Sriracha -- September 16, 2022

Sriracha: link here.

Tesla: gassing with propane.

Bogus graphic: link hereHere. Here.

  • small print: "highest growth year/year" -- not favorite restaurant
    • but, a wake-up call for Whataburger, 
    • which sold out to Chicago investing group in 2019
  • parameters not well spelled out
Streaming:
  • iPad
  • Hulu + Amazon Prime + Firestick TV
  • Apple TV
  • linked: Pluto TV

Streaming:

  • absolutely incredible
  • Apple ecosystem
  • can seamlessly move from iPad to huge desktop Mac monitor to large, flat-screen Philips monitor (the latter with Firestick TV)

NFL: Thursday Night Football -- link here:

Although the game will be available on television in the home markets of any team that plays on Thursdays, everyone else will have to watch the game on Prime (This means that tonight's game will be on over-the-air television in both Los Angeles and Kansas City). 

  • Amazon, TNF: an-eleven-year deal
  • announcers: two of the biggest names -- Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit
  • incredible TNF schedule this year
    • we talked about this before
  • mixing metaphors: Amazon hit a home run with NFL TNF
  • Bezos (Amazon) sitting with Goodell (NFL commissioner) at game.

  •  Seamlessly watched game from iPad to Philips monitor (Amazon Prime, Firestick TV)

Predicted:

  • I predicted the Chiefs by two TDs over LA Chargers
  • I was almost correct
  • should have said, Chiefs by two possessions (TD + FG)
  • that's about how it ended, except for a last minute TD by Chargers when it no longer mattered

Other:

  • Justin Herbert; incredible; played in more pain than Zak
  • rookie from Washington State: hero
  • could be one of the most competitive NFL seasons ever
  • compared to Belichick: Patrick Mahomes / Andy Reid -- world-class orators; rank right up there with Rory McIlroy

Brittney Griner:

  • things not getting any better;
  • my hunch: with US considering long-range missiles for Ukraine, Putin has quit negotiations over Griner
  • continuing that conversation: long-range missiles in Ukraine -- a game-changer; not exactly sure what Putin can do; there are no military targets in Ukraine worthy of tactical nuclear strike.

The book page:

Weights: benefits of lifting weights. My daily exercise regimen includes:

  • treadmill: 70 - 75 minutes / day  -- generally 0800 - 0930; six days / week;
    • Duolingo during warm-up on treadmill, or
    • book, summer reading program
  • rowing: 10 - 15 minutes / day -- generally right after treadmill; but often skip;
    • although getting better; will replace swimming with rowing when weather doesn't permit swimming
  • swimming: 40 minutes / day -- weather-permitting -- only during four - five months of the year
  • weights: 15 minutes / day -- almost every day; upper body only
  • biking: 40 minutes / day -- good weather only, now; used to bike every day, but have gotten lazy; in addition to 40-minute hilly circuit; bike everywhere for errands
