    Hidden gems on Disney+?

    It's always easy to cancel one and re-subscribe to the other. Not that I want to make a habit of doing that regularly

    Kind of a weird looking thing. I like the white controller though.

    Wait for some people to beat it and then read a plot summary / FAQ That's why I started borrowing games from our local library instead of buying them.

    Hidden gems on Disney+?

    I don't think Hulu or ESPN+ are available in Canada, so no bundle for me. That seems like a pretty good deal though. If we get Disney+ then I will cancel my Netflix subscription, and actually save a few bucks a month as a result. It's mainly just my kid who watches Netflix, so if she wants Disney+ then the trade off is losing Netflix. She didn't seem to mind when I mentioned that last night.

    Hoops 2019/20

    I watched live until... about 4 minutes before halftime, I think. Then I switched to the Jays game (They were losing too but they came back with a huge 10-run 6th inning to win 12-7... The Raptors weren't coming back against the Celtics )

    Probably don't even need to play the second half tonight Better luck in game 6, hopefully. I have very little confidence after watching the first half of this game though

    Hidden gems on Disney+?

    I can't really comment since we don't have Disney+ (yet). My daughter is bugging me to subscribe so she can watch all the Disney, Pixar, and NatGeo stuff. It's not too expensive - $8.99 / month IIRC - but I am a bit hesitant to add yet another streaming service to our monthly budget... Do you guys and girls think Disney+ is worth it?

    The Bucks finally won a game against the Heat today - mostly without Giannis. I'm not sure if they can win another though.

    Hoops 2019/20

    From a game recap thing on nba.com: You love to hear it (Here's hoping they don't run out of gas too early! There's no travel though, and they were off for a few months before the restart... they really shouldn't be *that* tired)

    Hoops 2019/20

    Kyle's the heart of this team. When he's aggressive, making shots, drawing fouls, the team does well. Fred wasn't amazing last night, but he hit his shots when it really counted. And Serge was a great spark off the bench. Siakam, Fred, and Kyle played 46, 45, and 44 minutes last night respectively. And Kyle and OG each played huge minutes in game 3. Nurse is going to have to keep riding these guys to win this series.

    2-2, they're back in it!

    2019-20 NHL Season

    I guess it's a good experience for the team then (mostly young players, I assume?). Maybe they can learn from it and come back stronger next year. I hope the Blue Jays can accomplish something similar this year. They're on a bit of a roll right now and in the thick of the AL Wild Card race. If they can get in as the WC team, they have the potential to cause some trouble for whatever team they would play in the Division Series. I doubt they'd win a series, but it would be a good experience for the team and they could make the other team sweat a little bit.

    Expectations weren't super high for the Canucks going into the season, right?

    Odometer Milestones

    Last week as I was driving around, the odometer in my company truck hit 333333 km (three hundred thousand three hundred thirty three). Sadly, I only took ownership of it when it had approx. 225000 km on it already, so I didn't get to see it roll over 111111 or 222222. For whatever reason, I take great joy in seeing these random odometer numbers, especially long repeating numbers like 333333 and palindromic numbers (eg, it would have rolled over 331133 not too long ago). Big, round numbers like 100,000, 200,000, etc. are fun too, but not quite as fun. I guess now I'll wait and see if the engine has enough life left in it to get to 444444 km! Who else here drives a lot and enjoys seeing numbers like this come up on their odometer? How many miles/kms are on your vehicle right now? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Odometer Milestones

    It also depends on how much you drive and how frequently you trade in your vehicles. Some people never make it to big numbers on their odometer. I do outside sales and my territory is basically all of southwestern Ontario, so I normally drive a lot (COVID-19 has of course changed everything). And the company isn't keen on spending lots of money right now, so I'm basically driving this truck until it dies. Slow and steady, the klicks will keep adding up. I'm back out on the road a bit more these days.

    Odometer Milestones

    It's a bummer when I miss a good number on my odometer. I am always aware when something cool is coming, but if I forget about when I'm driving I miss it

    Odometer Milestones

    Wowzers, 800000 km is pretty nuts. I wonder how much of that truck is still original?

    Hoops 2019/20

    They dug themselves into a hole in first half. Not easy playing from behind, especially against a team that seems to be better overall right now. But it was promising to see them outscore the Celtics in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Let's keep that up going into game 4 and really make it a series please! Had they not totally blown the 4th quarter of game 2, they'd be up 2-1 now...

    Hoops 2019/20

    Well, they pulled out a win. They needed that performance from Lowry. VanVleet was better too. Guard play seems to be the key to winning this series. It's a bad match up for Siakam, and he isn't a superstar kinda guy like like Kawhi (or even Tatum) who can get a basket at any time for the team.

    Guess WAT?

    I made a Discord account back near the start of the pandemic to try to reconnect with some Internet buds from an old forum from forever ago. Turns out we were all either to lazy to actually login or never online at the same time as each other. Might as well have just kept posting on a forum. So in response to the topic question, "What do?" Deactivate/delete that sucker and post more here!

    2019-20 NHL Season

    I just took a look at the bracket because I don't even know which teams are in or out anymore... Good to see the Bruins out. And I hope the Flyers are next to go. I probably won't watch any games, but I would maybe jump on the Isles' bandwagon if they get to the Cup Finals. There aren't any likeable teams left in the West
  25. Apparently Erased is on Netflix now. I might have to give that one a re-watch soon
