Discovery+ is great if you have kids. Planet Earth etc., shark week and battlebots.

Messy second half with the rain and officiating, and we appeared to run out of gas and creativity around the 80 minute mark. Portland defended well in the box, we had like 10 or so corners and I can't remember getting any headers on goal. I guess we won't win every game this season by 4 goals which is bullshit.

I think it did hit his shoulder. Redes should not be taking corners.

And the second half will be played in a puddle.

Yeah, and not feeling good about the insistence to play short passes in tight spaces in our defensive third. I feel better about this team than last year's team with that shit. Not great, but better.

Stuver's head-to-toe magenta lewk is certainly bold.

Miami looks like ass my dude

Goddamn that was a badass sequence and finish.

I prefer this over the stripes.

Yeah spot on, I was shooting for something in the vicinity of Beach Boys and CSNY on that track.

I'm finally finishing up an album I've been working on sporadically since 2019. I had been creatively bankrupt for over a decade after some personal struggles and general malaise that crept in while trying to adjust to becoming an adult with a job and family. I don't think I finished writing a song from 2006 or 2007 until starting this project. My long-time friend and former bandmate and I decided we needed to put something together and FINISH it after leaving several projects in various stages of completion. So we started small with a folk/acoustic type idea that we thought we could put together in a short amount of time and produce ourselves. Life with kids and covid hit, and some of the songs got away from us and our original idea of keeping it "simple", and it ended up taking about 2 years to get the songs where we wanted them sonically. Then we took a while to decide we need to get it mastered professionally rather than do it ourselves, and that process took us into 2022. I had recorded some demos before, but this was my first time trying to record and mix something to release to the public. I'm happy with how it sounds and proud of a lot of it. I would have done completely differently if we started over today, but we have to move on to some other songs. The idea behind the music is kind of a spacey scifi interpretation of folk and a little bit of interplanetary gospel. We both grew up religious and were raised on church music, but neither of us are religious at all now, so it seemed like a cheeky way to incorporate some of our background into a new sound. The songs jump around a bit stylistically with a mix of acoustic, dense vocal arrangements, some tape recordings and other analog effects and some composed orchestral-sounding bits. We weren't trying to make something commercially viable, so some of it is self-indulgent and goofy and it won't be for everyone. I have tried to edit myself way more than in the past, but I have no designs on this hitting a wide audience. Maybe it could be used by a film student or something.

I have been avoiding wallets because I'm lazy. Any recs on hot and cold wallets to start storing coins outside of the exchanges? Are any more or less reliable? Could hot wallets become susceptible to something like what happened in Canada?

These uniforms are badass, I hope we get to see them a lot this year.

I started a Gemini account a few months ago to buy some BTC and ETH to sit on and watch how things work. Now I want to put some into a handful of altcoins, but Gemini doesn't trade a lot of them such as ADA. Is Binance a good exchange to jump into other coins or would you recommend something else? I liked Gemini because I didn't have to go through and get multiple wallets which I didn't want to bother with. What wallets/platforms do y'all use/recommend for someone just starting out?

I'm laughing my ass off anyone saying that with 14 seconds left and no timeouts, running the ball and falling down in the middle of the field and expecting the ref to be in perfect position to set the ball with 1 fucking second left on the clock is not a completely idiotic decision.

God fuck just end the game so I can turn it off, Jesus fucking Christ another penalty.

Yeah, I'm starting to become concerned about the numbers in House Hufflepuff, quite frankly.

Do you recommend a specific book or two to get started? Amazon had "A Handbook For New Stoics" on sale so I just grabbed it.

That's great but I've actually met Stewart Chuck Evans.

He'll go to aggy guys. Can't imagine how you can still hope for nice things after what we've seen with this staff.

That was a linebacker doing a football thing. TeXaS iS bAcK!?!
