    That's been well understood by many for a while now. The ICE protests are mostly higher status whites screaming at lower status minorities, trying to do their job.

    Mark makes a very valid point about how AI doesn't do everything for you. GIGO. You have to know something about the subject matter and the technology involved, what questions to ask, parameters to provide to get a decent product.

    @89th said in Cincinnati chili has snowflakes too.: Also, that dude in the video is probably someone who would start talking about the merits of the tour de france while I'm trying to watch a ballgame. You say that like it's a bad thing.

    Just found out that the backup “guest teacher astronaut” to McCauliff and watched from the ground as her colleague ended up perishing in the Challenger, later was selected to be an astronaut on Columbia for a 2004 launch and in 2003 was in the chase jet meant to rendezvous with Colombia as it landed, of course it never landed. That is wild. Eventually, she went up in the Endeavor shuttle… i’d have to imagine her crew mates were not believers in bad luck.

    I suppose if you drop a swamp monster big enough into a swamp, the swamp would indeed drain due to standard water displacement science.

    Except he predicted a crash in 07-09 and then lost money when it happened. It doesn’t pay to have really precise theories about just how things will go wrong. Or at least to bet on them.

    @jodi said in Trauma at Big Bear Lake: One of the things they are saying is that the birds may have known the eggs were unviable, and that’s why they left them alone. Not sure is that is accurate, but it’s possible. She's back on the remaining egg now, but who knows?

    @Mik said in In other news…: I have no issue with someone who wants to do this and has been psychologically vetted. I do have a problem with it becoming a cottage industry with no vetting, just the whims of maladjusted youth milked for profit. If this stops it so much the better. That’s where I used to be, but not as much, anymore.

    I’m hoping they overreach and try to take over some of the properties that are off the market due to their idiotic policies. Then maybe scotus can find rent control itself to be a taking under the fifth amendment.

    Large projects are a lot easier when you have slave labor. Still, it's good to see the Saudis planning for economic viability post-petroleum. Unless there's a huge expansion in the need for sand it's their only natural resource.

    I blame the lesbians. God fucking hates ‘em. You’d think he’d have more important stuff to think about, but no. It’s lesbians all day long. That’s why he watches all those movies presumably.

    @kluurs said in Hey guys - something to add to your workout: I possess and am the subject of some of the worst looking running photos of ALL time. I have friends who look great. One woman friend had a picture of her taken in the late stages of a marathon with her smiling and looking like she should be on the cover of Vogue. I look like a before picture to be included in Morticians Monthly Magazine. I have seen these pictures, you have a talent at getting the photographer to hit the shutter button as you hit the pavement and your face makes the most gravitational pose EVAH. Still, you're running, so you're 10/10 awesome in my book.

    She'll probably win. The left doesn't like her as much as you'd think since she's a bit wishy-washy-Washington. I do remember seeing her on a flight once, and she didn't seem that wishy washy. Anyway... as long as the pillow cocaine con man doesn't get close to that office, I'm fine.
