Agree with Volo on this. Play as long as you've still got the fire and can still get a job. Ricky Henderson played in the minors at the end and I loved his passion for the game.

Well the RV marketplace is apparently a hotbed, because I've been bombarded by people looking to buy it. This going faster than I expected.

I feel like Winston deserves a chance to challenge Favre for the most interceptions ever. He can get there by the end of the decade if he keeps it up.

I'm pretty sure driving our RV across the country is better for the environment than flying, but I'm no expert. But my wife would definitely agree on the pitfalls of my emotional relationship to the thing. It's my baby, and it sasses less than my kids. Anyways, Facebook Marketplace is a crazy thing, I've got 4 different people already asking on it.

I am listing our RV for sale. We have travelled the country in it for the last 12 years as a family. It is a bit emotional.

Y U lie? Roofles Beimg critical of our foreign affairs has nothing to do with love of country. Recognizing the hypocrisy of calling a Iranian General evil for killing Americans when the US kills people all over the world is not unpatriotic.

2019 In Games (and Screenshots): a (random) end of year review
RDR2 was close to the top for me last year, when I played it on the PS4. It's fantastic.

Well, everyone seems pretty content calling the US the good guys and Iran the bad guys, even though the US is the one in a foreign country after forcibly removing their government. So people believe nonsense all the time.

Dracula on Netlfix is off to a great start. Very solid BBC produced series and pretty fun to watch.

I've found that Origin runs better than Steam and Epic. But I probably only launch a few times a year, so take that for what it is worth. But still, pretty unobtrusive comparatively.

What you did Today: The Story of you
I'd say that is going to depend quite a bit on the job you are offering. Why is a Yale graduate going for a job that a lesser degree will qualify for? (Although I don't know much about Boca, it seems to be a University with fairly high standards.) I always question the people who come in to public education with ivy league degrees. I find they are either putting in their quick 3 years so they can move onto administration, or they are just not really sure what they want to do. Contrast that to a few of the ladies I have worked with who worked their way through state schools while raising young kids, and there is really no question who I'd rather hire. One is using the job as a stepping stone to something else, and one is committed to a career in the classroom. Og course, the former needs to justify the expense of that Yale university education.

As I say tirelessly, education is much more about skill development than content. You've shown an employer you are capable of showing up and completing work when you show them a degree. You've learned to follow through on a long-term goal.

I gave up on Lost in Space because I didn't understand how a space travelling family could make so many stupid choices. They also seemed super dysfunctional. I watched 1 episode and that was my verdict.

I have been working pretty hard the last two years on training, but today I ate a cookie and I ruined all of my conditioning in a few bites. 🍪

Yeah, but Dutch doesn't really connect to Netherlands in any phonemic sense. I mean, we could call you Nethers, but that sounds a bit below the belt. edit: Found this interesting while researching this terrible joke I was making: https://www.dictionary.com/e/demonym/

Deadfire is a better Obsidian RPG than Outer Worlds
They aren't in competition, so just enjoy them both. 👍

I'm thinking about getting into Gears of War. I mean, I remember the original was good fun, but I was never really an Xbox guy, so I avoided the franchise. But now I've got access to a few on the PC, and they are releasing an Xcom style version pretty soon, so maybe I'll try to bone up on the universe a bit. I grabbed a novel by Karen Traviss as well, and so far it's a pretty fun read.

Is it worth buying an Xbox One S at this stage?
Seems like a pretty good deal. Although exercise is a better option for managing your tension.
