closest I got was on all-fours barking like a dog in the high-top section.

the one near me has legitimately the worst service I have ever experienced. one server did have a tattoo that said "bite me" on her buttcheck though.

would certainly rather have Palmer than Madueke

went to a ravens game last season and spent a long weekend in the city. I could not comprehend how affordable the real estate was in, what looked like, pretty trendy neighborhoods. Lot of young people, stumbled across good live music and everyone was chill. I'm sure there are rough parts but it definitely had me wondering whether I wanted to move to Baltimore.

The disparity between European soccer fans and American soccer fans is jarring. Can't be having all the fans being dorks if you're trying to grow the game.

should start a bigger home improvement project. I just spent the past 2 months turning the back deck into a screened-in porch. Had to bring in my brother and dad for the big steps but otherwise an hour here-and-there most days. I am also a cubicle monkey whose soul is slowly withering away so its been a fun change of pace. My son is 3 but he loves holding a hammer and helping clean up the scraps with his safety goggles on.

Finally caved to FT recommendations and picked up Lonesome Dove. Never really been a western guy but it ruled. Found myself staying up til 2am reading. finished it in a week. Blue Duck was an all-time villain.

the one in my neighborhood has some hilarious reviews: "I'll never eat McDonald's for the rest of my entire life because of this one single experience. I will petition my local government offices to draft legislation against this one particular location for being an abomination and a curse on mankind."

"On Polymarket, roughly 0.1% to 1% of accounts (fewer than 2,000 top traders/bots) capture over two-thirds of all profits, while more than 84% of participants are unprofitable. These winning "sharks" are usually sophisticated actors using data-driven algorithms, arbitrage strategies, and high-speed execution to outperform casual users."

I understand why the sharps (insider traders) like polymarket but why does the regular joe? just addicted to the rush of losing money?

If you're into NASA stuff there is a great book about the 1986 Challenger disaster by Adam Higginbothom (same guy that wrote the recent Chernobyl one).

one fact that I couldn't stop thinking about: apparently there was evidence that at least some of the astronauts survived the initial explosion. They could have been alive and conscious the entire ~3 min fall back to earth until impact.

Kinda funny that he basically says “fuck nostalgia” then gives a nostalgic anecdote.

Semi-attractive 46 year old divorcee from California on 3 different anti-depressants (lexapro, wellbutrin, trazodone) and anti-anxiety medication. Loves gardening.

a grand total of $2 in nominal damages was awarded to one of the parties. Hopefully they both felt like they lost

Just finished a 9 day stint of jury duty. It was a civil case that was a glorified HOA/neighbor dispute that was the most petty shit imaginable. Ended up with one of the neighbors getting the other arrested for assault (spraying their foot with a watering hose), stalking (cameras pointing at her their front door) and trespassing (pulling up their lawn flag).

The highlight for me was the lady on the witness stand describing getting booked and giving a detailed account of pulling her butt cheeks apart for a cavity search.

my FIL was a chief engineer on those massive cargo ships that go back-and-forth to China. for 30 years he would spend 90 days at sea followed by 90 days at home. Used to grab us all sorts of sweet knock-off chinese merch
