It's my lunch break. (But I'm actually working on an application for a job with NASA lately. Not rover related, though.)

Hi friends. Popping in for my occasional very brief visit. Hope yinz are doing great!

I think Matheson's play has made him move-able this year, if they trust Joseph or Riikola to take over that spot. Matheson has been really good, but he's still only the 5th best defenseman on the team, so they could stand to move him, and it would save some money. But his play also means they...

Yeah, I'm actually 50/50 on it, too. He's a good player, but I'm not sure he is independently good, or if he's so good because he plays with Crosby or Malkin most of the time. Guentzel is clearly good on his own, but I'm not yet convinced of the same for Rust. (And that top line produces a ton...

I like the Carter deal. Keeps the team strong up the middle, which has been a model of success for them in the past. And ensures they'll have a penalty killer with a little extra offensive punch moving forward, other than Blueger. They've got other options available to them to ensure they can...

Is anyone playing Gordle? I'm sure you've all seen Wordle, but have you seen the hockey version? https://gordle.herokuapp.com/ I got today's in 4.

His acceleration is unbelievable. It's not just the speed, it's how quickly he gets to that speed.

Holding up important legislation because he would lose money from his own financial ties to fossil fuels, rejecting a billionaire tax on behalf of the exactly zero billionaires he represents. He's deeply corrupt, and torpedoing his own party's agenda for his own profit.

The counterpoint is that once the bill passes, they lose a ton of negotiating leverage to get those things they want, that people desperately need. As long as they have something to hold up to hold out for more stuff, they can get more stuff. Once a bill passes, and the stuff they're holding up...

The actual Q said it was fake, this is a new sect of the Q movement. Like flat earthers who think trees are fake.

I'm all better! Except that my sense of taste does seem to be a casualty. At least for spices. I can taste candy just fine, but everything else is really muted.

I'm on my way, felt mostly decent today. Just a lingering pain in the middle of my chest for the most part. Ended up in the ER on Wednesday night because of that chest pain, but it seems my heart and lungs are virtually untouched by the disease, so it must have been acting on my GERD or...

I recently made fish tacos out of Gorton's Fisherman frozen fish tenders, and I thought of [redacted]'s bit while I ate them.

What's up losers? I've got COVID, so I might actually post a little bit while I'm stuck at home!

These new strains are pretty frightening. Might be time for a true, full shutdown to keep them from spreading readily, especially since they're both more contagious, apparently, and not all the vaccines can be reliably counted on for all the new strains. That said, the vaccine developments are...

Haven't been around for a bit, so hopefully this isn't a mattola!

The thing that makes Rogue One work for me is that it's a bunch of nobodies who did one extraordinary thing, made on extraordinary sacrifice to change the course of the war. I think having a series about one defeats the ordinary soldiers bit of Rogue One, because Cassian necessarily won't be...

I don't think I want Andor. I'm nervously excited about Ahsoka, who to me is one of the best characters the universe has produced, but I'm always worried when they stretch a good character's story that it won't hold up. Actually excited about Rogue Squadron. And Obi-Wan needs to be noir. It...

I know it's kind of a funny juxtaposition, but the article where he apparently calls fans "wankers," he's talking about people who get a bunch of stuff signed just to sell it, so he's right. And also, he openly loved playing Obi-Wan.

I haven't played Among Us yet, but it seems to be the same sort of game as Resistance and Werewolf/Mafia, and I love those, so might be nice to have a remote/online version to play with the friends I used to play those games with. And I still occasionally fire up Animal Crossing, but I felt...

Anyone play video games? I've been unemployed for a month, and spending a lot of this down time playing. I did a pacifist run of Undertale and loved it, and now I'm trying to get the Dream No More ending for Hollow Knight. Both of them have entered the discussion for my favorite game ever. Just...

Oh yeah, he's 100% distressed by the cone, but he's still ready for cheek scratches when he's not furious at me for force-feeding him his medicine. I'm looking into getting a donut to put on instead of the cone so he's able to rub his cheeks on stuff again and eat at his leisure. But I'm either...
