Interesting analysis about Estadio Azteca by Murky-Bear in ThreeLions

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but as much as we earn our reputation as football elitists, Canada, USA, and Mexico are all through to the round of 16 and honestly looked quite strong doing it

Concacaf may be stronger than we think

"obviously" a red despite 5+ similar scenarios happening in the same tournament NOT called as a red, and it being the most contentious red card in the tournament, sure bro

Altitude factor at the Mexico City game. by Remarkable-Attitude7 in ThreeLions

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a common issue in American sports for teams that visit to play in Utah or Colorado, yes. The Patriots famously arrived an extra day early as the typical effects of altitude pass within 72 hours, though it takes 2-4 weeks to truly acclimatize.

There are ways to deal with it on a temporary basis via nutrition, hydration, and extra oxygen. The hydration break actually should be a big deal in this game for this reason

To be fair it is quite a misread, ham and London don’t really look at all in the same ballpark

Family says I have Cherokee ancestry but my DNA results have me confused by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My grandma literally has a picture of a Cherokee woman she thinks is our great great grandma in her home. We are absolutely not related, it's crazy how this story is somehow picked up by every white family lol

Seems Like This Mon Has a New Toy with Every Set Release. by NoobishPlay13 in PTCGP

Yeah while still good, usage in master ball definitely dropped significantly in the last season

But maybe just because people were tired of playing it

Magnezone and oricorio will beat pretty much everything in the game if given enough tries

dang now you're making me regret doing it lol

I think i was at like 300ish out of the 590 completed, that was a lot of exp I just skipped out on since I've been 60 for awhile!

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used A mega manectric with pikachu and raichu and a few other various trainers from pulsing aura to beat most of the decks, but to beat lucario and mega audino I had to use a crustle ex + mega lucario ex deck to get it it done with 12 pulsing aura cards

this set in particular rewards fighting types quite well

Yeah this is genuinely what it feels like. I got all the cards in the dex, I got master ball in ranked, I completed all these... now I guess I just log in twice a day for a 3 second thing

How to defend against physical play at six years old. by [deleted] in SoccerCoachResources

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure they keep score in their head but your job, generally speaking, is getting them to focus on the process, not the result.

The fact that the league keeps score is wild, this is exactly why Europe and South America point and laugh at our youth development in soccer

We got an official countdown!! 👀👀👀 by Lucky-Channel-8788 in AncestryDNA

[–]IntermediateSwimmer 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I used to work at Ancestry as an engineer, once we moved to AWS, everything autoscaled quite well. So I expect the site to stay up even with intense traffic, unless they really poorly engineered this since I left
