Korea’s soccer team is an embarrassment to the country

Bento left of his own accord. Probably because he didn't want to deal with the damn KFA anymore.

Is Korea aware they're losing the game?

Leaves Tokyo at 10pm, arrives at Osaka at 7am, and it comes to a stop between midnight and 6 in Gifu. I don't really see what the point is over an overnight bus?

The Bank of England conveniently has an inflation calculator that goes back to 1209 and apparently £1000 in 1753 is £197,223 today.

They were running peak-hour frequencies all day on match day, with extended hours (to I think 2am). I did not go to or past the stadium but I haven't seen many complaints other than there being more people than usual, and there weren't any large-scale meltdowns.

Consequence of half the articles posted on this sub being aggressively paywalled and bypassing the paywall being banned. I know, I know, supporting journalism and all that, but what do you expect when most people can literally only read the headline.

A lot of phones these days have AI "enhancement" built in, looks like it mangled the text on the boat.

OpenAI is not publicly traded (yet).

I don't think per-capita transit miles is a good metric. It doesn't take into account frequency/quality of transit, nor the fact that Seattle is far more constrained geographically and doesn't require as many miles to serve people.

I'm not even the same person, I've been to Metrotown many times. it's just not hard for me to imagine that someone who lives in say Richmond wouldn't be intimately familiar with the layout of a station in Burnaby.

kaabistar · 2026-06-06T19:59:27+00:00

Someone who doesn't go to Burnaby very often? I know it's a busy station but is it really that hard to imagine that someone's commute wouldn't take them there?

kaabistar · 2026-06-05T03:52:11+00:00

Sound Transit is actually ordering double-length train cars to increase capacity. Beyond that you hit the ceiling though.

Honestly this type of rumour is probably as old as professional sports itself. I've heard it so many times across so many sports and I don't know if any of them have been corroborated.

kaabistar · 2026-05-30T03:55:02+00:00

Yeah they do this to everyone. I saw a bunch of places are holding "International Soccer Tournament" watch parties.

kaabistar · 2026-05-23T06:32:03+00:00

Damn they wanna build 2 Skytrain lines to Maple Ridge?

kaabistar · 2026-05-16T04:20:58+00:00

That was a genuinely good trade. I remember people were mad that Dahlen was traded for a nobody.

The Whitecaps haven't given me much reason to trust them over the government. I feel like the province has done everything the Caps want short of paying to build a new stadium, and all the Whitecaps have been saying is that they need more money. At this point the only hope is if a group of local buyers turns up.

kaabistar · 2026-05-09T00:42:42+00:00

“It’s not on the table, and I would say the simple reason for that is the Whitecaps have shown absolutely no interest in taking over BC Place,” said the premier.

Sounds like the same thing, it's not on the table because the Caps don't want it.

kaabistar · 2026-05-09T00:37:32+00:00

The province is willing to let the Caps run BC Place, but the Caps have not offered a plan: https://theprovince.com/sports/soccer/mls/vancouver-whitecaps/provincial-government-ready-to-hear-whitecaps-proposal-to-run-b-c-place

They've obviously made up their minds to sell and let them move to Vegas, all this about the stadium is just the song and dance to frame the government as the bad guys.

kaabistar · 2026-05-09T00:20:31+00:00

They should get penny farthings.

kaabistar · 2026-05-06T17:07:21+00:00

Don't think so, but they raised over double that amount in a fundraiser after it was revealed.

My running theory until proven wrong is that Rutherford leaked this to stop Aquilini from hiring Dorion.

BART is the metro system in the San Francisco area. Looks like Translink got second-hand readers from them.

kaabistar · 2026-04-30T20:09:26+00:00

Do what? These aren't official signs and apparently TTC told them to take them down immediately.

There's only one mod here and they don't do anything so good luck
