That's a tricky one on authority. Most VAR implementations still leave authority with the ref and allow referees to request something to be checked. I can imagine the overruling aspect may be a bit of a problem on the game.
Sorry I can't get to the link, network is down. I need to edit text files to get it going so in the mean time I asked someone to download a copy and send it to me via carrier pigeon. Thanks though you have been a real help.
And since you fundamentally missed my point I feel obligated to now state obvious things: The above was sarcasm.
And the point STILL STANDS. "Easy to find" would imply a simple google search for "ExxonMobil renewable investments" will yield results. What's that? The top story is something about a billion dollar investment in research into synthetic fuels grown by algae?
Still desperately clasping on to the one worst case you can find? Try changing the company name. Visit some of their websites while you're at it. The one I mentioned first literally has websites dedicated to wind and solar listed under "Alternate Energy" immediately next to the menu options for Downstream and Upstream.
I suppose your next complaint is that their website has a picture of an oil platform on the front page so they must be "hiding" things?
PS is really going to have to redo their engine....Affinity on desktop is often faster
I agree with your post in general, but this one is confusing. Why is this a criteria for you? I personally use software far slower than Photoshop when I need to extract the maximum image quality. Speed is something that is important on a workflow level, but for Photoshop hasn't been relevant since.... well for ever.
I know the main reason I run a free OS is so that I can take advantage of all of the proprietary software.
You know a lot of people couldn't give a shit about free as in beer or free as in... whatever the other one was called. Some of us actually use Linux because it's a technically great OS and would have no problem with it being closed source and paying for it.
Really? You go to a 90 minute game, 120 minute if you're drawn in a knockout round, potentially longer if you're in penalties, and you're worried about the less than 1 minuted the VAR adds to the sport?
Want your minute back, penalise players who argue with the referrer, or worse, that despicable behavior of intimidating the ref in groups (Columbia looking at you!). Penalise players who roll around so much that the medical team can't even get to him, everyone knows who I'm talking about here.
VAR finally brings some much needed finality to a decision on a sport by a referee who spends more time running on the field than many players do and by his nature can't see it all, even with the several other assistant referees.
However, it would be MUCH improved if the lame offside rule were removed./quote?
No it would be a fundamentally different game if offside rules were removed. You should try playing at social clubs sometime. There's a wide variety out there with many rules across both indoor and outdoor. There is nothing "improved" by removing offside rules. You just end up playing a completely different game with different strategies, player positioning, and the result is very different to watch too often turning into a lobbing game.
The Referees can have good or bad games, it's part of the sport because they are participants too, we should not relegate them to being robots or defer to an off-pitch panel of judges.
NO. They most definitely should be relegated to being robots. The only reason it wasn't always like that is because we didn't have video when we invented spherical things soft enough to kick. Refs are not part of the game, they were only there due to the limitations of technology at the time and a game definitely should not be decided on if the ref is having a bad day.
According to the article a 2minute wait on a 90minute game which may run into 120 minutes or longer like many of the world cup games have. Think about the 2 minutes. OMG SLOW!
Congratulations. You picked the one oil company that is widely known as *the worst*. In the meantime a British oil company is also one of the top wind producers in the USA. A French oil company is a major investor in solar power. A Dutch oil major was one of the first to jump up and put electric car chargers in around the place, something others are majorly following up. Before China ate the industry the oil industry were the biggest suppliers of solar panels in the world.
Not Exxon though, they are dicks being sued by their shareholders about climate change.
This seems rather meaningless as Ireland divesting does nothing to the companies if someone else is willing to buy Ireland's holdings.
Yes. If. On the other hand there are more and more projects in fossil fuels struggling to get funding and investment, so your conclusion isn't foregone.
It's worse if this means that Ireland will see a lower return as a result.

But if she was in a car wreck and in danger of dying, I for one wouldn't hesitate a split-second about saving her, no matter what I think of her politics or relationship with the truth.
This is consistent. The GP said to help other people first. Prioritse the humans. If I see Sarah Sanders in an car wreck with a tree I would save her in a second. If I see her in a car wreck with a serial rapist who punched his own grandma then I would probably take a minute or two to assess the situation.
No they come from different experiences in life. Incidentally there's a big correlation between not being a white male and having a different experience in life from white males.
Yeah Notepad that great application which you need to use once in a blue moon and then invariably realise the file you're opening doesn't have the right line endings.
This change will make notepad useful instead of that muscle reaction accident that you repeat over and over again before opening wordpad.
Notepad++ is majorly behind in functionality. Whenever I go to a computer I don't normally use or administer I can't even find the executable. Useless!
They are 'updating' the Notepad application to include hooks to their advertising framework.
You're another one of those people who looked at a youtube video and made your tinfoil hat out of aluminium right? That was wrong. They need to be made out of tin to keep the government out of your brain.

And yes, indeed, GIMP is a viable alternative.
You've either never used GIMP or never used Photoshop. ... Or never used either.

Before you make that claim, list the downsides or failures. As far as I can see it has been nothing but an improvement.

Are you suggesting we waste 1.75mm on functionality? What a preposterous statement. This is 2018, not 2008!
I thought the constitution didn't apply within 100miles of an airport or border.
The best thing people can do is not fly and let the airlines fall apart.
Why? It's not the airlines groping me. Flying is a perfectly fine experience in most of the world.

I was in Manchester recently and saw a park with a sign that literally said men weren't allowed in to it without a child present.
Sounds like that would achieve the opposite of what was intended.

A modern minimalistic graphical text editor should be able to:
Support color schemes or at least allow to edit background/text colors.
Okay fail. A modern minimalistic graphical text editor should display text, give the option of word wrap, and have a search.
What you're describing is some personal wish list for a more advanced text editor to suit your use case.

I don't think I've heard the term Macintosh for 15 years, so I think they understand it quite well.
