- I'd let a dog pee on it. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 16:51 4
  - a golden retriever. Then it's a statement! -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 16:53 3
    - It says he designed the cube. He's a few thousand years too late to claim that credit. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 2, 16:55 1
      - Professor Frink gonna call his lawyers. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 16:58
    - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 16:55
- The idea is to “create something that is beyond our world — that is intangible" - CinnaBaron Feb 2, 16:47 2
  - This cube, it gleams? -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 16:48 1
    - And of course there's crypto and an NFT associated with it because this guy gets high off his own flatulence. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 2, 16:51
- the idea was to “create something that is beyond our world — that is intangible,” - Reagen Feb 2, 16:47 1
  - Jinx. You owe me a beer -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 2, 16:48
Jim Harbux stays at Michigan according to Shefter on Twitter. I never understood what he saw in the Vikings in the first place. -- nm - zunk xometimes Feb 2, 16:38 2
- He saw 3 years employment. He was one mediocre year from getting fired. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 16:53 1
  - I was thinking he was looking for the Gruden deal. 10×10. - zunk xometimes Feb 2, 16:57
So wait, this Brian Hendrick guy, just lost two high profile high paying jobs in less than 24 hours?? -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 16:34 2
- Brian Kendrick? He requested his release from WWE (as a part time wrestler/backstage producer) which apparently just happened. - Tim Feb 2, 16:40 1
  - ahhhh so wasnt canned at the WWE then - Jovian Feb 2, 16:42
Masked Singer suprise -- (link) - budice Feb 2, 16:32 4

  - one hopes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 17:19
- that's a lot of WHAT. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 16:37 1

Mmm, yes, this hockey game pleases me. - Reagen Feb 2, 16:28
Didn't expect this level of honesty in a GSA Auction listing - JD Feb 2, 16:28
LOL -- (link) - Jovian Feb 2, 16:08 1
- Ha! -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 16:20
Can we talk about the idiocy of playing a World Cup qualifier in Minnesota on February 2nd? Game starts in 45 minutes. It’s 2 degrees. Feels like -14. - Volnelk Feb 2, 15:46 16
- soccer is a winter sport. -- nm - mafic Feb 2, 16:32 1
  - This is not a lie -- nm - zork Feb 2, 16:57
- Who chooses the location because nearly anywhere in the south might have been a better choice. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 15:48 6
  - US picks the locations. Pretty far in advance but this doesn’t take much thought. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 2, 15:51 5
    - It makes no sense to choose outside in Minnesota in February. I would love to hear their thinking behind this besides wanting to make Central or SA -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 2, 15:57 4
      - There’s also a relatively new MLS franchise there, so US Soccer would likely want to support that by having them host a high profile match. - znufrii, exceeded expectations Feb 2, 16:20
      - That’s exactly why. The purpose of a home game is 3 points. Full stop. Freeze em. Mexico plays at elevation for their key games - Will Hunting Feb 2, 16:00 2
        
        It's an outdated tactic that goes back to when our best hope was to muck up matches, score a goal, and then hang on. We didn't have the talent to - JD Feb 2, 16:10
        
        But we're not a team of vikings. These guys aren't all from northern states that are used to being outside in the freezing cold all the time. - Krusty Feb 2, 16:03
- Home field advantage -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 2, 15:47 6
  - like Skipper on PTI said, this team is talented, moreso than their opponent so shouldn't have to do this - Beaker Feb 2, 15:48 5
    - Exactly. You should be able to beat Honduras anywhere. I think this hurts us just as much as them. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 2, 15:50
    - Yeah, they didn't exactly light things up in the cold last game. - Krusty Feb 2, 15:50 3
      - The argument is Canada can handle it but Honduras can’t. Shouldn’t matter. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 2, 15:51 2
        
        It's bush league garbage and I have to wonder who is getting paid for this game being in one of the coldest states in the union. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 2, 16:00 1
        
        Glad to see everyone catching up to my thinking on this. :) -- (link) - CinnaBaron Feb 2, 16:27 [Backboard]

What do you do when a historic bridge is in the way of your new superyacht? -- (link*) - znufrii, exceeded expectations Feb 2, 15:27 9
- "Let's build giant boats way up the river! I foresee absolutely no way this can present a problem!" -- nm - TWuG Feb 2, 15:46
- They could tow the boat to another shipyard *then* install the masts... -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 2, 15:44 1

- Is it time to pull out the old standby "they can introduce whatever bill they want, but it doesn't mean anything" excuse? -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 15:29 1
