WFH today, and it's a lot better than I remembered. The biggest improvement is that I block out all my working time on my calendar, so I always know what I want to be working on. Doesn't make the builds go any faster though.


I did this while I was working from home a couple years ago. Started developing some back pain while sitting on a $100 Office Depot chair. One of the better decisions I made that year.

Remote working pro tip: you NEED a good chair (and good posture but that comes after). I got my Herman Miller Mirra 2 for a few hundred dollars, cash. Brand new it's $1,125 but I got it for the same as a shoddy chair from Staples. Here's how:

I played Leaf in 1998. And I picked up Darnold on Saturday.

Since Sam Darnold is now starting to slip into the "worst game in fantasy history" discussion: His minus-8.1 points right now would be the ninth-worst by any player since at least 1950, and the worst since Ryan Leaf had minus-9.7 in Week 3 of 1998.

Did not expect Jets-Bills to be on the big TV at 1pm PT - but definitely expected a Jets fan to be reacting like this.

In regard to Bills’ interest in signing Antonio Brown, team source replies (and I’m copying and pasting the exact text): 🤣


Thank goodness I saw that after school special about not having a fantasy football draft 2 weeks before the season starts


I use Docs instead of a notebook at my desk, so I've pretty much stopped handwriting altogether. I just wrote a barely-legible birthday card and I feel like I've got to ice my forearm.

I'm super biased, but I can't imagine putting a barrier up in front of someone's enthusiasm to start something with an obvious upside - but I see it happen often.

Yeah I buy this. I wouldn't begrudge a peer for leaving for a raise - if anything I'd be annoyed at the company for not matching. And we're rarely expected to risk concussions.
