Spent a few weeks in New Zealand last month and was obsessed with the meat pies. Went to this place like 5 straight days - tried most of their stuff😂
Favorite was chicken and mushroom

Full explanation in the article on the charts.

Then overlay that with individual game data.
Each of the colored lines starts on the x-axis corresponding to the attempt number overall for the year & on the y-axis with the Passer Rating based on the first attempt of the game.
This is what I had in my head to build. 💥

I spent way too much time on building this spreadsheet, but I had an image in my head & I'm really happy w/ it
Start with Caleb's cumulative Passer Rating over 2024 with all of his attempts (left).
(Passer Rating takes at least 80 attempts to stabilize)

It's good! Probably could use a little more time in the barrel but overall a solid offering. The "stewed cherries" from the tasting notes come thru

Yesterday, I finished the Pittsburgh Half Marathon for State #44.
This one quickly turned into "just finish" after a humid start. Enjoyed the city & the bridges!
The map is getting so close to completion & races are circled for the remaining 6. Crazy.

Roster before the '42 season. Notice the note in blue next to Young's name that he left for the war after the all-star game for the Navy.

The Jerk & Scotch Bonnet was my favorite but I will absolutely finish 9 of these bottles...
Da Bomb is a uniquely cruel concoction👹 #HotOnes

One of our international friends of the podcast just sent me a sampler of Swedish "snaps" to try, including "Besk" - which is the original Malort?
I told him I'd try it on air on Bear & Balanced. I'm also going to try and use part of it to make a cocktail.
Eager to try it!

This guy has commented the same thing 3 or 4 times on this article series this year.
I've never written anything that has irritated one person so much as to seek out the article just to comment that he hates it this much.
I'm really hitting my stride as a content creator...😂
