Oh my god i spent so long looking for the thing in my house that was beeping intermittently yesterday, I thought there was a smoke alarm with low battery or something. And it's this freaking Tom Brady commercial youtu.be/KffXrGVAU0w

My opinion will absolutely change on this eventually, but I think i prefer the Bengals defense getting all these flags instead of the usual leaving people wide open

Mastodon icon

What is this? Bengals have a run game?

I was out on my run this afternoon and I was waiting at a crosswalk. I looked across a 4 lane road and a guy in a big white van was wearing one of those Jason hockey masks and was staring directly at me.

Chiefs accidentally broke the cameraman for a second there

Mastodon icon

It was hilarious that the commentators said giving the chiefs the field goal at the end of the half was enough to get them the win. It's also hilarious that it'll end up being true

Tom bookmarked XY Problem - Wikipedia.

"The XY problem is a communication problem encountered in help desk, technical support, software engineering, or customer service situations where the question is about an end user's attempted solution (X) rather than the root problem itself (Y or Why?).

The XY problem obscures the real issues and may even introduce secondary problems that lead to miscommunication, resource mismanagement, and sub-par solutions. The solution for the support personnel is to ask probing questions as to why the information is needed in order to identify the root problem Y and redirect the end user away from an unproductive path of inquiry."
