  1. The thing is that Peter Thiel has more influence with trump than Leon could ever hope. Thiel doesn’t like Musk. He won’t let Musk get enough influence. Leon’s thirst for attention will put him at odds with trump, who is more thirsty. On top of that Leon basically thinks he can play trump to run things, which will piss off trump more. You combine those things, you have a recipe for Leon losing favor with the Donald pretty quick.
  2. He rushed his shot just a touch. He had a little more time to make a better effort.
  3. I’ll bet a $1 that trump and Leon have a falling out before anything ever happens.
  4. Win or lose, this is a fun game
  5. Geez, that was a goalazo. Can’t be mad about that going in.
  6. Europa game day!!! I think we have an early kickoff in turkey.

    Starlink

    Alas parting is such sweet sorrow. I was able to get Spectrum at my parents house while visiting. Ordered yesterday, installed today. Cancelled Starlink not long after timing was perfect today was the last day of their billing cycle. Went from Starlink speed (at best 200/10) for $120 a month to 600/25 for $50 a month (promotional price). No regrets
  8. I don't see how he would ever control a significant chunk of the ISP market. Starlink is a great product, no question. But if I have any option other than starlink, I am not going to use Starlink. It's not cost effective. Starlink: 180/20 for $90 or $120 (depending on density) In Vermont: 300/300 for $75 I'm visiting my folks right now, Spectrum FINALLY is available to them 300/300 for $70, I am switching them as we speak. Starlink has it's place, but I just don't see how they are a significant player in the market.

    Starlink

    I'm visiting my folk's place right now. That storm last night made me discover a small blip of service. We had a power outage during the heavy part of the storm. it was pretty quick, like power out, power back on. But it knocked out Starlink long enough to need to reboot. Reconnecting took a lot longer than normal. Usually we're talking under 5 minutes, but we couldn't reconnect consistently for about an hour. So trying to connect in a rainstorm does present an issue. Sure, this is a very narrow edge case, but it's something. Speeds have come up to normal again
  10. We hosted a party yesterday inside and outside (smoked 2 briskets and fried a turkey). The temp topped off upper 50s. Overnight it dipped to below freezing today upper 40s. Another night of near freezing cold. I fly to Austin tomorrow and am taking shorts.
  11. And Maye throws a bad pick. Game over.
  12. A fumble leaves the Pats in the game. They only got a FG. Ran off a ton of game.
  13. Schooler with a monster hit in the kickoff.
  14. Talk about Hail Mary, because that was a real prayer.
  15. Yikes. The XP barely squeezed in
  16. TOUCHDOWN PATS as time expires.
  17. First down at the 4. Spike the ball with 8 seconds left.
  18. Pats are driving at the titans 15 with 28 seconds to play.
