Good grief. He can't even make that gesture without looking like a dweeb.

So do many hardcore evangelical conservatives. If they can instigate enough conflict in the Middle East they believe it will force Jesus to come down from his cloud and usher in Armageddon. I wish I was kidding.

Good luck, mate.

They could have added a pause button at least.

Don't remember ever seeing such a big spread in one of these. 8 so the way down to 1.5.

Hopefully Arteta never plays Partey at right back again.

Zorin is a good transition point from Windows to Linux, since it's an easy distro to install and it's pretty Windows-like from a UX perspective.

Here's a more general recommendation: start off by installing a VM platform (VirtualBox or similar) on your Windows system and spinning up a few VMs, each one with a different beginner-friendly distro on it (Zorin, Mint, etc). That way you can play around with them, get more comfortable, and choose the one you like best, before you go all in.

So that's where all the new jobs are going to come from after the economy goes to shit because of climate change, oligarch hubris, etc.!

They are going to pay the unemployed people pennies an hour to humiliate themselves by dressing as robots and doing all sorts of menial tasks for them. It's going to be like Sleeper meets Gone With The Wind.

(I'm joking at this point, but this could make a good plot for a dark sci-fi comedy.)

I'm kind of surprised more people aren't unhappy with their Tesla's because of the poor build quality. I know they go through patches where the build quality improves and is okay. But there have been so many recalls and problems in general with Teslas. Even aside from Musk being a toxic, loud piece of shit, his company's cars are overall just not worth the trouble. And that's not even bringing up the fact that the cyber truck looks like it was designed by a 6 year old on a 386 PC's CAD program.

Good call going with another Highlander. Musk's stupid, shitty antics have resulted in your getting a superior car.

No, it's the one where you fuck your grandmother because the man you thought was your grandfather was an in-the-closet homosexual. Then you produce your father, who then produces you. But you've got to travel 1,000 years into the future and hook up with a hot but socially awkward cyclops mutant before you can do any of that.

If we could find another Trossard like player I'd be happy.

We did get that corner decision against the shit.

But yeah, more luck than just that works be nice.

Also, Mikel needs to stop playing Partey at right back. He's inconsistent enough at defensive mid. At fullback he doesn't have the pace to recover from the mistakes he makes.

A brief history of how Jover and Arteta met and how he came to join the Arsenal coaching staff. And some great stats and visuals on his impact.

 

Pour one out for John Ssenyonga - a fellow gooner who was killed in Uganda celebrating our win over Manchester United. RIP John.

 

Tomas Rosicky and Per Mertesacker are the two names mentioned.

Per seems like a natural choice given the fantastic job he's done with our academy. Tomas seems a bit more of an unknown, but apparently talks with him are already underway.

 

Saka has been named one of the Standard’s 100 people shaping the capital and deservedly stands shoulder to shoulder with the other 99
