    Slow Server Response

    It was definitely slow when I was working on my article but the backend of Wordpress is always slow so I didn't think anything of it - but yeah... does seem slower - could be the amount of traffic on the site - php/mysql can be a drag on resources if a ton of people are hitting it.

    Tyson vs Paul

    Yeah, as long as Tyson can put the scews to Paul early, he can win. If the match goes on, no amount of training is going to outlast the youth and energy that Paul has. But Tyson has pure quick knockout power, always has. I wouldn't want to get hit by him.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    A new one runs 500-700 depending. I just got mine back from repair after sea water got in it. I love it because I have any strap color under the rainbow to throw on it. But I also love my moon watch..

    Offensively High Resale Prices On Unicorn Blends

    I don't think the high prices driven by the overseas market are going to last.

    Must be Because of Pipes!

    I suspect the commentary on staying at home is because a bunch of kids got used to the COVID thing and haven't experienced real social interactions. Its a sad commentary of the future of our society.
