There were at least 20k people out to honor him as he paid the ultimate sacrifice in service of his country. I look at his picture and see my son or any of the young troops I led and it hits extremely close to home. I don't think I've had this much show of emotion when my old man passed. Such a sombering event today. When you lay your head down tonight remember the ones we lost over the last 20 years.

Navy Corpsman Maxton Soviak that died in Afghanistan recently went to my high school. The amount of people that were on the side of the roads and on bridges, all the way from Cleveland into Berlin Heights, when they brought him home was unreal. Such a small community and everyone came together. I got choked up watching the videos, and he graduated 15 years after me. Also the first time I've ever seen a military flyover before a high school football game to honor him. Powerful stuff, especially when it hits close to home.

I use it mostly for my business. I belong to 3 groups for fleet washing and 1 meme group. Other than that, I don't really post.

I don't use Twitter/Instagram/or any other social media

Probably the most widely used social media for entrepreneurs...

Don't think I've ever seen this clip... this is just performance art at its finest.

I'd get on it if my target clients were big social media types.

Almost finished watching the Sopranos

My wife just finished a first time through watching it. I watched several with her, especially in the last season. So good.

I'm so far down the rabbit hole of weird YouTube. I spend most of my viewing time now watching eBay re-sellers buying things at garage sales, comic book collectors finding interesting books at garage sales/flea markets, and videos of a guy that clears storm drains during floods.

Ive watched a lot of this too. I see a 7 min video, think Ill just watch 30 sec and move on....then watch the entire thing. Hypnotizing.

I watched like 3 hours of a dude building a log cabin once- not a single word was spoken it was great

I’ve watched yard sales. My go to is watching people do lottery scratch off tickets, slot machines and table games. Newest one is sleep vids. Last couple of nights I’ve slept to bacon cooking, box fans, and window AC units.

I’ve become obsessed with reading books on soccer analytics. wish* I was watching yard sales

I've been playing a lot of FIFA lately. I certainly don't want to read any books lol, but I've been wondering what the advanced metrics are with certain aspects of soccer. Just not quite interested enough to spend time trying to figure it out.

xGoals is basically soccer WAR but its a lot less refined- probably just due to the nature of soccer vs baseball.

Xgoals would be more Pythagorean than WAR

in soccer was always wondering why players were wearing like sports bras underneath there shirts. finally figured it out, its to hold the little unit to track how much they run and where they are on the pitch that is usually on the back between shoulder blades.

also wondered why they water the pitch at halftime, looked it up and its to make the field slicker so the ball will move faster.

in regards to youtube, ive been on multiple benders from ear wax removing, dethatching lawns, lawn care, beastie boys live concerts and the list is long and wide. follow alot of blogs on places i plan to visit. great for food places.

also cooking videos are great. learned to make a great prime rib and won't eat one at a restaurant anymore as i have perfected it during this pandemic.

I'm sitting in Dickies Arena, minutes away from the start of the highly anticipated Dude Perfect Live Tour!!!

They tour?! Do you get to just sit through a bunch of attempts of trick shots?

The tall dude lives on the street behind me.

Cool guy

They still do trick shot videos, but they do a bunch more crap nowadays like skits and shit.

I just played poker at a neighborhood party for 7 hours.

I won $8.

I’d consider that a good night.
