Google's AI is using this post to feed their AI, it appears.

Somebody I know does and says awful and vile things when he drinks a lot. I told friends last year I don't want to be around him if he's around and drinking... so they just stopped inviting me to stuff instead of addressing his toxic alcoholism.

Same applies to engineers who never got below an A in a math class.

Coaching and playing are two completely different deals. Signed, a great engineer who admits to flailing when being asked to lead engineers.

Not sure what the bullpen depth need will going forward, but Vanasco and Guenther have been activated from the IL by Toledo this week.

May 26... Not sure where they got the 22nd, but opening day was March 27 and you can't backdate 60-day IL placements.

What's crazy about the last few months... Some people thought I was exaggerating how bad this was going to be in November. I underestimated to a huge degree the amount of harm that would be done.

Brewers going with the McCosky All Stars tonight on the mound... Is Rony Garcia next?

Good thing he didn't get the job when Harris did, eh? Or the GM job when Greenberg was brought it.

I have a friend who is overweight. She knows it. I am pretty open about my prediabetes (recently upgraded to mild type 2) and was at her house for a cookout a couple years ago, but because it was burgers and Mac and cheese I said I would come out but eat at home. She said something about how she was trying to lose weight and was using organic ground beef for the burgers thinking that would help. Somebody else has pushed gluten free food on me (gluten free actually is usually bad for diabetics because whole wheat is replaced by simple carbohydrates). I just don't think people have a fundamental understanding of nutrition and buy into the buzzwords out there. Anyways, I like to cook and like to exercise, so there are worse afflictions to have...

Diet culture is also pretty much a scam. If you want to lose weight and not be obese, eat less. period. But eating less is bad for business, so they throw labels like organic on things or concoct these crazy diets that don't work when the simple answer is to eat at a calorie deficit.

Was Trump at Mara Lago this weekend? In Jacksonville Beach around 11am or so, I thought I saw a plane getting a military escort going north way up in the sky.

Starting to think this team could run away with the division.

One more rumination on the Menzin thing. I stand by some of my suspicions before we got the reason that he was somewhat being cast aside. Sartori's current role seems very similar to the one he held for a while; had been cast aside to special projects. I have long suspected that people who start engaging in inappropriate workplace behavior also have their judgment clouded in other areas and performance declines. I bet some of that was going on before this bubbled up to the surface.

Somebody once asked me why I don't gamble. "You know sports stats." I said "that's why I don't gamble with sports books."

And degenerates who don't have the math skills to come close to breaking even gambling.

I suspect Manning was just piggybacking because he was rained out Wednesday and they wanted to keep him and Montero on schedule.

I wrote it as a statement then added a question because I was confused if I was addressing the right thing. Baddoo is off the 40, so adding him would mean you need to make a 40 man move. That is why Hicklen got the call over Jones or Gamel.

Baddoo has already been waived. ?

I have a colleague who seems to think we can use AI to do everything to make our jobs easier. I can't get into specifics, but I'm 100% out on it. Don't get me wrong. I love writing code to make our jobs easier, but the code needs to be fully vetted and well-planned out, not at the whims of an algorithm.

Good job... looks like you missed a couple Cubs though: Carson Kelly (Cubs) Matthew Boyd (Cubs)

If it can stay down for another day or two so my next paycheck's 401k contribution results in discounted shares, that'd be great...

Was surprised to see Kagan among the 7.

My tax loss harvesting was perfectly timed, then...

You are probably right. I should frame it that the workplace culture may make creeps more likely to strike, but can't really think of a great way to phrase it.
