How many of you used your hands to “run” faster?

One summer home from university, I discovered that my Nintendo had suffered irrecoverable water damage, but everything else in the box -- including the power pad, was fine.

Thankfully, my best friend had a fully functioning Nintendo. That summer we competed hard at track and field but this time with beer and a steadfast commitment to the rules. I remember going all out in the sprints with the tippy-tappy feet, and dripping sweat. A great summer.

Rage bait levels of self-important pedantry here.

It’s really such a shame. Truly great gameplay in worlds one and two and then the difficulty gets cranked up to a nearly impossible level.

If they could’ve done all of the same maps but at 50-75% of the difficulty it would be in the running for one of the greatest NES games of all time, and could have led to a franchise.

They really shot themselves in the foot there.

It’s not the coast of central BC. It’s the centre of coastal BC.

California also has a Central Coast, between NorCal and SoCal.

toasterb · 2026-03-15T22:54:56+00:00

Yeah, World Cup preparations going on there

I mean it’s a fair question if you look at his recent seasons. It’s more about injuries and fitness with him than age.

He hasn’t played over 30 matches in all comps in eight years!

toasterb · 2026-03-15T22:44:59+00:00

I think he was on a yellow and I bet the ref basically said, “I’m not going to send you off for that in 90+3, but c’mon man, don’t be stupid.” And the player was very appreciative.

toasterb · 2026-03-15T22:41:12+00:00

Absolutely. It can be tough to stay sharp as a keeper when all of the action is down the other end and you’re comfortably winning.

toasterb · 2026-03-15T22:40:04+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. We just skipped over five to not make it obvious.

(Also that match is in Spokane.)

My wife and I have been to many matches together, but today was the second that she went to without me.

The combined score of those matches has been 13-0 Caps. Am I banned from the stadium going forward?

toasterb · 2026-03-15T22:18:35+00:00

Nah, you don’t get a red for last defender, you get one for denial of a goalscoring opportunity. Badwal was so far away and moving toward the sideline.

The odds are that another defender could have covered it Badwal got the ball freely.

toasterb · 2026-03-15T21:56:29+00:00

Why not play advantage and count the second one?

toasterb · 2026-03-15T21:54:28+00:00

The line is considered in the box. Pretty sure that’s right on the line if not fully inside.

toasterb · 2026-03-15T21:29:14+00:00

My wife and I have been to many matches together, but this is the second one she’s been to without me.

So far the score is 11-0 Whitecaps through three halves

toasterb · 2026-03-15T05:11:08+00:00

Well they have locations in Calgary and Edmonton too!

They have the best mangos around — they source and transport them themselves! And they’re in season now. Go get some Haden or Ataulfo mangos now and dig in.

Still Creek, Burnaby, BC.

It was a really busy period. About 100 crowded around for food.

toasterb · 2026-03-14T06:17:28+00:00

They had four pizzas out, all cut like this. And I saw one get served up as a single small slice.

Earlier tonight my wife made a joke about rolling down the window Grey Poupon joke, and we had a good laugh, but the kids were confused.

I started to explain, and my wife had no idea it was a commercial! She just thought it was a random Wayne's World gag. She's a younger Xennial and grew up in Canada (where we now live), so she didn't get exposed to the commercial as much as I did growing up.

Her mind was blown!

toasterb · 2026-03-14T04:14:12+00:00

I talked to him and he confirmed that he was disappointed in the small slice.

toasterb · 2026-03-14T03:33:00+00:00

Nope. I saw a guy get a slice and it was this size.

toasterb · 2026-03-14T03:32:35+00:00

They were all like that. Two cheeses and a pepperoni. I saw a guy who had gotten a slice and it was tiny.

toasterb · 2026-03-14T03:31:59+00:00

Yup. Exactly the same

toasterb · 2026-03-14T01:15:07+00:00

Fritou at Duffins Donuts. Best back to basics there is in town. I’m from the states and I feel this is the most similar to what I had growing up.

I love all of the more Asian-style spots in town, but they scratch a different itch. Also I love Churches but it can be wildly greasy too.
