Reallllly starting to question the wisdom of enjoying baseball for the first time in a decade. I was told the games were shorter now?

Look, the gold is tacky, but as someone who redid a kitchen in recent years, Saddam was low-key ahead of the curve on granite patterns.

Me: "A fact I am sure of is that my breakfast this morning was an egg, crackers, a banana, some oatmeal and fruit, and coffee with oat milk. Another fact is that the Apollo program landed spacecraft on the moon six times between 1969 and 1972."

My primary care physician: "OK."

[sighs deeply in global news brand running story about Northern Virginia data centers that misspells Loudoun multiple times and has a lede that says you can hear the hum when you cross into the county...]

A chart from a rooftop solar energy chart showing electricity production and consumption since midnight last night.

We are less than 36 hours into being a rooftop solar household, and I have greatly underestimated my interest in electricity data about my own home.

Do people like Geese (the band, not the pesky poop producers)? (Also not Goose (the band) which must never come up in conversation about Geese (the band) ?)

Proud to say Iโ€™m a middle aged man and I know what my tattoos mean, plus I know which of them could be misinterpreted in one particular region of the US, and now that I looked it up, I know which โ€˜90s rock star has a similar tattoo and that last part is mildly shameful but itโ€™s fine.
