Welcome to the DBD, a W4C community board where one can talk about pretty much anything, like…
Andrew Walter Reid (born March 19, 1958) is an American football coach who is the head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). Reid was previously head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles from 1999 to 2012. From 2001 to 2012, he was also the Eagles' executive vice president of football operations becoming the general manager. He is the only NFL coach to win 100 games and appear in four consecutive conference championships with two different franchises. Reid is regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.
Weekdays: I make a pot of coffee every morning, 30g of beans / 750 ml of water, and drink as much as feels right. Sometimes I drink of cup of tea in the afternoon.
Weekends: large mug of tea in the morning / mokka pot coffee in the afternoon (typically an Americano), or industrial strength coffee from a phin in the morning.
At home: Two 12 oz cups of coffee + milk in the morning. If the mood hits me, dark chocolate in the afternoon. Traveling: Cappuccino in the morning, espresso pick me up in the afternoon. Caffeine cut off ~3 pm.
Very rarely do I get a Mocha or a Latte. I don't think caffeine really wakes me up. Sometimes I'll get it if I have to get up early on the weekend for something like a Miata club drive, since those usually start right near a coffee shop
Best Mexican Mocha is Cole's Coffee on College a block from Boichick. Usually I get those in pairs. One of the best mochas is Red Whale Coffee in San Rafael.
Mrs Slug and I use heavy cream to doctor our coffee during the holidays (from mid-November to mid-January). That's because we use it for making whipped cream to top pies and as an ingredient in Aunt Ruthie's Egg Nog (ahem; recipe provided upon request).
I usually drink my coffee black even during that time, but it is fun on occasion to have that dose of heavy cream or whipping cream (not to be confused with whipped cream). Whipped cream is also fun as a change of pace.
A cuppa in the morning. It varies in volume depending primarily on whether I'm working or not. I like to linger over a larger cuppa in the morning on the weekends.
Sometimes during late fall and well into winter I will have a pot of Lapsang Souchong sometime after lunch if I need a little kick.
my espresso machine turns itself on at 630a and on till 1100p every day.
700a - cortado, daily
200p-ish - an afternoon espresso, about 1/2 the time
after dinner - maybe an espresso especially if there a 1000p start time for a Cal game. but this only happen 2-3 times a week and rarely do i have 3 espressos a day.

