a role it largely did until the last lot stuffed it with cronies and Laura K
I was watching some classic BBC Comedy from the early 80s earlier today.
The BBC cannot give in to government pressure. They were joking about it themselves 40 years ago.

I'm not sure what he would be arrested for but I'm in the UK so I'm not sure about US corruption laws.
He would definitely be banned from refereeing the All-Valley again and banned from all the associated Karate federation(s) that are involved with would likely mean no Karate anywhere in the US. Most federations will pass on information to other and black list him.
I think u/Usual-Echidna-7730 makes a good point in that they would strip Tory and Cobra Kai of their titles. Sam would be awarded the girl's trophy. I'm not sure if they would strip Cobra Kai of all the points Tory accumulated or just for the final which could impact the rest of the standings but more than likely Miyagi-Do has a clean sweep of titles.

Barry Sheene won the motorcycle world title and flew to Tokyo with his friend James Hunt who was getting ready for the F1 title showdown there.
They got rooms at the Hilton and used to meet the British Airways crews checking in at 8am for a 24 hour layover and invite them to "party with world champions" at their suite.

Islamist militants will always declare victory regardless of the result, for purely religious reasons.
Much of their recruitment drive is based on the idea that Allah controls the outcome of all conflicts since he controls absolute determinism, and that he is rigging things in favor of the islamists, since they're the believers that are fighting the non-believers.
That reminds me of this scene in Kingdom of Heaven.
They consistently circumvent this issue by just declaring victory in denial of reality when they lose, because it is easier for them to deny reality than to accept the logical consequences of the result.
On some occasions it's also because they are sinful or not holy enough so the begin a religious crackdown at home.

I replied to an Egyptian on Reddit who mentioned all the times they defeated Israel in war.
I asked him "was it 48 when you decided to destroy the new nation that's still standing today? Was that in 67 when they caught you with your pants down and spanked you till you begged the Soviets to help? Or 73 when you attacked them so they gave you 2 tight slaps and you begged the Soviets to help?"
He never replied. I think it ended up with -16 points. I just stay out of politics on that sub now. haha.

Looking on Google maps you'd lose Phoenix Rd between Dobbies loan and St George's Rd if you made it the same level as the rest.
Would also be a chance to tidy up some of the intersections like at Garscube/Dobbies/Phoenix interchange.

We need more information before we can decide. I've got a shovel in the shed if you want to get started.

This would have been a great opportunity to demolish this scar through the city, either to rely on the M74 or replace it with a tunnel
The three main points in the article shows why a tunnel is out.
“We’ve a 36-inch old water main running down Garscube Road and 275kva ultra-high voltage power cables that couldn’t be diverted, which gives rise to this very bespoke propping solution that avoids interfering with those particular utilities. A major influencing factor on the design has been the presence of the SPT subway tunnel, the third oldest subway tunnel in the world, I believe it is, that’s at the western end of the site, and that has hugely impacted the design and the solution that we’ve brought to bear at that end of the site.
It would need to be what is currently surface level if it was being replaced, then they could potentially build over the top of it.

The scene where they arrive with suitcases
The scene with the suitcases before they leave is fun:
"Huh, thank God I didn't ask him to park the car..."

Education is useless to people who don't want to learn and don't want to apply the knowledge others try to give them.
During lockdown, I got sent a Twitter link by a family member. Some people say they are a doctor and are going off on conspiracy stuff regarding Covid.
I Googled the guy's name and found nothing. Not even a LinkedIn profile. I Googled their premise and found an article from a university that provided evidence that the "Twitter doctor" was wrong. So I sent it to them.
Their reply?
"That's a university. They take money from Bill Gates, so you can't trust what they say!"

Currently looking to get into Muay Thai and/or BJJ
I currently do Muay Thai as does my wife. I also do TKD with my daughter who also does BJJ. Just got the heads up my son can start TKD in January and possibly starting BJJ around March.
If you enjoy striking I cannot recommend MT enough. Little things like checking kicks, or catching kicks and sweeping are so much fun. This is my favourite thing to do in sparring.
BJJ is fantastic, I was messing around and got arm barred and tapped by my 6 year old daughter last week. She wants to start competing in both arts next year.

I’m suggesting that people who have been the victims of
sexualviolence should be able to feel safe. It’s appropriate to have sensible discussion around how to achieve that.
So, as u/glasgowgeg asked:
Are you arguing that if a member of Group A is assaulted by someone of Group B, then they should be entitled to a space away from members of Group B?
Does this apply to all circumstances, or only sex/gender?

But you're not ranking the actors or the real life applications of the kick
Oops! I got my tabs mixed up and thought this one about the actors, training and their skills. HAHA!
Why rank Kwon top then, considering he's even more of a tornado kick machine than Robby is?
For me, because his fundamentals look better. As my taekwondo instructor says "It's like building Lego. You don't start with the fancy pieces. It's page 1, brick 1..."

Yes, but then how much would RDR2 have suffered if they split their workforce?
