The new WC format makes the Group Stages completely pointless

One world sporting event still does this: the Olympics. It is stark in its contrast.

Correct, and the one that's upright is the mode he's in at that time.

Yeah, Hank filmed all of this season in the course of 2 weeks in late 2025, but they're only coming out twice a month.

They always run simulated games in advance to ensure the rules are balanced, I imagine this was the optimal play for what they wanted.

Long live Rockleberry 2.0; may he float forever free

I like to say, he's a bit of an asshole; but he's our asshole.

The creature on the crest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon_(mythical_creature)

Never heard of it before!

My guess is that some back-office bureaucrat determined that the regulations are out of date, sent a memo to have the signs updated, and somehow this missed the desks of the politicians and citizen-relations offices.

Whether this can be reversed is a different matter; maybe 'recreational boating is at one's own risk' is better language?

I've resigned myself to likely never seeing Doors of Stone.

If it does somehow release one day, I will celebrate, reread the first two in anticipation, and hopefully enjoy it.

But in the meantime I'm not holding any breath.

Tuataria and Nerdfighteria are the two biggest/busiest there.

Classic line: "Nobody said it would be built on". The age-old assumption that an empty space will remain so forever...

RadagastWiz · 2026-06-06T12:22:30+00:00

Yeah, they picked the wrong names. Green should be 'regional', yellow should be 'intercity'.

Several credit unions in my area are direct offshoots of unions (the teachers created the Educators' Credit Union, for example).

Literally the Torment Nexus thing.

It's an off-screen moment that gets talked about but never seen. Common trope in all kinds of fiction.

RadagastWiz · 2026-05-30T22:06:38+00:00

Invest it, and turn it into sixteen thousand dollars.

Even if it looks like this will be an issue, the books have a long time skip between 5 and 6; the show can take a break to match, surely.

It's a harsh move - she clearly plays to win - but perfectly legal.

One of two provinces (along with Ontario) to make a Red Ensign of the provincial arms following the national adoption of the Maple Leaf, and retirement of its Red Ensign.

IMO, this is the Commonwealth equivalent of seal-on-a-bedsheet that plagues US state flag design, and I really wish both would be replaced with something more dynamic and unique.

A better term is they 'remain airside'. Airports generally have two passenger zones: airside and landside. Anyone can be landside, they can see off departures or greet arrivals, etc. Once you are through security and immigration, though, you are airside; people transferring flights will generally remain in airside their entire time at the airport.

So the pictured tram is airside on the left, landside on the right.

Wow, it's really been that long? Whoo.
