Guy who does the actuarials on stuff. Also does analytics, not "teh analytics." Follows weather for a hobby. Ascended in Nethack twice. Defeated the arcade game Gauntlet. Probably other stuff you don't care about either. Pretty funny for an actuary.

Fair warning: saying shit like this is an immediate block.
A complete dumbass claiming to think they know what I think, when we both know this twit has no idea what I think and will never be able to do so.

Here's a better idea, Google: go fuck yourself, and fuck Gemini twice as much while you're at it.

Even worse: an update or new warning like this. Taken together, a tornado that was 6 miles SW of Mosinee, moving SE, has suddenly moved NE - but instead of still moving SE, it's now moving E. Either way, Stevens Point cannot be in the path because it's too far south. [The storm is moving SE.]

IMO, the National Weather Service unnecessarily catches shit from people. The major exception: warnings like this. A tornado, located SW of a given point, moving SE, cannot be "near" that point unless "near" is "about 9 miles away" - which overwarns and is unhelpful for people really in danger.
Test of a tornado warning from the National Weather Service for Marathon County, Wisconsin advising a tornado is 6 miles southwest of Mosinee, moving southeast, and will be "near Mosinee" at a given time.  If you understand geometry, you realize this is impossible.

Leaving this here as a reminder from the preseason - but I'm sure as some Blues fans have wanted to complain for years, Dom simply hates the Blues.

It's not a cult. It's just a group of people who think that naming things around them in honor of one person will gain favor with that one person, regardless of how many times that one person demonstrates they don't give a shit about anyone who doesn't fork over $ - $ these people don't have.

I think the resources of the United States government shouldn't be used to cover up for pedophiles, regardless of their place in society.

Occasionally when I play Nethack, my pet is a cat. If the cat is eating and I try to talk to it, the game gives the message "the cat is eating noisily." I'm pretty sure when that happens, it looks and sounds like Deli eating.

I thought this was my chair to sit in and do work. Someone obviously disagrees.

Why we can't have a pet door for the cats:
After a year and a half of trying, the large black cat has finally caught a squirrel and brought it back to the porch as a trophy.

The best time to trade Perunovich would have been ~3 years ago, even with injuries, before it was apparent that his struggles with even basic defense and his desire to play home-run offense wouldn't translate to the NHL. I guess the next best time is now, for practically little value.
The St. Louis Blues trade Scott Perunovich to the New York Islanders for a conditional 5th-round pick in 2026.

Things that are wild for $200 - we also have a tortoise shell cat whose name is Izzy. And, even more coincidentally, we occasionally worry that she doesn't feel at home.
