A few more games like yesterday and I'm going to the movies on Sundays instead of watching the NFL.

There's a difference between aggressive and stupid. I don't think LaFleur knows the difference.

I think my main point is that we shouldn't straight out dismiss it with "you can't do it" when it's a little more complicated than that. Infeasible I think is the more accurate statement. I know engineers like to spec brand new materials due to liability and other reasons but I've been hearing a lot lately about reusing foundation elements. There's a lot of testing that's supposed to happen before you do so. OTOH, in situ testing has advanced by leaps and bounds. It may be that the foundation element of wind generation is overstated and the lifetime with reuse is much longer than currently thought. My understanding is that they reused foundation elements last time they reworked 794, for example.

I know this is older, but we should define recycled in the case of concrete. As a civil engineer I'd just like to state that we recycle concrete all the time. It's one of the simplest things to recycle. You pull it out and run it through a crusher. Remove any metal reinforcement and voila you have fresh stone aggregate for reuse. It's pretty standard practice on demo or roadway projects.

I haven't seen as many films as I'd have liked so far this summer. But if I had to pick the film I liked best, I'd probably say The Sheep Detectives. Yeah, I didn't see that coming either.

I watched Shoah this year, so why are we talking about short movies? 😆

I know nothing about prospects. But this sure seems consistent of what this draft regime has previously done.

I bought an electric about 2 years ago, but I'm very intrigued about how the robots work. Looking forward to updates.

That's fair. I just think that the answer for a playoff game right now has to be Peralta until Woodruff proves he's healthy. I hope he does prove it, but the answer in May given everything we know is that Woodruff isn't fully healthy and can't be counted on for a playoff game. But ask again at the trade deadline.

That's fair. I just think downplaying probably 180+ innings pitched ignores a large part of Peralta 's value. Yeah he's not really a Cy Young contender, Misiriowski is, but he's likely to finish no worse than #3 compared to the Brewers starters in terms of WAR.

Peralta has roughly double the innings pitched of Woodruff this year. And that gap is going to grow. Rate stats are important but IP are also important. Peralta is clearly more valuable in 2026. At least during the regular season. Sure, any given start Woodruff is likely to be as valuable or more. But when is he available?

My review of Ueck. 2026 Milwaukee Film Festival – Opening Night – “Ueck” – Where the Long Tail Ends

Well, you can put F1 in 10th in my rankings. Entertaining enough but there are at least a half dozen big studio films that are just as entertaining and have legitimate artistic vision. There seems to be some intrigue about the winners this year. The two BP front-runners are from the same studio and that perhaps has cut down on the ugly campaigning along with the preferential ballot. But actor seems up for grabs along with Best Picture. As long as the don't blow the In Memoriam, should be a good show.
