Winter cricket and bridge thread - Held over by popular demand

That is NOT what we were discussing. I wish you some sort of peace, Vic. For you to choose to use this as yet another opportunity to dunk on someone in the middle of what we were discussing makes you a part of the very thing you’re fighting against. And I am guessing this speaks to a great deal of turmoil within you.

That is all I will say to you. Good luck with everything.

I do great… for a millennial who doesn’t work in finance or tech lol.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the Chapo live episodes are absolutely awful.

Live podcasts in general are the worst, you’d think people who work entirely in an audio medium would know how to record themselves talking or at least have someone around who does but nope, enjoy this podcast you have to crank to max volume to hear the hosts whisper and then have your ears destroyed by the crowd response. Looking at you, The Dollop.

My exception to this is How Did This Get Made. Terrific live episodes.

Consider this episode on Superman III (1983) with frickin’ guest Damon Lindelof. One of their most hilarious and insightful episodes.

And then there’s a part two with Jack O’Halloran!!! He played Non in Superman 2 (1980).

No such thing as a fish are pretty good at doing live versions of the show, probably since around half of them are live…

In it each of the researchers, collectively known as “The QI Elves”, present their favourite fact that they have come across that week.

This sounds great. Any favorite episodes in particular I might start with?

Just got back from the hospital with my mom and her surgery. It was a difficult process, but the surgery went well. My mom is a difficult person and patient. I’m not going to get into details, but I will comment that the importance of bedside manner, for some people, is hard to overstate. Literally the difference between managing and agony, between Tylenol and Fentanyl is made by whether people look at her when they talk to her, tell her what they are going to do before they do it, I mean ask her if it’s ok to do something to her, and not talk about her like she’s not there right in front of her.

Glad to hear the surgery went well. How are the recovery prospects? Should we get an Unstuck get well card together??? Dear micromom from the entire Unstuck team :grinning:

Thanks. 6 weeks to “heal”. She’s 77 years old and the reason she ended up with a broken ankle is because walking around wasn’t that easy for her in the first place. Hopefully she will get back to that point after some physical therapy, which hopefully she’ll do.

Not really, around Thanksgiving last year they were in the US and had some fun at our expense, but over all it is a really consistent show. If you like one you’ve got a few hundred more to look forward to…

And 99% of your posts are content-free feeble attempts to dunk on people in and endless attempt to prove how soooooooooooooo left you are.
