Every game. Every day. My eye just pops open at 3:25 AM lol

I mean if I could bunk exams in school days to watch it, what's waking up a little early 😁

Lol… same

To a point made by KPMG 1, I distinctly remember leaving my exam paper early in college and running out to see Sachin bat in a chase. The moment I was sure about getting 40, I was out. My mom was definitely unimpressed.

Test matches , sure. I’m glad the SA series got over it just wreaked havoc over my sleep timings. I just check cricbuzz for odi series. My only interest in the current series is hoping for kohli’s 71st.

Each and every time! Having said that, Test cricket excites me more than anything else. Love t20 as well. I guess ODI is probably the format These days which is getting a bit boring with some predictable phases of play in between. But, still love the game and it doesn’t matter if it starts at 3:30 or 4am, I wake up.

Me ✋

Only Test matches, all the time. No interest in T20 and just passing interest in ODI.

So glad to see that there are people like me. I'm the only one in my desi friend group that does this, as most people only follow the key tournaments/matches. Test cricket over the past few years has been awesome esp. with the Indian fast bowlers. Going strong since school days when I would wake up at 2:30 am to watch India in NZ. I don't really follow the IPL much btw.

Haha, still the least garbage of all other franchise leagues IMO.

First year associate thinking about making the just from medium sized reputable IP firm to In House. Started at said firm summer of 1L year as a law clerk/patent agent in May 2019, have worked through school and full time as associate since Sept 2021. Feeling very “stuck” in day to day work. Love the patent/IP space but drafting and pros w/minimal human interaction is getting very difficult. Thinking In House would be better, but not sure how much experience needed. Thoughts?

Hi, anyone ever try using a ovulation test as a positive result for pregnancy test? I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?
