    Yeah, I mean we aren’t playing a time or moves limit so I wasn’t sure. We stopped playing because of the Lakers game, but we just weren’t sure what that was really called. I mean I made about ten moves on him before we were like: “Eh, let’s just end it here.”

      I've had this happen in those old Windows chess games. Most times I do eventually win, but I think sometimes it ends in a draw (if those rules are correct) because I don't get them into check, but they eventually can't move anymore, somehow that happens.

          yeah, I realised that back when I first noticed Kirby Puckett was born in 1960 and Joe Mauer was born in 1983. also interesting to note, apparently the great majority of Twins don't even have the same parents. huh, go figure

            And poor Bert Blyleven, he was a twin, then for a while he wasn't, and then he was again, and then he wasn't, and now he is.

                And he retired from broadcasting during the season so he’s not again.

                  something occurred to me earlier today, in 20-25 years there will be people reminiscing about this period in time as their ''good old days''. I'm sure people did it about the 1930's also too as well.

                    Reminds me of a joke I saw online. Basically went like "Remember 2020? Those were the days. Masks, social distancing, lockdowns. Good times. Alright...back to reality." as they go outside to a wasteland in a hazmat suit.

                    But really, it's crazy to think that one day we'll be those old people on the couch that a future generation will have to talk to for a school project to find out "what was life like back then".

                      Last day of 2020 is finally here! A year we'll obviously never forget for the rest of our lives.

                      Funny looking at New Years Eve and seeing how much it used to mean to me. As a kid, this was obviously the only time I could ever stay up past midnight. Seemed like such a cool thing to do.

                      Nowadays it's like "big deal...new years eve is just another day I stay up past midnight, except more people do it on this specific night"

                      If anything, I probably get more tired on NYE and fall asleep "earlier" than I do on regular nights because NYE feels like I'm keeping myself up for something specific rather than just staying up.
