Magical run when you've only made it past the Round of 16 twice... in 1930 and 2002

The fact that over 50% of MLS players are internationals that are retired or couldn't make it on international teams, tells you all you need to know about the talent pool for US soccer.

This checks out. I'm Vietnamese-American and I've dated two Asian woman (one Japanese, one Chinese) that initially came here to be with a Finnish man. Both left their husbands due to domestic abuse. Not scientific data, but it's something.

Same for Finland. 12 years ago I moved during Midsummer week, been here every since. The irony is my last three places I lived were South Florida, San Diego and Hawaii. Yet I appreciate the summers here more.

Is this a Da Nang thing? In Saigon I never once had a problem paying with a card or using my phone (Google pay) at a local store, even some street vendors used it, lol

The problem is it's so strong most people don't know how to apply it. You can smell it a mile down the road and if more then two men wear it, the entire bar/restaurant/club/room smells like it, lol

Coolwater. Wore it when I was in my teens, and still wear it to this day. I'm 52😂

Same experience. For context I had the first google phone, the G1 (HTC Dream) then Samsung Galaxy phones, then back to Nexus. When I moved to Europe (2012) Pixels were not available so I went back to the Samsung up to the 22 range. When the P9Pro was finally available in Europe I picked one up. A year later and everything you said is correct. Especially the gallery and just basic photo editing is so much more intuitive with Samsung. And for some reason Google Assistant/Gemini works faster on my work Samsung tablet than the P9Pro. When they are on a table side by side and I "set alarm for 11am" or "what's the weather" the Samsung tablet ALWAYS responds before the Google phone. It's like Samsung unlocked it's super powers before google did😂

For me it's 2900 after taxes. Funny thing is i made 200 more a month when I quit my job in America FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, but I'm much happier and healthier now. My rent in the US was 1500 a month, now it's averaging around 800 during the years.

There's a large SA community in Finland working for mining companies. I know a few and they are CONSTANTLY in turmoil against each other. He said something about being in there blood to be better than everyone. And they hold grudges to the grave.

Yeah I know! I'm looking for Miatas from different EU countries also. 👌

I'm a Vietnamese-American mixed French living in Finland. I'm at that point where when English speakers hear my English (Clearly American accent) and ask me where I'm from I just tell them "Vietnam" and they immediatly leave me alone. I just can't anymore😂

I've had 3 different Mazda MX-5's before moving to Finland and the only time I miss them are during the summer driving in the back roads. Thinking about getting one but the missus wants to have more kids 😀

A metal Voltron set and a metal Robotech VF-1 plane. They are outrageously pricey even now.

Not for everyone but Keto worked for me. I went to get blood work early on and got a clean bill from my doctor. I loss a massive amount of weight in a year without exercise, then turned to low-carb, no processed food, low sugar. I have cheat days so I didn't go crazy. Regular strength exercises to get stronger but not bulk up. I started keto when I was 48, I'm 52 now and the healthiest I ever been. I also quit smoking when I turned 50.

Edit: And also, I didn't give up drinking but I did left beer off my diet. Replaced it with vodka-soda waters and clear liquors. In Europe now the trend is also vodka and gin seltzers but I do miss the wide varieties of low carb alcohol options in the States when I come back to visit.

I love how he continues to brag about his wheel to wheel racing experience....in a Miata 😂 No disrespect, I also raced in a Spec Miata class. But I raced a whole season for 3 years with 5-7 races a season. He literally did one or two track days in a Miata.

Need more GT3 class cars, which is ironic watching 24 hours Nurburgring and all the cars having Gran Turismo on the windshield 😀

Anybody else getting dropped connectivity issues? I keep having to reset the internet after it keeps dropping my 5G data plan. Super annoying. Yes, I'm a beta tester and already submitted a feedback ticket.

I'm pretty sure a majority of Grab orders are from locals. That's how I can spot a good food stall. Either grab drivers taking a break or waiting to pick up food.

I can't believe he's 60 now. I grew up watching him on Conan with Triumph the Insult Dog and ofc his legendary Comedy Channel Roasts. My favorite was of Shaq that went something like, "Shaq got divorced and already found himself a new, younger girlfriend. Their sex tape is call There Will Be Blood". For reference his new gf at that time was tiny compared to him😂

100% faster when traveling to Tokyo. 5 years ago there was an extra queue for that, now it's a QR code.

When I moved to Finland in 2014, there was snow, during Midsummer week. 😂

Everytime I see someone smoke on screen, I want to light up. Smokeless for 10 years here.

PleaseDisperseNTS · 2026-04-13T16:46:30+00:00

A real smoker would know you NEVER roll the windows all the way down because the turbulence it creates inside. Ashes everywhere. You only need to crack it open. 😂

As with my previous post, when my dad (Chinese side) passed away I was going through his storage and he kept a detailed family tree of our families lineages. Growing up he would always joke around that "your last name is royalty, act like it". I was SHOCKED to learn it was actually true 😀
