  1. Oh yeah certainly there is some of that. It used to be that they'd only be live during tornado warnings, but I've seen more and more start to break away to live coverage of severe thunderstorm warnings. There's a station in Baton Rouge today that has declared the whole day a "First Alert Weather Day" where they have coverage going. Now they did have a storm roll in with 80mph straight-line winds, so it probably needed to be covered, but they had the whole system ready to go for that.
  2. I like to follow tornado warnings this time of year and local news stations are obligated to cover tornado warnings in their area. On the broadcast side with rabbit ears/cable/YouTubeTV/etc they keep the coverage going without interruption. Well, there's an alarming trend now that while streaming through their website you first have to sit through commercials like you would any other news story. There is something profoundly American about waiting through a furniture sale ad to see if the F5 is going to hit your house or not.
  3. I'm just glad he didn't GIDP. That's a W.
  4. I felt the opposite but did like For Whom the Bell Tolls.
  5. I love astronomy generally and felt the same as you. It was neat and I'm glad I did it, but it wasn't all that really except I can 100% see how my ancestors were sure that some deity had it out for them. I'd probably drive an hour out of my way to see it but that's about it. One interesting thing that happened is that the dog gave zero fucks. Which makes complete sense as the lights magically turn off and on for them all the time.
  6. Probably need to DH 1B instead of the pitcher now.
  7. Swung at two obvious balls on a guy that can't find the strikezone.
  8. Feel like it'll be 3 or 4 by the next time we bat.
  9. Good podcast on Stephen King from NYT Book Review this week. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/05/books/review/podcast-stephen-king-50-years.html
  10. Well it'd be nice to be playing the White Sox, Mets, then A's to start the year.
  11. Watching with the Astros radio feed, I thought that was an AppleTV memorial to a dead umpire until he started moving his lips.
  12. Where is Jake Marisnick when you need him?
  13. Are they showing the biggest tools in the crowd on purpose or is that just who's there?
  14. I wish the Marlins were playing today
  15. They win 90 games once and suddenly they're the prewar Yankees.
  16. Ahh back when BU at least fielded a team.
  17. Well it's tough to stay awake in class on a Malaysian schedule when you are needed to tell a third of the people halfway across the globe what to believe every second during their waking hours.
