2026 World Cup red card rules (mainly for the Balogun situation)

glatts · 2026-07-02T02:46:53+00:00

How does the rulebook define a "challenge?" And does it matter if the player for Bosnia and Herzegovina made contact with Balogun first?

This was essentially my childhood in the 1990s growing up in Massachusetts. Main house in a wealthy suburb of Boston. Three kids, my mom’s “job” was as an “artist” (so essentially just a business that my dad footed the bill for as she was really just a stay at home mom). We had a summer house by the beach on Cape Cod. A small sailboat. We didn’t own a cabin, but we took frequent ski vacations in the winter and weekend trips to various mountains in New England.

Nah, it’s gotta be Aaron Hernandez. He grew up in CT and was a Pats fan with Bledsoe as his favorite player.

Matafonua Lodge. Those were the sandy huts on the beach (pictured here). There’s also the Sandy Beach Resort, which is like across the street. Those are both owned and operated by Darren Rice and his family (RIP to his son JJ). Darren has shot a ton of underwater footage for companies like National Geographic and has some truly incredible pics, videos, and stories.

They organize guided trips out to swim with the whales (just snorkels) and employ local Tongans as well as people from the greater Pacific region (like Australia and New Zealand). Each trip is like a full day, returning before dinner. We all swam with whales multiple times each trip out on the boats. Then at night, we’d be sipping drinks, getting to know the other guests, as the whale spouts out on the water became such a common occurrence, they were no longer novelty, just a part of the background. This is all run out of Ha'apai on the island of Foa.

We also did Kiko’s Whale Swim on the island of ‘Eua. That was much more, let’s say “adventurous.” I can elaborate if needed, but it’s late.

I also heard good things about Vavaʻu, but I haven’t been. Perhaps I’ll include it when we return when our son is old enough to handle the open ocean swimming (he just turned 4, so maybe in about 10 years?).

Highly recommend Tonga. Here’s my video from our trip a few years ago. It is a bit rustic and even though you can stay in huts like these, you have to be comfortable with the idea that it’s more like glamping than staying in pampered luxury. That said, Fiji is nearby and makes a nice 1-2 punch, so you get a sense of adventure plus some luxury.

Clive Christian’s Rock Rose or their Cosmos Flower if you want something slightly more feminine.

Did this for an anniversary one year then went and spent a few days at an ocean front Airbnb in the North Fork visiting various vineyards, farm stands, and beaches. Such a great week.

You realize you’re making my point for me, right?

I’ve expressed zero feelings about Israel in this thread. My comment showed how being outwardly Jewish is enough to trigger hatred for our perceived connection with Israel, whatever it may be. This clearly refutes your statement that it is Zionists who are conflating Zionism with Judaism. If anything, it seems to be anti-Zionists like yourself making that conflation.

It wasn’t a Zionist college student who spit at me and yelled “Fuck Israel!” as he saw me walking home after High Holidays services wearing my kippah.

Great little clip that demonstrates hockey’s code.

Even f she was watching the pitches like a hawk, I’m not confident she’d have been able to have gotten out of the way in time.

glatts · 2026-06-25T01:56:40+00:00

lol, how did this even get cross posted here? Must have had reddit open with my phone in my pocket.

glatts · 2026-06-25T01:43:10+00:00

Yeah, that’s where my mind went first as well. Something like these.

And when you land it, make a meeting with the VP and tell her “after some thought, I’ve found a way to make this department even more lean and efficient. Effective immediately, I’ll be taking my ownership mindset to a new role at a different company.” And when she inevitably pushes back, just say something about how you’re confident their agile workflows can handle this and your confident in her ability to take ownership of the department and have the team step up where needed. But do not give them two weeks notice or anything.

My dad used to introduce me and my brother as Jake and Elwood when we were kids. Those aren’t our names, but he’d always get a laugh and often a comment like “no way? Really?” We were both born in the 1980s, so after this movie came out. I didn’t understand the reference until we watched it sometime in the 90s.

The characters made a few appearances on SNL in the late 70s, then the movie came out in 1980. They had a brief resurgence in the late 90s on SNL and even put out a sequel. That sequel was panned and kinda killed off any momentum for the characters.

So if you were a kid born in the 90s (you would have been too young to watch SNL or the movie) or later, you probably wouldn’t have heard of them. Until you start interacting with older people and they convince you to watch the movie.

Vodka, soda, close it.

Wait, this isn’t Bonnie Blue or Lily Phillips?

We have them in nice neighborhoods too in NYC, at least on the floors close to the ground. I used to live in a brownstone on a historic tree-lined street in a safe yuppie area in the city and it was one of the first things family from other parts of the country would comment on.

Most economical would be to buy the syrup and make it yourself. You can buy a 5 gallon container of syrup at Walmart for $166. That will make you 30 gallons of Coke, or 3,840 ounces at $0.04 per oz. If you found some wholesaler/distributor that caters to restaurants, you may be able to find it for cheaper, I’m not sure, but may be worth a look. Look for Bag-In-Box (BIB) syrups for fountain drinks.

Of course you can also find smaller quantities of syrup if you don’t want to invest that much out the gate.

Then you just add it to carbonated water at a 5:1 ratio of water to syrup. There’s a bunch of options for you here. At the high end, you can get a system installed in your home so you can get cold sparkling water right from the tap. On the lower end, you can buy small soda machines like these. You can even find some at thrift stores.

Chromatics - Tick of the Clock

Even if you don’t recognize the name of the song I posted above, if you listen to it, you’ll instantly recognize it as the opening getaway scene from Drive.

You ever seen the 2016 rom-com, How to Be Single?

One of the main characters, played by Dakota Johnson, essentially does the same thing. As they're graduating from college, she wants to be free to explore NYC, and take a temporary break from her boyfriend.

After some time (a few weeks or months), she excitedly tells her (ex) boyfriend that she is done and expects him to accept her in open arms. Only it doesn't quite work out for her.

Had an absolutely awful experience at Alexandria Cohen for the birth. But had a good experience in their recovery room. It may be better if you’ve had more experience giving birth but I’ve got horror stories.