Garmin Fenix 6 - not sure if that counts. i dont use music or notification features and i only really wear it when i exercise, ski, hike. it does nicely integrate w/ Strava, AllTrails, my various power meters, etc.
the main "smart feature" i bought it for, incident detection, did get used as advertised.
i crashed on my bike about 1.5 yrs ago and was unconscious on the road and taken to hospital eventually. it automatically sends a text to my wife and brother in law. my wife was out of town for work but my bro-in-law checked the map and saw that i was in the hospital and started calling around to inform the rest of the family.
while i dont think it "saved my life", it do a good job of keeping people informed ...
I bought an apple watch a few weeks ago, mostly for the movement reminders and the integration with apple fitness, which is an appropriate toolset for someone who is in terrible shape and trying to get back to exercise. I think the best you could say is that I'm "building consistency" about exercise, but it's been useful to get some data on heart rate, and I'm doing a decent job of getting the extraneous notifications under control. I also like being able to change the watch face in a second or two.
Garmin on the left wrist, analog watch on the right. 🙄. Yeah, I’m a data driven type but I do like my jewelry. My colleagues give me grief, my kids roll their eyes, Mr. CG says nothing.
I was an analog guy with many watches for different occasions, but I bought a smart watch so I can listen to music without taking a phone on a run. Now I can't go back.
All of my other watches have dead batteries now. I occasionally use Tag watch that does not need batteries.
I have been getting some guff around the house b/c I always have worn a regular watch on my right wrist, and since Apple recommends wearing their watch on your non-dominant hand, you can now often find me with a watch on both wrists.
When I used to wear a watch, I liked Swatches. I had a few. My first was the original see through one. Then I had a chronograph and also one of the auto wind ones. Mine were usually the plain ones, not the weirdly designed ones they are known for.
Nope. Google did offer $200 off the Pixel watch but I opted for the free Pixel Pro buds. I already have the Pixel Lite buds (from No 2's Pixel 6A), but I definitely won't use the watch.
Maxwell is playing four sold out concerts with the National Symphony Pops. I noticed on the event page that it states that all phones, smartwatches, and accessories are required to be placed in a locked pouch when in the performance space.
Jazz Fest in New Orleans is a must attend. Only one of the many stages is actually jazz-- soooo much variety throughout the grounds, with huge headliners every year plus amazing food booths, and a can't-beat bar, music and food scene at night after the official Fest shuts down. A great place to catch some shade and something I don't often hear live is the gospel tent.
among my favorites, but i am still quite a novice compared to my understanding of things. for me, western classical music is better organized and easier to keep track of eras, genres, etc.
next up to see in person .. Steve Miller at Lincoln Center Jazz. will be interesting contrast to the Steve Miller Band stuff we grew up with.
Friday the 13th occurs 48 times in any 28-year period that includes 7 leap years. It is possible to have a 28-year period with only 6 leap years. For that to happen, the century year must not be evenly divisible by 400. 1900 was such a year and 2100 will be another instance. But I digress.
Each month has a Friday the 13th four times in any 28-year period, one of those times in a leap year. Friday, October 13th occurred in 2000 (a century leap year) , 2006, 2017, and 2023. Friday, October 13 will occur in 2028, 2034, 2045, and 2051. You can repeat the pattern with certainty up to 2090.
In the past 28 years, there were 12 years in which there was only 1 Friday the 13th, including 1997 (June), 1999 (August), 2000 (century leap year; October), 2003 (June), 2005 (May), 2008 (leap year; June), 2010 (August), 2011 (May), 2014 (June), 2016 (leap year; May), 2021 (August), and 2022 (May).
In the past 28 years, there were 12 years in which there were 2 Fridays the 13th, including 1996 (September, December), 2001 (April, July), 2002 (September, December), 2004 (February, August), 2006 (January, October), 2007 (April, July), 2013 (September, December), 2017 (January, October), 2018 (April, July), 2019 (September, December), 2020 (leap year; March, November) and 2023 (January, October).
In the past 28 years, there were 4 years in which there were 3 Fridays the 13th, including 1998 (February, March, November), 2009 (February, March, November), 2012 (leap year; January, April, July), and 2015 (February, March, November).
War in Israel. War in Ukraine. The federal government shutting down in 35 days. These are uncertain times.
But there is one eternal truth, one unwavering constant to steady us when all else is in flux: Every time the House Republican majority tries to govern, it’s guaranteed to turn into a goat rodeo.
And so it happened again this week, as Republicans tried to elect a new speaker to replace Kevin McCarthy, whom they deposed in a coup the previous week.
COMMENTARY: The author, Dana Milbank, writes about the various machinations and events of the past week. I was struck by the surreal aspect of the recitation, thinking, "You can't make this stuff up!"
We're in for a long haul before we get a new Speaker.
Do you think any of this actually permeates down to average voter, in the sense that all this chaos demonstrates to average voter that GOP is unfit to govern and thus pushes them to vote Democrat in 24? I wish it would but somehow I doubt it
I think it makes a difference to the independent voter who truly doesn't lean towards the Dems or the GOP (rare).
However, there's also another factor at play here: voter enthusiasm. This could hurt the GOP candidates up and down the ballot as voters who identify with the GOP might have their enthusiasm to vote dampened by the recent shenanigans. This is why some Dems are discreetly cheering on the GOP dysfunction; the more the GOP reps look like clowns, the less likely their voters will go to the polls. Also, voters who identify with the House Freedom Caucus may also be discouraged by the inability of that Congressional faction to attain their goals.
What would really cement it for many voters would be if the Dems were able to pull off the political coup of the century - elect a Speaker while in the minority.
Depends on how long it lasts. If it keeps going and we have a government shutdown because the GOP caucus can't get its shit together, then yeah I think average voters will notice.
I sure hope so. I mean it's anecdotes, but I've seen more than a handful of news pieces on former Republicans that are becoming disillusioned with the party – sometimes because of the extremism, sometimes because of ridiculous loyalty to Trump even in the midst of indictments, and sometimes because of a clear demonstrated inability to govern and propensity for stupid drama.
The dysfunction within the GOP conference is palpable. This snippet from WaPo:

