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.

We stayed in the Hayes Valley area in 2016. Great central location to everything imo (although we weren't going to Santa Clara).

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.

Speaking of GOP shenanigans, Governor Big Brain is all in on removing "climate change" verbiage from state law and rolling back environmental regulations. Climate change will be a lesser priority in Florida and largely disappear from state statutes under legislation signed Wednesday by Florida Gov. ...

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...

One day in Epcot is a lot and with the unpredictability with weather - for flights and attractions closures - it might not be great idea.

I remember the days before email, way back in the 1980s. We used to go to OBX for two weeks. No phone at the house, although Dad had a state issued cellular phone in the van. He used to go to gas station to call back to his office (at Pitt) to check in. Maybe 1x-2x for the two weeks we were there. F...

Brandon Belt is still unsigned btw.
MLB.tv is a still a solid Google TV app. I haven't had a subscription in years, but it was always pretty solid, and it's easy to skim through the game and just watch Skenes pitch and the Pirates batters do things.

As we celebrate the biggest rookie debut today (potentially), let's not forget the failure of this org with Roansy Contreras who appears to be the odd man out (he doesn't have a locker).

Obama placed ads for the 2008 campaign in NFS based on geolocation. Honestly, I thought this would be more prevalent in gaming now.
