re: An estimated 4% of young British women are OnlyFans account creators

. Eighty-four per cent of those accounts are run by women, and if they are all (give or take) between the ages of 18 and 34, then we can estimate that just shy of 4 per cent of young British women are selling their wares on OnlyFans.
This is an estimate based off of a speculative hypothesis.

re: Chess: Who here plays it?
Posted by Tornado Alley on 6/9/25 at 9:47 am
I play a ton of chess.
I've never taken lessons, but there are many online learning formats and applications available, including one-on-one instruction. Chessable is a notable one, and they have content for beginners all the way through grandmasters. Youtube is also a great resource. GothamChess and ChessPage1 are good content creators he can learn from there. His school may have a chess club too, which will obviously be beneficial for him.
But the most important thing he can do if he is a true beginner is learn the rules and start playing.

This isn't even true. Kirk Ferentz has 9 more wins than Brian Kelly.
The only thing missing from Kirk Ferentz' resume is a national title, that's it, he's done everything else
Unlike Kelly, Ferentz has won a big time conference.
Ferentz hasn't won the B1G outright.
Kelly has had multiple undefeated regular seasons, played for a national championship, and made the playoff.
Kelly also wins many more games on average than Ferentz.
There's no comparison between the two.

ETA - But yeah, I think that's probably Kelly's worst loss at LSU.
Aggie played a damn near perfect game that night.
10/15 on third down and no turnovers. LSU's one turnover was a scoop n' score for Aggie.
Devon Achane was a monster that night too.

Notre Dame scored a touchdown to pull within 8.
The problem was they didn't have the ball with a chance to at least tie after around 5 minutes remaining in the 2nd quarter and they couldn't actually seem to stop Ohio State's offense, until Ohio State quit throwing the ball.
I'll give credit where it's due. After Notre Dame made it a one-score game with 4:15 to go in the game, Ohio State milked the clock and iced the game like a championship team should have done.

This is a myth, LSU would have had to beat Georgia to make the playoff that season, that wasn't happening.
LSU was #5 in the playoff poll when they got whipped by the 5-7 Aggies in 2022.
But carry on with your revisionist history. :lol:

It was never really close after the first quarter . . . except for when it was a one-score game in the fourth quarter. :lol:

Did Kelly lose to North Illinois (MAC conference), Marshall (Sunbelt conference) or a 3-9 Stanford team at Notre Dame?
Brian Kelly had some bad losses in his day too:
- 2011 loss to a 5-7 South Florida team in South Bend
- 2014 loss to a 5-7 Northwestern team in South Bend
- The entire 2016 season (losses to 5-7 Texas in Austin, 3-9 Michigan State in South Bend, 4-8 Duke in South Bend)
- 2022 loss to a 5-7 Texas A&M with the college football playoff on the line
Kelly's Fighting Irish also got walloped in some games against good teams or rivals too:
- 42-14 demolishing by Bama in the 2012 championship game
- 35-point whipping by rival Southern Cal in 2014
- 41-8 loss to Miami in 2017
- 30-3 loss to Clemson in the Playoff Cotton Bowl in 2018
- 31-point loss to rival MIchigan in 2019
The point is Kelly isn't that good, but what's also true is ND is in about the same position as he left them in.

They performed decently vs teams with non elite skill talent (especially in the passing game), and got dominated when they ran into someone that had that type of skill talent.
Notre Dame didn't get "dominated" all year, much less by Ohio State. The national championship game was a one-score game in the 4th quarter.

They got to sell something especially in the down periods for news. I will say this ND was not happy in how BK left with their team potentially making the playoff and they will never forget it. BK wanted more material support out of ND and it was not happening so he left for a place with potential and plenty of material resources. Time will tell who has the last word on this subject.
ND views Kelly's departure for Baton Rouge like Bama did Franchione's departure for College Station back in 03. They think they're too good to be left, too big of a program and brand.
That's not to say they're correct.
