  1. Glad I got distracted and held off. Veilguard is free on PS Plus starting tomorrow.
  2. I'm not a finance guy by any means so I'd appreciate a brief tutorial if you've got a second. The $3.50-$6.95 range you're quoting is a collar, correct? Basically you're protected from nat gas price dropping below $3.50, but lose out on any upside if the price breaches $6.95? Would appreciate an example in that scenario of what exactly happens to you if the price hits $2.50 vs. if price hits $8.50.
  3. Saturday 2/22: 45 and raining all day long. Saturday 3/1: High of 82 and sunny. Late Winter in Texas y'all!
  4. You don't have to go far. 2 pearl-clutchers just on this page.
  5. Cam Smith greatest slugger of all time? Some are saying.
  6. Watched the first inning on lunch break at work. Paredes had a long AB ending in a full count BB in his first Astros appearance. Guy's got great plate discipline. Walker also took a 6 or 7 pitch AB that finished with a stand-up 2B off dead CF wall.
  7. Convince my parents to starts plowing every available cent into $3 shares of an upstart e-commerce website called called amazon.com For shits and giggles, start telling everyone I know about "my" theory that the present day is actually sometime around the year 2200, and "reality" is merely a complex computer program created to placate the minds inside the bodies being cultivated as battery power for intelligent machines. Watch heads explode when friends head to the theaters in late March.
  8. OH I know. This is something that happens once or twice a year typically. Just a slight twinge in my lower back that gets progressively stiffer over the course of the day and persists for the next 10 days or so. Only really bothers me when standing up from a seated position after a while or if I try to bend over and pick up something heavy. Epsom salt bath tonight. Gym tomorrow morning will just be a brisk walk on the treadmill for a half hour to loosen up and then do stretches. Taking the rest of the weekend off from doing much of anything physical.
  9. Cursed myself with this hubristic post. Tweaked my back doing kettlebell high pull this morning. Several days of stiffness and discomfort ahead. I'll still be able to hit the gym next week, but will not be able to go 100% until week after next at best. Gonna stall me out for a bit.
  10. Awful AI slop flooding social media is really starting to me piss off
  11. Bummed. Was planning to take a group of hometown buddies out to my lease Saturday morning. Been talking about it since November and finally found a weekend where all of us were free, which is very hard to do. Weather forecast this weekend sucks ass. Not gonna make it out of the low 40's and looks like guaranteed rain starting late afternoon and then hard rain Sunday for the drive home. Pretty much defeats the whole purpose of going out (ride around in the UTV's, drink beer out by the fire), so we decided to postpone. Hoping to try again sometime mid-March but who knows?
  12. One thing I've been really pleased with over the past 7 weeks or so is that I've finally begun to break through the plateau where I felt I stalled out for the final 3-4 months of 2024. More reps at heavier weights than just about ever before in my life, and I'm a few weeks shy of hitting 41.
  13. Weather app says it's 30 outside and 19 mph wind right now, producing a "feels like" of 17. Pass.
  14. Natty up 9%, touching $4.40 today.
  15. Another one. Took me a second. First minute and a half is a kind of gimmicky rockabilly number that just ain't my thing. 2nd half is epic. I really enjoy this band. Looking forward to the new album. March 21.
  16. I definitely enjoy these 2 fangraphs projections: Christian Walker: 31 HR, 97 RBI, 3.3 WAR Isaac Paredes: 25 HR, 84 RBI, 3.9 WAR Hell, that'd be like 2.5 seasons worth of 1B production for us lately.
  17. I agree. Plus, Chevron has officially moved its HQ from San Ramon to Houston. I imagine the 2000+ California-based employees will largely get wiped out. They're stretching this out through the end of 2026 and will start offering buyout packages this Spring, so it's not a panic move b/c they're in big trouble or something, IMO.
  18. Nice to open the door this morning to let the dogs outside and not have it already feel like 80 and muggy. It was basically late May in Houston this past week.
  19. One of my least favorite annual traditions, I'm sitting in my office hungover, just staring at the clock until I go drive my truck downtown to pick up our shit from the NAPE booth and lug it back to our building. 363 days until next time. Oh well, it beats actually having to go work a shift at GRB.
  20. Saw $2.88/lb Tuesday and Wednesday this week. They charge much higher prices on the weekends, but prices are already dropping fast.
  21. 3 identically mediocre teams atop the AL West.
  22. Hah, not me. Boss was asking if anyone wanted to go a landman happy hour thing last night. I emphatically declined. I've got 2 separate parties this evening that will keep me busy from like six to midnight, and then my firm's party tomorrow night that typically runs pretty late. I'm going to be barely running on fumes by the time I lurch my way out of an Uber towards my front door tomorrow night. I might not survive to see the weekend if I started NAPE week on Tuesday.
  23. If you lose money investing in bullshit peddled by an online "Alpha Male" influencer, you deserve absolutely zero sympathy.
