@drvolts There is a shelf in my emergency food supply cabinet which I refer to as my strategic condiment reserve.

@ejoep Oh no! What disappointing news. Closing that stretch was the best thing to happen to Pearl Street in a quarter century.

@drvolts @chrislhayes @mattyglesias @jbouie Go chat with the folks at @GoFamilyCyclery. Great people and great bikes. I think cargo bikes with the cargo area in front are amazing. (Bullitt, Packster, Load, etc) More utility than a car for most situations.

@BentonRochester Yep. I have a function key there that makes jikl arrow keys and a bunch of other tweaks.

How many of you have mapped your caps lock key to something else?

@rainiertaco @JeremiahOshan If it was 1.00, it’s not any more.

Gonna need the xG on this one. twitter.com/onesoccer/stat…

@tdierks I have same problem and I lean into it by wearing one like this because it’s so ridiculous I assume people will presume it’s strictly functional.

Is there any hat a man can wear in sunny weather for functional reasons without it looking like an affectation? Is a baseball cap the closest option?

@BentonRochester Cross my heart and hope to die!

@jdierks Ha, no way. I smell a bluff.

Have you ever won anything?

@BentonRochester It was my daily driver for about two years. Parking a car at my work was a pain but I just stashed the bike in a closet at work which was super convenient. Lately I’ve been riding less frequently but hoping to get back into this spring.

@jdierks That’s cool. We didn’t spring for the electric but one may be in our future. How often are you riding it?

New whip. Not ready to trade the truck in yet but I can at least reduce driving to a few times a month

@BentonRochester Electric bikes are such an amazing life hack. Removes all the excuses not to ride (getting sweaty, wearing the right clothes, ‘too tied today’, etc etc).

@BentonRochester The steering takes a few minutes to get used to, especially at very slow speeds, but after that it’s not that different than a normal bike.

@jdierks That’s awesome! I have always wondered how those handle?

@JeremiahOshan Same problem here. If you use iOS try correcting the wrong spelling to the right one in Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement.

It's extremely cool that autocorrect keeps changing my child's name to another similar name. Doesn't make me look like an asshole, at all.

@RossFletcher1 @SoundersFC Next I hope they invent putting you back on the broadcast.

Did you know, @SoundersFC invented MLS clubs winning the Concacaf Champions League 😀

@JeremiahOshan Would have been a red?

That was going to be a handball if it hadn't gone into goal.

@JeremiahOshan I nominate you for Editor of Civic Sporting Infrastructure at @UrbanistOrg

I will note that it’s never been easier to bike to Lumen field!

@JDB_219 @MattDoyle76 While still being a USMNT bench warmer, of course.

@MattDoyle76 The best thing for the Twitter discourse is Cristian Roldan holding the CCL trophy in one hand and the Golden Ball in the other.

People from non-Seattle teams tweeting stuff like this have no idea how this would unleash Sounders fans. It’d be like 2009-11 all over again, true rein of terror stuff. Modern MLS fans might be too soft for that.

@sounderatheart Is the team running the event and setting ticket prices or is concacaf?

#sccl attendance record is 66k or so. Think we can break that?

Sounders will host their leg of #sccl finals on May 4. sounderatheart.com/2022/4/14/2302…

@andrew_wiebe @Extratime I would like Gonzalo on the record about who he’s rooting for.

We’re taking @Extratime on the road to Seattle. Only right that we should be there. #CCL

@JeremiahOshan That quick give and go to Jordan unlocked both goals.

Full sequence of Sounders’ first goal showed sone impressive defensive work.
