@Nate_Rubinstein Def agree! I just remembered a vague recollection of him saying "he just sent a TEXT message to the upper deck!" for Teixeira and I'm about to jump down a rabbit hole of his calls
@Nate_Rubinstein Never knew this, but it was the same thing for me! I had an XM Radio as a kid and Sterling's signature calls (it is high! It is far! It is gone!) and ridiculous player-tailored HR calls (The Grandy man can! The Giambino!) were oddly inspirational haha
Punxsutawney Phil's predictions since 1886:
Long winter - 107 times
Early spring - 20 (including today!)
Unknown - 11
War clouds blacked out the shadow - once (1942)
It's also important to know that he's bad at this, making a correct prediction about 35% of the time.
Had a thought yesterday that Triumph is the “Caillou’s dad” of rock bands. I think it’s fairly apt, but also largely pointless to tweet given that 75% of my followers have entirely forgotten about Caillou, 90% have never heard of Triumph, and 99% have abandoned Twitter entirely
(Unexpected development of my late twenties is that about the only time I have inspiration to tweet is while I’m sitting in a terminal or on a plane. Being half awake and cramped gets dem creative juices FLOWIN’)
Is there such a thing as airline-tailored electronic sizes? I’m tryna get a tablet built to fit snugly in the Frontier ashtray so I can watch Safe for Flight anime while the plane never takes off
@SimplePlanBG I once asked him if he’d seen any movies he’d liked recently (this was like set 3.5 or 4) and he went on a minutes long rant about how it was “off topic” and how he wished his chat would be like other chats where no one asked questions and just spammed emotes
@s_zickie So first they sent a message to my email with basic support tips and at the bottom there was something that said “if this doesn’t help reply and we’ll have someone get back to you”. I didn’t see that at first but once I did / replied they got back to me in a couple hours I think?
After that I had some time so I got tickets to an evening outdoor art exhibit called TeamLab Botanical Gardens which ended up being a really pleasant surprise
