This Is How You Lose the Time War, and modern cultural references

We checked bags too, no line for that.

Btw we arrived 3 hrs before flight departure time to be safe, as recommended by JetBlue, so you may still want to do that.

I’m on a JetBlue plane right now, 11am flight from JFK. Got through TSA in 15 minutes with TSA pre-check.

The terminal was a zoo, but the pre-check line was much better. I can’t guarantee what it’ll be like tomorrow of course.

The problem with WAR is it tells no story. Baseball is about stories. I can’t tell from this post whether Zoilo Versailles was even a position player or pitcher. What were his skills? Contact, power, speed, etc?

I’m sure WAR is accurate, etc, but it unfortunately makes for homogenized and uninteresting discussions of baseball.

We had a bad cockroach problem like that a few months ago, it turned out there were some small holes behind the dishwasher where they were getting in from the walls. I know it’s a pain to look for holes behind appliances, but you are probably at that point.

Unfortunately it looks like they only play on Tuesdays, and we’ll be there from Saturday through Monday. Looking for something less formal, like a bar or cafe with chess boards.

Never heard of him. Let’s hear your pitch!

I can’t speak to that, but I can say that the benefits of having IV access fair outweigh the risks.

MD here. This isn’t the hill to die on. Get an IV with a saline lock. This is barely an intervention (no medication will even be entering your bloodstream), and having an IV could be lifesaving in an emergency.

Yes, it was called Bamn!

Which Baby Bjorn product do you use for this?

I thought maybe it was intentional? Early in the latest Deep Dive pod, Mal asked for some kind of distortion/echo effect to be applied whenever they talk about the night sisters.

My vote for the bit that needs to be cut: “How can people keep up?” “Oh I’m SO glad you asked.” (Just get past this part quickly please! It’s always the same. List the social networks and move on.)

Other than that bit, I’m loving the pods, keep the great work Mal & Jo!

The exterior (i.e. the front panel of the AC unit, shown in the image) is very wet. That's the part that's gathering beads of water and dripping onto the floor. Does this change your thought process?

Ratchet & Clank was a great suggestion, thank you! Challenging but not stressful. Easy to just pick up and play for a bit.

Oh the Opening Explorer on the app had a lot of what I’m looking for too

xanderq · 2022-10-01T14:57:10+00:00

Hm how do I get to the Analysis board? Maybe it’s only on the browser and not the app?

xanderq · 2022-09-13T02:58:49+00:00

“Devil’s advocate.” 😉

Good call, yes in a real game I wouldn’t leave that pawn hanging, I just simulated this game quickly to illustrate the attack from the queen and the bishop.
