I hate the Splenda ad with a passion.

Happy Father’s Day to all the HFBlues dads!

This is OT...

My Father's Day was the best

First, I slept in. As late as my body wanted to. It felt great.

When I woke up, I opened presents. I got: socks that are softer than soft, Adidas flip flops, 2 t-shirts, 2 Hawaiian shirts (I always wear Hawaiian on payday Friday), NHL 2020 for PS4 (my daughter and I play together and she is trying to get better to beat her Uncle in 2 weeks when she visits St. Louis), chocolate candies, a Blues blanket, a pillow and case, a card from my two daughters with their words that made me cry because it was so thoughtful and nice, and then I ordered my favorite pizza

A truly beautiful site to behold

Sounds like MLB was able to come to an agreement to play their season after all. For the sake of the Blues, I’m a little disappointed they didn’t just go straight into a labor dispute for their next CBA and scrap the season entirely.

Looks like Berube will be on spittin chiclets tomorrow

Formula 1 starts back up next weekend.

One time I was training a few engineers on particle distribution on a silicone wafer (part of semiconductor manufacturing).

One of the maps we were looking at showed nothing. Absolutely worthless. So I said, "And this map shows me dickwater."

They all turned their heads to the side, like a dog trying to understand.

One said, "Is that like deionized water?"

That’s a funny story.

Serious question, though. When these particles come into contact with the silicon wafer, do they arrange themselves in particular patterns?

And, if they do, does the pattern change as a function of frequency or some other variable?

Yes.

Other variables, but sometimes determined by frequency.

Actually, I never thought of the pattern changing.

Great question!

The semiconductor industry as a whole is not set up for that.

We just classify particles as is.

That is called IP or intellectual property.

Thank you

 

[Em etah Eh]

I demand that the NHL have a universal goal song these playoffs.

Hypa Hypa!

It was 118 degrees today in Phoenix

It's like living in an oven...

I usually stop going out when it gets over 120

I usually stop going out when it gets over 120

It’s been super hot out here lately. Usually, by now, I’m already up in Calgary, but not this year. Sucks.

My friends and family from St. Louis and Chicago ask me what the heat is really like here.

I usually describe it as preheating your oven to 475° and then opening the oven in your face.

The heat here is, literally, breathtaking.

Lots of Iraqis out here because the weather here is exactly like it is in Iraq. And I mean exactly.

And don’t let that dry heat nonsense fool anyone. We get hellacious monsoons. Imagine extreme rainfall when it’s 110°.

It is way f***ed up.

My mom retired to the Phoenix area. I don’t know why anyone wants to live there. It’s not suitable for life. If the power goes our for an extended time, people die.

Which is why they have an amazing power grid. I’ve never had any issues with power going down. And, inshallah, it will not.

The winters here are super nice. And, besides, there have been Native American tribes living here for a very long time. Quite suitable for life.

This pops into my head every time someone mentions Phoenix.

It is awful during the summer.

@Celtic Note might appreciate this. The civil engineering here is pretty amazing, but this place is definitely a monument to our arrogance with the waterways being rerouted to a degree that it makes no sense to have neighborhoods with homes on the water.

Man-made canals route much-needed water, so that rich people can live on a golf course with waterways.

And who suffers most? The Salt River Tribe.

If anyone is interested, The Lawrence Arms dropped their first album in 6 years last Friday. “Skeleton Coast” is so smooth and has their trademark bite.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Wow. Missouri governor seems to be bigger moron than the one we have in Texas.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Heads up, do not know how I missed this so I could be late but the season 8 of Letterkenny is on Hulu right now lol I just watched this so a couple months ago and it only had up to season 7 at that time.