Although Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) clinched the majority to become speaker-designate, it remains unclear whether he has the 217 votes needed to actually wield the gavel. What isn’t helping him in terms of garnering broader support is how his allies have behaved. According to two people familiar with the matter, Jordan allies threatened vulnerable Republicans representing districts that President Biden won in 2020, telling them that if they don’t vote for the Judiciary Committee chairman behind closed doors, they will get primaried. The threat was a huge turnoff for some moderates, who vowed never to support him.
COMMENTARY: These clowns can't get out of their own way. I'm amazed at what appears to outright and deliberate sabotage. This is surreal. You can't make this stuff up.
“House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) said it’s time for Jeffries and the Democrats to make an offer: “We’re willing to work with them, but they’ve got to tell us what they need.” Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) said “we’re open to anything that’s reasonable.” And a prominent moderate, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), added that “in the end, a bipartisan way may be the only answer, because we have eight to 10 people that do not want to [govern].”
That stadium was absolutely electric! I mean I know they are nuts (as a kid I went to a game there and saw them boo Darren Daulton’s child on Fathers Day bc he was in a slump), but you can tell the players really feed off that energy.
On this day in 2017 in Memorial Stadium the Golden Bears defeated Washington State 37-3. The Cougars went into the game ranked eighth in the nation but under first year coach Justin Wilcox, Cal would force seven turnovers and sack Wazzu QB Luke Falk nine times. Cameron Bynum had two interceptions for the Bears whose victory raised their record to 4-3. The offensive hero was quarterback Ross Bowers who connected on 21 passes in 38 attempts for 259 yards and a TD. He also had a spectacular seven-yard touchdown run/flip. Vic Enwere ran for 102 yards. It seemed Cal’s future was bright under Wilcox…..

ACC scheduling model. Looks like a 7 year rotating schedule with the “original” 14 teams making no more than 3 trips per seven year cycle to CA. And 8 conference games. Almost assures SMU will be a regular fixture on the Bears schedule.
So there are 52 California games in 7 years for the Atlantic teams, 26 each at Cal and Stanford. We need 28 home games, and Stanford provides the other 2, so it might be that we don't see SMU any more than any other team.

