Got mad and went off on the automated "customer service" for UPS. Wife comes in and tells me to calm down which went about as well as me telling her to calm down, which is to say, not well at all.

StarCraft was the only LAN game I ever played

My favorite Christmas movies are Elf, The Night Before, Die Hard, and Last Holiday.

I forgot that we also watched A Christmas Story too. I fell asleep during it which is why I didn't come to mind until you guys mentioned.

I'm going to try. All the men like it but none of the women do and everyone comes over to my house for the holidays. We'll definitely watch it but maybe not on Christmas day. I expect that list will quadruple, at least, and some of those movies will even be watched multiple times.

I've been watching Christmas movies. Some I've seen before, some are even part of our yearly holiday rotation, and others are just background noise. Anyways, here's the list of what we've seen so far this month. Home Alone Home Alone 2 The Holiday Last Holiday Pottersville Christmas with a View Bad Mom's Christmas Noel Diary Falling for Christmas Scrooged Almost Christmas Elf

Yeah, my wife would never come here. She's confused about why I spend so much time here but doesn't care enough to investigate.

Watched the last Trevor Noah episode. I didn't care that much for him in the beginning but he really grew on me over the years.

Finished my xmas shopping as well Nothing really exciting this year, wife got a new phone and some athleisure wear she'd been asking for and my son got some toys from some show he really likes but we don't let him watch much of. We did get the Kaylon (Roborock is the actual brand) for the house but it never went under the tree so I'm not counting it.

Yep. Unfortunately, I know a lot of people who chug diet soda like it's water because no or very low calories. I've never been able to stomach the taste and/or aftertaste of any artificial sweetener I've ever tried so I don't personally get the addiction but I do see it a lot. I also don't like natural no calorie sweeteners either, so there's that.

I just got a kick out of Sony, king of the exclusives, complaining about MS exclusives. I know it's not 1:1 but I low gut chortled

I think we've just discovered a secret Russian plot to take weapons and eyes off Ukraine

I don't blame her for going, I've been to Russia myself, I blame her for getting caught with weed in a place where it is illegal. I think it's highly likely she's been allowed to get away with it until she wasn't but that's all part of why you need to mind yourself when you travel.

I'll be honest here, I don't really care all that much about this. I'm glad Griner is free but I think they're all idiots for being idiots abroad, especially in Russia of all places.

I'm not familiar with the source material but I'll see if I can find some reviews from 40k fans

I doubt it. It sound like Hurl has term life insurance which typically just ends at after the term is up. Whole life insurance can be borrowed against, have money withdrawn from it, and you definitely get a payout at the end because it ends when you die. I'm not an expert though so while this is generally accurate there may be many exceptions and types of coverage that I don't know anything about.

I have too much life insurance because when I die I want there to be questions asked if I was somehow killed for the money, because there's no way I die of old age... and so more than just my enemies will celebrate my death.

Microsoft signs 10-year ‘Call of Duty’ deal with Nintendo I did get a chuckle about Sony whining about exclusives

Some alpha first impressions https://www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40k-rogue-trader/alpha-impressions https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40000-40k-rogue-trader-first-impressions/

51-49 I guess the rankings go Reverends > Werewolves > Vampires

I know a write a lot of negative stuff about the game but I did actually enjoy my time in it. I'm just disappointed by all the things that could have been.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5v9xy/the-freight-rail-labor-dispute-was-never-about-sick-days Some insight into the rail labor issues. I have a friend who used to work on trains who quit(after surviving two rounds of cuts) because it was more a lifestyle than a job and he wanted to see his kids grow up.

It's crazy that this came out 2 years ago now and it's only now getting to the state that still wouldn't have lived up to the release hype. Also, multiplayer has been nixed but I never cared about that to begin with.

2 dogs and it scared them at first but now they don't care because they know it will go around them. I might worry a little if I got a new puppy but these dogs are potty trained better than me so no issue there.
