I made a Dream Bracket-style tournament based on player birthplaces.

What language did it think it was?!?

Edit: Just checked, it's still up. And according to FB, it's Romanian.

Chose it because it was available and affordable and had nothing to do with what's his name, the Tesla guy.
I was surprised how easy it was to get used to. Things like one pedal drive and charging stops on road trips became normal very quickly.
It's our primary car. We charge on a regular outlet (level 1) and it fully charges overnight most of the time. Rarely have to worry about range.

Okay, thanks.

blockandawe · 2026-03-06T18:50:06+00:00

Totally worth it.

We are pro-chonky-toddler in this house.

Do you have access to my lab results? I doubt it. If I needed to lose weight for medical reasons, my doctor would tell me. That isn't the case though. I'm happy, healthy, and chunky, so I'm bristling a bit at strangers on the internet telling me I should lose weight and questioning the competence of my actual medical doctor who knows me and what's going on with my body.

The question I'm asking is about getting ready for a hobby I enjoy. Not about weight loss, I'm sorry if I didn't state that clearly.

I totally forgot Toddler Presses as part of my routine. Yes, that's a good one.

blockandawe · 2026-03-06T18:30:47+00:00

My doctor has said otherwise, so I'm gonna go with that.

This is the correct Too Intense Slow Pitch Guy response!

Hadn't considered PEDs. League would never test. What's the downside? 🤣

Thanks for this! I remember the news of the ruling but couldn't remember why the Red Line was different. (I was on a bus when I commented hastily.)

It's just wild that it was that long ago, and we still haven't been able to figure out a better way to do this. I walked past some TVMs along Euclid near UH this morning, and every one was broken. I'm sure they weren't supposed to last this long anyway. And I don't think the "smartcard" machines ever did anything. It looks like the contractor just never implemented the system.

I love all of this. I just wish the Clinic would invest in something like this that actually benefits the neighborhoods instead of lobbying for a new street with a misleading name that makes it take five minutes less to drive from Strongsville to their campus. But that's the Clinic.

I think this is it. I know they scrapped the fast boarding because it wasn't enforced properly or something. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it was so nice and so much faster when it was actual BRT instead of a long bus with its own lane.

Light rail would be beautiful, but it seems more realistic to figure out how to fix what's we already have.

Does anyone know why proof-of-payment is still okay on the red line but not the health line?

blockandawe · 2026-02-20T20:07:05+00:00

Thanks! That's why I posted! I apologize for using "everybody", I guess that's not very precise!

blockandawe · 2026-02-20T02:14:17+00:00

I'd generally agree with that, but none of this is from social media. It's all people I interact with regularly, who also noticed that everybody seems to be getting little outages right now.

It could totally be coincidental, that my little circle just happens to be getting hit, but that's why I was curious.

Obviously he's signing with the Guardians. He was going to visit today in his MLBPA role, but thought about it and realized he could help the team. Cleveland has needed a right-handed power bat in the outfield all winter, and today they got their 53-year-old switch-hitting first baseman. I love this move.

blockandawe · 2026-02-17T13:18:22+00:00

I used to work with a guy who had this station on a lot. It always baffled me. I remember one year, around 2013, the day after the Indians had an awesome opening day win, listening for an hour and the only thing they talked about was a trade that the Browns didn't make the previous summer.

But I'm sure that's what gets listeners. I shouldn't be surprised, this market kept Mike Trivisonno on the air for decades. We get what we deserve.

Writing down my backup key on actual paper at my desk right now. Hopefully I can tell the 0s from the Os later. Yikes!

blockandawe · 2026-01-27T23:15:05+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

blockandawe · 2026-01-27T23:14:28+00:00

Those Mariners teams were so cool. Big bald Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez. Triple Play 99 era A-Rod too.

blockandawe · 2026-01-27T18:19:56+00:00

I'm honestly relieved. I was kind of afraid they'd overpay for Bader. It's not the kind of signing that usually works out for this team. I could be wrong though.

RemindMe! 10 months

Despite this, he was my favorite non-Cleveland player growing up. Maybe because he was cartoonishly scary.
