    That would be funny if McDaniel came back to the 49ers just like Saleh did.

    Frankenstein

    Why do we need this post? I heard an interview with del Toro about this and he said it's based on the book directly and not any of the other adaptations since. I want to watch it but my big screen TV is taken apart for a remodel that I'm theoretically going to finish some day and I want to...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    That would be an awesome shop stool. Probably designed for Japanese people and has a 150 lb weight limit though.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Reminds me of the most recent black mirror season episode where the woman gets a brain implant and then starts just randomly pausing to do an ad.

    My dad is probably dying, i am both worried sick and mad

    When my grandfather was in hospice and pretty much unconscious at one point he blurted out "What in the fuck am I gonna do about this?". Probably more interesting than most people's last words but we never found out what he was worried about.

    The Astronomy Thread

    My only thought when I hear something about quantum physics is that they could tell me absolutely anything because I have no way of detecting bullshit when everything about quantum physics sounds like bullshit.

    Did anyone see Halley's comet in 1986? I was 9 years old and I remember my dad going out early in the morning to try to see it through his rifle scope but I don't think he ever did. You couldn't get as much good advice about when and where to look as you can now. I'll be 84 next time it comes...

    My dad is probably dying, i am both worried sick and mad

    I had a neighbor that did dialysis for a long time. On top of everything else he was driving 200 miles each way to get to the clinic twice a week. He came to a point where he just said "I'm not doing this anymore" and he was gone a few weeks later. It must be crazy knowing that you are going...

    On becoming an electrician

    Yeah, even if you think knob and tube was an awesome idea, if you see it that means your wiring is 50+ years old and that alone is probably a pretty good reason to replace it.

    Weight Loss Thread

    BMI is useful as a statistic on a large group of people. It's not that useful for an individual because there's too many things it doesn't take into consideration. There are many much better ways to tell if you're in shape or not than the ratio of your height to your weight.

    Weight Loss Thread

    If all you want is for the number on the scale to go down, diet will certainly do that. If you want to be healthy though, you should definitely exercise.

    Car ?'s

    I don't have a new F-150 but I love the Ecoboost engine. I had the same feeling when I bought it, I wanted a v-8 but I found something that checked all my other boxes so I decided to try the Ecoboost and I wouldn't go back. I had to replace the timing chain which I understand is pretty common...

    I thought this year was going to depend on Christian McCaffrey staying healthy. Now he and elderly Trent Williams are the only stars left on the team. It's like Shanahan wished on a monkey's paw that he would stay healthy this year. I'd hate to know what percentage of SF's salary cap is going...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    They already had a path. All they had to do was hire a coder to work for them for a few days. AI makes it cheaper and easier, but the idea was the important part all along.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    This is dead on. He lucked out on stumbling across a million dollar idea, but he could have hired someone to code it for him for very little money or learned to code himself. AI just reduced the friction a bit.

    My dad is probably dying, i am both worried sick and mad

    My Dad died a month before his 56th birthday. That was almost 17 years ago now and I'm only 8 years away from living longer than he did. You definitely aren't guaranteed to have anyone until they're 90, including yourself. You have to think about the future but you should also consider what you...

    The Witcher

    No. You are required to be outraged that an intentionally corny video game based TV show has replaced the statuesque British guy in a blonde wig with a statuesque Australian guy in a blonde wig. You must hate the show and everything about it and make many posts about how outraged you are and...

    Yeah it just goes to show you that a lot of the shit we do is really nit-picky and most people aren't going to care as long as it's edible. Hell when I was in my 20's I used to put a rack of ribs on the grill and flip them every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes and I thought those were good...

    I won a "trip" to Las Vegas one time and it wound up just being 3 nights in a hotel in the middle of the week. Had to pay for my own airfare, my own food and entertainment, and I'm sure they were betting that I would drop more at the casino than my room (which probably would have been empty on...

    Alton interviewed her on his short-lived podcast and she admitted that she didn't do well in culinary school and has no knife skills. I think it was more about being on TV for her than it was about food but the show was not the worst thing out there and it had her on it and she usually had...

    Marie Calendar's frozen turkey pot pies are a life-long guilty pleasure of mine. Completely disagree that the crust doesn't add anything. Biscuits, puff pastry, etc. are fine as well but a well made pie crust is one of the greatest things you can eat. Very few people actually make them...

    Definitely wasn't expecting the corpse of the 49ers going to LA and beating the Rams. Tough game. Mac Jones and Kendrick Bourne were warriors. Also benefited from multiple fuckups by the Rams. 2 times the Rams needed a yard to win the game and couldn't come up with it. Not a pretty game by...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I heard her call in to the Adam Carolla show for some reason once. Maybe they didn't tell her it was a comedy show but based on that, I don't think her sense of humor is her strong suit.

    I still recommend the show that taught me how to cook, Good Eats. 16 seasons now streaming on HBO Max. The episodes are 20 minutes long and super basic, but they explain not only how to do it, but why it works scientifically. Its a bit silly, but easy to watch.

    The Niners are lucky as hell to be 3-0 with all their early injuries, all ugly wins. It could be huge down the line to have these 3 wins, 2 of which are in the division if they can get some guys back in a few games and get things rolling. I hope Bosa's knee isn't serious. Dee Winters is...

    Fun with AI - Did your character get famous enough for AI to know who you were?

    Yeah me too. I do ask it for information at times but mostly I just like trolling it to see what the response will be. Because of that, if anyone ever reads my AI chat history, it will probably be the end of any chance I have at elected office.
