Finally pushed the The Defenders. I mean, I enjoyed parts of it, but it really dragged. Iron Fist was just terrible, and the story was just not that engaging to me. I hope Punisher is back on track.

Corporate taxes make some sense within reason because we still need to fund consumer protection agencies. I don't want borax in my food.

Only? You are giving 40% of your salary to the government. After state taxes it could be over half your salary, depending on where you live.

That's an understatement. Into the bullpen now for both squads. I hope Houston stays ahead, but I'm not betting on anything in this game.

Kind of prophetic that they went with a space theme and now the next game 7 is them playing the Astros.

Bummed that the Astros couldn't get to Rich Hill. This figures to be a much tougher match up, but who knows what will happen in this crazy series?

Was it? Gaming has come a long way in the last 15 years, I didn't even notice if it was.

Brewed a Hefeweizen today. It was a pretty simple one, although I think I will dry hop it to add a bit of complexity.

I thought the Polish jokes came from the apocryphal story about Polish cavalry charging German tanks in WW2? Does every industry in Poland have unions? Most tech jobs in the US do not.

Made it to Gondor in LotRO. The music is a lot like Arcanum. I'm loving the area, probably the most scenic so far. Much better than Rohan.

Yep. Are they going to put an asterisk next to this season?

I can't imagine becoming a cheater because my mates keep accusing me of that. You'd have to have super low self esteem to just become something because people say you are that.

Is that the new AssCreed?

This year we decided to dress up for a halloween party as a family. We went with Power Rangers. But then my daughter changed her mind and decided to be Sheila from Army of Darkness. I'm torn between happiness and sadness. She does look great though.

To be fair, the Houston owner did apologize pretty quickly, and it sounds loke a number of people in the room were quick to point out how bad it sounded.

Won't someone please think about the sour patch children?

I would recommend everyone watch Timbuktu to understand more about the situation in Niger.

Yeah, but even taking it in the best light, referring to employees as inmates at an asylum is a bad idea. Sure, there is obviously a big divide between players and owners, but stating it that way when there is already a ton of tension is asking for trouble.

Yeah, I traded in my Vans for comfortable sneakers years ago. Old age.

History for 12-13 year old kids.

The standing desks do drop down to be regular sitting desks, by the way.

After many years of using terrible desks, some with loose electrical wiring and jagged edges, I am getting a chance to order new furniture for my classroom. I'm torn between a couple options so I figured I'd bug you guys about it. I would really like to get some furniture that students can stand at. I hate sitting for long stretches and I know it isn't easy on middle schoolers. It would look like this: My concern here is that they seem like than can break pretty easily. Given my current furniture is older than me, I don't know when I will ever get replacements. They are also pricey, so I don't know if I can get the funding. They come with nice chairs though. My other thinking is something that is easy to move and can connect together well. I move my furniture somewhat regularly depending on whether we are doing group work, tests, etc. https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/9086/10h/origin-d5.scene7.com/is/image/KLog/MAD-60W_1 They connect together well and look durable. They also are about half the price. Anyone have any thoughts? Should I go revolutionary or traditional?

The President is a bit of an oddball...

I think you are overthinking the gun fu movie. I mean, you can also wonder why people only have kevlar suits when it fits the plot, but that would be silly.
