Politics And Current Events
What is it called when a gas station chain advertises one price in the morning and it mysteriously rises by 28 cents for afternoon rush hour? These stations (Circle K) seem to do this a lot here. The other stations prices stayed basically the same.

I read, but couldn't confirm, that it was a 1979 (pre-embargo) Bell helicopter. Why they would have their president flying in a 45 year old helicopter without a secure replacement parts supply chain in place doesn't make much sense. Why not get a Russian or French helicopter?

I was excited about Davis' two homers, then read they were off a position player pitching. Ugh.

Bubba Chandler to the 7 day injured list down in Altoona, due to forearm tightness. Ugh. Hopefully TJ surgery won't follow.

I like how things used to be made to be able to be fixed, even smaller electronics like that.

My dad was halfway through organizing his 45s when he went into the hospital last year. I helped him with some of it, which was very cool listening to his memories of the songs and artists. We took a handful after my mom died and we cleaned out the house, but haven't had the heart to really sit and ...

Just added my 15 year old to our car insurance policy. It was $533 a month for the three of us with three cars, now with 4 drivers and 3 cars, it will be $740 a month. Good times.

That was from a hail storm up there. It's probably vinyl siding, which is popular down here because it's cheap.

I remember destructive tornados and then being told "oh, noooo, those were actually microbursts" as if the flattened house cared if there actually was a funnel or not. I'm in a local (to me) Facebook group that has a lot of northern transplants in it. Periodically, someone asks about homeowner's in...

That's all my kids do on Madden and MLB the Show, are MUT and trading cards or the equivalent. They don't build teams and only recently do they build a player in The Show. It's all completing challenges to get fantasy players or whatever it's called. Very shallow imo, but they are the target demo.

Maybe it's my old ears, but the sound quality from a SiriusXM car unit is poor. Like at best CD quality, which sounds tinny and processed compared to Apple Music. Someone on LGP gave out their login/password info years ago, and I still use the app from time to time. App quality is a little better, b...

Roansy traded to the Angels. Return is unknown, but it would be funny if they got Cole Tucker back (not sure why they would but lol)
Also, RIP to the six man rotation. Priester optioned, Mlodzinski activated.

Everbank is at 5.16%. It's (currently) part of my retirement investment company (TIAA), so it's very easy to track and monitor as it's on the same platform.

I overheard the funniest conversation about Starbucks the other day. My wife and I were eating at a (local) pizza place. A guy was there waiting on a to-go order, and mentioned to the cashier about the new Starbucks across the street. And how they have one near every college campus and how stupid it...
