From Final Fantasy to Star Trek Online

Good morning everyone,

Last night's stream featured both Final Fantasy XIV and Star Trek Online, however the stream was broken up into two parts because Xfinity was causing some issues. I had problems with them in the afternoon when I was working, lost a couple of completions. I Called Xfinity again, got hung up on, as I was asking for specific information,. So you can imagine how pissed off I was a 1 AM in the morning

Anyway, for the Final Fantasy XIV portion we did the usual bit of the run of the Aglaia alliance raid, plus a trial (which turned out to be against The Mother Crystal), we did some Fishing and some heavy leveling on the Botanist side job. I decided not to do anything with Lancer because of how we were banged the entire back end of the Heavansward Botany quests and started the Stormblood ones as well. With luck we might knock those out all in one go next week.

So I made t he call to do some Star Trek Online, and as per usual with STO, when it came to running Task Force Operations, the fixed time component made some drag super long while at the same time others were done within three minutes or less. Spent some time adding a new uniform for my Captain and showing off some dance emotes at Club 47 as well.

For the raid we dropped in on BaronVizkopa who was also playing Star Trek Online over at twitch.tv/BaronVizkopa!   

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Double Combo #2, Triple Combo #1 and Weaving Combo #1 for 31 minutes. As a reminder, after hitting Sophie's Contender yesterday, we're back to using Bernardo as the trainer in pursuit of the Bernardo's Champion EX achievement.

While the Senate passed its first gun violence related bill since the mid-1990s, the Supreme Court of the United States made things more complicated by ruling against New York stats gun carried laws, which in turn could cause problems in New Jersey where I live. It comes as no shock to me that the Supreme Court only 25% of Americans have any real confidence in it.

Going back to talking about work, in the state of Maryland, there is a lot of debate regarding regulation of waste disposal when it comes to the numerous chicken raising facilities throughout the state that are contracted to the likes of Perdue and Tyson Foods. Some folks are really for doing what it takes to protect their communities, but these major companies are quite against anything that affects their bottom line. 

How does a penguin build its house? Igloos it together.

Overwatch 2 and other notes

We were joined by PandaSweet for many matches in Overwatch this evening, and I branched out a little playing as a wider variety of character...
