You MFer. I was so excited to post this!

Anyone spend significant time in CDMX during the rainy season? Looking to see just how bad it is. The internet is everywhere from "deluge from 2pm-8pm every day" to "kinda like Florida with afternoon showers, but otherwise it's good." For context, we are heading somewhere once my daughter's school year is over in early June and coming back late August in time to get settled before school starts back up. Last year, we did Madrid with various side trips. This year, we're looking at CDMX vs. Barcelona or Tarragona. Been to CDMX twice, both times in the Condesa/Roma area. With two young kids, we may be looking Polanco this time. Kids are fluent, having been in 100% immersion since 12mo. old each, and I'm B2 and my wife is B1 in Spanish, so not too worried about getting around, even if we miss a subtlety here or there. Bigly wanting to do CDMX because of savings and time zone (remote work for me during the days, and the Madrid time difference was rough last year), but don't want to be rained out basically every evening after work for us and daycare for the kids.

How do I turn the subtitties off on the video? I'm, uh, working on learning Russian.

I don't quite agree. No doubt, if he has the Rivian, his time is more than the $200 that he will get out of you, so if he's a spiteful MFer, spite him right back. Presuming there was no damage to your vehicle, and there is a police report on file, before I pay it I would either (i) ensure that, because you only want to use the most trustworthy provider, you will only pay for provided it goes to a reputable body shop that reports to CarFax and AutoCheck or (ii) report it to your insurance, so he has to take it to an insurance-approved body shop (which probably reports), but just rescind the claim and pay out of pocket when the deductible issue comes up because it will likely be less than your deductible, so your premium doesn't go up depending on how insurance works in your state. The goal here is to diminish the value of his vehicle in the future by having an "accident" on record with CarFax/Autocheck, no matter how minor it is in reality.

So stupid like it used to be with Saban or Urban (not that Harbaugh is on his level). NFL types put out info to try and spin the situation in the light most favorable to the NFL/teams. Now that Harbaugh has an agent instead of repping himself, his agent is playing the game, too.

Agreed re America's A cities vs Euros and the HUGE gap after, say, NY/Chi/Phil/SF/(Mia?)/Bos?). But that road tripping / out west romanticism is some white people shit. I say this as a white guy that had the best summer of my youth as a 16yo traipsing around Montana with a new driver license -- try leaving major metro areas as a nonwhite and, especially, a black person, and there ain't nothing romantic about it. Best case scenario is stares and the weight of otherness. Had my mind blown by this road tripping twice between Chicago and Austin with my (black) brother in law.

One more thrust and that's a penalty on Jamaal Williams

Not full goon, but fun to see nonetheless. (backstory: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2022/12/20/detroit-lions-penei-sewell-breaks-down-viral-fans-bass-blocking-form/69745708007/)

I'm a Michigan alum and it's not particularly close. Shoe > Michigan stadium. We can rock sometimes, but not just about always like them. Stadium shape plays a role, too.

Trending up for both Michigan RBs....

Almost every fanbase is like 95% cool people you'd like to hang and knock back a few beers with, and 5% goons. Ohio State is the inverse. Go Blue!

Seven MSU players charged by the prosecutor:

Add in Michigan (10) and Northwestern (13) I think that makes a majority of the hallowed "Top 14" law schools that have opted out now.

Happy birthday to some of the proudest MFers I've ever met, and an especially happy bday to the marines this soldier drank with a bunch of times after training at MCAS Futenma.

I got my day started with morning nookie, kaszanka and eggs, [cloak room stuff], AND the Russians fleeing Kherson... damn near tears of joy over here! Now give those fuckers some ATACMS.

Michigan fan here. Will be pulling hard for y'all because (i) chaos helps ups our chances to get in as a one-loss team if lose a game to Illinois or OSU and (ii) would be nice to see Ewers develop like Burrow and have OSU people talking about what could have been again.

Never did Twitter due to how hard it is to follow, but have FB and Insta. I'm thinking not ever going in on Twitter is going to be like when I skipped over MySpace and was fine. TikTok TBD.

Last night, on Sunday night football, I saw Stefon Diggs -- alone, without any Bills teammates around him and with his helmet off -- jawing with the Packers CBs coming out of the tunnel. Made me think: "Gee, he sure deserves to be beaten with helmets."

No. That's shaggy[bovine].

Q: Visionary or Fraud? A: C U Next Tuesday.

Rare but extant, brah.

Our 4yo and 3yo fell asleep like this on Saturday night on the pull-out couch while watching movies. [Heart-Eye Emoji!] BTW, hang tight for those of you that are having a tough time. Ours are 19 months apart, so we had 2-under-2 for a bit. It may seem like it sucks now, but you'll probably reach a point down the road where you *wish* you could just wake up at 3am and rustle up a bottle to get them through the night and stuff like that. Or to have an hour or two just looking into your young baby's eyes, singing, shushing, while alternating between "damn, I love you so much" and "GO TO SLEEP MFER." Try to keep that perspective and realize that, like the cheesy song says, "you're gonna miss this." It's the advice we got many times over and it worked great for us.

Nope, just a blond guy with long hair. And the dumb jabroni that kept cutting people off. (My wife ran with me in 2012, though)
