  1. IF they do work, I can’t see them working for very long. Certainly not to the length you would expect the paint to last. 

    If that were the case then wouldn’t there be something better on its own that didn’t need to be applied every 12 months or fewer?

    I use some kind of deal that hooks to your hose. I spray the house with it 3-4 times a year. Seems to do alright. The big kicker is a lot of insecticides seem to have a really short effectiveness on spiders.

    Hopefully a chemical guy pops up with some good details.

    Got a smash deal when I was out in Phoenix while visiting friends a few years ago. $100/oz. Sure, it was popcorn nugs, so I grabbed a 1/4 to try first, and it was fire. Grabbed 4oz of it to take home. Half in my carry-on, half in a checked bag as my carry-on was too full for the rest.

    16 1/4oz jars worth.

    Nobody gave it a second thought.

    TSA doesn't care about "drugs". Especially cannabis.

    The absolute WORST thing that potentially could happen would be they find something and turn you over to local authorities. That doesn't happen. Well, unless you're already being a total ass and they pile on by adding that. So if you're standing in a legal state, and they were to turn you over, what's going to happen? The cop they turn you over to is going to let you walk and be pissed off at TSA for the rest of the day.

    People carrying cannabis is just not something on their "give a shit" list. If a non-legal state, you still have the D8/D9 stuff, and that's legal everywhere. So they just don't care. They might if you had 5lbs in your checked bag, but who does that?

    This is to the point that on the TSA's own website, it clearly states they're not looking for your weed, and that their focus is on bombs/guns/weapons.

     

    I have a smell proof bag with a lock on it. It's kind of like a bank deposit bag, and I have a travel setup that stays packed in it. When I need to go somewhere, I add in however much of whatever flower I think I'm going to need/want, zip it up, lock it up, and that's that.

    I typically take anywhere from 1-4 oz of flower with me, depending on where I'm going, whom I'm visiting, and for how long. If it's just me for a long weekend, I may roll a handful of joints. If it's a week or two, well, then more.

     

    DO NOT FLY OUT OF COUNTRY WITH IT.

     

    If you have a vape or gummies, it's even less risk. So many people have vapes, they just don't give a shit. I keep mine in my pocket, and put it in with my other shit when going through TSA. Haven't thought twice about it.

    Another downside to DirecTV: it’s not smart enough to record a whole game when it runs long. Flipped over to see the Auburn touchdown and it’s no longer recording so I couldn’t rewind. 

     

    You can set overlap, although manually. (if it's a pass, you can set it once for the pass and not every game.)

    I get the stars through it so it has value to me.  
     

    I think younger the 30 for 30 series if you are into sports docs. Plus the tier 3 stuff from some conferences. 

     

    Right. Never said it didn’t have value. Just describing the content. Same as it ever was, just a different name.

    I think this may be one of the rare gamedays where Columbia actually rocks.  Average BAC should already be ~0.2% and climbing.

    How do you access it?

     

    For now, it's "up to" 7 (most everbody gets 5) diff channels that have a pre-defined selection. I guess Phase 2 rollout is coming and will allow for picking your own mix. Haven't read yet about when the next updates come out. May/may not be a hotter priority with football season currently, as they already pushed out the "predefined channels" option.

    The "mix" channels are low 900's (on my guide, specifically 910, 912, 915, 920, 921)

    Interesting. I just looked it up as well. Looks like both spectrum and dtv allow unlimited streams on your home network, and 3 streams away from home. That's a win over yttv. Not a huge one, but helpful.

    I couldn't make the DTV math work when I last tried... Even with ATT lines and home Internet, it didn't pencil. I may look again to see if it's close...

    But I'm also thinking...

    Yeah, I have some mathin’ to do myself.

    But RSN’s are a perk for sure. Saves $20 on that app alone.

    Of course YTTV/Mouse will sort it out right after I switch. And apparently, cable cards are on their way out, so makes local dvr options different if a box has to be had (spectrum.)

    If I can stream all their shit, it’s an option at least.

    Been using a dtv login since the outage, and it’s fine. Have to look at how many streams they allow and that type of stuff, same for spectrum. 

    (Basically have to build my case as to why I’m inconveniencing the wife 🙄

    I am seriously considering going back to Spectrum.

     

    I'm considering that as an alternative option as well, but not 100% sold on that idea just yet. Mainly, I have to do the math on it, and see how that setup would have to be. Especially if I have to have a different box. Their package with RSN's and the channels the wife "has to have", ends up putting us on their "top" tier @ 165/mo. So that alone is $75 higher than YTTV (granted, it has more channels), however it also includes streaming subs that I currently pay for which would offset that difference. Of course they're the ad supported versions, which I'm not sure if you can pay the difference or not. Sometimes you can, sometimes not. However, dropping those services and going with the ad versions that are included would offset that $75 difference, and maybe a hair more. We're talking total spent overall, of course. DTV would be similar, but without half the apps that spectrum offers. Wouldn't need any type of box, and they have all their channels in their streaming app.

     

    However I'm quite surprised at what I'm seeing there. Guess finding out they have a lot of stiff competition can do that. When I last had spectrum 3 years ago, I was paying $315/mo for tv/internet, plus any streaming services I had at the time. So this thing their offering now is half what it was at that time, give or take.

    DirectTV would be $125, but missing paramount+ and hbo subs. They do give you a sub to hulu/dis+/espn unlim, so some savings there I guess, but again, have to math it out at $35 higher than YTTV and not sure my dis/hulu subs cover all that. Still end up having to pay for paramount and peacock, but I think either a card or something else has paramount as a "perk", but of course none of those freebies are ad-free.

    Guess it's time to do some math, and see what I can find that will meet the wife approval factor.

  9. Here's the Silver Slugger release. No mention of a fan vote:

    Quote

    For the second-consecutive season, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has been named a winner of the 2025 Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award, as announced by Louisville Slugger. 

    Bobby Witt Jr.’s 2025 MLB All-Star campaign included 184 hits and 47 doubles which led all Major League players. He hit for an impressive .295 batting average, .852 OPS, and crushed 23 homers as well. Congratulations, Bobby!

     

    Here's the Plat Glove release:

    Quote

     

    Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has been named the winner of the 2025 American League Rawlings Platinum Glove Award. This marks Bobby Witt Jr.’s first career Rawlings Platinum Glove Award. Congratulations to our defensive superstar! 

    The Rawlings Platinum Glove Award honors the best individual defensive performances in both the American League and National League. Winners were chosen by fan voting. 

     

     

    Guessing they would have included the fan vote blurb in the other as well, but who knows.

    i did not realize that this was a fan voted award. that makes a lot more sense.

     

    I didn't recall that either, but it was mentioned in the release I got last night. Can't recall if the silver slugger is a similar vote or not. I don't think so, but can't say for sure without looking it up.

  11. Safari?

    Lock it down. Turn off trackers, etc. Once you do, twitter stuff looks like this:

    Right click on the date and open in new tab if it’s something you want to see.

     

    Doing that and all the weird shit people have been mentioning will stop.

    I'm surprised LIV is still alive. I can't imagine how much money the investors have lost.

     

    But all of it came out “clean” on the other side.

    uhhhhh....throwing scalding coffee on someone? Yeah that's not something I've ever wanted to do. 

     

    I didn’t mean throw coffee on someone specifically. I meant flip out, etc. Which is why I said something like that.

    I said she was wrong, and she was. 

    But the difference is beat described by Sheriff Buford T Justice: “You can think about it… but don’t do it.”
