What's pleasing me today

Cat 2 for the league, cup game TBC.

If Burnley are category 2, I assume there are only 2 categories.

Forgot they were on sale to Pro members today. Just logged in. Already very few left.

Pro members have had since Tuesday, it's gone on sale to Pleb members this morning.

Bloody hell. Dropped a bollock with this one. Ended up buying 3 tickets, in shit seats, sitting individually.

Got a notification that my internet service, which is very good (500MBps FTTH, unlimited data) but very expensive ($135 per month) was going up another $5, so I looked at some comparables and called my provider's loyalty department to see what they wanted to do about it. Now I have 1GB service for $90 per month.

I have yet to discover an open source, free to all internet service to the home, but if you are aware of such a thing I am interested in hearing more.

Also, I dropped the sports channels from my cable package - I already have streaming services for football (both kinds), and I don't care about baseball, tennis, poker or any of the other things they filled the channels with. That saved me another $32 a month. Just have to figure out how to watch hockey now.

To be fair moving to the correct side of the Atlantic ocean was a significant step toward achieving that one.

This is nothing we haven't already seen multiple times, but still an ace way to spend 6 minutes.

Love that.

In a similar vein, I finally have 1Gb in Vermont for $95 USD, only took almost 3 years after I purchased the house but already made a huge difference, previously we had been managing on 2mb at best.

Also pleasing me in the absolute opposite sense has been spending the past 5 days in Locorotondo in southern Italy, staying at a very small place with old friends, where there is almost no cell signal and no WiFi. It’s been bliss to disconnect and not even think about working.

Go to the games?

I will go to a few, but there are 41 home games a season, it's an hour and a half drive each way in Canadian winter weather, and I already have a season ticket for my NFL team.

As I'm sure you are aware it was an entirely facetious comment but I've learnt about the hockey season and your proximity to the ground which I find interesting, so thank you.
