POG PUB 2025-2026: About damn time. For a lot of things. But not everything.
Happy New Year, everyone.
I'll let you all mentally fill in the categories in the title.
generally speaking, definitely. but it matters who says it, and how it's done.
it really is just that simple
I tried the new Adam Schwartz podcast but i found OBD more obnoxious than Negreanu and that's saying something.
I have multiple weaknesses that preclude my doing well on Jeopardy!
All aspects of my geography are extremely weak. Vexillology. Heraldry.
I haven't watched Jeopardy! for years, I assume they still ask about heraldry.
wow sick!
somewhere atakdog is feeling a twinge calling him to the pub
my old place in santa Monica mountains had tons of birds. and just about everything else too. weirdly not many raccoons. I guess the coyotes kept them away?
I miss seeing all the hummingbirds in California. I only see a few a year here. Usually with their beaks in a hosta flower.
Hummingbirds are great because they don't gaf about humans and will come to a feeder while you're sitting there. Their little helicoptery flight patterns are full of whimsy.
Also between a coyote and a raccoon my money is on the raccoon. No coyote has ever barked at me.
Juvenile Robin in my yard let me walk right up to it I was worried it couldn't fly but no it's just resting its wings.
What was it, two years ago when ai video of will smith eating pasta looked like two hedgehogs in a sack?
Was parallel parked in town this evening. Finished dinner and came back to 3 police cars parked next to us. A car crashed into the parked car two behind me!!! They must have been moving at a good clip because the hood and front was crushed. My minivan was fine (whew, lol).
about how much have you paid per mile on the minivan?
I remember one time calculating how much my bicycle cost per mile, and it was shockingly high. I think more than a car. but I had an expensive(for me) bike. it cost like 1400 25 years ago.
but even just maintanence on a bike is expensive per mile.
iirc it was something like 12 cents a mile. and I rode a ton, probably like 50 miles a week.
yeah I could put maybe 30k miles on the bike. and it cost 1400, plus ten years of maintenance, maybe 3k... so 4400 dollars. 7 cents a mile.
maybe I paid more for maintenance. maybe I rode less. I don't remember.
I don't know the exact amount but it's expensive. I remember a few years ago calculating that gasoline isn't my dominate expense.
My Tesla has 45K miles and will soon need new tires. That is going to hurt.
