  1. I mean let’s be fair to FIFA here - no one really cares about this tournament. I mean people are watching for Wolrd Cup tickets like hawks and would sell a kidney to go. This tournament just doesn’t have the juice. It might one day, but until then we’re going to get these attendance numbers.

    For those of you not in the Austin area, Waymo is all over west campus and up and down Lamar.  I used to see 1-2 per day but it's now up to 7-10 per day.  A few days ago, I was stopped at a light on 29th st behind two Waymos, and a Waymo passed us going the other direction.  Unlike human drivers in Austin, the Waymo goes when the light turns green because the robot is not doing the Wordle while waiting at the red light.

    The hell? Who does Wordle at a red light? If you're not doing it while driving, you're doing it wrong. Just like Snake in the old days.

    Has Stellan Skarsgaard (best name ever) always played such a perfect heavy? I feel like I've been missing this actor

     

    I went back and read this thread - I did want to touch back on this one - RONIN. IYKYK. Skarsgaard , DeNiro, 3 Bond villains, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Katarina Witt (both in their prime) and one of the two best car chase scenes ever committed to film (French Connection).

    even if you can squint and kind of see what he’s getting at, it’s still not even relevant or accurate. the issue with this team isn’t that it’s diverse, it’s that the USSF is a corrupt, incompetent entity that’s never had a real desire to build a competitive national team with all of the talent that we have and can acquire. period. we are nowhere close to being a serious soccer nation. from top to bottom, from infrastructure to nepotistic/buddy-buddy coaching hires, to how shambolic the MLS is as a professional league, we don’t take the sport seriously. our players being from different places has nothing to do with it, at all.

    alexis is just a fuck face trumptard racist who’s taking yet another opportunity to show his ass and get attention all so that he can stroke his massively overinflated ego when everyone else in the world disagrees with him (in his mind our disagreement is his vindication). he’s white jason whitlock, nothing more.

     

    Jason Whitlock isn't white?

    wtf costs a billion a month?

     

    Elon's drug habit?

    But seriously - given how he throws money around, them burning through that kind of cash is not that crazy. I mean that crazy big data center powered by portable generators. The fact that he probably is paying the hell out of his team, even if they are substandard (see Meta offering $100 Million to Open AI employees)
    https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/sam-altman-says-meta-offered-013520184.html

     

    Them lighting cash on fire wouldn't shock me in the least.

    Why are Chelsea and LAFC playing at 3PM on a Monday?

    Geez, talking about dumb scheduling - Dortmund and Fluminense (Italy) played a noon game today in Miami. Looked pretty empty.

    And how did the people of jay county vermont vote?

    Seems that people along the border don’t like how the canucks maintain their lawns or something.

    We’re headed to maine for a week next month. We’re staying at one of the hotels in the kennebunkport resort collection. I’m gonna see if I can get a free bottle of bubbly by demonstrating my authentic canadian vernacular, eh. Will report back on my success.

    We’re also staying around camden for a few days. Will make it to acadia for a day before it’s sold off as timber.

     

    Given our place in Vermont, that map got me wondering how my town voted. It was that last blue town going up the Eastern border before you hit the reds and whites.

     

    In defense of Jay and a lot of the places up there, Vermont is pretty damn thin. I mean look at that vote 161 v 144 - BARELY 300 people and an 17 VOTE swing. And I would guess that the bulk of those people have no ties to or support of Jay Peak. They probably don't even feel the impact of the lack of tourism. It's a weird area.
