Final from Boston. 🙁

Jaylen Brown banks in a three-point prayer to force overtime. Free basketball.
#Celtics ☘

It's fitting that the #Celtics won their coaches' challenge. The refs have had an uneven night.

For better or worse, I'm giving Mastodon the full Dave Mason experience. It's not just SQL/Data stuff.

Halftime in Boston.
Hope you're enjoying all the whistles.

Ugh. My laptop hinges need to be replaced. It's looking more and more like I'll have to ship it to the seller/manufacture for repair. A local shop can't acquire the necessary parts. ☹

When someone tells you their data is clean, how hard do you laugh at them?

Reacquainting myself with "lapply" for #rstats.

Some functions/methods just don't come naturally to me. This is one of them.

I'm thinking my next #photography purchase should be a low-end/mid-level monopod.

Final from Boston.
Solid W for the #Celtics

@Reincarnation_2 I generally agree with all of this.

As I can imagine you are aware of, there are others who seemingly feel they get to decide for others what is an is not appropriate for CW.

This is gatekeeping...and I'm not going to argue with them.

End of the 3rd. The #Celtics stretched their lead.

@Reincarnation_2

Oh, sure I understand *how* the feature works.

But who gets to decide when to use it? You, the poster?
Or me, the viewer?

Answers vary.

I'm starting to wonder if the CW (Content Warning) feature is worth it. No one can decide on how to use it.

Halftime in Boston.
#Celtics are cruising. ☘

No Jayson Tatum, but the #Celtics jump out to the lead after one quarter.

Anyone know what happened to the site TheReboot.com?

It directs to something else now.

Here's an article that was on the site before it 'went away'.

So Cleveland scores, it's a tie game, and the #Bucs get possession following the kickoff.

After a short pass on 1st down, the clock continues to run and Tampa doesn't use any of their *three* remaining timeouts. I do not understand.

Down by seven, it's 4th down near the goal line for Cleveland, clock running, about a minute left in regulation.

Why doesn't Tampa take a timeout there?

If Cleveland doesn't score, the #Bucs take over on downs...it's a 'wasted' timeout, but who cares?

If Cleveland *does* score, Tampa saves about 30 seconds to work with to try to get into field goal position.

There are no gods.
It's just us, folks.
