Technically guys that reliably pick losers are just as valuable as sharp guys. 🙂

Tatis might be dead. Reports are unclear. I can’t imagine that’s great for me.

Rays -110 Cardinals +111

I didn't like anything on a full slate yesterday, but I have two plays today... Angels -112 Giants +104 If you haven't followed the MLB thread in years past, my plays are laying a unit on dogs and laying to win a unit on favorites.

I think so, I was in the 5 spot before...though it looks like I'll probably be auto drafting, anyway.

It might be obvious, but on MLB season win totals...always check the rules of your sports books. It's even more important in a Covid world. My books vary from 162 games for action to 50 games for action (with the bet in that case being win percentage and not games), so my unders are bet at a book with 160 games required. If you're right on the Orioles, for example, and they suck...the likelihood of them missing a game is actually reasonably high. So, I'd rather have under 63.5 -115 at a 160 game book than under 63.5 +100 at a 162 game book. My overs are both on teams that should be relatively good, so the difference matters less, as they're much less likely to have games that aren't made up...so on those I picked strictly based on price.

I lied, one more... Rangers UNDER 67.5 -115

Also like the Twins so just grabbed them. Adding a couple more... Twins OVER 88.5 -115 Blue Jays OVER 86.5 -115 Reds UNDER 81.5 -110 That should do it for team win totals for me. I don't see much value at all in the futures market...for basically everything I lean toward, I can get a better price by shopping hot/cold streaks in season, I think.

First two MLB bets of the year (probably a couple more coming)... Orioles UNDER 63.5 -115 Marlins UNDER 71.5 +100

1234

I’d still be in there trying to nudge across the finish line before the heart attack set in.

Fireboard has their own fan now that comes with a BGE attachment, so you can one stop shop. But yeah, to answer the question...Fireboard and there isn't a close 2nd, IMO.

Somebody’s wife just missed the target at the car wash in front of me, even though there’s a giant mirror and an attendant giving hand signals. Cost me 90 seconds, could also be a trivial things that make me surly.

Family sharing allows two different accounts access to the same stuff, so if purchases fall under you after the account switch you can share with her and she’ll keep anything she needs.

I've never actually tried it, but the process almost certainly comprehends moving from a dead email account. So, I'd guess it will send a notification to your old email address that the account was changed with some "if you initiated this change you can ignore this email", and that notification obviously goes to nowhere for you. Even if you lock yourself out on the old machine, you still have the music...it just becomes more of a hassle to transfer it than automatically through the cloud (ie via external hard drive or something) and you'd lose the quality upgrading that iTunes Match gives you.

The best way to do this is to change the Apple ID on your XP machine to your Apple/iCloud account. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Then subscribe to Apple Music/iTunes Match (you don't have to keep it) to upload your entire catalog to the cloud. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204146 A big advantage here is any old mp3s of iffy quality that "match" will be replaced on your devices with Apple's (presumably higher quality) version. If you have more than one Apple device, it will automatically sync across all of them. Your other option is to just subscribe to Apple Music. It's $10 a month, feels like iTunes so you'll be familiar with it, and you have unlimited access to their entire catalogue...including for offline listening. I'm not sure about the offline capabilities of other services, I don't use Spotify and only use Pandora for basic streaming, Apple Music is what I use for airplanes and such.

I’m still in.

Fry’s has sucked since that Opal Devine’s was a seafood place.

Beating a pretty good team, a “blue blood” even if it’s not their best version, when you don’t play anywhere near your best is a good win. It’s college basketball, winning ugly is part of it.

I thought last time it was karma for calling it Lady Bird Lake. If it’s in Travis, I consider this serious.

I'm still getting charged for a vehicle that fell off my account (though we still own it...it just doesn't show up under vehicles). I also can't add make and models anymore, which seems an odd feature to remove. Nice progress we're making here. This isn't stupid at all.

We’re on day 3 of the internet being down. I’ve explained a couple of times how you’ll know when it’s back...cable modem will show more activity than single flashing light, Eero light will turn back white from red, etc. She thought we had a breakthrough because an Ethernet light was flickering and was relatively confused by the lack of service. All pretty normal chick tech shit, except she has a computer science degree.

Hadn’t played Forza 7 in a couple years but installed it this week in anticipation of being stuck inside. Haven’t had internet since Thursday morning, so it’s my best offline game option. A great game and the load times are nothing on the Series X...the next track in career mode is loaded up before you’re done reading the info screen.

I can see it both ways, but here’s my personal version. EE degrees, highly technical and fairly specialized, good at mentoring and people management, can explain hard technical concepts clearly. These are my strengths. I fucking hate project management and, because I won’t lift a finger doing it, have been (and will continue to be) terrible at it if you put me in that role. This is my biggest weakness. ”But Volente, you’re not interviewing for a PM role?” Welllllll, kinda. In 2021 we’re in a place where lots of electronics companies need engineers to review designs from low cost geographies, manage BOMs, and generally handle logistics of procurement and schedule, while doing very little design work. These come with engineering titles and good salaries, but it’s day to day PM work. I do not want such a job short of personal emergency. So, if I’m interviewing, I want to ensure that if there is a PM job hidden under the flowery prose of solving technical problems or managing people, that they clearly know I’ll suck at it because I’ll hate it. It is generally hard to get good engineers to take PM centric roles, so these are often intentionally disguised.