What's your caffeine routine? (if any)
Around 3 days per week I'll have an espresso around 2 if I start getting tired while working
Coffee..big
Weekdays: I make a pot of coffee every morning, 30g of beans / 750 ml of water, and drink as much as feels right. Sometimes I drink of cup of tea in the afternoon.
Weekends: large mug of tea in the morning / mokka pot coffee in the afternoon (typically an Americano), or industrial strength coffee from a phin in the morning.
I avoid it like the plague. At this point I have zero tolerance for it.
Every day, black, about 6 cups - good stuff every morning.
At home: Two 12 oz cups of coffee + milk in the morning. If the mood hits me, dark chocolate in the afternoon. Traveling: Cappuccino in the morning, espresso pick me up in the afternoon. Caffeine cut off ~3 pm.
I’m a degenerate so usually a Lo Carb Monster or Sugar Free Red bull.
I have been drinking less of them and am trying to give them up all together.
I make a pot of tea each morning that is 1/3 caffeinated/ 2/3 decaf and use it for iced tea all day.
None.
Very rarely do I get a Mocha or a Latte. I don't think caffeine really wakes me up. Sometimes I'll get it if I have to get up early on the weekend for something like a Miata club drive, since those usually start right near a coffee shop
Best Mexican Mocha is Cole's Coffee on College a block from Boichick. Usually I get those in pairs. One of the best mochas is Red Whale Coffee in San Rafael.
i like Philz for sweet and creamy drinks that taste like coffee
Heavy cream, it’s like cheating! But also so delicious!
Yes indeed! Never!
Mrs Slug and I use heavy cream to doctor our coffee during the holidays (from mid-November to mid-January). That's because we use it for making whipped cream to top pies and as an ingredient in Aunt Ruthie's Egg Nog (ahem; recipe provided upon request).
I usually drink my coffee black even during that time, but it is fun on occasion to have that dose of heavy cream or whipping cream (not to be confused with whipped cream). Whipped cream is also fun as a change of pace.
The one time I went there with you, I didn't like what I got. I guess I don't like the taste of coffee, but I didn't like what I got there.
Black coffee in the morning and a caffeine + theanine pill in the afternoon. I'll occasionally switch the pill for a 5 hour energy 🤷
Wow do you sleep OK at night?
Oh yeah. Afternoon caffeine is like 2pm anyway, so it wears off by bed
i find that while it certainly helps me "get going" in the morning, in the evening i can have an espresso after dinner and sleep just fine.
maybe the "morning get going" feeling is more in my head, but who knows ...
Some good old RSO with CBN helps with sleep, too 🙂
A cuppa in the morning. It varies in volume depending primarily on whether I'm working or not. I like to linger over a larger cuppa in the morning on the weekends.
Sometimes during late fall and well into winter I will have a pot of Lapsang Souchong sometime after lunch if I need a little kick.

the weekend morning cortado might have a splash of vermouth or something fun.
the late evening espresso has also been spotted having about 50% alcohol at times, usually some amaro.

Certain House Republicans are open to Jeffries as speaker if Democrats make the right offer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/13/bipartisan-speaker/
“House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) said it’s time for Jeffries and the Democrats to make an offer: “We’re willing to work with them, but they’ve got to tell us what they need.” Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) said “we’re open to anything that’s reasonable.” And a prominent moderate, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), added that “in the end, a bipartisan way may be the only answer, because we have eight to 10 people that do not want to [govern].”
3 is a start. Ultimately, though, it's going to take more than just 3 GOP members to tilt the count towards Jeffries or any Democrat.

Cal
On this day in 2017 in Memorial Stadium the Golden Bears defeated Washington State 37-3. The Cougars went into the game ranked eighth in the nation but under first year coach Justin Wilcox, Cal would force seven turnovers and sack Wazzu QB Luke Falk nine times. Cameron Bynum had two interceptions for the Bears whose victory raised their record to 4-3. The offensive hero was quarterback Ross Bowers who connected on 21 passes in 38 attempts for 259 yards and a TD. He also had a spectacular seven-yard touchdown run/flip. Vic Enwere ran for 102 yards. It seemed Cal’s future was bright under Wilcox…..

One of the best Cal games of the 21st century. I was hoping that would be a preview of what to expect under the Wilcox regime. I'm still waiting...
Certainly one of the five best of the post Tedford era.
9 sacks!!? That's more than what we can do in an entire season now.
Wasn't this also the Smoke Bowl?
It was
The Bowers game! What ever happened to him? Assume he transferred and is now trading derivatives or something?
From googling looks like he transferred to NIU then quit football and got his MBA
I'll always remember him for the flip against WSU and the horrendous interception that killed us in that year's Big Game.

So there are 52 California games in 7 years for the Atlantic teams, 26 each at Cal and Stanford. We need 28 home games, and Stanford provides the other 2, so it might be that we don't see SMU any more than any other team.
