Caratini GIDP with 2 on, 0 out was a killer. Meyers put good contact on the ball and would have been an easy sac fly, but don't mean shit with 2 outs.

Hader will be coming in for the 9th quite taxed. Insurance run or 5 would be nice.

Blastfurnace 2024
Spent the last 12 days in Europe. Don't think I experienced a temperature above 88 at any point. Just got back yesterday evening. Glad to see I got back just in time to catch the 3 hottest days of the entire Summer (thus far).

Switzerland in the summer
Glad I stumbled on this thread over the weekend. Wife and I are leaving for a big Europe trip on Thursday and will be spending the 2nd half of the trip in Switzerland. Couple of nights in Lucerne and then a quick train trip out to Interlakken and/or Grindelwald for a bit. Last stop is Geneva for a day or two and then return flight home.

Was quite nice to take the dogs on a walk this morning and not get back home drenched in sweat. Current forecast through the end of July is basically the exact opposite of last Summer. At this point in July 2023, we were already a few weeks into the seemingly never-ending stretch of brutal heat and drought at this point last year and didn't finally catch a break until the middle of September.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
Ronel Blanco and Hunter Brown leading the Summer Surge. A guy named "Tayler" getting signed for league minimum after being waived for the 5th time and being arguably the best 6th inning guy in MLB. . Pressly loses the closer job and looks like a washed-up turd through Memorial Day. Comes back from the dead and becomes an untouchable 8th inning setup man. Offense finally hits its stride after our MVP-contender who was raking goes down for 2 months. Just like we all drew it up.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

- Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
Depressing story out of Beaumont, but at least a happy ending. Old man commits suicide by cop, leaves a note asking for his dog to be taken care of. Hundreds of people immediately offered to adopt and he already has a new home and new brother. https://www.12newsnow.com/article/news/local/man-fatally-shot-by-police-leaves-behind-note-asking-dog-be-taken-care-of/502-2952a1c3-35c1-4f14-9f7a-a59e8a9cbe88- Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
In my experience, that's just how dogs are. We've been feeding our 2 the exact same kibble for a decade. Previous attempts to try other diets or even other brands have ended in diarrhea. Hell, one of my dogs has his stomach gurgle non-stop and loses his appetite for the evening after going to the kennel b/c the treats they have aren't the same as the ones they get at home.- 2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM
Now that almost everyone has power back, I notice that Houston is still dealing with Beryl hangover. Traffic has been worse than ever the last few days and I'm not talking about highways. I think it's a combination of several lights still being out and shipping delays. Seen more 18-wheelers on city streets than ever before. I was heading back towards my house yesterday morning and the line of traffic waiting at the light at Yale and 610 was backed up all the way north the railroad tracks at 34th. Over 50% or more were freight vehicles. You would have had to sit through 6-7 light cycles to get through.- Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
Facebook has become totally overrun with foreign click-bait accounts that post AI-generated garbage. Stuff depicting American-ish soldiers, often with prosthetic limbs, seems to be de rigueur. Typically there will be one or more grotesque baby-like abominations in the image as well. There will be thousands of replies from a mix of bots and credulous boomers, all saying "God bless" and/or "Thank you for your service."- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Bingo. It's because they are used to communicating through implication/suggestion and bait questions (i. e. asking you about your day b/c they want you in turn to ask about their day so they can tell you about some drama) You can ask a yes or no question that literally has no "wrong" answer. Something like, "Hey babe, how are we looking on dog food? Do I need to pick up another bag on the way home?" It becomes a multiple choice question of "what did he REALLY mean by that?" "Is he being passive-aggressive to imply that I should have already picked some up?"- Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
This was a fun one earlier. Backstory: We had to completely empty our fridge and freezer following Beryl power outage. Wife just got back in town from a work trip earlier this afternoon. I was planning to hit up the grocery store on way home from work this evening to grab a few essentials. Quick call to my wife before I leave the office and stop at HEB. Me: "Hey, did you happen to go to the store when you got back today?" Her: "No, I thought you were going. I didn't know I was supposed to." Me: "You weren't supposed to, I'm just making sure you didn't so we don't end up double buying anything." Her: "I'm sorry." Me: "You don't need to apologize. You weren't supposed to go." Her: "I can go if you don't want to stop on the way home." Me: "Jesus Christ."- 2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM
Damn, that's brutal. Only 45K outages left per latest update. You're in the final 1.5%. What neighborhood?- Blastfurnace 2024
