Glad it's not just here in Florida. The forecast has been all over the place. This is in the panhandle, and not the main part of Florida known for random downpours. Not just this year though. My wife actually mocks me anytime I say it's forecast to rain on any particular day. Heck, I'll track...

Yeah, I can't buy that the government who spent decades studying mind control with LSD and hypnosis finds evidence of some unexplained phenomenon and buries it instead of spending massive resources investigating it in secret.

I've only sold one house before, and that's what we did. I regret it because we spent a ton of money to do so (we replaced the roof, carpet, repainted, landscaping...basically fixed all the shit I should've fixed for us while we lived there). At the same time, we only had one offer with it on...

It's fine so far. I'll caveat this with saying I haven't watched the most recent episode yet. But it's kind of running into the same problem all of them do, an interesting first season that mostly gets resolved...where do you go from there? It seems to just kind of sputter around where 7...

The amount of times on home buying shows where they walk into a house and like everything about it, but say the wall color is bad and walk away, is enormous.

Seems like they don't know what they want this game to be me. I mean, if we're trying to make people more active, why not make it an action MMO? And if it's that, fuck it, let's update the graphics so they're not so retarded too! They put retarded limits on themselves by basically copy pasting...

I know you're a smart guy. You're still missing the point.

He's not right, he's just cherry picking a single part of a post to address and claiming he's right to the overall concept. Ironic, since the point he's making is you can understand the concept being discussed but not the actual piece, and come to the correct conclusion...basically the opposite...

Damn dude, how is your health? A few years ago my wife was telling me about a girl she knows who had a new construction house where there was some kind of leak in the ducting and it basically ended up spewing mold all through the HVAC system for a while before they figured out what it was. But...

A damning indictment for sure, but...is anyone actually surprised by it? Also, not reading it and not having even heard of it are two different things. The second just speaks to being ignorant of everything.

Well shit, I'm in.

Just watched it with the wife, who listened to the audio book a few months ago. She really wanted me to listen to it, but I wasn't all that interested. I really enjoyed the movie. Sounds like she did too, but she actually said she was disappointed because they left off a lot of the science...

You kind of touched on it towards the end of this post, but it's one of the dangers this type of game can run into where the grind is punishing enough that the power fantasy doesn't really materialize in the higher levels. Where sure, you've got better gear and more stats, but your ability to...

Could just be a psychological method for a director to get the best performance possible from his best actors? Praise someone who doesn't make sense, and they'll fight to try to also win that praise.

I'd be more worried about AI displacement of the workforce on the market, than I would that companies are overvalued. The market is up maybe 30% in the last year or so, and if you attributed that all to AI (which you shouldn't), and it all got wiped out, that's...just a bear market (20%...
