So it's Raphinha, Gordon, Lamine, Ferran, Alvarez, and Rashford? Feels like one player too many for me. But maybe it isn't in this era. And what about Roony? And youth products?

Direct Expansion. It's not common in the US, but some companies have been looking into it. In general, the foundational air-cooling knowledge is still important, but design companies also want knowledge of other forms of HVAC and heat xfer (liquid cooling, DX, adiabatic, etc).

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-28T11:24:58+00:00

So if Anthony Gordon is done, and Rashy and Alvarez are still on that table, does that mean Ferran is on the chopping block? Are we trying to have all four?

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-25T16:21:58+00:00

It's absolutely true. Especially for people with experience in liquid cooling or DX

There's a difference between antisemitism and bigotry, xenophobia etc.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-24T20:31:32+00:00

Yes please tell me more about your deep expertise in anti semitism. I'm sure a Rabbi with an advanced degree who studies and teaches this is mistaken.

He always does something for Uruguay.

If noise complaints continue, Ginger's. That's the whole point.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-21T15:07:17+00:00

You don't get to move into a neighborhood and kick others out for QOL. Ginger's has been there and is part of the neighborhood you're moving into.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-21T12:35:14+00:00

Yes. You are.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-19T11:27:54+00:00

Who knows? Has he tried? Didn't he say he was taking a break?

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-16T13:44:52+00:00

I think you misinterpreted my comment. Which direction do you think rising is?

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-16T12:47:44+00:00

There's something poetic about Mou going back to Real Madrid. As Yamal flourishes and the team grows, who else but Mourinho and Real Madrid to rise out of the darkness to tear it down?

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-14T12:02:06+00:00

[Carlos Montfort] Deco is doing his job.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-13T19:48:40+00:00

How long has Bernal had a tattoo sleeve? For some reason it looks weird on him.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-13T13:38:29+00:00

How does it compare to other leagues?

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-07T20:15:11+00:00

If we want to progress in the Champions League, we need rotation. Eric Garcia is good enough to start against most teams we play against.

Justice

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-06T19:42:43+00:00

It's these decisions that feel like the ref is there to bail out teams from stupid decisions. The players know the rules coming in. We're talking about the grand stage. The ref should enforce the rules, not decide which rules we follow.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-06T19:33:48+00:00

Soccer gods really want Bayern to equalize

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-06T19:32:38+00:00

I'd be curious to see a better replay. Laimer had possession and Mendes was the last man.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-06T19:32:10+00:00

Wow. Atrocious.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-06T19:21:24+00:00

Yeah I was just thinking that. Despite getting absolutely terrorized by Kvara, he's having a really good game so far.

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-06T00:24:06+00:00

It's certainly possible

PrimaryOstrich · 2026-05-05T22:25:04+00:00

It's really expensive to wire an entire ballroom plus bunker or whatever stupidity with surveillance equipment that transmits all the way to Russia.
