and equipment are being deployed from inside Russia to deal with it.
This is a distraction, but it's a distraction for Russia.
Putin now has to add cross-border attacks into the equation when considering troop deployment (something Russia didn't need to think about just 1 week ago).

Opening a new front in the north to take pressure off of the troops in the East was a good move.
