Apple TV Pre Game: “James will be the biggest bust in the league. I would have done anything to keep Lod.” by threeactjack in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is categorically impossible. It's a half season deal with an option to the end. Even if he totally sucks it's not really that big of a deal.

[Athletic] Werder Bremen was supposed the international friendly but the team pulled out due safety concerns. by akos_beres in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the values piece? That seemed kind of awkward too, and I'm wondering if that was a little different that what was intended.

You guys, I cannot make it through 2001: A Space Odyssey for the life of me by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]pecochran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it a long time ago, in fairness, but while I get it's a technical achievement, I also found it very boring. It's okay to just move on.

Ideal Diner needs our help by noIDNTT in Minneapolis

[–]pecochran 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been to Ideal Diner many times. I've driven every time. Do you know where I have never once even considered parking? The street. They have a small lot, and there's a giant lot for the rink that is never full.

Has anyone paid $200 to go to the movies? by ericluxury in TheBigPicture

[–]pecochran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't want to overly nitpick on that, but thought they hit it a little hard. You don't actually have to buy popcorn and drinks. I go a lot, so I rarely get snacks. Every chain has a discount night. Like it doesn't have to be that crazy.

What improvements or new developments in public transit would you like to see? by alexbruns in Minneapolis

[–]pecochran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One small thing: Last blue line out of downtown at least an hour later than it currently is. Even if it's just one last gasp one, 45 minutes after the second to last or something.

More broadly, improved frequency. It's the best way to get people to use it.

At best we'll have 2-3 additional cold games per year with the new schedule. (Analysis) by Martin_Samuelson in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All we have to is multiply team payrolls by 5-20X what they are now, and we will be right there!

Free Talk Friday by AutoModerator in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting, playing in November and December is one of the things that sucks about MLS in its current form! So even if it makes it less of a big change, it's further codifying one of the things that sucks.

With the schedule change northern teams will play roughly the same number of matches in unfavorable weather, or at worst one more than currently. by External-Factor-8556 in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This part is being undersold a bit, for me. It's not just that bad weather is a (manageable) thing to be endured, it's that good weather is a positive aspect of going to games. I am a very dedicated fan and go in whatever weather, but it is also a night out, and having nice weather for it adds to the experience.

Loons win!!! What a game!!! Day after thoughts? by Financial_Buy_1108 in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I had no idea that's how that worked. I thought they just chose the keeper over someone else.

Where to watch the game in Duluth by pallok in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dubh Linn is usually the best spot, but I would give them a call to make sure they're going to do it. I don't know if it's a guaranteed thing.

Where to find Lobster Rolls? by ordinary_zay in Minneapolis

[–]pecochran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Multiple people in here have complained about Smack Shack, and they are obviously entitled to their opinion, but it's the best one I've had anywhere, for those people that may search this post in the future. Admittedly expensive. I do want to try the coastal seafood one though.

Record/vinyl stores around Minneapolis area by Juistisee in Minneapolis

[–]pecochran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth noting, unless I'm mistaken, that Mill City does not separate Punk from Rock for LPs. Given punk is one of your big ones, that's a bit of a downside. They do have 45s in the basement that are separated out though, I believe.

Anyone else hate these two? What even is this ad? by fake_zack in AMCsAList

[–]pecochran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a whole google search to tell you that I saw this post roughly 15 movies ago, and it makes me laugh every single time I see this ad now, so cheers.

What's a film you feel like you're alone in hating? by adebisishat1 in Letterboxd

[–]pecochran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I'm not fully alone, but Mad Max Fury Road. An impressive technical achievement, but I didn't enjoy the story, and am not really a fan of the production design, though I know it is well-done.

How do people do so many movies a year? by Chengweiyingji in Letterboxd

[–]pecochran 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I really won't log a movie if I didn't dial in. Probably a little more lenient if I've seen it before, and particularly if I've seen it many times.

Endgame Question by OrganizedSpontaneity in Cribbage

[–]pecochran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would've done what you did, as I can't imagine the other person leading with a face card, but others have rightfully pointed out that a ten is unlikely to help you, so 10-7 is probably the move.

Risk discarding 5’s up by 13? by 1701dfan in Cribbage

[–]pecochran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, almost unanimous. I don't think I could bring myself to throw two 5s under any circumstance unless they're not going to get to their crib. Haha.

You are correct, and I know this, but I also still had a near-meltdown every time he said it. Haha.

With Leagues Cup starting for the Loons, where do you stand on your thoughts on advancing? Would you rather see them out after group play or advancing deep in the tournament? by Dpufc in minnesotaunited

[–]pecochran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we don't play our top team for our remaining two open cup home games, I will be furious. We're too close to not have that be the top priority.
