I wonder what the track record is of people who openly campaign for the prize.

Cool. Another round of memes.

Wow is right.

Maybe like a stuffed tiger.

AI is getting quite good at music composition. There was a music history teacher who asked me, decades ago, why I chose another major field study other than music. I wonder what she would say today.

@jon-nyc I immediately thought of frog

Still listening to the Hoover bio (it’s 37 hours of audio). In 1964, Hoover spoke publicly about the crime rate in DC, saying he felt afraid to walk outside even in the daytime. Seems exaggerated.

@89th said in Glad the free speech folks are in charge: Wait, did he really say it's to stop inciting riots? Like, he's against that now? Are you seriously trying to get me to break the eye rolling world record?

Lol

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Dark or Inappropriate Humor Thread: You two are going to hell. And I don't mean new age pussy-man hell where they have focus groups and shit. You're going to King James Edition hell. Save us a seat.

@Doctor-Phibes said in TNCR Life Hacks: Over the Christmas holiday after you've had a few drinks during dinner, pull out the book and list all these irritations, possibly in order of importance, and make suggestions for the coming year how things could be improved. 0:37... and 1:19...

@89th said in AI and retirement savings needs: I didn't understand the conclusion either. Can robots make me rich or not? AlphaAgents aligns with established portfolio construction frameworks and discretionary investment workflows. While currently focused on stock selection, it can serve as a modular input to models like Mean-Variance Optimization or Black-Litterman, by supplying agent-driven signals for return estimation and scenario analysis. It might be simpler to rob a bank.

That’s only half the story. The people who were willing to defend him were no longer able to. That’s obviously why they left.

Can we just appreciate the scale of the hypocrisy for a moment? Even assuming the allegations against cook are correct, just this week the judgement against trumps business in NY was thrown out for his mortgage fraud since the bank got paid back and this had never been a top line charge before in NY. Her bank got paid back and this has never been a top line charge from DoJ. Ever. Also, back to the other major lawfare-related hypocrisy of the week, a dozen people in the administration have committed the same violation in this case for which Trump fired Comey in 2017.

@LuFins-Dad said in Store Renovation: I really wish they wouldn’t ruin my beautiful piano showroom by sending so many pianos… Yeah, it sucks when they don't send their best pianos. Consider securing the showroom perimeter and deport some pianos.

That doesn’t eliminate Hamas. It eliminates members of Hamas (or non-members) who happen to be armed at the moment.

Maybe. Getting kind of old for an edge rusher.

Yeah the big issue is people don’t want the overall density in their neighborhood to increase. Parking, traffic congestion, school crowding, etc are all (often) legitimate concerns. But at some point something’s got to give. Unless we perfect teleportation or the population decreases.
