    Yes, the law of averages. What’s the worst that could happen?

    OT(ish) - Interesting ESPN article on the night Rudy shut down the NBA

    This is also ********. The press were separated from the players. Rudy touching the microphones was more about an act of solidarity for the press pool than a statement about the virus.

    OT(ish) - Interesting ESPN article on the night Rudy shut down the NBA

    My favorite thing is that it’s always assumed Rudy gave Donovan covid. But nobody considers the inverse…

    This is true from a logical standpoint. But the real variable that changes the outcome is if we're part of the equation, as it doesn't involve mathematical models. When there's a three-way tie, a coin is flipped and it's ours if it lands on the edge. So whether the three teams with worst records...

    And between which two picks is that threshold? 3 & 4?

    And still a 47.9% chance of that happening, as presently constituted.

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Our pick is going to drop farther from its position because the Wolves pick will jump us.

    Very common cultural things you are ignorant to, haven’t done, or don’t understand references for, that most would.

    You don’t need a reservation but there is a fee. I don’t think it was large. There are hours but they’re pretty broad like 6:00 am to 10:00 pm but once you’re in, you can stay as long as you want. Some people go there to stargaze as it’s one of those “dark places,” which I think is a marketing...

    Oh and as for television, I’ve never seen Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Squid Game,The Lord of the Rings, any of Harry Potter (sans one film), nor have I sat down and watched the entirety of any Bond movie prior to Brosnan.

    - I’ve never seen any film from The Godfather trilogy. I’m looking to remedy this soon. - I’ve never seen It’s A Wonderful Life. Every year at Christmas time I tell myself I’ll finally get around to seeing this. - I’ve never been to a Real Salt Lake game or Rio Tinto Stadium in general (or...

    What's good for the league in general is often good for everyone. That's not me saying Dallas with the #1 is best for the league. The franchises as a collective will tolerate so much skewed favoritism to the likes of the Lakers because when the Lakers are successful, the league (and thus...

    Where in Saudi Arabia were you? Lots of things I’d like to see there like Hegra, Al Ula, Tabuk, etc. I’d love to see Mecca but obviously as a non-Muslim that’s not possible, so I’ll settle for going to Medina. The history of Bedouin culture interests me, but would see more of that in Southern...

    Saw this random tweet on the twitters. It came across my feed from non-basketball sources and laughed when this guy is apparently a Jazz fan. ETA: he’s talking about Flagg. View: https://x.com/kidnjay_/status/1897057215544197340

    World travel

    As we passed through southern Germany, we went by the Neuschwanstein Castle, the inspiration for the Disney castle. You have to buy tickets weeks in advance to go through. I had purchased tickets and inopportune times weeks before and ended up buying a different time when it became available...

    The next day we were supposed to go up to the Seceda Ridgeline. This is what it looks like normally: When we got up there, nothing. Total fog. Couldn't see more than 40 feet. We had bought our tickets up there then just had to come back down. We had planned to spend the day in that area...

    World travel

    Went to the Alps last September. A couple years before, I had planned out a rough itinerary for my parents when they flew to Zurich. I gave them a loop that would start in the Berner Oberland area, go down through the Italian Dolomites, over to western Austria, through southern German and back...

    Eventually we'll go back and see Chiang Mai, but we'll probably combine it with seeing more of Southeast Asia like Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Still need to hit Khao Sok but that would require an adventure to get there. We'll see what happens.

    We returned to Bangkok for the last night and a day before departing back to SLC. We went to Chinatown. There were a lot of things I wish we could have tried but it's so busy and difficult to navigate with 5 kids. My wife and I slipped out later that night on our own and got a view of Wat...
