A good friend of mine who’s a sports fan once said, “sports is a waste of time.” I think of it once in a while when my favorite team is at the tail end of a loss. It helps a bit.

Seeing the sign that a fan made mocking us about the last win against them made my blood boil. Hopefully Elko has that on loop for next year.

My Texas grad sister just sprinkled a dose of “karma’s a bitch” at me about that today, and, honestly, I have no comeback for that.

Dunno about games but watching the original Tron on it was a gem.

Actually, I’m in a good place this year and more calm now regardless of the result. In fact, the only worry my wife has when my family comes over is my brother in law’s yelling at the TV because he believes he can coach his Texas team to victory.

I remember an interaction in college when a couple guys in a truck rolled up next to a woman in a car in the street in front of me. The passenger rolled down the window to talk to her. When she didn’t respond, he gave her the finger out the window as they drove off.

Maybe he’s saying they need to make more improvements to Electron. Because we all know it can be a resource hog when we need more compute.

Yeah. If you value stability, I can understand staying. However, I stayed at my last company for 15 years thinking it was stable and got the rug pulled under me.

Welp. Just looked it up. That just killed a 20+ years of relationship with Halo for me.

when I was a member of Society of Physics Students in college, we would have an alumni come in give a talk on their work once in a while. We had one come give a talk on the physics and mathematics of traffic flow. It was fascinating.

No sleepover yet but my wife showed me a brief video of a movie party our daughter had with her friends and, I’m scared.

Ha. Last time I wore HAs, rechargeables wasn’t even on the market. Fun times when they die and I’m running around the house looking for batteries.

About Us said it was founded in 1875 but now I realize they were just trolling me. 😆

I'm upset I did not know about this publication when I was a student there. My only source of newspaper humor at the time was basically the comic strip in The Batt feature a student from Rhode Island explaining to everyone they met that, NO, he does not know everybody in RI.

Oh yes. That brings back memories. I loved that game but couldn’t really articulate why and you nailed it. It’s also the game that I couldn’t finish because the final boss was so difficult and I didn’t want to deal with it anymore. But I think that’s okay.

I had to watch the video twice to get the full understanding of it. Even then, the American "Christianity" is weird to me, especially when they get involved with politics.

Even growing up with my father being Baptist minister and being into a very religious family, I never really felt right with it and, it wasn't until college that I finally was able to somehow get away from it. I can tolerate it, yes, but when family and friends try to "preach" their faith to me...

I agree only because we finally got past the Auburn game. That matchup always makes me wary.
