mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
Yeah, the Stevens faceplant is the bottoming out of my fandom for me. They weren't back on track, really, until Moose Hedberg and not really until Sid and Geno joined the team.

I make smoothies a couple of days a week (although I am on a no carb diet right now, which includes no or not much fruit. 18 lbs down in 5 weeks, but I'm missing peak local strawberry season, boo). I use 10-12 ounces of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, frozen blueberries/strawberries, peanut butter ...

In related news, I'm still pissed YouTube TV didn't get MLB Network back.

Tax Season
It is an IRS LTR 2645C, the most vague notice from the IRS. It says it is reviewing our account and they need 60 more days. They don't need anything from us. If you need further information, write or call. And then it's signed by some Return Integrity Verification Operations director. We filed with ...

Informed Delivery says we have a letter from the IRS coming from their Kansas City office today. Taxes were filed back in February and the refunds are long since spent. What in the fresh hell is this? Is it because we have a minor that is an adult (as of today)? Is it an audit? Something to do with ...

My son turns 18 today. So right at midnight this morning, my wife started getting all kinds of emails from various health services we've used over the years stating that she only has billing access or reduced access because he's now an adult. Yikes. I mean, obviously, but the suddenness was a little...

Unfrosted isn't going to win any awards, but it's certainly isn't "one of the decades worst movies". Felt like an oversized SNL skit. More weird than funny and playing on a TON of surprising cameos for humor, but it wasn't unenjoyable. 5/10 Yeah, this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I laugh...

Oh yeah, it's very clear that he doesn't have an in with the front office any longer.
I remember Chris Burnside being a dodint about Mario not talking to him back around the earlier Sid-Geno-Tanger Cup years. Same energy.

Thread of Cellphones
I look at it as a no interest loan. I preferred the 24 month payments, but the phones are much more expensive so 36 months is the way. If you go with the 15, you'll need USB-C chargers for everything. It obviously comes with a cable, but if you are like most people and have multiple cords/cables (ca...

I can't see them adding Skenes to this mix right now. He's a pretty heady dude from what I can tell, but having to basically pitch a shutout 5th day might be too much for even him.
I'm also starting to think these hitters are trying to get people fired.

Heh, David Quinn played with Mike Sullivan for two seasons at Boston University. Quinn said because he was two years older and he and Sully look alike, Sully used his Passport as a fake ID for a few years.

What's slightly concerning is how bad the minor league teams are. Indy is around .500, but Altoona has lost 14 in a row or something. Bradenton not much better. I know they aren't supposed to win per se, but develop players...but the Pirates farm system is supposed to be pretty well stocked. Or so I...

I meant to say Xdefiant might be worth playing (not Valorant) and it will be free to play. I played a couple of alpha/betas of it, and it's a hero based shooter like Apex or CoD set in the Ubisoft "universe." You have factions from different Ubisoft properties fighting against each other. I got it c...

I don't think he can do that to Gilmour who owns or runs the name/brand "Pink Floyd" because Waters left the band. Gilmour is just tired of playing those songs, I guess. He puts out a live album or two for each of the recent tours and they'll have 90% Pink Floyd hits (including the post-Waters stuff...

Funny you mention Fearless, from Meddle. David Gilmour has a new album coming out in September and he plans to tour, but doesn't plan to play the big 70s hits - which I assume mean tracks from Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were, Here, Animals (which is more of a Roger Waters thing these days) and ...

The second one removed the pay to win stuff early on and was a good game. They dropped support early though to help finish Battlefield V, which was a mistake on both ends. The classic Battlefront from 20 years ago and Lucasgames studios has been remastered and released for consoles. That's a great g...
