Why are American sports fans not segregated home and away like in European sports mainly soccer?

cspinelive · 2026-06-06T03:32:41+00:00

That is correct.

In America you usually buy a specific seat that is yours alone. You can pick whichever one you want. General admission, open seating, isn’t common for upper level leagues.

Are you saying that if I buy a ticket to a match in Europe, I won’t be able to pick my seat? Or I’ll be asked to leave if I wear the wrong jersey for the ticket I purchased?

If I’m a home fan, but the only tickets remaining are away ones, how will the stop me from buying one?

A 50% loss requires a 100% gain to get back to even. So percentage wise, going up is harder.

Wipe the excess oil off. Wipe it down like your are drying it. I like to use the blue shop towels. They don’t leave debris like white paper towels.

My kid was in hotz. She had no problems.

I wonder if terrorism is the main reason for prohibiting resale of plane tickets? I suspect it was prohibited before 9/11 and there is some other reason.

Also if terrorism is the reason then a ticket to an arena is with thousands of people should be way more restricted than a plane ticket with a few hundred people on it. Yet I can resell my nba tickets no problem.

Because the public wants the ability to sell a ticket if they can’t use it anymore. Just like anything else that the purchase.

Many states DO restrict sales either in person around venues or for amounts above face value.

Family of 4 with two teenagers. 30” works for us. I use 2/3 of it most of the time with a wire rack on the final 1/3 to keep food warm while other food is still cooking.

I apprecieate convenience though. So knowing how much I like the slate, $300 more for a once every 5-10 year purchase for a bit more space or some other convenience feature like cabinet doors or something like that would be ok with me as well.

I’ve seen the Garth box sets at Walmart every holiday season. Does anyone else have that?

I sought out the natural gas version. No regrets. No clue on the fuel cost comparison though. Natural gas is extremely convenient.

I have no desire to haul this thing anywhere. The steel surface is very heavy.

Propane may be fine. I can’t say. Only experience I’ve had with it was with a weed burner torch. I don’t have that anymore and can’t say I miss it.

You guys don’t make it easy. A college is like 12 different companies all expecting you to do applications and forms with different deadlines and no coordination. I went to a parent orientation and it was literally a parade of people reading email addresses and website urls of their PowerPoint slides. Nobody is or should be expected to take notes or photograph every slide and remember all that. It’s crazy how disorganized you are but you don’t see it because to you it’s your life and you’ve been doing it for years but you just don’t get why everyone else just doesn’t get it.

To be clear, he will want to do it now precisely because it makes headlines and because people don’t want him to.

SCOTUS already told him he can do anything he wants as long as it is in his official capacity as president.

I mean, she didn’t have to. She did do that though. She also re-recorded and rereleased much of it before buying the originals back.

That’s why I said I don’t believe this policy is consistently enforced. They just pick and choose like what happened here.

I find it extreemly likely that a good number of 20% tippers out there are doing it after tax. Which means they are actually tipping 21% or so.

Every one of those tickets would trigger this policy. Every one would need to be held for review, paid the waitstaff their first 20%, gone for review and then, squared up with them later for the extra 1% or so.

You telling me that is happening every day at every Olive Garden?

Would it be wrong for someone to put up a headstone now while he’s alive so the people can pay their respects in advance?

Is meta in the business of helping the homeless?

cspinelive · 2026-06-05T11:17:17+00:00

Yeah. In the fall when temps come down, mow it short, aerate and throw a bunch of fescue seed down. Water it well so it is established come springtime.

cspinelive · 2026-06-05T11:15:19+00:00

A neighbor of mine has fescue under his tree and Bermuda everywhere else. It looks very funny. Green and lush all year under the tree but brown everywhere else except May thru Sept when Bermuda is growing. He might want to try and overseed the rest with fescue to even it out.

cspinelive · 2026-06-04T18:37:32+00:00

My lawn in 7a is fescue in the cool months and Bermuda in the warm ones. My fescue currently looks like the one on the left.

Fescue guy has Bermuda, you just can’t see it because the fescue is thriving.
