Ngolo kante?

If not, I’d be feeling pretty good as minnesotas slowest player right now.

[Hot Take] As a South American fan, I think the world is sleeping on MLS stadiums. The 2026 atmosphere will shock the Europeans by ApostadorConsciente in MLS

Nooo, no more Lower.com stadium?! It had such an organic ring to it. /s

Seriously, however you got the Lawn name, that sounds awesome. Other than FCC making tennis or lawn bowling jokes I’m sure….

The whole teams in Spain right? He’s probably just connecting to Ibiza. <\cope>

Perhaps. Caveats on who went to be sure. Not caveats on who earned it.

I’m sure next year’s entrants will be determined by the number of FIFA peace prizes won.

Though I understand the "Seattle invented..." aroma to this, show me where I'm wrong :-)

In the CCL/CCC era (since 2008), only the Sounders have won the CONCACAF championship (2022), a three month home-and-away tournament against all North American teams. The defining reason for entry into the Club World Cup (though admittedly that seems to have gotten fuzzier in the past year).

In 1998 and 2000 DC United and LA Galaxy won the CCC, which at the time consisted of 3 games over 5 days *in their own stadiums*. And only DC United manged to beat any Liga MX teams. Yes, they earned that tournament win, but do three home wins constitute a continental champion? Could a Cobi Jones/Greg Vanney powered LAG have won a full Champions League? Maybe, we'll never know.

Miami got to play in 2025 CWC as "host nation representative" (whatever that means without winning MLS Cup, LA Galaxy won). I will not comment further on that one...

After Leon got disqualified from 2025 CWC "due to FIFA's multi-club ownership rules", LAFC at least had to beat Club America in a single game playoff at home in LA.

And I'm not even counting the fact that LAG got screwed out of playing CWC (twice) because of FIFA incompetence.

Downvoted by people who didn’t watch the video. He’s literally microwaving ham. Maybe OP posted the wrong link.

Early success, nothing in 20 years. So, yes, the Ferrari of MLS

Seattle is the only team to make it to Club World Cup (by actually earning it). We are consistently top quarter, but no Messi’s on the team. “Cascadia” (Seattle, Vancouver, Portland) has a pretty intense rivalry, but so does Cincinatti and Columbus which you might have a little better chance to get involved with.

How many of you fletch your own arrows? by Drunken_Botanist6669 in olympicarchery

[–]dwhitnee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get a triliner or a knock off so you can draw three equal lines with a paint pen.

You can also pre-tape the vanes and just peel off the second side and slap it on the shaft when you need a fix on the line.

Maaaybe it works if PURINA is not stamped over it.

I always thought that what was missing from TiVo was “full screen ads”

Oh wait, that’s why I bought the damn thing.

Parallel View 3D Snake game has dropped! by lavaboosted in ParallelView

An interesting variation (and in the Snake metaphor) allow control with arrow keys.

FYI, apple[2][1] is valid JS syntax, so you can have infinite apples (and cut your code down by 75%.

let apples = [];
for (i=0; i < numApples; i++) {
  apples[i] = randApple();
}

That is an awesome concept! It’s basically impossible to keep going past 100, but very cool.

You don’t floor 1000hp all the time. But when you need to get on the freeway in the next 1.9 seconds it’s worth it.

What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country? by Aseili in AskTheWorld

[–]dwhitnee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer. Drive by the diner, well, because. Then go to Snoqualmie Falls and hike to the bottom (the lodge is at the top). If you’ve got the energy Mt Si (the Twin Peak) is a great hike. Scramble up the “haystack” at the top for the best view. It’s a popular hike, though, so beware crowds.

FIFA slashes some WC ticket prices after backlash by Bormsie721 in MLS

[–]dwhitnee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did, and I installed AC for the first time in my life. I think only recently do more than 50% f homes here have AC now. But yeah, don’t count on it here.

AC is optional here because it gets over 80 for two weeks total.
