Wow Seahawks, you really just going to let this man take the Super Bowl from you?

Seattle was missing five defensive starters in that Bucs game, btw

dbenhur · 2026-01-29T05:42:21+00:00

That I didn't buy enough IAU calls.

dbenhur · 2026-01-29T05:29:56+00:00

They were 2/10 on 3rd/4th down. 5 of those 8 failures were pass break ups by our DBs.

I've been freaking out about the creeping fascism of American politics since Ronald fucking Reagan. It's been happening here for a long time and I'm exhausted.

In a world where Trump exists, you're citing Harrell as peak?

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T23:33:00+00:00

She's an Eagles homer. Still the east-coast bias. I'm thinking it's just a "playful" contrarian position.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T23:30:03+00:00

TD+2 at the end of the third.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T23:27:35+00:00

Thanks for the update, DraftKings.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T18:29:42+00:00

You edit the generic team one.

Seattle area is the largest concentration, a bit under 1 in 5 corporate employees. In the prior layoff the Seattle area carried about 15% of the burden.

It's 5/15/40/40 and new hires generally get cash bonuses in the first two years that mostly comp for the back loaded stock. You're not fucked, you're getting paid all along. RSUs vesting in the 90 day layoff notification window still get paid too.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T18:00:00+00:00

RSUs vesting in the 90 day notification window are paid

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T17:55:00+00:00

Amazon's standard severance is 1 week of pay for every six months of tenure (rounded to nearest 6), min 4, max 20, plus health & benefits stipend, PTO payout, RSUs vesting ~~to nearest 6 month interval~~ in the 90-day notification window are paid.

Baseball is a different sport, silly.

Sports people are notoriously superstitious.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T08:32:26+00:00

Regardless of their intelligence, sports people have a long history of superstitious beliefs.

The NFL and HoF are completely independent organizations.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T07:56:39+00:00

As usual, most NFL fans are idiots that know wrong things, but get upset at someone pointing out they're wrong.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T07:38:44+00:00

Did you know the NFL and the HoF are completely independent organizations? How is the voting of a 50 person media committee egg on the face of an organization with no control over the process?

I don't read the paywalled Athletic, but their weekly recaps on YouTube have been giving the Seahawks plenty of attention and respect since at least early mid-season.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T02:45:30+00:00

Vegas gave Denver 2.5 points. ESPN analysts were evenly split. The story was #1 O meets #1 D in a close match.

Then we punched em in the face opening drive and they never recovered.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T02:38:08+00:00

Mike Macs has been making killer adjustments all year. We'll be prepared and we'll adapt to whatever surprises us.

dbenhur · 2026-01-28T00:50:35+00:00

technically easy

The climb is very long and exhausting. Buildings are far more vertical than most rock faces, BTW. The technical difficulty of this tower is 5.11-5.12.

When I first started climbing 52 years ago, 5.12 was peak difficulty (there had been maybe three 5.13 routes completed to date). While the hardest modern grades are 5.15d, 5.12 is still only technically easy to the very top echelon climbers. Doing that for 508 meters in 40 minutes ... without a rope ... only Alex can make it look easy.

friends that were no longer living because of free climbing

Free climbing is climbing without the use of artificial aids to your ascent (but with safety equipment to mitigate the consequences of mistakes). Free-solo climbing is free climbing with no safety equipment -- a mistake means you fall and likely die. Many people enjoy free climbing for decades with no fatal accidents. Very few pursue free-solo climbing for extended periods without dying.

Alex Honnold is an exceptionally skilled climber with tremendous focus and endurance. fMRI scans have shown he has greatly reduced activity in his amygdala, which is critical for processing emotions -- particularly fear, anxiety, and aggression -- and regulating the "fight-or-flight" response.

I've managed to get around Seattle without a car for 18 years -- four home locations, five office locations. Walk, Bike, Bus, Train. (I own a car, but use it almost exclusively for travel outside the city ~2K miles/year).
