Well, it nailed my ass. I grew up in Northeast Tennessee and now live in Arizona, though I spent a few years in Upstate NY and New Jersey

Just pulled up my Smite stats, and Jesus Christ. I don’t think this includes the beta or seasons 0-2, so definitely 2,000+. Thankfully, I haven’t touched it since 2023
A screenshot of the website smite guru. At the top are the most played gods statistics followed by hours played (1813 hours, 24 minutes). Below that is the win loss record of 2,315 wins and 2,244 losses for a win-loss rate of 50.78%

I took this years ago. It’s still insane to me that people jump from these things

I knew even before I checked the score

Oh god, I just pulled up their store and there are so many keyboards I like. 🫠 I just bought this one, though, so I'm gonna pretend I never saw your post

I wish I had a better picture, but I absolutely love my Equinox EV! Its footprint is only marginally larger than the Honda Insight I traded in. I definitely second it as a solid option

It hurts me that I'm in the only deep red district in AZ. It's actually insane how much of western AZ is in the 9th district

My all-time favorite R package hex is relevant!
A hexagon shaped icon for the R package {magrittr}. The primary logo (the "pipe" operator) is a greater-than symbol surrounded by percent symbols on either side. Below the pipe is the phrase "this is not a pipe" in French, a reference to René Magritte's painting by the same name

Went back to run walk for a while. 0.5/0.5 instead of the cycle I was doing yesterday. Honestly, not sure if it's better, worse, or the same on the foot and ankle

Cycle 2 in the books. So far, so good. Ankle is ok, hip is just a dull ache

Definitely not going to post every lap, but at least have to celebrate completing the first! ... Just kidding, looks like the system maybe didn't track the first lap 🫠

Might screw around and micro blog my first time at a 6 day run instead of trying to keep a notebook 🏃

@mmasnick.bsky.social After you posted about them, I went out and got some Govee lights for the house. You were right, these things are super fun!

@thegooddotstore.bsky.social UPS decided to take their sweet time (probably didn't help I ordered around Thanksgiving 🫠), but I'm super excited to give these a shot!

Talk about a jarring change in tone from post 2 -> 3 😆
