    Anyone that still thinks nuclear winter would be a real thing hasn't been paying attention to how much we get lied to by "experts" and the media to keep us fearful. If a full nuclear exchange occured there would be lots of hot spots but a full blown global environmental apocalypse....no...

    Death and... Taxes.

    My Dad passed away last week. Meeting my brother and sister today to go over the estate. There's a 401k and a life insurance policy. I don't know amounts yet but it sounds like he was very lax on naming beneficiaries. I think he named my sister on the life ins and no one on the Merrill Lynch...

    I've been working my through EDF, slowly but surely thanks to the easy save feature on the Switch. It's fun to just drop in and play 5 or 10 mins without much investment. Enemies coming up from behind is kinda bullshit and makes homing missiles my go to.

    If DAL gets to 28 and XOM gets to 48.50 this week I'll cash out my winnings and wait for another dip. Just going with my gut during the height of the pandemic I looked up some companies that are into robotics and automation and bought into ABB for something long term. +15% so far. Caught a...

    Austin, Texas

    It wasn't great going south on Friday, but I've seen it a lot worse. Coming back yesterday was easy peasy. Noticed that the I35 corridor from Georgetown all the way to San Antonio is pretty much an unbroken metro area now. At some point it's just going to be the Austin/SA metroplex the same way...

    How has traffic been this week? Driving through tmrw on 35 and wondering if I should go around the metro like I normally do.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I've found a lot of new music that I otherwise wouldn't have just through their Discover Weekly playlist that's generated every Monday based on what I've been listening to. Thinking back on it, that's probably what hooked me in and made me a reliable subscriber.

    They just added three new SNES games and one new NES game to the online sub.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    Spotify is a great product, I've been paying premium for 6 or 7 years now. I have huge playlists built up over that time and it's nice to be able to download them and have them to listen to when I'm in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and have no cell service. The more podcasts I can get on there...

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Around here most Care Now type of private clinics offer testing without an appointment. There's one by my house that does it in 10 mins for $50 and tests for antibodies. I'm sure anyone that took the time to make a few phone calls could get it done for free. The only reason we don't see 100%...

    What do you mean by hardmode? Is that automatic after killing the first bosses? I've never got much further than killing the flying skull dude but fired up a new world this weekend with the final update.

    I'm finding that I'm using my Switch to play a bunch of the $15 indie games that I would end up buying and never playing on Steam. And replaying SNES games is pretty sweet as well.

    I got my XOM back at 40.5 this morning then the bounce back. Can't believe I got that lucky. Low stakes compared to you guys, but still felt good. Gas prices been rising steadily all week, probably holding onto them this time.

    My aunt is an ER doc in Tulsa. I haven't wanted to bug her too much with everything going on but I'll ask her what they are doing for treatment, what they've tried, and what's worked and what hasn't worked. She's always been non-political so should be able to get objective answers.

    Picked up a Switch Lite a couple weeks ago so I'm revisiting and trying for the first time a few of the classics: Metroid, Zelda:A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, and Super Mario 3.

    Please explain how barring entry fir those who have been diagnosed with a novel virus who's long term effects are completely unknown is a display of incompetence? Are you also outraged that asthma sufferers are also disqualified?

    So weird that gamers would expect good "gameplay" in a video "game" and would judge a game based on that metric. If I want emotion I'll watch the Hallmark Channel or a Twilight marathon.

    Ya all the gym bros I know are chomping at the bit to get back and we still have two more weeks until they open up. Probably a much different attitude about down here in the south than people near all the hot spots on the east coast. This was last weekend at a local lake. No one was social...
