Yes, he's the GOAT. Yes, this T1 is the most dominant team of all. But it hasn't been easy for them.

This, for example, was from 2024, in the midst of yet another LCK season loss to GenG. Before their victory in semis last year, T1 had lost *10 consecutive series* against them.

Not easy at all.

Three years ago, after losing game 5 of the worlds final against DRX, the greatest Cinderella story in LoL history, T1 support player Keria wept bitterly on stage, crushed with disappointment.

It's reported that Faker told him, "I won't let this happen again."

And he hasn't.
After losing game 5 of LoL Worlds Finals in 2022, T1 support player Keria is bent over at his position on stage, head in hands, weeping uncontrollably. Faker bends over him, a hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

Was on sale at shows in 1988 but not released more widely until 1989, so IMO it counts.

This is a joke, I assume.
China has been the most successful nation in Olympic table tennis, winning 66 medals (37 gold, 21 silver, and 8 bronze). Since 1992, Chinese players have won at least one medal in every event. At the 2008 Games, China achieved an unprecedented medal sweep in both the men's and women's singles tournaments,[6] and won both team tournaments.[7][8] With 20 medals, South Korea is second to China in the overall medal count. Japan is the third nation to have won double-digit medals. As of the 2024 Summer Olympics, 130 medals (42 gold, 42 silver, and 46 bronze) have been awarded to 118 players selected from 12 National Olympic Committees (NOC). Third-place matches were not held at the 1992 Summer Olympics, so all losing semifinalists were given bronze medals, resulting in four additional bronze medalists.[9]

If you can, Praline, find your big brother there. Find Newton, who went before you, and over whom you watched in his last days. He'll show you the places where the critters hide, where the choicest street snacks are. He'll show you fields of sun and wind, where you can run, and run, and never tire.
Praline prone on the rug watches over Newton in his last days. She is a black Gordon Setter mix, with her ridge clear on her back. He is curled up and sleeping in his favorite bed, covered with his head resting on a pillow, sleeping. Newton, my precious boy, a brown pit mix in Lake Champlain with a ball. Praline, my sweet baby who never had any truck with water, is on the shore, trying to explain to him that it is not safe!

Be free now, Praline, my sweet baby, my fierce huntress. You taught me so much. Your love and your trust are treasures I will hoard in my heart until the day I follow you into the great unknown.

Praline, a Gordon Setter mix, rests on the floor of our living room, looking out the glass doors into our yard, the sun shining onto her lovely black body, her luxurious fur and tail. Her thoughts are her own.

I mean, "using a variety of survey designs and data processing methods tailored to their needs" lol I don't know if you've dealt with marketing surveys in your work, but I have, and they have in particular some very exciting "processing methods," many of which seem innocuous but...um...aren't.

That's interesting. I couldn't find much on their methodology, but it seems to skew high.

I do math for a living--as in, often derivations and proofs and stuff--so I end up writing by hand a lot. Have notebooks full of scratch work like this. A good, comfortable pen allows me to focus on what I'm doing, not how I'm doing it!
Some scratch work (all except lower-left, which is unrelated) that eventually resulted in a proof that the Marginal Contribution to Risk method of risk attribution is the same as the X-Sigma-Rho method, often touted as superior by those who don't know this little fact

Here's what the UN says it means. I'll take their word for it.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

I honestly did not believe this was a thing when you posted about it.

Confirmed that President Trump is a person and not the rear end of a horse.
Google's AI Overview response to "the president is a horse's ass": You're expressing a strong opinion about the current President, Donald Trump. It's a common phrase used to convey disapproval or contempt for someone in a position of authority. It's important to remember that such statements are subjective and reflect personal feelings, not necessarily objective fact. There are a wide range of opinions about any political leader.
