Waking up in a tent on a coldish morning, getting out of your sleeping bag can be the hardest thing ever. But the lure of hot coffee and hot chocolate is strong too. And of course, nature calls. In more ways than one.

⚽ Seen the size of the Dutch goalkeeper? How are you expected to get anything past him?
⚽️ I’ll miss the Argentina - Australia and the France - Poland matches because I’m taking my son on a camping (organized) trip we had planned and booked three months ago. They better be boring matches.
May I have smore please?

⚽ The US needs a win to advance, but Iran needs only a draw. That's exactly the recipe for an exciting match from the US perspective. ¡vamos!
⚽️ Pulisic may not be having kids in the future but if that’s what it takes for the US to win 🇺🇸
⚽ US needs to score one more. The Iranians scored two in stoppage time against Wales. This time they need just one.

Currently, I get any Twitter/Musk news only if I go to The Verge or Twitter is going great. And I’m trying my best not to.
Timemator’s auto-tracking doesn’t work in the Arc browser. It does in Safari and Firefox. With the Drafts Quick Capture not working in Arc either, I’m starting to lean back toward Safari.

I’m glad we get a preview of our weekly newsletters before they are sent out so I can edit out all my ⚽️-related heat-of-the-moment posts I make via Status.LOL.
Yes, new people on Micro.blog, your readers can subscribe to a newsletter, so you don’t have to be here always.
⚽ Is Germany going to be knocked out of the group stage...in consecutive World Cups? 😳
The penny bucket challenge in R’s Math class to demonstrate the strength of triangles. His group managed to stuff 159 pennies and we’re narrowly edged by another team who got to 171.
I’m surprised that IFTTT doesn’t yet have Mastodon under “If”. I want to copy my Favorites and Bookmarks elsewhere.
