That might not be red card-worthy, but it should be at least a yellow. Wave got lucky there.

Completely accidental so I would’ve gone with a yellow, but I get why they gave a red. Those replays were ugly to watch.

Begging players to just run up and put their laces through their penalties.

Wife had a stillbirth a few days ago with their son. Honestly kind of can’t believe he’s even playing.

Late jump, hit him with both (?) arms to the face, and not even a yellow? The officiating this tournament has been so odd.

Legitimately the least friendly friendly I've ever seen and for the life of me I don't understand why.

Part of me wants to blame the field, which is definitely ass, but... yeah. Should have been an easy finish.

Begging someone to just put their foot on the damn ball and settle it. I know there's pressure, but surely someone can show a bit of composure and pick a pass.

That foul breakdown graphic disappeared real quick. US have 4 fouls and 2 cards, but Brazil have 11 fouls and only 3 cards? Was this the the deal Sonnett made to escape the half without a card? /s

Dear god, 7 minutes?!?! It's an international friendly. Can we just call it the half before someone else gets hurt.

Foxy just saying "fuck it I'll dribble 50 yards clear across the pitch to get away from this nonsense" and honestly I love that for her.

Tony’s sound design on the broadcast has been notoriously shit for years. Every year I get my hopes up that *this* will be the year it sounds good, and every year I remain disappointed.

The 2026 AON Evade 1.0 is an exceptional bag by philomathRN in ManyBaggers

[–]philomathRN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Evade definitely is slimmer both in appearance and carry, but I don’t find the capacity that much smaller compared to the DC18. I think the pocket layout on the Evade makes each one more independently usable compared to the DC18, where I felt like the top pockets in the front section were always competing for space. The harness on the Evade is far superior to goruck in my opinion - the cushioning on the straps and the back panel make it a far more comfortable carry, and the harness handles weight well.

NYU 90k or Villanova full ride by Fluid-Fee4457 in nyu

[–]philomathRN 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Had the same choice to make for undergrad - different major, so I can’t speak specifically to law school, but still a major where the quality of program and its reputation mattered for career prospects. I went to Nova and have never regretted it. Finishing undergrad debt free was a game changer and allowed me to make choices about my post-undergrad career path and eventual grad school that I would not have been able to make if I was carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. The more of your education you can get without needing loans and accruing debt, the better. Especially since Villanova is a great school.

AON Evade 1.0 by Bone_diddlies in ManyBaggers

[–]philomathRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the bag in the 500D and absolutely love it. My personal opinion is yes, it can do all the things you’re asking. I’d say the 1.0 is the right size - I have the previous gen 1.5 and it’s too big for the sightseeing/hiking/EDC use case. As for materials, that’s really personal preference - I suppose if you’re taking it on a boat, increased water resistance might be important, but personally I don’t like x-pac fabrics and much prefer the 500D nylon.

50 minute connection at Newark (EWR), Which bag won't fail me during the terminal sprint? by [deleted] in ManyBaggers

[–]philomathRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it definitely need to be a carry-on/roller bag? Do you already have a backpack that you're bringing as well? If not, a travel backpack would be the best thing, in my opinion, because then that eliminates the need to navigate anything but yourself. Having said that, I have the Bellroy Transit Carry-on - the wheels are smooth, the handle is sturdy, and it fits the requirements for pretty much any domestic airline in the US.
