Missed this on launch day. Time Team expedition to Greece to continue the story of the Vlochos site. Very interesting, with quite a shift partway through the dig according to the discoveries in the ground www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_48...

Fun, if slow game, of #Humankind over the last few weeks. Lots of end of year activities at school etc gave very few evenings free. Huge map, all advanced leaders. Random land masses and all other parameters. Turned into a map with a lot of islands. Which I dealt with much better than the "AI"s

Toonigh Creek Falls (Allatoona Falls) in Woodstock, GA

I see him more as a MMA guy myself, but the point stands.

That OU Kicker is in for a rough ride the coming weeks. The turnaround was not on him, but the blame will be 100%

Seahawks win. That was a game well worth watching. #GoPackGo

The cat was being cute under the tree. I go to get my phone from the charger. Cat comes out from under the tree to follow me and the moment is gone. Acquiring images for the annual "picture taxes" should not be this hard

Steam replay Top 3 games in order: #Humankind #MasterOfOrion #CivV 42 Achievements in Humankind 40 in MOO 1 each in CIvV and XCOM2. Stull getting the odd one even in such old games Rarest Achievement was in MOO: Group Therapy (Diplomatic victory as Silicoid)

Wonderful thread of examples of idioms from Mesopotamia

I do not want your AI slop I do not want it in my mop I do not want it in my house I do not want it in my mouse I do not like brain-rotting AI spam I do not want it, Sam Alt-man

Always take the top spot.

Micah: I think the phrase rhymes with clucking bell. That is going to be a huge hole to fill.

It nearly THAT time. #GoPackGo

There is zero chance that this policy will NOT be used maliciously.

Got our Bannana Ball tickets confirmed for Truist Park Not the best seats in the house, but still going to be another fun experience with the 'Nanas

After an puncturing encounter with a rusty nail on Saturday, I got a TDaP booster today. About 6 years after my last one. The guidelines were met (> 5 years and a deep wound) and I figured why not get a booster before this Current CDC tries to take this away as well. Likely a sore arm tomorrow.

In Fantasy Football, I have almost certainly beaten my wife to knock her out of the playoffs, but in doing so almost certainly put my daughter into the playoffs. Whatever the eventual outcome I need to lie low for the rest of this week.

This is Winter football time.

Go Kennesaw State Owls, Conference USA Champions. My local university that I had significant professional ties with. Just their 2nd season as an FBS team.

A film where the wonderful actors absolutely made the most of a quite bad script. Plus a bangin' soundtrack. Will always watch if I stumble across it.

UK supreme court has 12 members, and only 5 hear most cases. Full court hearings are possible but rare. Plus they are recommended by an independent panel rather than a political appointment. The PM makes the actual nomination to the monarch, but per statute they MUST abide by the recommendation.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

I really need to get off my behind and consolidate all my outdoors stuff into a separate channel. Its all over the place on different platforms. Anyway folks, do your home PT exercises. www.youtube.com/shorts/6nBXW...

This Washington team, with the injuries is playing in a way that harks back to the Riggins and The Hoggs era. Can't say I dislike it, old fashioned smash mouth football.

They didn’t give the man a turkey leg and he never forgot.

Love the Packer's win, but the absolute best part was my daughter (14) lying up against me on the couch just enjoying the game together. I will take that sort of win above any other.

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

The New York Football Giants are officially eliminated from playoff contention. (I honestly couldn't tell you if that this just this week, but I literally just noticed it)

The only acceptable peace begins with Russia getting out of every inch of Ukraine. Then pay reparations, and then start demilitarizing THEMSELVES.

Speaking as a Packers fan, The Raiders should never have left interim head coach Rich Bisaccia out of the door. Its been a nightmare for them since they did so.

Putin needs to get the fuck out of Ukraine. There's a peace deal.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Oh Mai ! Treason Barbie is going to resign her seat ? I did not have that on my bingo card.

Pretty much this is my position, but I couldn't phrase it as elegantly.

There was an Asimov short story "The Dead past" where a researcher who invented a time viewer found his wife was obsessed with viewing their dead daughter's brief life. Nothing good will EVER come of fake AI personalities of dead relatives.

My daughter has to prepare a some debate points on "should we keep investing in nuclear power, or phase it out completely" and asked for a little guidance. She will have ALL the facts and figures ready at hand.

Not so good MACtion tonight. Back-up QB on one side is making it much less of a contest.

I could yet used to Tuesday night games as fun as this one. What say you @sickoscommittee.org ?

Have him buried at sea as the opening, then post credits a knife opens the burial bundle from the inside and he emerges with a small scuba tank and swims to some sort of underwater HQ, possibly hidden in a nearby famous wreck.

Played a quick game of Master of Orion, a game which I feel still lacks depth compared to Civ et al. Easy economic victory, so took the time to earn a couple of badges. Went for 007 (have seven spies on seven different races) which also got me Curious George (Spy on everyone)

🏈 JAX 29 - 36 HOU FINAL ✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1094th unique final score in NFL history.

Greenery alongside cycle tracks cuts the risk of flooding by managing stormwater locally, the hedge also makes a nice barrier between bikes and motor vehicles, reducing spray from motor vehicles during rain, as well as improving the look of the street.

You could pay a good wage to 3 actual butlers (in a trenchcoat), and still have lots of money left over for the cost of these things.

Protected cycle tracks are not just for cyclists, they allow more freedom for those with mobility issues

I was 10 or 11 when I saw the Alien chest burster scene with a bunch of friends. Our parents (4 sets) had secured an illicit VHS copy to "keep us entertained" while they partied in the next room. The age range of kids was about 14 to about 6. Gen X represent.

I know we ( I ) may bitch about the Packers Special Teams, but it is league wide different this year. Lots more yardage, lots more chip shot misses, lots more blocked punts and FGs. The only consistent thing is flags on returns.

Meep Meep!

Latest Humankind game wound to an inevitable conclusion, this one was "won" early with a nearly unassailable lead set in the Classical (II) era I chose the Goths and got maximum militarist (defeats) points, as well as plenty of other stars.

Today's election choices. City council, 2 races that a MAGA type has decided that a city with the lowest millage rates in GA and the lowest in its history is full of "frivolous waste", easy chocies there, the 3rd in unopposed.

The Speaker of the House when asked about the origins of the phrase, replied "I haven't heard about it, and could not comment"
