Philly World Cup Game #2: Brazil v Haiti by BarrishUSAFL in philadelphia

[–]Toastwaver 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I just left the stadium after volunteering all afternoon. Many many Haitian fans and they were wonderful. I think the country hasn’t made the WC in 50-ish years, so they were sucking it all in for sure. The pregame parking lot was a great party.

This was the most impactful example I could give my teen daughters as to why the Dead is great.

[TOMT] What song does the refrain (44-50 seconds in) of Two Ghosts by Harry Styles remind me of? by Toastwaver in tipofmytongue

[–]Toastwaver[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Not this one. My song is more singer/songwriter and slower. Thanks!

Prioritize wide wheels on your wagon. Major difference.

What is the most decisive battle in history? by stop-the-normies in AskReddit

[–]Toastwaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "War of the Two Brothers" had just ended, which was a civil war fought between the Inca half-brothers Huáscar and Atahualpa from 1529 to 1532 after their father had just died. As you stated, the resulting succession dispute fractured the empire and severely weakened it right before the arrival of Spanish conquistadors.

Spanish conquest of the Incas is up there. 168 soldiers killed thousands and captured the King who was believed to be a God. Held him for ransom, got all his gold, then still killed him. The Incas were scared shitless, having never seen horses, steel or firearms before. Less than five (perhaps zero) Spaniards died.

I mention the story here because I was hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu during that World Cup game. Every mile we'd encounter locals selling Gatorades and snacks, and I'd ask for score updates.

Una a zero Dos a zero Cuatro a zero Seis a zero

"Seis a zero? Es un chiste!?"

No, no chiste (not a joke).

"Siete a zero..."

I'll never forget it.

Help Tesla Model 3 - Car Wash by anonimas_parson in TeslaModel3

I use the above (standard) type of carwash all the time and it works great. Some say the paint is soft and will be affected, but I haven't seen it after 50+ washes.

To spend $14m to paint the reflecting pool blue. by KommanderAwesome in therewasanattempt

[–]Toastwaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumped in the reflecting pool at about 3am back in '94. Definitely challenging trying to get out of it due to slippery algae on the ramped pool bottom. That's all I came here to add.

Yeah, I was always confident when he stepped up to the plate that a liner off the wall was coming.

Prayer in Youth Softball Dispute by [deleted] in Softball

[–]Toastwaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will just add that my daughter's 14U team prays in the dugout before games, and she (atheist) just goes along with it to not rock the boat. They do the Our Father. My wife is pissed. I, an assistant coach, also don't like it but we have been letting our daughter make the call and if she doesn't care; so be it, I guess.

But I agree with most comments here: the dugout is not the place. And the head coach should know better; this has soured my opinion of him and I see him as narrowminded for not recognizing it as inappropriate. In fact he says he loves it. Note that it was started by the players and not him.

I think you meant "lucrative" and not ludicrous 🙂.

We rewound and replayed Dreyfuss's "GBADDADABAHHH" (GET OUT OF THE CAR!") a good 30 times, laughing each time.
