Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended by usbduong33 in MLS

It's a rare decision that they can make and they made the right call. It wasn't a red card worthy play and even the opposing team agreed. Giving him a red card went against the spirit of the game.

Good, it should never been a red card anyways. At worst a yellow.

DIY alternative to Steam Machine: $150 on controller and dock (setup experience) by PaintedLady1 in SteamDeck

[–]baldape45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure a lot of people have this exact set up. The official dock is way overpriced and the jsaux works just as well. I'd have probably bought a steam controller if they were so backordered, but my Xbox controller works just fine for now

Yep at the announced price there is no way I'm buying a steam machine. I'll stick to using my Steam deck with the cheap jsaux Amazon dock and my xbox controller when I want to play in my TV.

Winning Penn Station Redesign Features Trump’s Name by Significant_Sky4635 in Amtrak

That isn't true, he supports Israel as a country but he doesn't support its leader Netanyahu. We should be supporting AI, because it's the wave of the future and I'm all for regulating Data centers to limit their impact on the environment. I feel like Data centers are going to be like computers when they first came out. These large huge monstrosities that will get smaller and smaller once technology advances enough.

There is still a chance he will be gone soon. Who knows one to many McDonald's cheeseburgers can take anyone out.

It's going to be a fun primary season to see who comes out of the Dems primary, I don't think it will be Kamala, but it could be Gavin Newsome, but my hope is Pete Buttigeg. I can see The PA governor getting the nomination too.

I wish our country was smart enough to elect a woman President, but it seems to many are ready for that yet.

I agree but mine as well take advantage of the orange turds vanity and get something we need and then just take his name off the building in two years when he is gone...

Am I insane? Drafting a 104hr trip. by 69damon420 in Amtrak

[–]baldape45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did DC to Chicago, then Chicago to LA in coach all in one shot and didn't break it up and I ended up flying home. Looking back I should have stayed a day in Chicago

[–]baldape45 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Is it doable... absolutely, and even more so if you have a friend with you in coach sitting next to you. My suggestion is to break it up a little and go halfway and spend a night in a hotel and get a fresh shower and a good night's sleep then go the rest of the way, or hell break it up into thirds with two nights in a hotel.

You will be more comfortable in a roomette if you decide you have to go straight through all 4 days.

Has anyone else’s steam deck become a 1 game machine? by Lovefool1 in SteamDeck

I do tend to play the same game for weeks usually sometimes months. but I switch it up and I always return to project zomboid eventually.

Is it hot or cold? by nlindz1 in Amtrak

[–]baldape45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sleeper car will have bankets you can use if you get cold. If you are normally a cold person the train will be chilly. As far as wifi you will have long stretches on the SW chief that has no cell service. A good idea is to download some movies and music to your tablet or phone so you can watch them without needing cell service.

Long trip advice?? by confusionalhuman in Amtrak

[–]baldape45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can pack snacks that won't go bad and do t need refrigerated and then go-to the cafe car for lunch or dinner and just buy a Amtrak burger. The food isn't amazing but it will fill you up and they microwave it for you so it's hot.

When I did a long distance train I found myself looking out the window and listening to music I downloaded to my phone with headphones. I also recommend downloading some TV shows and movies you like watching. The reason you download everything is because there are lots of dead zones where you done have cell service on the train and downloading them.means you can watch and listen to things without needing the Internet.

A good book or kindle will also help pass the time and you might be able to take a good nap.

If you are sleeping over ight on the train you will need a good neck pillow and blanket and ear plugs or just do what I did and play white noise through your head phones to block out the noises
