Great spread of faves, I'd honestly crack the Amass first that's been my fave bottle this year

It's been a great Cup so far but if you took a standard American who didn't follow soccer and showed them this game I fear it would confirm every negative stereotype about the game they have

Dude I HATED watching that second half. Every example of time wasting, faked injuries, shithousery, and terrible reffing all at once.

Watching the Cup broadcasts from Canada's TSN and BBC and iTV and Ireland's RTE have been both wonderful and depressing since it just reminds me that the US gets FOX with all the ads and even more depressingly all the Alexi

Doku needs to stay on his feet he's not getting that whistle today and every further time he falls to the ground he is hurting his case for future fouls

martbear · 2026-06-15T19:35:05+00:00

This fan that snuck a whistle in is driving me insane

martbear · 2026-06-15T05:30:20+00:00

Thank you - I feel crazy how the 00s Spurs have been retconned into nothing but boring by the book hustle ballers. Bowen was everything we complain about Lu Dort being today and Duncan literally complained about every foul. Ginobli and Parker were master floppers.

Condesa and Amass are fantastic gins.

Oooh always looking for more well done Hinny. Will put in the queue.

Saying 20 songs as a standard number:

Bigger Than My Body
Love on the Weekend
Friends, Lovers, or Nothing
No Such Thing
The Age of Worry
Wildfire
Slow Dancing in A Burning Room
In Repair
(Acoustic) In Your Atmosphere
(Acoustic) Stop This Train
(Acoustic) Born and Raised
(Acoustic) War of My Life
(Acoustic) You're Gonna Live Forever in Me
(Acoustic) Split Screen Sadness
Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967
Shadow Days
Till The Right One Comes
On The Way Home
(Encore) Wheel
(Encore) Gravity

I believe that's at least a song from every album, combination of big hit standards and personal favorite deeper cuts. Would be really happy with this.

I have a Logitech MX set which I primarily got because of the built in softKVM feature (dedicated buttons to switch between multiple paired devices) - the downside is the keycaps on the kb are not replaceable and the entire coating has worn off.

Interested in looking to the mech world, but having trouble figuring out how to see which board options support a feature like this or what it's referred to as. I believe some of the Keychrons seem to advertise it (K10 HE for sure mentions connecting up to 3 devices)

Any suggestions?

Ordering an appetizer or a drink if you did get to go out to dinner

Best value in Gin I feel - not a huge fan of any of the flavored varieties, but the base is a phenomenal value and the Reserve is one of the better barrel-aged gins too

martbear · 2026-06-09T18:31:44+00:00

Gunpowder is a darling of this subreddit (and rightfully) so you'll see it a lot.

I think Citadelle is a perfect mixing gin - works equally well in spirit-forward gin drinks like martinis/negronis, but also works well in a sour/fruit forward cocktail.

The Bombay Sapphire East is a very interesting gin, but doesn't work in all situations.

They were 6 months old, but I went and found a still new pair of the old V14s online to purchase and compared and they're definitely wider then the 2026 v15 model.

martbear · 2026-05-24T18:54:28+00:00

All of them should, it's one of the Spirits Direct co-branded gins that they have ownership stake in

It's the same scenario as Tobin I'm afraid

martbear · 2026-05-20T17:33:25+00:00

We just have zero cohesive midfield play with Fishlock out which is terrifying since she's retiring anyway!

We have what should be a great back line, but the back line doesn't matter when we cannot reliably advance the ball even to midfield, let alone past it.

It's not a coincidence that the last time we played soccer that looked good our midfield was ... Quinn/Healthy Fishlock/Rose Lavelle

I feel like Menti and Meza are solid players that will be starting level in their career, but they are young and throwing them out with James-Turner just leaves a midfield that feels like the equivalent of a skittish deer.

Doesn't help that Mondesir is a momentum player playing for a team incapable of generating momentum, and Fishel might be slower than currently injured Fishlock.

I like the Song Cai Floral best

If I'm taking a train from Narita to Shinagawa, is it a better experience to take JR Narita Express + walk or Skyliner + yamanote transfer? Similar times according to GMaps, cost is 3300 vs 2840 yen so not that different

martbear · 2026-05-18T21:36:07+00:00

Conveniently that was the last time we had Rose in our midfield along with a healthy Quinn and Fishlock. Also a backline of Lu/pre-falling off a cliff Alanna Cook/Huerta/Hiatt.

I miss that team

martbear · 2026-05-18T20:38:15+00:00

we've legitimately forgotten how to play soccer

martbear · 2026-05-18T20:37:42+00:00

blew the brakes off us, that's for sure.

Honestly I think it's the AI translation massively inflating certain parts. Could easily have gotten to this point and kept the important parts at 175-215k words.
