If you can't imagine you could be wrong, what is the point of democracy? And if you can't imagine how or why others think differently, then how could you tolerate democracy? - Deborah Meier, highlighted in "A More Beautiful Question" #ListerLibrary

If there is one thing I will teach my kids it is JUST ASK THE QUESTION DIRECTLY ON TEAMS, No need for a "how are you" ...I'm not responding to that.

Trinidad is the most overrated QB in the country.
These are the Top 15 Quarterbacks in College Football Right Now. This is purely my opinion. Who am I sleeping on? Powered by @Pypeline_

Explain how having non-conference referees would end the conflict. Oh, suddenly the SEC referees favor the lower-ranked team. There is perceived conflict either way.
Tens of millions of dollars in CFP money are at stake, yet conferences are allowed to officiate games involving their own playoff contenders. After the Texas Tech targeting reversal, we need a serious conversation about the massive conflict of interest here.

A little fun Sunday

Re-watching Casper. Had no idea (or forgot) Squints was in it.

After my digital forensic analysis, “it’s clearly not a swing” 😂
This is how replay review would’ve looked if MLB allowed you to challenge a check swing (which they 100% should). As I said… it’s very clearly not a swing.

“Are you free for a call Wednesday at noon?” Did you bother to check the calendar?

I've received quotes that were outrageous from people driving 25 year old trucks with bald tires. If the quote is reasonable and you do quality work, I couldn't care less what you drive.
Look… I think Cybertrucks are cool. I like Teslas, I owned one. But… I think they’re one of the worst vehicles you can pick to put company graphics on, and it’s becoming common to see. Your company vehicle choice goes beyond what’s cool, what’s needed, or what saves money on fuel. It also needs to align with what a customer expects to see pull in their driveway. Your choice makes a first impression of your business. If you sell high end custom home cinema experiences, sure… get a Cybertruck, but for everyone else… no. I know you can get these relatively affordably now, but most people still see Tesla as a luxury brand. Would you buy a roof from someone who shows up to give you a quote driving a Lamborghini? Probably not. You’d be pretty suspicious of their price. Seems like an extreme example, but to non car people, they know excess and practical. Tesla is still seen as excess. They’re cool trucks, but they don’t match what I’d expect someone to drive who shows up to quote my roof, lawn, or patio.

Again, shocked that a World Series ticket is more than a game in April.
I agree. We sat front row in the outfield opening day and spent $40/ticket. Now that same seat is $2,000-3,000 They couldn’t sell it 6 months ago. Love the Rays. Rooting for them all the way, but actual fans are getting priced out of the WS.

I am pumped for the World Series. Who we pulling for? I want the Brewers to win.
It all begins Friday! Who will win the #WorldSeries for the first time? 🏆

My dad used to say he hated being first at the light (meaning he had to wait until the next cycle). I personally hate being second at the light wanting to turn right, behind someone who isn’t.

The raise I would need to stop working from home would be at least 10x.

Homemade Chipotle for 1/10000th of the price. And better.

Side hustle idea: go to your kids school on the last day and just collect all the costs, water bottles, and lunch boxes. Sell. Profit. Retire. 😂 Amazing the number of items just piled up.

Because the last time the Cowboys were relevant the middle aged men were kids.
Troy Aikman says middle-aged men have replaced kids as the biggest autograph seekers. He says autographs have become less popular as people now prefer photos, but he still gets asked by middle-aged men. “I do still get asked for autographs, usually outside hotels when I’m on the road for ESPN. They’re all men my age. I don’t get it.” “When I was a kid, I’d wait outside the ballpark hoping to get Nolan Ryan’s autograph. It was always kids. Now it’s middle-aged men waiting outside hotels hoping to get a jersey or football signed.” Dale Brisby says it’s pathetic Troy says it gets even funnier when parents ask him to sign something for their kids. “I’ve had parents walk up with an 8- or 9-year-old and say, ‘My son’s a big fan. Would you sign this?’ And the kid’s like, ‘Who is it? Dad, I don’t want his autograph.’”
