purely for music streaming(while at work mostly) which is better Spotify or Sirius?
Unless things have changed recently, with Sirius you're moreso at the mercy of the channel for what music you hear. I haven't had Sirius for a few years so can't confirm if that still applies. With Spotify you have all the freedom to listen to exactly what you want. Specific artists, specific mixes, similar bands, etc. You have that control if that's what you want, but you can still essentially listen to the "radio" as well. I think it really depends on what you're looking for and how you like to listen to music.

I think I tore my ab muscles on my right side while sitting on the can and sneezing hard. Heard popping and a sharp burning pain. Hurts to sneeze, cough and even bend over. I do leg raises to work my abs but looks like I strained them and the sneeze in a seated position put me over the top. Had this once before and healed after a week but this seems alot worse but pain/burn not constant just when I strain the muscles. Getting old blows!

But hey at least it is sunny in Philadelphia!

Dislocated my shoulder in late August. Took a minor tumble the day before, but shoulder didn't hurt. Pushed off in an odd way getting out of bed the next morning and it popped out. Turns out there was significant arthritis. Something popped 3 decades ago while playing hoop. Didn't get it checked and fought through, playing volleyball and softball. Now the only choice is replacement. Yes getting old sucks.

The injuries getting in and out of bed or even turning/contorting the wrong way are the most humbling! A few weeks ago I turned my leg in bed in some odd way and tweaked my knee. Was sore for about 3 days. The sucky part about these freak injurries is I have to shut down my exercise regimen until I feel better not to make it worse. At least when I played ice hockey and got hurt it was legit. This shit is just God messin with me....reminding me I'm getting older. Can't even sleep or take a dump in peace!

Everytime I see the videos for the Apple Vision Pro and people walking around town or driving their tesla's wearing these things I think man, what a rich asshole. Then i want one, simply to watch movies on. Depending on how i do on tax money though i may look at the XReal Air 2's which are like $300 compared to 3500 for the apple vision pro...lets me have the windows/mac desktop mirroring i was looking for and they advertise the screen for watching movies/tv looks like its 300 inches

While I don't follow team sports much other than hockey, this is a compelling listing of how much money is bet just for the month of January.

New Jersey tops the list.

This list doesn't include parimutuel wagering where roughly $10 billion was bet in total last year. The top five horse tracks in January:
  1. Gulfstream (Florida) (206 races) $209 million
  2. Santa Anita (California) (123) $99
  3. Aqueduct (New York) (121) $80
  4. Tampa Bay (Florida) (154) $68
  5. Fair Grounds (Louisiana) (156) $54
