BBQ and a good IPA.

Its really hard to go winless though a season.  Even the worst teams manage to fall into a win or two most seasons.

Kirk is a good guy but he is no transcendent QB

The misogyny is real.

Thinking about getting riding lawn mower.  Any recommendations?  Should I use Lowe’s/Home Depot or local dealer?

My old man was the small engine guy at an Ace Hardware and if I was going to buy gas powered lawn equipment thats where I would shop.

Even after he retired it was still the best service Ive ever had with that kind of equipment and the franchises tend to be locally owned.

Did a smoked reverse sear picanha in a Weber kettle this weekend

2 hours in 220 degree mesquite smoke

Hard sear

Welp...

Add Wendy's to the places I no longer do business with.  Im under no illusion that I alone will have any impact but hopefully enough folks feel the same way and will stick to their guns.

One of the guys I have played with for years when saying he didnt feel it was a game the group would enjoy said the following

For me it managed to be both sort of boring--just stand there and shoot--and pointlessly complex--special abilities require hitting 5 keys in a particular pattern.

Apple fans are starting to return their Vision Pros

For some Apple Vision Pro buyers, the honeymoon is already over.

 

It’s no coincidence that there’s been an uptick on social media of Vision Pro owners saying they’re returning their $3,500 headsets in the past few days. Apple allows you to return any product within 14 days of purchase — and for the first wave of Vision Pro buyers, we’re right about at that point.

Comfort is among the most cited reasons for returns. People have said the headset gives them headaches and triggers motion sickness. The weight of the device, and the fact that most of it is front-loaded, has been another complaint. Parker Ortolani, The Verge’s product manager, told me that he thought using the device led to a burst blood vessel in his eye. At least one other person noted they had a similar experience with redness. (To be fair, VR headset users have anecdotally reported dry eyes and redness for years.)

“Despite being as magical to use as I’d hoped, it was simply way too uncomfortable to wear even for short periods of time both due to the weight and the strap designs. I wanted to use it, but dreaded putting it on,” says Ortolani, who also posted about returning the device.

My wife started watching the games with me at the start of the 2015 season. What a fun season to introduce her, though.

Mine joined me in watching in '03.  She got quite the introduction to the sport.

Im hoping they show Tay-tay between every play, that Usher has her on stage, that she is on the winners podium with Travis, and that she makes some political statement from the podium.

For a game where I dont really care about either team what Im rooting for is a complete meltdown by the anti-swifties.

Cam or Jake.

I mean, am I the only one who can't tell the difference between 4K and 1080p? Maybe it's a little bit clearer of a picture but nothing worth paying extra for.

No you are not.

The incremental difference is well past the point of diminishing returns.

By the time I have any say the animals were raised, butchered, transported, and prepared for consumption.

It would be unethical to let that creature die for nothing so I do my part.

My immediate supervisor cant fire me.

We have an organizational org chart where I report to their boss.

We have a functional chart where I report to my supervisor.

Especially at the Sr Director/VP level and up there tend to be a lot of dotted lines in the org chart.

Fretting over an org chart is some pretty "I need to be mad at something so I choose this" energy

They report to the person who can terminate them.  Its basic corporate structure.

Who do you blame for being the worst team in football and Chicago getting the first pick?

Coaches

Players

Training staff

ya know, the people who were directly part of what they put on the field

VCRs filled a niche none of us knew we needed filled at the time.  Brand new technology that enabled households to time shift their favorite programing so that it fit better into their lives.

Google Glass and 3D TVs are a better comparison as they were iterations on existing tech that didnt really bring new and impactful change.  This headset will end up on the same trash heap.
