Screw Pinna. Paid subscription only, but without a subscriber RSS feed so I have to use their dedicated app. And ios only. So my kids have to wait for the Android app before they can hear the last season of Mars Patel.

Fully appreciate and agree that unwanted pet names are awful.

Are you the guy who asks the designer to do your website for “exposure”? I bet you don’t pay your interns either

Weirdly, after the 2nd or 3rd restart, it went away and everything seems fine now. No clue.

Installed the update on my non-Verizon Pixel 3. Now I’m finding that bluetooth is unusable. Disconnecting and reconnecting, lots of static and garbling, audio cutting out. Have tried 3 different kinds of Anker earbuds + a soundcore.

Ok. I’m sorry I’m asking this. This story is terrible. I mean this story is not terrible. It’s a good story about something terrible. I’m sorry.

Also, “one of the good ones” and in favor of “fiscal conservatism and small government” are not compatible. Small government is code for keeping more of the money I made on the backs of working people and dismantling any kind of a safety net.

Whenever you guys embed just one tweet, my Chrome browser shows only half of it. It’s maddening when it’s a video, just annoying in this situation. But it’s been going on for a while, and I feel like other people have complained about it. Can y’all fix it?

I don’t have long hair, but my gf and daughter do. After every shower, we take the mesh drain out, clear out the hair with a piece of toilet paper, good to go for next time

The idea of prevention is a good one—if you don’t let hair go down the drain, you’re not going to have these problems later.

It’s also possible to do well at Jeopardy without being Ken Jennings. Those books helped. A lot. They brought me to where I definitely had an edge I didn’t have before. But they didn’t make me confident enough in every category that could possibly have come up.

Why? I’m perfectly happy with how I did, and I sure as hell wasn’t confident in everything

Other people have already answered this, and done it well, but for me at least, it comes down to wanting to get my worst categories over with early.

Double standard means the same thing, with the same context, gets inappropriately different reactions.

There’s an old Vonnegut story called The Big Space Fuck about this

I was 11, my shithead little brother was 10. We were playing one-on-one-with-Dad-as-the-QB touch football in the front yard. Not even keeping score.

Huh. I forgot that Sabathia WAS so good that year. I was a die-hard Cubs fan and a brand-new father of an infant. I was in the Wrigley bleachers the night Gallardo got his knee blown out on an infield play.

I was driving cross-country on Sunday, stopped in a Subway on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border with my two kids.

There’s this thing called, I swear to god, vaccine court.
