The Swamp

Well, I bought mine used and I try not to think about Elon too much when I drive it. There were lots of lots good engineers who really deserve the credit that everyone loves to give him. And for the most part, he built those things before he took that crazy right-turn a few years ago.

I had to drop my Model Y at the Tesla service center this weekend (the battery suddenly stopped charging). The first vehicle I saw in their shop being worked on was a Cyber Truck. Thing couldn't have been on the road for long before that.

Jesus, that's awful. "I'll have nothing." What a toddler.

Holy shit, Cole Palmer. Thank you, City! And with his 4th goal, he's now tied with Haaland for first in the PL! Nobody would have guessed that anyone on Chelsea would be challenging for that. He's also one assist shy of tying the league lead there as well. Hell of a season for the Brit-looking lad!

Holy shit, Cole Palmer. Thank you, City!

Anyone else suddenly beset by a variety of MAGA and other conservative ads? It just started within the last week. Before that, it was mostly Liver King, various stupid dropship products, and dumb phone games (I actually still get these). My favorites are the ads for games with reader's notes that s...

Woohoo! I figured he's got the greenest light of all, no matter how off he is on any given night.

Steph Curry?

The wife and I just watched that movie Saturday night. I enjoyed it as well. It was extremely Guy Ritchie.

Jeez, just looked at the leader board. What happened to Tiger?

Is there a more frustrating experience in modern life than trying to log into a site and it tells you the password is wrong.

Great question. And I agree that increasing the size of the court - and possibly the lane - would help. It's kind of wild to think about the size of players today compared to when the court size was decided. Obviously, there are logistical issues with increasing the size of courts at some older gym...

This'll make you think.

I'm trying to figure out where the 4th foot is. And the logistics of two sets of functioning genitals. Did he pee out of both? Did both drain the same bladder? I guess his brain was able to figure out how to control all of that?

From the outside, it seems like a pretty smart hire. BYU finished with a better rating than Kentucky this year. Guess which team had better talent? And BYU plays that ultra-modern offense of a ton of threes and layups. I think they were #4 in the country in the % of their shots from the 3pt line. I...

That's not the largest chest of drawers! (I don't think) I didn't realize there were two options in High Point.

I couldn't love Alien or Aliens much more. They're both brilliant movies. But I haven't really liked a movie in the series since. Alien 3 was a huge disappointment. Prometheus was better, but still wasn't that good. It certainly didn't live up to the hype. I hope they get this one right. I'm curious...

I don't know my most quoted movie line ever, but that's in contention. I've seen the whole movie, but never in sequential order. There's one scene where they start a scene in the huddle on the face of a Vietnamese guy I grew up with who was in extra in the movie as an OL. I hope he didn't get typec...

They certainly had at least one elite athlete. That putback dunk in the second half was one of the best I've ever seen.

It was a bit of a roster problem at Chelsea. The team was up and down during his time, with a number of different managers. But the one position they constantly had surplus in was wingers. It was hard for any player to get consistent minutes there. That said, I think Chelsea should have played him m...

I've been to the World's Largest Chest of Drawers many times. It's the facade of a huge furniture mall. NC in general and High Point in specific used to be the center of the US furniture manufacturing. I don't think that's really been true for decades now, but I think several furniture companies sti...

Purdue is playing really well. And still losing. Not a great sign.

Went out on the beach to watch it. We got to about 75% here. It was a mostly cloudless sky, and honestly, if you didn't know it was an eclipse, you probably wouldn't have been able to tell without the special glasses. It was a bit darker than a full sun day, but not obviously so. We didn't prepare, ...

I suspect there’s something potentially disastrously scandalous coming down the pike. A top coach doesn’t just leave UK. If it’s money, I would think Cal has enough cachet to get them to match any offer. Cal does tend to leave one step ahead of the executioner (the NCAA), but in this case, I think ...

Yeah, that's pretty huge. I don't think Cal leaving is a huge surprise, even if it is big news. Going to a conference rival is a surprise though. The next domino will be interesting. I have to think that Hurley and Oats are at the top of UK's list. I don't think Danny's going anywhere, but I'm sure ...

I can't remember if I mentioned it, but we got a Tesla Model Y back in December. My wife drives it since I work from home. We got it used and it came with the Advanced Autopilot, but not Full Self Driving (FSD). Tesla released a new version of FSD last week that is apparently a huge improvement. As ...

The problem is that the replay they showed on TV didn't show the UConn girl's legs and was at an angle where it wasn't easy to see her movement. So it was easy for everyone to declare it a bad call. Especially because nobody wanted that possession to end on an offensive foul. But the live shot from ...

She looks different than I remember

I think her biological alarm went off.

Holy shit!!!

Cold Fucking Palmer

Classic Chelsea. No lead is safe.

That's wild. I wonder if that happening on such a big stage led to so many coaches auto-sitting any player with 2 fouls in the first half. Some coaches will let a player get his 3rd, but leaving a star in with 3 fouls in the first half? That's criminal negligence.

This vid from Taiwan is wild.

Yes, but those teams generally have much more continuity from year to year. There's no rule that says you can't say on a soccer team for more than 4 years.

I don't know how closely the tournaments all work together, but if they set the NIT as an autobid for next year it would probably stop teams from backing out or not caring. I think that's a bad idea though. Teams change a lot from year to year, especially now with the new transfer rules. Why would ...

Yeah, I think it works. Ironically, that's the one song she takes no songwriting credit for even though she clearly rewrote most of it.
