Are there any POBO's or GM's in today's game that did not go to college? It's not 1965 anymore.

THose people are reached via TikTok and the Joe Rogan's of the world.

What’s funny is I thought “Carlos Delgado was on a ballot??? It never dawned on me he’d be considered”. Then I looked up his stats and he was actually better for a longer period of time than I remember. . Not saying what you said isn’t true though.

A17 was the only nighttime launch of a Saturn V. one minor correction on that thing from Bluesky, what do we call them? It wasn’t the last Apollo mission. It was the last Apollo lunar mission. There was the Apollo Soyouz Test Project mission with the soviets. And the Skylab flights are officially considered Apollo missions.

It does remember. Ask it what it knows about you. I did that because when I was making those Sora videos, it referenced my hometown which seemed odd. “Chad”, which is what we call ChatGPT, didn’t know it. But it does assume my interests are things I have asked it about.

Yep. That’s the trick. Normalize the military hanging out in the cities asking peoole for their papers. Normalize snatching people away. Normalize killing people in boats. All in the name of “immigration” and “drugs”.

Off topic but GR is an untapped resource for people in metro Detroit. Went last year to see Nate Bargatze and what a cool town. A lot of the bands I follow will play there instead of around here. It’s close enough to not require an overnight.

I think of them as tags. They are paired. An opening and closing. { and } are an item. If you see { then another { then what comes next is linked to the second one and the info within. Then you just go back a level to stay on subject for the previous {. Sort of like parenthesis in a math equation.

I’m trying to figure out what Juneteenth and MLK Day have in common. Can someone help me out?

Great contribution. Thanks for posting this.

My first job out of college was supporting a VB based product where the main developer was self taught. It was kind of a start up. He put every bell and whistle into this thing. There were 4 ways to do everything. That meant 4 ways to break and 3 wrong paths to go down to fix it.

This is making the rounds today.

The main system I am responsible for just migrated off of VB. It was 25 years old. We literally couldn’t find people to support it. Our developers were in diapers when this system launched.

Well going by Trumps track record he’s due for a pardon, no?

Was the CBJ game on Hulu? I tried quickly to find it during Lions breaks but didn't see it on the "Trending" list. Last year I had a heck of a time finding their games on Hulu, I solicited support from them on Twitter. Finally found it. It wasn't showing up on the main menu on screen. On my phone it would but not the app thru Xfinity's box. When I went to the app through the Samsung TV, it was there.

I was trying to recreate the Sopranos opening credits on Sora using me and Detroit as the setting. I started with ChatGPT and describe what i wanted to do. About 15 minutes of back and forth settled on landmarks and music (It even offered copyright free music or I could pay to license some). Finally at the end when I asked about using my own likeness they told me I had to be a subscriber. Didn't pull the trigger on that. But I have used it to make videos for dreams I had. ChatGPT will ultimately give you the prompt to put into Sora.

I stick with ChatGPT. No reason other than it's what I've always used. A hobby of mine at night is using the Sora app to make videos. Something pops in my head so I will make one. My wife thinks I'm crazy and she doesn't think its hilarious like I do.

One year when we're all making our Thanksgiving turkeys and asking AI for guidance it will find a way to make us either poison ourselves or introduce some mind altering element, like Pluribus.

Sean Davis is still around? he's a complete tool and hack. I wouldn't trust him in a snowstorm telling he it's snowing. Plus he looks like Subway Jared and I can't get that out of my head.

Family member decided, back in November, to have his third wedding next weekend. Yeah... because nobody's busy or stressed in December. And it's a big wedding. 300+ people. My wife has to buy her third bridesmaid dress for him. It's ugly. Ugly shoes. Now we get the notices for not only 1, but 2 rehearsal dinners, along with her instructions for hair/makeup. She's dropped $500 on this damn thing. Just complete lunacy.

nothing is going to happen. Nothing will ever happen to them for any of it.

but he's not a girl

HBO's west coast people wanted to buy Netflix for $2B in 2007/08 but were rebuffed by big bosses in NY, who were still spooked by the AOL portion of their past. They didn't trust tech and internet people for a long time after that.

I’ve never seen someone care so much about an attorney general or Secretary of State. And this goes back before running for Governor. You seem to have a special thing for these 3. They fart and you start a thread over it.
