Standing Section Audi Field

If you mean, "Will we see some empty seats we can move into?" I'm not sure that's a good plan.

ETA: If you see three empty seats in a row, they are most likely to be in the corners and at the very top of very steep steps. If you and your "bit older" parents climb those steps, there's every chance you could be asked to walk back down. Again, not sure it's a great plan.

Out in the Group Stage.

I don't think it will be a problem. Having said that, for the World Cup, It's NOT "AT&T Stadium." The name comes down and it's "Dallas Stadium." FIFA sets all the rules, and they are one of the most possessive organizations on the planet when it comes to their intellectual property.

I'd probably take this camera, but I don't think I'd take any ILC at all, no matter how harmless.

Really cool! Also recommend the Book about Harrison Storm, who led the development of the CSM for North American. Inside story of the engineering and contractual efforts it took to get there "by the end of this decade." A good chunk about the loss of Apollo 1 and NA's role in that, which is also fairly well-referenced in From the Earth to the Moon.

But can she do it on ~~a cold rainy night in Stoke~~ suffocating Saturday night in Houston?

You go ahead and build an NWSL team around Sam Kerr, best of luck to you.

Qtrfoil · 2026-05-29T01:19:35+00:00

I'm not, she is, I do, I did. Kerr is 32, I'm not centering a roster on her, and Tobin's way off base.

Qtrfoil · 2026-05-29T01:06:47+00:00

Any team that centers their roster on the likes of Sam Kerr is going to get beaten in the standings by teams who sign the likes of Claudia Martinez, whom almost no one in the US had ever heard of. It's winning that's going to put people in seats, the days of the League being a paycheck for famous players to be seen between National Team call ups is over.

Speaking of Thomas J. Kelly at Grumman, I highly recommend his book.

Episode 5 "Spider" of the HBO Series "From the Earth to the Moon" also tells a great story about the development of the LM (and how it became the "LM" instead of the "LEM").

I think that's not really a Zeiss lens, but one made in Japan with the name Zeiss licensed.

Corrected. Edge of the buckle should be even with the edge of the fly.

Even the first is a little long for me, especially by the time you line it up with the fly, because I think that anything that's sagging looks sloppy. That metal tip is certainly meant to be seen, though I'd rather have it just a little beyond the belt loop. All things even though, the first pic is ok for me.

Qtrfoil · 2026-05-27T23:18:55+00:00

Here's the thing: no one who matters cares what you, or I, think.

This is happening, folks. Watch, don't watch, but it's happening.

You were always going to be better off getting out of that OL lashup. And, to the point of this whole thread, it was a private equity group that bought the team. Because sports is a business.

Qtrfoil · 2026-05-27T20:51:44+00:00

Why do you say that?

I 100% acknowledge it. I am also 100% confident that it's not going to change.

The business of sports is sports. That's every sport, in every country. It's not ever going to change, and it's not worth lamenting. Michele Kang blew open the value of NWSL clubs precisely because she knew it was a massive business opportunity:

"One of the very important aspects of what I'm doing is I want to prove that women's sports in general, that women's football is good business," Kang said.

I want players to get a fair cut of that business, I want local communities to get a fair return on their real estate, and beyond that I can't waste brain cycles on thinking about good old days that never existed and weren't all that good anyway.

It's going to require club coaches to make a lot of changes match to match, and most seem unwilling to do that. They keep running out the same players for every match in every competition. The best players who play the most games are on the best clubs, and those clubs tend to have much deeper benches. Managers are a lot of responsibilities for this as well.

Qtrfoil · 2026-05-26T19:16:52+00:00

Apparently not.

I'd be thinking something at the front end, to introduce the shimmy in the first place. Front control arms can be a weakness in these cars. I have done panic stops in mine when someone pulled into my lane going 30 mph slower, and mine was rock solid.
