Enjoyable game and good atmosphere but what a dreadful stadium

It's fake. It's a 30k seat stadium temporarily expanded to 45k for the WC.

Even pre face-lift it's still not the best. Fun atmosphere for MLS games though.

My concern is these developments cause Putin to escalate with a tactical nuke on a Ukrainian frontline city within the next couple of months.

Hilarious/horrifying case out the District of Missisippi, where both sides were submitting AI drafted papers on the same set of motions.  Basically, AI arguing against AI, replete with hallucinatory legal authorities on each side.

The court tossed all the lawyers off the case and postponed the scheduled trial.

Read the thread.
