Might also post pictures of my weirder cat, I guess.
Packers win

Cowboys fans get false hope

Chiefs probably out of playoff race

A happy Thanksgiving indeed!

Grabbed on a whim and they are both... not good. Too sticky sweet (think melted cherry chapstick) and too spiced (in a bad way), respectively.

HOWEVER!

Mix them and you've got a decent beer. Huh.

Picked up Crypt Custodian on a whim (2D action adventure Metroidvania) and it was pretty charming. Only took a few nights to 100%, so it wasn't very challenging, but it was fun. I recommend!

The best part is that one of these men is a good writer and the other isn't, so you get to experience*that* while you learn your first bit of econometrics.

I'll stick to what I know: spoonfuls of pure granulated sugar.

You're not tricking me!

Welcome to the world of Article 2 judges. While there are specialized (and highly professional) uses like bankruptcy judges, non-Article 3 courts are generally rubber stamps for their agency.

If only we had written something down about this somewhere!

Super Kitties + Paw Patrol led to some arts and crafts for the smaller cat.

(Don't worry, she got a lot of treats for being a good sport for pictures)

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

He's had this donut toy on his head for at least 5 min (the 3 yo put it there).

"Non" means "infinitely many, maybe", because of course it does.

Would I ever play the demo for a game where you, a dinosaur wielding a greatsword, fight other dinosaurs wielding fantasy weapons?

No, but this looks awesome

How my two cats respond to tissue paper. Glee and fury (?)

If you just need to hang a picture or something, monkey hooks are great

Otherwise, the ones that screw in are the least likely to be absolutely terrible. There is no "good" drywall anchor, unfortunately, just various degrees of "this will make you homicidal".

This was the most important takeaway from my undergrad forecasting class

Lots of aggregates or policy choices have runs where forecasting them *looks* trivial (high R-squared! Woot), & then the world changes & you find out you have no idea what you're doing

Imagine thinking you figured this out...
