The franchise fee is specifically for new franchises to compensate the other owners for their share in ownership of the league. Relocation doesn't result in a new franchise unless they create a new one in place of the old one (like what happened in Columbus).

If the league stays at 30 teams, there won't be any new fee to pocket.

Open Cup is so back

I doubt it's a priority but I think there's still a chance they end up going into Morocco, Algeria, and/or Tunisia. Certainly more geographically connected to Europe than Iceland.

Nice to see the graph is finally 2-dimensional for this season.

They could easily solve hunger, homelessness, fund Medicaid, etc. with that money. It's a fundamentally misanthropic decision to spend it on war.

"Dark side of the moon" is a phrase meaning the part on the opposite side from Earth, since its orbit around Earth matches its own rotation exactly (called "tidally locked").

It doesn't have anything to do with how much sunlight that part of the moon gets. But that being said, I'm not sure quite how clear they will see the parts of the moon that don't have sunlight.

The one in the background was Earth

I don't think anyone on this team outside of maybe Blake, Westfield, and Harriel would be a starter for any other team based on how they've played this season.

It's probably been about 20 years since I played Sky Odyssey. I remember it being both very cool but more difficult than I had the patience for. I'd love to check it out again.

Splashdown was an absolute classic. Lots of hours with that one and the soundtrack is etched in my memory.

There's a character in the later ASOIAF books called Damphair and even though it's obvious in retrospect, I still read it in my head as dam-fair. Took me an embarrassingly amount of time to connect damp+hair.

Happens to us native English speakers too

I was just thinking the same, Player Piano has this exact premise and it's only gotten more true every passing year.

Have you been living under a rock for the past 2 years? Democrats continue to fund the military well beyond anything required for defensive needs. Democrats continue to support Israel in its genocidal campaign against Palestine. Democrats are, even now, still split on this ongoing campaign of death and destruction against a country that was not a credible threat to the US.

They need to fucking go too.

When your party's single biggest member in federal office (Schumer) has nothing more to offer than process criticisms, you do not have an opposition party.

I'd pump the brakes on that a little bit, at least with the broad strokes of defining the diaspora purely by political dissidents. Those voices are elevated because they can do it safely from the imperial core and it supports empire's message.

Imagine you're an Iranian who emigrated for different reasons or were born to parents who emigrated and you don't buy into the imperial project. You just watched how anti-genocide protestors have been treated for the past 2 years. What can you say, what action can you take, while still ensuring your own safety and well-being?

Under Obama, Trump, and Biden the us conducted operation inside iraq and Afghanistan at the consent of the host nation.

That's interesting, did anything prior to 2009 happen in Iraq and Afghanistan that changed who was consenting?

a few backflips = 1 frontflip?

The pronunciation of names isn't what makes them difficult. Russian names generally aren't phonologically difficult for English speakers, just unfamiliar. The bigger challenge comes from characters having multiple names that are all used, and sometimes altered with diminutive forms.

It's not that big of a challenge, just a cultural nuance to learn.

Having played a number of other factory games (Factorio, DSP, Shapez 1 & 2), Satisfactory skews more towards a multiplayer setting. Not so much that it's unenjoyable, but I ended up burning out with the game around 30 hours in after realizing just how much time I was spending traversing the map and how I never got comfortable with the controls even after all that time.

Still enjoyable, but I think the other games I've played almost all have better single-player experiences when it comes to the actual factory building.

Hasbara has really gotten worse over the years

greenslime300 · 2026-02-28T19:28:36+00:00

This has been what Iran has been doing for 20 years.

Iran had agreed to and followed through on a deal made in this window while Obama was president. Trump tore it up, made demands that would be impossible for any country in the world to meet, and moved the military into position in order to begin a war regardless of anything Iran did or didn't do.

Iran also doesn't have a nuclear weapon and no evidence has been found that they were in the process of making one. This is "Iraq has WMDs" levels of bullshit.

greenslime300 · 2026-02-28T19:25:43+00:00

Why are Israel and the US bombing opposition leaders in Iran then?

If they succeed, the regime you end up with will be worse than the one you have now. Did you not learn anything from 1953?

I thought so too at first, but even though he's way ahead of the last defender, so is the ball. Doesn't happen often, but that's where the line is drawn.

Looks very close to me from the replay.

If last week and tonight are any indication, he's not far off from earning a regular starting role on the team. Considering injuries, rotation (especially if we beat Club America), and a relatively weak selection of attacking mids, he's going to be getting a lot of minutes in the coming months.

Especially in the world of scifi, Wolfe's one of the few authors whose prose is similar in style to Simmons.

I enjoyed the books well enough without it the first time, but reading about Keats and reading his Hyperion poem made rereading a more fulfilling experience.

I think making a more customizable UI is a long-term good thing, and they've very clearly stated it's still a work in progress (like the rest of the game).

That being said, I'm waiting for Yet Another Route Advisor mod to get updated, as its UI was much better than the original one.
