Tua on Fins' 1-4 start: 'Got to figure this out now' https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46503073/tua-tagovailoa-says-miami-dolphins-1-4-start-got-figure-now
I wasn’t feeling well this morning so I went into work late… still didn’t feel good after an hour so I went home. I biked both ways.
I’ve wondered how I might handle having to bike home from work if I wasn’t feeling well, but it was fine.
Did I feel great riding? No, but it wasn’t terrible either. Just gonna lie down the rest of the day.

Took another attempt at making #sushi. This time with salmon. Kiddo said this was good Sushi. And we're still alive. So can't be that bad.

@… I get the feeling that Evan is not interested in this conversation.
There was once a machine that told you "you want this" and "this is good." It said, "there can be no better system and it's foolish to try to build one." That machine has long since failed to function. Now you choke on fumes as it is consumed by the wild flames of an abandoned cause.
That machine could not possibly work anymore because the evidence of it's falsehood has become too overwhelming.
No, only abject terror now can keep you from plotting your escape, from creating an alternative. No, the illusion has long since broken. All that's left now is triggering fight, flight, freeze as hard as possible. Most will be paralyzed, and those who fight can be used as an excuse to escalate the terror.
These are the final stages of a dying sun, expanding and consuming it's children before the final supernova.
There is no longer a stable system, no longer a system with a future. All that remains is the spectacle that hopes to distract you long enough that you too can be consumed, that it may sustain itself a few moments longer.
My wife read some of the Discworld books years ago but lost interest, I have tried to get her hooked for a while.
This morning we collected an old edition of "Alles Sense" (Reaper Man) from the post office. She just wanted to have a quick peak inside. That was an hour ago. I silently retreated to another room.
Now I just heard her shout "I want a curry!" from the living room.
I'm feeling much better today (no abdominal cramps) but I drove to work because I've been having a lot of leg pain in the mornings, for about an hour or so after I get out of bed. It's the end of the year, traditionally the time I break myself... might need to look into physical therapy again. 😢
