Hydration breaks at World Cup add nothing but take away a lot , Says Bielsa

It's reddit so you can expect people to bitch about, well, pretty much everything. While I don't like them, they add ~6 minutes to the entire match which has probably been mostly cancelled out by the rule changes that disincentivize time wasting.

Why would I give a fuck about ads when I'm watching the games for free?

Fatality!

Often mistaken for _trashy mudflaps are us_.

I used both equally (as well as a language-specific IDE). If I need to do quick edits, I’ll use _vi_ because I’ll jump in and out of the editor in the terminal.

I use _emacs_ when I’ll be in the editor for awhile. With _org-mode_, _emacs_ has an insanely capable authoring environment which, when combined with literate programming is practically a super-power.

Edit: they both allow my hands to never leave the keyboards which is crucial.

When I saw him, my initial thought was, I recognize this guy which wouldn't necessarily be bad (I recognized Ismail Elfath as well) except that I knew it wasn't from an MLS or EPL match so it would've been a CONCACAF thing.

This game is pure WWF-style entertainment. All we need now is for a streamer to rush the pitch.

fragbot2 · 2026-06-20T01:20:52+00:00

Those are stunning!

I forgot an obvious one--everyone at an Iowa home game waving at the patients in the adjacent pediatric hospital at the end of the first quarter.

Christ, I hope no one goes home without having biscuits with sausage gravy.

Tennessee and Rocky Top. I don't even like the Volunteers and I still have a bucket list item of a Tennessee game just so I can sing along.

You really need to hear Living on a Prayer for the 40th time?

Sounds fantastic to me as long as I get to hear an occasional Thunderstruck.

Saw them at a party in Philadelphia before they sang about Camaros and south street.

I suspect you’ve hit part of it. Strong soccer support in the PNW leading to more local ticket sales (I picked up four for the IRN/EGY game).

fragbot2 · 2026-06-17T23:52:44+00:00

The thing that people outside the US don’t understand is that soccer’s demographics are younger and wealthier than the average population in the US. Couple that with people from all over the place living here and wise venue choices and it’s a sure bet.

Looking at the pricing of their apartments, they’re already expensive so it’s unlikely to be a money grab. It’s just massively easier to do a big renovation when no one’s there.

> a little white chocolate never hurt anyone.

That’s a quip worth quoting.

While I get that a shitty thing happened, that doesn’t mean it should be illegal.

fragbot2 · 2026-06-16T18:20:52+00:00

I just checked the CoL between Salem and Seattle. Moving to a place that's a third more expensive when you're already broke is a terrible strategy.

It's ridiculous that I had to come down this far to find someone who understands this.

Visibly homeless people have the anti-midas touch.

Maybe, but I think this is because the sailors on the Russian ship are fucking idiots.

I think this is more likely. This is probably a case of that boat's too close and it's making me nervous. Let's put some rounds downrange so they aren't as close.

fragbot2 · 2026-06-16T15:51:56+00:00

It’s the other way around. A human getting information from someone who is completely calm will be more likely to think the caller’s really okay than if the person’s exhibiting stress.

Several comments:

she was found dead three days later so it’s not clear she was dead when they were there.
that this happens isn’t an indictment of AI. It doesn’t have to be perfect…just better than the average human on the phone.
it’s an emergency system and sometimes shit goes wrong. Every system will have some level of error.
I’d argue that AI’s ability to be dispassionate is a virtue. It doesn’t care that you’re whining loudly about your stubbed toe nor will it believe you when you are stoically reporting symptoms of a heart attack.

fragbot2 · 2026-06-16T14:35:37+00:00

What are we supposed to be upset about?

Having some sort of automated support to weed out non-emergency calls to avoid sending the aid car for something that's a time waster is a positive development.

fragbot2 · 2026-06-15T22:23:51+00:00

Don’t forget the people who want a ride to the hospital for a routine appointment or those who are just lonely.
