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).
Stupid Google, Polygon and the nascent web3 industry innovating on a technology that has zero reason for existence. Why are these dummies even meeting in Austin, Texas?

Stupid JPM and Goldman Sachs. Don't they know there is no intrinsic value in crypto? Why they messing around with developing technologies on the Ethereum blockchain? Dumbasses. $700 billion is all money laundering - right?
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?

Blossom Puzzle, April 27
Letters: A C E L H N O
My score: 280 points
My longest word: 9 letters
💮 🌸 🌻 🌼 🏵 🌷 🌺 🌹 💐
I struggled with Blossom mightily today and eventually gave up on my brainstorming of words with only 9 words written down before just filling in the puzzle with small words to fill in the gap.

Gensler just doing what he's being told to do IMO.
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.
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.

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.
