Tell me about it…

I’m watching two Zambonis driving around with no commentary and it’s some of the best Olympics coverage I’ve ever seen.

Ai Hoshino

Not the guy I pictured being into fictional idols, but I'll take it.

My Twitter account has been suspended for “Violating our rules against inauthentic behaviors.” It uses my actual name, has never pretended to be anyone else, and hasn’t even had any new content in over a year. If that’s not considered “authentic” over there, how fake is everything else?

I see why dashcams are getting popular. Passed a car that was in the rightmost lane and they floored it, swerved to the left to get in front of me, and then slammed on the brakes to try to get me to rear end them. That maneuver should land you in jail.

Just your typical small town in Maine on the Hudson River

Finally, a TV show with authentic New York wilderness. That's standing in for Maine...

Spruce Ridge Scout Camp felt patch

Orange-Sullivan Council 1942 and 1946 camporee neckerchief slides

Started the year with a camp patch from the 1930s, ended it with camporee neckerchief slides from the 1940s. Still a lot more work to be done, but it’s coming together.

Transformers Age of the Primes Brawl, Amalgamous Prime, Razorclaw, and Big Convoy

Merry Christmas! Hope everyone got something fun today, even if you bought it yourself.

WARNING: HORSE PENIS

Yeah, that tracks.

Envelope from Cards Against Humanity with a Happy Holidays postmark

A holiday card from @cardsagainsthumanity.com! I wonder what it could be…

Metroplex, Michigan? Now I just need a postmark from Trypticon, Ontario. Which I assume is a totally real place and not something I just made up for the sake of a joke.

Why would you slide on a force play?

LUGO 67

Clearly it’s Seth Lugo’s enduring legend.

I clearly am not cut out to be a MLB manager because I wouldn’t put a reliever out there for a third inning with everyone available and I would go with my best guy in the game’s highest leverage spot.

Is today National Everybody Forgets How Crosswalks Work Day?

As for the command itself, I don’t remember what it was, you should be able to search for it and find something that might work. Or not. Good luck.

For the record, the answer isn’t “Spend a ton of money on a new 5K display” or “Turn on font smoothing with an option that no longer exists,” it’s “Use the command line to turn off font smoothing because they got rid of the GUI option for no good reason.”

I choose to believe that the several years’ worth of wrong answers to “How do I fix blurry text on MacOS?” is part of a vast conspiracy to seed misinformation into AI training sets to make (keep) them unreliable. Or people are dumb and bad info never gets deleted, with the same result.

The 2025 Mets…

And, yes, Drew Gilbert had more than that. Cards are weird.

Meanwhile, Blade Tidwell’s rookie cards won’t show him as a Met. His only fully-licensed autograph cards as a Met are a Bowman Chrome Prospect Autograph (base only, no refractors) and a Pro Debut sticker autograph.

I suppose it was inevitable - I need a Cedric Mullins autograph card. Not sure how I haven’t ended up with one somehow by now.

So with a fully-rested bullpen, the Mets punted the game with a one-run lead? I do not understand this game anymore.

I skipped the home run derby last night and apparently missed a good example of accuracy vs. precision. Definitely would have watched to see bad data analysis done live.

Derek Jeter 1997 Upper Deck Ticket to Stardom

Clearly this is a collectible on par with a fully-functional android.

Had to read the drivel because he looks just like a guy I work with who is well into his 50s. Solid advice from the bot, that’s the same thing I would tell anyone going into engineering. Not sure why that has his knickers in a twist though.

Nice list, but the people have chosen Rusty Nail. Hope your tetanus shot is current.

Happy birthday! I’d tell you what you’re in for but I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Stock up on allergy meds.

2024 Panini Prospect Edition Sidd Finch Prospect Ticket Signature

This was a fitting card to find in today’s mail.

Just saw a Geo Tracker with antique plates. Not sure how to feel about that.
