If you're on The Price Is Right guessing a price and you have to be within N dollars (high or low), why the HELL are you guessing less than N? You think you need to cover negative-fifty bucks or whatever? Come on, folks. Get it together. Man.

I know I haven't streamed on Twitch in a while, but I'm giving the channel a big makeover, with some of the bells and whistles that you're likely to see from far more competent streamers than I. You can scarcely contain your excitement, I know.

Insight into my brain for whatever it's worth: When I watch The 1% Club, I think I've missed the 80% and 70% questions as much as I've missed anything thereafter. Something about the visual teasers that frequently come at that level messes with me.

I'm having a fantastic time at the National Puzzlers League convention, as I have every year since 2007 (2020 excepted), but I'm a bit gutted to miss @sfcityfc.com winning the USL2 NorCal division title today. What an incredible season for this club and I'm supremely proud to be part of it.

Whalers suck for twenty years, leave, and have won two Cups since. RPI kicks me in the nuts every spring without fail. Blackhawks covered up for a sex abuser during their entire run. The Kraken are completely directionless. Why do I like hockey, again?

I am curious about the effect that almost everyone I know, even people who are doing relatively well, thinks they would be more successful economically if they sacrificed their ethical principles and just became a grifter of some sort.

Due for a crossword stream, I'd say. Gonna finish last year's @tpfa.bsky.social set, then maybe @defector.com catchup. Will get online in, eh, 30 or 45 minutes. twitch.tv/thatpuzzleguy

Watching my favorite team put up a baker's dozen on Sunday Night Baseball is a good spirit lift on the flight home. And it inspires a question: What's the MLB record for the most runs a team has scored in a three-game series in which they were shut out in one of the games?
