@Jolly said in More on Mayfield: you have to think you're the best or you can't play QB in the NFL. Yes, I can see that. The job brings an insane amount of responsibility. Duty, accountability, representation . . . you must be an effective leader, must be seen as reliable. Last but so much not least, you must be fit and strong enough to do the job with skill and power that is unique in the team. You must be able to get sacked three times in the same game by a freightload of the enemy, and climb to your feet and throw it again and keep throwing it until it's done. You have to walk totally tall. How can you begin to do all that and be all that if you don't believe in yourself? Here's what Tristan Wirfs, one of Brady's protectors (offensive tackle) said about Brady. When asked how he would describe Brady to his kids in the future, he said, “Just gonna tell ‘em he was an old dog. I’ve loved every second of it. He’s a very special person, really special player…Yeah, he surprises me. His old ass threw what, like a 60-yard bomb? He’s awesome. I love him to death.”

@George-K ….sounds unconditional to me. Apparently it is constitutional: https://www.france24.com/en/video/20230317-the-49-3-how-did-france-s-government-impose-its-pension-reform

No wood burner?

Unstructured play is important for AI development because it allows for exploration, creativity, and the acquisition of new skills through trial and error. Just as children learn through unstructured play, AI systems can also benefit from the freedom to experiment and learn from their environment. By engaging in unstructured play, AI systems can discover new strategies and approaches to solve problems, adapt to new situations, and develop more sophisticated decision-making abilities. Additionally, unstructured play can help AI systems develop a more nuanced understanding of language and social interactions, which is critical for the development of natural language processing and social intelligence. Ultimately, incorporating unstructured play into AI development can lead to more flexible, adaptive, and capable systems.

Silly boy! Of course not.

True equality.

@bachophile said in In Israel: ps yes posting less but I’m still around. Believe it or not I’ve just been too busy to get involved in forum threads. I have a few commitments on my plate right now which are very time demanding. My idle time is taken by-swiping twitter feeds for amusing content because it’s less demanding than interacting with u smart folks. Hope the commitments are good ones. Sometimes you need distraction more than engagement. Take care.

Nope, the premise of the article is inflation under Biden. He's been in office a couple of years, hence the two year number.

But if anyone really deserves reparations in San Francisco, it’s the Chinese…https://www.sfexaminer.com/our_sections/forum/are-chinese-american-reparations-in-san-francisco-next/article_9b316c82-a8de-11ed-82de-7fd770bf880b.html

Very cool!!

Shame, Xe’s a real looker…

Late to the party, but Happy Birthday also!!

I was in Indonesia and the town I was in installed the first escalator in a store. People were lining up to ride it.

As happened in the 2020 election, the best campaigner the Democrats have is President Trump.
