Random Thoughts That Don’t Warrant Their Own Thread: 2025

First page this year? Hell yeah

Edit: of course.

 

Tweaked my hamstring running with the pup this morning. I think it's just a 10-day stint on the IL, though.

 

Please keep us updated as I’m keeping my own excel sheet on those that can report for pitchers and catchers in February.

 

What sort of pace were you on when the tweak happened?

 

4-minute mile

 

But really, the pup is too young to run long distances, so we'll just walk, sprint for like 20-30 seconds, then slow to a jog.

It happened during one of the walk-to-sprints at about 7:15 this morning.

 

She finally outgrew the front seat and doesn't quite know what to do with the whole back to herself:

Spoiler

We had a raucous NYE party, too

Anyone else get these CAPTCHA type prompts all the time now? Seems like they popped overnight all across the web about a month ago and prevent from using all sorts of websites.

 

This is a difficult test for you? We found the bot

 

Why are you browsing and clicking so fast?

 

Yes, nothing abnormal about how fast I solve or click. I use an ad blocker, thats my only guess.

 

how many tries before you got it right?

 

sometimes I do it right 10 times and it still blocks me. Sometimes 2x and I can get in. No rhyme or reason.

 

The Monday of the first full week of the year is the worst day of the year and it’s not even close. It’s Friday, and I’m already dreading it.

 

Just an awful case of the scaries already

 

Kinda need to make the decision of whether to drink this weekend or not right now, to determine how bad it’s going to suck.

And it’s going to suck pretty bad.

 

that and the week in february post super bowl sunday

 

January and February are the worst months of the year and it isn’t close. My dopamine triples the first warmish day in March.

 

Just absolute desolation.

 

Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is such a wonderfully charming kid movie.

 

I bing searched “ridiculous tattoos” and your elbow showed up

 

is sourdough the best bread?

 

Sometimes I think it is and sometimes I think Brioche is

 

Entirely depends on how you're eating it

Traditional sandwich - probably sourdough

Breakfast sandwich - brioche, but I love great bagels

Probably lots of others I'm forgetting

 

Agreed. Like Nug says, depends on how it’s being eaten.

 

Hipster opinion - US has absolutely shit bread. Germany, Netherlands, France, Mexican panaderias

 

I must travel more to find better breads

 

Every time I see this movie mentioned I think of Heath Ledger’s last movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Weird I know.

 

Some shits going on right now. The cops have surrounded a house in my neighborhood and are calling for the guy who lives there to come out.

 

ah fuck. I’m not going back, man

 

Now there's a helicopter doing circles around the neighborhood.

 

They have now announced over loud speaker that if he doesn't come out the house they're going to shoot gas into his house.

 

Not very neighborly to shoot gas into someone's home

 

Did you ever know the guy?

 

Yeah he built my shed.

Tear gas worked, he's out of the house now. I haven't heard the cops mention his wifes name over the loud speaker at all

 

What’s his profile

 

Feel like a morning update is warranted here

 

From the jail website:

Certain felonies ehe?

 

One of the neighborhood Facebook groups said it initially was a kidnapping call. I'm going to assume he was threatening his wife with a gun, cops showed up, he let her go, and then it was a multi hour standoff after that.

 

Followed closely by November, December imo
