Looking for data scientists to join our team and work on exciting sports stuff at Stats Perform. Two roles - FTE requiring 3+ years of prof exp, and 6 month long internships. Typical DS skills needed esp. strong Python skills. Remote in India / BLR. DM me, if interested!

The real debate should be whether other sports should introduce draws, not whether footy should get rid of them.

Strong Harrison Jones - Jamie Elliott vibes

I'm interested to see how long it takes for Australia to come around to Denmark's position. Imagine forcing 12-17yo children to be double-vaccinated in order to attend a public place, when there was never a net health benefit for them. That was the law up until a few months ago.

So Twitter in its infinite corporate wisdom locked my account. I won't be engaging here any more. Enjoy the hellsite and see you elsewhere
