Read the title, thought "oh, the first nations folks are gonna be PISSED" and was pleased to find out it was their idea.

If Pomykal can avoid major injuries for a while it's over for everyone else, as they say... For me, I like the regular season and therefore I LOVE the AppleTV deal. I'm originally from Columbus (woo lamar hunt!) and basically being unable to watch games without paying for cable was terrible. Now I can watch every game and see the MLS360 whiparound show which is fun. But yeah, the USOC change is shameful, I hate it so much. I hope FCD make a good run in it this year, at least! If the Riverhounds and the Crew can't/won't win it, certainly wouldn't mind it being Dallas.

Oooh, Copa America! Nice, hope that's a good time. FC Dallas has been puzzling, that's for sure. I bought into the hype, I thought they'd take a positive step forward from last year's mild success... nope :(

Anyone else going and watching soccer/football this weekend?? Hoping my beloved Pittsburgh Riverhounds can beat Tampa Bay Rowdies to snap a 3-game winless streak to start the season.

I like your shoelaces!

Way too many to list but I'll throw one out. Do you like Radiohead, REM, The National, Pixies, Frank Turner, or Dinosaur Jr.? Well, they (or their lead singer) all love Mark Mulcahy's music enough to have recorded a cover song for the tribute album when Mark's wife passed.

Mark led the band Miracle Legion, released some solo work, and led the band Polaris (not the metal band from Australia), best known as the band from the show The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Also noteworthy: Miracle Legion toured and released an EP with The Sugarcubes, aka Bjork's band.

Song recommendations: The Backyard, All For The Best by Miracle Legion - Hey Sandy, Saturnine by Polaris - Taking Baby Steps, The Fiddler, Hey Self Defeater by Mark Mulcahy.

Album recommendations: Drenched by Miracle Legion, Music from The Adventures of Pete & Pete by Polaris, and Fathering by Mark Mulcahy.

Bare minimum, please talk to your vet before continuing to do this. Looking at the Safety Data Sheet for Zep-O-Zorb, I would avoid using it with my cats.

King's Bounty 2. It's not an amazingly well made game, and it lost a lot of the fun goofiness of the other games, but I do love the combat and think the story was underrated.

A couple examples:

71 on Metacritic, 6.8 user score. Not bad! Will definitely be getting it if it works well on Steam Deck.

I've gotten a couple in the past few months, and it definitely seems to be a thing/have been a thing: https://www.howtogeek.com/721043/why-youre-getting-so-much-signal-spam-and-what-you-can-do/ https://www.androidpolice.com/signal-is-taking-the-fight-to-spammers-with-new-message-requests/

Just in time for the Bell Riots 👀

I had a manual for about 75k miles, mostly liked it, but have had an automatic since then (inheritence coming into play, free car = free car). I had a little Chevy Spark EV for about a year that was a joy. Honestly, not having to change gears at all is AWESOME. You don't think about the motion caused by even the best of manual shifts (let alone terrible CVT shifts) until it's not there. It's so much smoother to get up to speed and I loved it.

Waiting for battery tech to get a little better and running out my current car (Shoutouts to Toyota), then will be going back to an electric car.

I had the same thought at the description!! Loved that from Kiell

Do April Fools jokes count? I was bereft after reading an article 13+ years ago from a trustworthy gaming site that said Armor Games (a popular flash game dev at the time) was taking over all development for the Elder Scrolls games.

(In retrospect, maybe that wouldn't have been the worst thing after Skyrim came out)

Sadly, there's not a singular ethical Amazon replacement out there. You've got alternatives like Walmart and Target but I don't think they rate much higher than Amazon, honestly. I'll throw out Grove Collaborative for cleaning supplies/home things/toiletries, Thrive Market for foods (though they have a membership fee), Kindhumans and Uncommon Goods for a wide variety of things. Here's a list of some more places that might be useful - bearing in mind there is no one panacea.

Scenario: Harry Kim and Tom Paris both want to be your BFF, but you can only choose one. Which one do you choose?

Anecdotal, but I do know personally 2 people who only started driving in their 20s. It's not a 0% chance that they genuinely are learning to drive.

It is Robot Krabs controlled by Plankton, if that helps at all!

Very fair! You've definitely got a wider perspective than I do, I appreciate it.
