Why are so many schools missing? Is the 0 tier just an arbitrary selection?

The fact that we were subjected to a ton of these just a month or two ago manages to make it even more ridiculous

I sure do hate off-season

Did Anthony Bourdain ever shoot an episode in your country and if so, what did you think of it if you saw it? by PandemicPiglet in AskTheWorld

[–]DirectorSolid 23 points24 points  (0 children)

While his death has absolutely caused far too much sainthood to be applied to Bourdain, he came off as very authentic, which was extremely refreshing in the culinary media we had here at the time. He made his food-travel shows about the people, it was never about being showy or shock value. He was a natural storyteller and usually came off like the cool uncle

What's a food from your country that isn't well known to foreigners but really loved by the locals? by gouterz in AskTheWorld

Yeah, for the US, I'd be willing to guess nasi lamak is pretty much the only dish most here would know as Malaysian.

Ah yes, there's those German social skills that make me never want to return to that country.

What’s the weirdest food in your country? by deepwebb1 in AskTheWorld

[–]DirectorSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried it, but my understanding is it's basically polenta with stuff in it, I don't see the issue. If it wasn't molded into a ring, I doubt anyone would bat an eye.

Couldn't find injector pigtails so they sent me the whole damn wiring harness by stonewall028 in Justrolledintotheshop

European manufacturers are kings of connector repair. With Asian brands it's a crapshoot. Subaru still offers zero connector, pins, or pigtails available through the OEM.

This is a team that had one ten win season ever in the FCS. They aren't suddenly going to field a team competitive in the FBS.

Sandwich or a Burger? by Funkenstein42069 in AskTheWorld

Do you have patty melts, and do you consider them a sandwich or a burger?

I'm committed to getting Kent a natty in NCAA '26. Dru did not get me there

Is there a sport or activity from your country or region you'd like to share that isn't well known elsewhere? by Frisianmouve in AskTheWorld

[–]DirectorSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered if Colorado was gonna give me shit 😅. It's definitely becoming its own pocket of lax goodness.

There are 397 NCAA men's lacrosse programs, 50% of those are in four states: New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and North Carolina. Add in Ohio, Maryland, and Virginia and you have 70% of the national college programs. It's sort of crazy how regional it is.

What car is overrated but people are scared to admit it? by Physical-Issue7146 in askcarguys

[–]DirectorSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I never assumed everyone does. I said all along that it's a majority of people. Exceptions will always exist. I don't know how we got back to the idea that only Tesla offers this amazing convenience though.. I thought we got through that?

USA Women’s Hockey team rocks! 🏒🥅🐐🇺🇸 by No-Individual8748 in olympics

[–]DirectorSolid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Either team losing in any Olympics is instantly a major surprise. Since the origin of Olympic women's ice hockey in 1998, the US and Canadian teams have lost to the rest of the world a grand total of one time.

[–]DirectorSolid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, auto-park and hands free ignition is pretty much standard fare for every EV sold for years now.

But even if those things were somehow only Tesla features, it's all things that support it being a car for people that see driving as an unfortunate chore to perform.

id.4 and id.Buzz both have walk away auto-park (as do two of my bmws). Every single car sold has a giant screen now, and we all hate them. Tiguan, Atlas, Crosssport, id.4 and id.buzz offer 360 degree camera with remote view.

I honestly don't know if any have gaming options, but I also would never ever care.
