NFL Nuggets:
- Pete Carroll says it’s cool that Nate Robinson wants to try out, but has a slim likelihood of making a team, let alone the Seahawks. Kind of a strange look for a guy who normally looks at all the facts before rushing to judgment.
- Still with the ‘Hawks, Michael Bennett wants a new contract, and says seeing other guys get big deals is like “seeing your favorite girlfriend get married to someone else”. Since the GM was willing to freeze out Kam Chancellor, Bennett’s not really pushing that hard.
- Profootballtalk swept up the pencil shavings of ESPN and Deadspin reports about Jameis Winston to parse out the claim by Buccaneers wide receiver Louis Murphy that criticism of Winston is race-based, and claims Johnny Manziel gets better coverage because he’s white. Aside from being wrong on its face, Jameis Winston is considered a bad person because he has done some very bad things.
- According to ESPN, “Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has said the National Football League is involved in “every aspect” of the club’s new stadium project after holding discussions with NFL executives this week.” Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent. Also, who knew “Levy” was Cockney for “Kroenke”?
- ESPN also has a story about James Harrison, and how Deebo wants to keep playing until he’s 40. Also included – he got drug tested at his mom’s house during a visit. I bet that woman has a death stare for the ages.
Remember: it’s only 53 days until the Hall of Fame Game, and 84 days until the start of the regular season.
Soon, our days will be filled with meaningful content. Soon.
A brief rant – IT FUCKING SNOWED IN VANCOUVER YESTERDAY!
Granted, it was up in the local mountains, and was gone by noon. But still – June fucking 14th; it only got up to 10 Celsius / 50 Fahrenheit. That’s goddamned bullshit! It brings to mind an old Drew Carey routine:
Which then reminds me of classic Colbert
Of course this leads, inevitably, to God-Emperor Trump
Science!
Speaking of science, I found this gif on SPLOID. It’s mesmerizing.
Tonight’s sports action: Just baseball. Orioles @ Red Sox is the national game on ESPN2 (7:00) Seriously.
At least tomorrow brings us the first round of the US Open, USA vs Ecuador in hot Copa action from the CLink, and Game 6 in Cleveland, with the following questions:
- Will they lose at home?
- Will the sadness be sweeter or more bitter?
- How many balls will Draymond Green hit?
But there’s nothing of significance tonight.
So, I’m talking movies. I could’ve put this on BringBackMatt, but the main page seems right for a light content day like this.
I’ve seen, in the last month, “Captain America: Civil War”
“X-Men: Apocalypse”
And “The Nice Guys”
While none stood out, each served their purpose of being delightfully entertaining.
Captain America was what “Age of Ultron” should have been, and was in every way a superior film. It handled the role of setting up future films quite well, and didn’t make the connections seem as forced as “Ultron” did. It was actually a nice conclusion to the Cap trilogy, and on their own worthy of the three-pack purchase, if you’re into that sort of thing. And – to repeat the answer I gave in an open thread a week ago – it was far-superior to “Batman v Superman”.
I would posit, however, that “Apocalypse” was a better film than “Civil War”, mostly because it was truer to the source material. People got bent out of shape with all the death and destruction, but that’s what those X-Men comics that helped raise me were all about. I hardly expect Captain America to be a documentary, but I also don’t expect them to have the accuracy & aim of The A-Team. Seriously, in Marvel movies, only the bad guys seem to kill; good guys wound or incapacitate in order to allow a soliloquy. X-Men movies accept their “fantasy” aspect and go overboard with the destruction, because it’s not the real world. (Unless Alex Jones is actually correct.) Willfully ignoring the “think of the children” crowd made it a fun movie, in the same way that the “Independence Day” movies love destroying landmarks.
The next step up from “Apocalypse” is “Deadpool”, which was the best superhero movie of the year. There was more violence in “Apocalypse”, but less gore; I guess that was the PG-13 difference, aside from language and a couple of boobs.
Both should be seen on a big screen, if only because it’ll help with the immersion. It’ll be fine on the 48″ at home, but I like seeing that stuff large.
“The Nice Guys” was a good story that could have used about 15 minutes trimmed off of it. It wasn’t as funny as the commercials made it seem, but it had good humour and a nice pace. I found the girl a tad annoying, but mostly because she had character traits that made her both the streetwise one and the naive waif, and the switching kept her role from having the consistency to be believable. But it was worth the price of admission to see Crowe & Gosling interact with each other, and setting the movie in the 1970s gave those scenes even more kick. It’ll be a good Netflix Saturday night.
Next up for me is either “Finding Dory” or “The Secret Life of Pets” with the nieces, or ID: Resurgence” or “Ghostbusters” by myself (since those aren’t wife-accompanied-type movies). Looking at this list, I’LL REGRET SOMETHING!

Wife has finally agreed to let me buy a new gen console. I don’t remember who told me to sell it to her as an entertainment system, but I owe that person a bottle of whiskey. Wooo!
So, PS4 or X-Box One?
Why is the X-bone considered a better entertainment system than the PS4?
Wait for it. They’re releasing more powerful versions of the new consoles shortly.
Backwards comp-ahahahaha you won’t get that from either of them.
Xbox One is definitely getting there. Pretty solid chunk of my 360 games are running on Xbox One now.
This seems so fake to me. Give me a girl wearing a hoodie she stole from some guy, wearing glasses because she is too lazy to put in her contacts, shoddy ponytail covered in cheetos dust and frumpily laying down while playing
So… 3/10 or 2/10, would not bang?
She is busy playing FF7 for the 40th time, let her enjoy the game and then try to bang her later
So…8/10 once she’s done, dropping to 2/10 if she beats your score?
I obviously tell her the spot in Junon where you can level up to 99 in a couple hours vs disc 3 enemies on disc one. If she comes up with some other awesome trick I welcome it, don’t feel ashamed by her figuring it ot
What I am referring to is you can turn the alarm on in the hallway meant for much later in the game leading to the sub. Easy leveling if you got Beta or Aqualung on your enemy skills materia. Not only can you level up quick it is probably the best place to level up Materia in the game
I’ll take some credit; I remember pitching that a while back.
Well, it’s been a pleasure.
/takes note. Remember to post more Hayley Atwell in the future.

