Given the 3rd major final between them, I was curious to see their glad slam track records over time.
In the results section, the value is the round they reached, and their last opponent.
Some stats:
- In the 7 out of his last 8 slams (all in 2024-2025), Sinner only lost to Alcaraz or won the tournament (exception: 2024 Wimbledon, QF to Medvedev).
- They won 9 out of 10 last slams (exception: 2023 US Open, Djokovic)
- This will be their 3rd major final facing each other in a row.

Hi, me and my friend are noobs in FC. We only played FIFA on PC in 2000s and 2010s (a lot) :)
So we got an XBox and 2 controllers, and want to play against each other, but also add some competitive angle to it. So we'd prefer not just playing individual games, but have some tournament structure to it (cup or league). The goal is to keep track of our performance against each other, and have some overarching story to our games.
What are some good formats for that in FC24? Thanks in advance.

I created a combined spreadsheet of all Candidates participants since 2013 (that was the first tournament in the current format). Link to the spreadsheet.
The list is sorted by:
- number of wins
- number of points (1st place: 10 points, 2nd: 7, 3rd: 6, ... 8th: 1)
- number of appearances (lower is better)
- best rank
Winners are marked with yellow, current participants in 2024 tournament - with grey. Ding's 2nd place in 2022 is marked with orange, since he still qualified for the world championship.
Fun facts:
- The winners were either first-time participants in this format (Carlsen

The logic in this post is applicable to any pair of overlapping funds. But for simplicity let's consider a common scenario: you want to invest in the total market, but also want additional exposure to tech. So you pick VTI and QQQM (I have a recent post arguing why QQQM might be the best choice for a tech fund). Now how to calculate target allocation, considering the funds are overlapping?
Here is a potential solution. First, you can use ETF Research Center website to calculate the overlap between the two funds by weight. In our case, it's 40% (see "O

So let's say you want to invest in a tech ETF because you believe in long term outperformance of tech over total market VOO/VTI. But which fund to choose?
QQQM (which is same as QQQ with lower expense ratio): tracks Top-100 Nasdaq companies. Nasdaq is commonly associated with tech, but the index technically just tracks the biggest companies listed on Nasdaq. Yes, most tech companies list there, but there are exceptions: QQQ has Costco, PepsiCo, Starbucks, Mondelez. And it doesn't have Salesforce, Abbott, Oracle, IBM, that could be considered tech companies.
XLK/VGT/FTEC: they track top companies in the technology sector of US economy. But let's dig deeper, what exactly is technol

Hi, I'm trying to create a monthly recurring task that should be scheduled on the 1st of each month. But today is Jan 9, and I want the first instance to be scheduled for January. So I want:
- first instance is scheduled for today (Jan 9)
- second instance is scheduled for Feb 1
- third instance - for Mar 1, etc.
How do I do that?

Went to Hadestown day show today to see Eva Noblezada's one of the last performances. She was incredible, until in the second act she was replaced by another actress, who wasn't nearly as good. Is there a way to know the cast of a specific performance in advance, so that I can make sure to see the cast that I pay to see?

Angelo has much more diverse and unique acting style that makes me feel like he's not human. And his voice is just better at every level: on high notes it's more velvet, while during low notes it's much more shrill.
Everyone vastly prefers Garou for some reason. I don't have any other explanation than people just saw him live first, so they are biased (just like myself). But I do believe that Angelo is much better in each aspect of the performance.
Source: just watched Notre Dame de Paris in NYC with Angelo performing live, and then watched Garou's parts on Youtube.

Have you ever experienced a state of creativity where your mind is flooded with countless ideas? It's different from the flow state where you're fully engrossed in something. The state of creativity is more like a scattered attention, but it can be a great source of inspiration and new ideas.
Personally, I find myself in this state during long flights, walks, and even meditation. Sometimes, it happens when I accidentally wake up in the middle of the night. My brain seems to relax and connect to a source of ideas that come flooding in. I only have time to write them down before they disappear.
However, I find it challenging to enter this state living in a big city due to the constant dist

Hi, I'm planning to attend UFC 288 (Sterling vs Cejudo) in Newark on May 6. I'm by myself (35M), so looking for someone to go together with.
The presale starts tomorrow (Mar 16) at 10 am ET, so we should get tickets at the same time.

A chain is a list of fighters, in which each adjacent pair had a fight.
Example: a chain between Khabib and Jon Jones:
Khabib - Poirier - Pettis - Wonderboy - Whittaker - Adesanya - Jan - Reyes - Jon Jones
- Can you form a chain between the last HW champion (Ngannou) and the current Flyweight champion (Moreno)?
- What is a minimal chain that includes, arguably, 5 GOATs (at least by # of title defenses: Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, GSP, DJ, Aldo) plus Fedor?
