The psychiatrist's report was given to the court long time ago.

And this will be test #3, one in July, one last month cause boy #1 got exposed, (he was negative).

That's good.

The COVID test merry-go-round is far from the fun the name would imply, but fingers crossed it will be reassuring.

For the last lab write up of the semester, I've realized that if I do nothing I pass the class with a 79. If I submit enough to get a 1/15, I pass with an 80.

God I've never been more tempted to do nothing.

Krikkit also managed to leave other marks besides the destruction of numerous worlds: due to racial memories, the Earth sport of cricket and the pan-dimensional sport of Brockian Ultra-Cricket were based on the Krikkit Wars. Slartibartfast enjoys the game of cricket, but he notes that most sensible citizens of the galaxy find the sport to be in rather bad taste. The Krikketers are described as humanoid aliens who are charming and polite, despite their cosmocidal tendencies. They are capable of composing incredibly moving and poetic music. Some of the younger Krikkiters are interested in developing sporting links with the rest of the Universe rather than destroying it.

The basic idea of cricket is that you hit sticks with a ball. Sounds simple enough, except that those who invented the sport failed at the "simple" part.

Don bradman was so good he hit golf balls in volleys with a cricket stump.
It's not their fault that we figured out how to make the ball swing!

Basically, there's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig runners, and a player at Whackbat. Center tagger lights a pine cone and chucks it over the basket and the whack-batter tries to hit the cedar stick off the cross rock. Then the twig runners dash back and forth until the pine cone burns out and the umpire calls hotbox. Finally, you count up however many score-downs it adds up to and divide that by nine.

I have to admit I have no idea how they get the scores, I mean you have just explained it, but my brain is like woosh...

it's rather simple in terms of rules and scoring.
Football, though, I still can't get over VAR.

VAR needs to be consistent across the board in order for it to work, I think VAR is a good thing, but man they need to improve it quickly
