It was a fun morning out with local radio club supporting the mountain bike race for the Cornhusker State Games.
I don’t like these MLS vs ___________ games. If MLS wins, the other team is in preseason — of course MLS should have won. If MLS loses, the other team is much better, of course MLS lost. Last years against LigaMX All Stars was the best iteration of this they’ve had.
I really enjoyed the first couple episodes of #silo on AppleTV+ and decided to blast through the first book from 2011, which I hadn’t even heard of. It was a fantastic story, but I’m not sure what light it has shed on the TV series. I assume the book and show are headed to the same destination, but they are certainly taking some different paths to get there.
@tsherrygeo Yep. The Whole XYL, YL, OM thing amongst others needs to go. I don’t expect that anybody that has used these for years and thinks nothing of them will drop them, but more and more of us can just refuse to adopt it going forward and hopefully phase them out over time.
@cpultz Bo Knows Hiccups
@mrwilson One could make the argument based on youth participation and national team performance that IF you need to qualify one, it should be the boys that get the tag.
@mrwilson Thank you. It seems that things like “lady huskers” are in the past, but then you see goofy things like this. Should be an easy fix if someone wanted to do it. The place I saw it this morning is the score embeds on the NSAA “Soccer Championships HQ” site: https://nsaahome.org/nsaa-soccer-championships-hq/
@cpultz This is awesome. I love it. I'm a big user of terms like "please", "just", "simply". I also frequently add exclamation marks. I would have a lot of self-censoring to do if I were writing for them.
I wish U.S. sports would be more selective about when our Anthem is performed. The only option we have is to go beyond that by adding on extra songs (America the Beautiful, God Bless America, Lift Every Voice...) It's particularly awkward with soccer when a large number of our players are not U.S. citizens, so they just stand there waiting for the match to start. Let's save the anthem for Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July, etc.
@mrwilson thankfully morse (CW) isn’t part of the licensing anymore or I’m not sure I would have gotten into it, but that’s definitely something I would like to learn.
Was adjusting the rabbit ears your favorite part of watching TV? #HamRadio May be for you! 😂
@cpultz well then it is compressed as though it passed through a black hole. When moving from one end of the floor to the other, everything just becomes a piece of impressionist art.
@cpultz not being 4K is one thing but this looks like garbage. There is no reason for it. Apples new MLS coverage is 1080 and looks amazing.
Signs of Spring: Bike Rides, Baseball and Storm Spotter Training or know-your-cloud-anatomy. Hoping for a quiet season on the plains.
Been taking off #openingday for as long as I remember, but many have been a bust between skimpy day-one schedules and early-spring weather postponing many of them. Today looks glorious with a full schedule and good weather. 3 hours until there is meat on the grill and multiple games on the TV. Play Ball! ⚾️
@megahertz Hold on. Let me swing my antenna around to your direction and increase my power. Can you say that again? 😁
@cpultz maybe the new steelhouse in Omaha will bring some of those back into the area
For #waterfallwednesday , Smith Falls in Nebraska — the highest waterfall in the state and a requisite stop while floating down the nearby Niobrara River.
@simon I can't even remember what caused it to pop up. A bike-rental maybe? I was surprised when it did — thought "Hey! There's one of those things!" — and have never seen one again.
@cpultz maybe you’ve just lowered your standards? :-)
@fatherroderick I’ve always enjoyed your projects, particularly some of the earliest where you would walk, talk and record your surroundings… almost like Apple’s “Time to Walk” — but nearly 20 years earlier 😁 I’m glad to hear you are embracing Mastodon and look forward to more of your posts here.
@zacharybaehr I think that was back in December some time. :-)
Listening to my physician-wife dictate a note about a patient’s period to dragon is “who’s-on-first”-level comedy. I asked how it is at discerning the menstruation from the punctuation and she said “usually pretty good”. Amazing.
