  • In case you didn’t know this is Dodgers Stadium in LA and opened 1962 so land was much cheaper then. Also all the land this stadium sits on was seized via eminent domain for a federally funded housing project but because of socialism the city bought the land from the federal government for pennies on the dollar then the Dodgers bought the land and built the stadium there.

    Another fun fact about this stadium is it’s built over a couple ravines. They leveled the top of the surrounding hills and used that dirt to fill in the ravines. The parking lot northwest of third base has a buried elementary school under it.

    I have Phillips wiz bulbs in my house and I can do most of the stuff in the app from Google home. The only thing I can do is set scenes but I rarely use those.

    The only real downside is these use some Phillips API so of course to work they call back to their servers so that stop being smart without an Internet connection. Some day I’ll move my light bulbs out of the cloud but that day is not today.











  • Portugal being Indiana would annoy me if I was Portuguese. Like sure Ohio has problems but the only reason no one makes fun of Indiana is because of how boring of a state it is. The only things that state is know for is the Indy 500 and producing the most vice presidents that never became presidents. The highest point in Indiana is marked by a rock in a grove of trees next to a corn field. Imagine how boring of a person Mike Pence is and then realize he is the embodiment of the entire state.
