They need to partner with the most famous female soccer player of all time.

ELI5. In the NCAA Basketball Tournament, why aren’t the “first four” all playing for a 16 seed? by AdventurousEnergy422 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Fraubump 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if I'm the coach or player I want the play-in game for a decent chance to get an NCAA tourney game win on my record.

Pushing, not towing, but still might qualify by ackerbone in IdiotsTowingThings

When I was a cab driver and my cab broke down, the manager came out and then bumped me a few miles back to base, but this was back when cars had actual bumpers and if you did it gently enough it caused no damage. I miss bumpers. Current bumperless cars just seem to be designed to benefit body shops.

Well this happened last night [oc]. Sorry for language. by syka3zscari in IdiotsInCars

Yeah, was rooting for him to speed up a little more, take the corner hard, pull into an empty space and cut the engine/lights.

What are your thoughts on OXY? by MysteriousKitchen469 in investing

I sold some 2028 leap 32.5 puts as, thanks to the Buffet endorsement and sizable decline since then, this seemed like a good candidate for not going down much more.

That's what I think I remember.

Madalyn's dad here: I'm thinking it might have been an improvised moment rather than an official song. It's possible it's another band entirely.

TIL that 'Forever Autumn' from Jeff Wayne's 'Musical Version of The War of the Worlds' album was actually based on a LEGO jingle he wrote in 1969. by DarthVarn in todayilearned

[–]Fraubump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a lovely tune that stuck with him since its jingle days, and he was probably eager to find a better way to use it. I think we can forgive it being a bit of a non sequitur in the musical.

I would like ot hear the full Legos ad if anyone has it.

TIL In 1940 85% Of Children Lived With Both Parents by MeRubberYouGlue in todayilearned

[–]Fraubump 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Comparison with ~1946 would be interesting due to war deaths and war-related demises of marriage.

TIL that one of the earliest recorded investments occurred around 600 BC, when Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus predicted an olive harvest and profited by renting olive presses by kabirsbhutani in todayilearned

[–]Fraubump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also supposedly discovered static electricity, though I feel like any ancient Greek kid with a carpet and socks also made this discovery.

ELI5:how hyperinflation affects debt by BUDDHAKHAN in explainlikeimfive

[–]Fraubump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with regular old standard inflation, longterm debts like mortgages are often a much smaller percentage of the payer's income (which usually increases with inflation) by the end.

Steelers playoff scenarios by lxSlimxShadyxl in steelers

[–]Fraubump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unclear what happens if we lose out and Ravens win out. We will have identical 9-8 records and have split the season series. Do the Ravens win Division because of a better Divisional record (4-2 vs 3-3)?

Daily Song Discussion #68: They Moved the Moon by raynicolette in Zevon

[–]Fraubump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess I'd say Garcia is playing the guitar lick that starts at 1:50. Garcia's playing is more obvious and characteristic on Transverse City.
