  2. We tried to watch St. Vincent with Bill Murray as a hard drinking, gambling, whoring veteran who bonds with a kid that moves in next door. The movie was pretty good, if predictable, for what we saw, but our Blu-ray disc was scratched and kept freezing and jumping so we turned it off. I'll finish watching it some day when I find it streaming for "free" (on a service I am subscribed to).
  3. That's an impressive amount of yellow in the SE corner.

  11. Lucky v Cobalt could be a fun match. Blip v Banshee features two struggling flipper bots. Tantrum v Whiplash features two bots that have had success historically, but they have both underperformed my expectations this season. Main event could be spicy. ~~~ Anyone printing brackets tonight after the reveal?

  16. Both have 1 toz of gold, but Eagles have some silver and copper too to make them more durable. The alloy changes the color of the coin slightly. Both have liquid resale markets, so IMO, you can't go wrong with either one.
  17. When Robert Duvall hosted Saturday Night Live back in the day, they did a game show skit called Who's More Grizzled. I really haven't been able to watch Duvall in a movie since because I always remember that damn skit when I see him and I lose my immersion.
  18. From Ruchir Sharma, chair of Rockefeller International via Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/content/e9c78b99-8a29-47e2-b5bf-9f7542608cf6 h/t (no paywall): https://gata.org/node/22596 ~~~ https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/rbz-introduces-gold-backed-digital-currency Need more details, but it sounds like they are trying to make it easier for (poor) people to buy/use small/fractional bits of gold.

  20. That episode was chock full of boring matches. Hope next week brings more action.

  24. Last week's episode had some entertaining fights. Here' the card for tonight: Starchild v Huge should be some comedy. Will Huge actually launch a bot into the air? Triton v Horizon ... I mean... lulz... Bloodsport v Beta might be interesting if Beta uses their amazing wedge. Bloodsport used a blade that gave them some reach in their last fight. Will they break Beta's hammer? Black Dragon v Riptide will get all the hype. Similar design for the bots so I expect this fight will be determined by driving skill.
