With today’s matches it absolutely looks like India may have hard time even qualifying for semis, given the form the other three countries are in. Thanks India for making this World Cup suddenly interesting and especially this group!

My manager left for a week long getaway with his wife over weekend to…. some place near Puerto Vallarta. I have been trying to get hold of him since morning after all the news about escalating violence down there. I hope to hear from him soon.
Temps above freezing so the snow was all slushy and wet – however it was not too much so shoveling didn’t take much time. The wind however is ensuring that snow is just flying around. Still this is a better outcome than last storm (and normal may I say) – temps steadily warmer through week so this should not stick around long. Commiserations to our northern friends who got hammered. Even our friends up in Philly were hit with a foot of snow and not done yet.
🍿 Gladiator (2000) – ★★★★★
Watched it again with kid after like decade(s) so I had mostly forgotten a lot of story. What a sweeping epic and I forgot how fucking good Joaquin Phoenix. They simply don’t make movies like these anymore.
Well fuck snowfall has started, and as luck would have it we might be in that small band where we get 6+ inches snow. Just go fucking away winter. Climate change it seems – not seeing any of that shit here yet.
So let me get this straight – companies passed on the tariffs to American people, but now that they were deemed illegal, companies want refund on tariffs and the consumer who paid the tariffs gets what exactly? This country is just one shitty grift after another.
First real tough match of the tournament and India got tested really well. The path ahead is hard but glad they faced it now rather than later.
Also liking these ChatGPT Hindi ads. I did not know they were already entrenching into Indian languages already. AGI may after all happen eh?
Sundar Pichai doing commentary in this India South Africa match – who would have thought. I don’t know how he is as CEO, but he seems like a genuinely humble guy.
Also, taxes fucking done! See how productive I am without my wife around? And it’s only 3pm!