They broke off their wedding the day before and got back together at Whitley’s wedding. . . to a congressman. A guy even Dwayne admitted was way better for Whitley. True love!
So hopefully I don’t go to bed tonight at 5:30 like I did last night. Even though I have you guys, I felt… lonely last night. I mean I know why and hopefully I can start rectifying it in earnest next week, but… with her busyness this week and mine this past, I know I need to talk to her, keep patching it up, it’s just that now I’m nervous, like a “Hey you” or something that I want to say, but don’t want to come back on too strong and make her start worrying, even though she honestly should, because I still would do anything.
And it looks like nobody’s coming with me to things tomorrow, and that’s not nearly as fun.
Poor Weaselo.
Stay strong. It does get better. . . eventually.
Uh oh. Haven’t been on the last two nights. Did I miss a breakup?
No… actually yes, but that’s Low Commander. My fuck-up happened a few weeks ago.
Oh shit, sorry man. I’m only on here while I’m at work so I tend to miss a chunk of the goings on.

I did a reverse image search on this gif to try to find out who it is. Google gave me only “Shoulder”
Anni Haase. In the title bar.

Well, being laid off is good for one thing. It only took a week to catch up on 5 seasons of Veep.
I still need to catch up from Season 2 or 3. I have no reason to not be caught up
As much as I enjoyed A Different World, Dwayne Wayne and Whitley were absolutely horrible together.
She was not attractive as a character.
Right? I fucking hated her!
She was good in Seasons 2 and 3. Then when she got with him the first time until her character unravelled. By the time they got together the second time, it was just terrible and nobody could have possibly wanted them to get together.
They were so toxic to each other.

They were so toxic to each other.
She was actually on the mend and rebounding as a character in Season 5 and then they had to go ruin that by forcing Dwayne and Whitley

I liked blonde Allison Brie, after I posted it I noticed it looks like she just has to pee
Alison Brie because I still had the search tab open
My first reaction was, “I need to buy that basque!”, and then I realized I will also need to buy a lot of plastic surgery to look as good as she does in that.
/Googles that a basque is a real thing and not just a certain province of Spain
I say go for it, you are a lovely woman and anyone would be lucky to have the chance to see you in that
Daww
Is Allison Brie still a try-hard with her quotes to the press? It’s not nearly as oft putting as J-Law, but, it’s like, lady, just chill and relax a little.
J-law has lost me. Alison Brie I don’t see as a try hard as much as she will lean into whatever the interviewer talks about which is something people absolutely love male comedians for
You guys actually listen to their dealings with the press? Why?
I had a quick power blackout, Wisconsin is back to how you imagine it. Cold, dark and humidity free. For me that works so I am happy
Are you sure you didn’t just blink hard?

How does one make a gif?
The easiest way I can put it is in a simplified list specific to these:
1. Download MP4 video from Youtube
2. Import to iMovie
3. Edit out everything but Karlie and then arrange the scenes together
4. Save as a .MOV
5. Edit and trim down to 15s MP4 in Photoshop
6. Upload to gfycat.com

Well, shit; it was a cool breezy 95F here today. Time to get out the sweater.

No, but mine farts incessantly. What is that worth? Like a ’98 Corolla?

Mine is a crop duster; walks by wagging the tail and lets an SBD out.
Now that I see it in print it describes a woman I dated in the late 90s too.
So this “June-uary” thing, I find this fascinating. Tuesday it will be 121-degrees where I live.

That’s how you kill frogs in bio lab, too.
It’s called “pithing.”

Only to eat dicks, I guess. She’s notorious for not working out and only doing yoga and hiking.
I only said the first part because I’m envious as Hell at her boyfriend.
But I’ve thought about it more often than I should ever and it seems that the biggest problem that I have always comes down to “he asked her out” and I never would.

@ Low Commander of the Super Soldiers –
I realized I never answered your question about what motors I work on. Basically medium voltage motors, typically 4160V AC. Mostly Induction but about a third of the time its megawatt Synchronous motors.
They are fun as shit to install…and absolute nightmare to order. I get to deal with a wide variety of regulations depending on the application and our factories are all based overseas. So plenty of very late nights.

That link is an album for the last induction motor I commissioned and installed…

On the carrier, our life preservers were called “rubber duckies”. When someone would show up to the boat for the first time, the command would send them to “School of Ship” classes for a week. There, your individual safety gear would get handed out. Except if you were in Reactor Department, you didn’t get a rubber ducky.
The new kids to the department would always ask why they didn’t get the life preserver. It was then when we would have to explain that during an “Abandon Ship”, reactor department musters in the Reactor spaces like the engine room and the doors padlock us in. So we either save the ship from flooding..or we go down with it.
Wonderful morale boost…
“You’re in the Reactor Department. By the time you hear an alert, you’re already dead.”

I am ready to go home. I miss my cats and civilization (ie, better cable, my own bed, reliable WiFi, home shitting advantage).
Use this when you leave:
Better WiFi can sometimes enhance loss of HSA. A road game is much easier when you’ve got mild distractions.
Also true for hookers and pro athletes as well.
Ppl forget that…
