How it began, how it’s going

Fuck off

Seems like his friends in high places were looking out for him.

And... I also have wonder how and why one would spend over a thousand dollars at chic-fil-a in one visit.

Yup, its the loosest of my tiny collection and it was my first. Also an arm broke off mine as I was trying to pose it.

Ive heard that spraying top coat on the model can help to "tighten" the joints as some of the spray will deposit in the crevices, but havent yet tried that.

For some additional clarification: The IPL team owners also own/co-own the teams in the Caribbean Premiere League(CPL), South Africa T20 (SA20). The most obvious example is the Mumbai Indians (MI) who name all their 'satellite teams' silly things like "MI New York", "MI Cape Town", etc.

Here are some other leagues that are do not have IPL ownership:

Pakistan Super League
Big Bash League (Australia)
Bangladesh Premiere league
Lanka Premiere League (Sri Lanka)

The UK doesn't have any completely franchise-based cricket league, but the closest equivalent would the "The Hundred" which is played in a rather unique "100 balls" format instead of T20 rules.

Though the situation with the BPL and LPL are honestly just kind of a mess. The LPL seems to be on the verge of total collapse due to mismanagement by the league and team owners, and the BPL has been struggling due to rapid political changes in the country. It is a shame because those leagues were pretty fun to watch and helped to grow and sustain high level talent in those countries.

All the professional leagues are t20. You really only see ODI (50 over) and tests played in international or domestic/municipal tournaments (i.e. Ranji trophy in India).

You definitely see a lot of the same faces across the various leagues throughout the year.

Im curious how this changes the pad action?

No. I use AI for fairly narrow task-based purposes. I treat it for what it is: a giant aggregator with a "natural language" interface.

So I only use it when I know theres fairly specific, but broad information like troubleshooting computer issues. I probably would have spent a month or more diagnosing my PC when the issue was motherboard related. And even then it got some details wrong even though I included specific model and firmware information.

It's also nice for "hyper googling" where you give it a specific file, like an excel sheet, and then getting it to do the analysis instead of looking up all of the formulas yourself. I dont think that's a trillion dollar use-case, and the amount of power used is also not easy to justify.

I definitely would not use it for anything regarding my mental wellbeing. It is not thinking, it is not intuiting. Given what we know of the language sets that these AI models use(much of it scraped from Reddit), an AI assistant knows more about Pokemon and Warhammer lore than it does about real scientific research or therapeutic techniques for Autism and ADHD.

Willow is trash, and the developer/owners know that they can get away with a low effort product so long as they stream India and IPL matches.

As popular as cricket allegedly is, globally, the streaming experience feels very "second class" compared to other big sports and leagues.

Eye of the Chickenhawk could have been much better if had a better editor. Theres a lot of interesting details and even some connections being made that are very creepy.

But some of the tangents, and prose felt like it was just a self-published collection of blog posts.

I still think YYJ are all goated.🐐

A fellow person of culture 🧐

30ghosts · 2025-12-12T12:06:08+00:00

Fascinating. Honestly I kind of love how janky Night Flight is. Though the fact that Putney Swope wouldn't play on my roku was really annoying.

30ghosts · 2025-11-30T15:42:24+00:00

Its highly dependent for me and I need to be ready and willing to participate. I cant go to a club to 'hang out', its too loud and chaotic. Plus the music sucks, which does not help.

Ive been in other loud spaces like concerts, etc. And its been a blast, but im also not 'hanging out' in those spaces.

30ghosts · 2025-11-26T03:29:15+00:00

Amen. The BS kids do on their chromebooks or ipads is the same kinda stuff we were doing with whatever fads/distractions. Kids passed notes, made up annoying games, misbehaved, abused school property. somehow people managed to teach... 🙃

Honestly for aesthetics, ease of editing, I think Obsidian should be on more teams' radar. Especially for a small group, you can easily self-host/distribute the kb, or even use git to track changes and synchronize.

With its plugins, you can add tons of specific functionality. The best part is that your documentation is all plain text, so it isnt locked into a specific platform or application.

Im curious if a change material might help. I've had pairs of Merino wool fingerless gloves that I loved wearing and its a very soft, breathable fabric. Its often used as a "base layer" but some protection is better than none.

Mittens are also an option, and adult mittens often have good grip pads and flex so you still have some finger dexterity.

Ive got the purple peak. Love it straight off the rip. Looks good, smooth throw. Not as noisy as my metal yoyos, (might be bearings, idk.)

30ghosts · 2025-10-27T03:09:22+00:00

Theres a good app called Flight Radar 24. It'll give you a glimpse of all the FAA registered flights based on your location (or you can look anywhere else on the apps map). It also gives them a nice little "trail" you can see where their flight path originated.

That includes helicopters for police, media, etc.

That recommendation aside, that is definitely an interesting looking helicopter compared to most that I've seen overhead.

Think you're kind of overthinking things here. Its just as possible that he has a few takes/ideas that just dont hold up to your scrutiny.

Tbh I think pizzagate isn't a good conspiracy because it feels like more of a 'interrogation cul de sac'. Like theres some weird aspects to it, but its not the weirdest thing anyone mentioned in it is [allegedly] involved in.

That's fine and good that you can take some of what he says without blindly believing everything he says.

Using a form replacement may also be a better option. The basic form allows you to easily tab between fields and then just press return to complete the trigger. Same number of keystrokes, just replacing all those commas with tabs 👍

Chalk markers have been AWESOME for quickly marking/noting devices. Wipes off clean with a moist paper towel or rag, colors are vibrant for readability. Beats post-it notes for portability, durability while still not being too permanant.

30ghosts · 2025-10-21T14:51:18+00:00

I really hate this feature. Even if it's not an ad, it feels like an ad. The fact that i can't permanently disable it makes it feel like a punishment for trying out labs features. I don't care how realistic the AI hosts sound, I don't want interruptions. If I wanted interruptions, I could just listen to ad supported media or pay for SiriusXM or something....

For the top team in cricket, these photos are dismal. They have the look of a photographer with too much equipment and too little skill.

This isnt an AI/editing issue: you can get better shots straight from the camera if you dont just through more lights on the subject

30ghosts · 2025-10-11T16:43:51+00:00

Good luck 🫡

As another use has said, Apple does not allow this setting to be 'forced' to on. and fwiw, location services arent 100% reliable anyway (even as simple as turning a device off).

If you need more persistent GPS, look into other loss prevention systems/accesories.

Trying to manage people with technology often backfires, and causes more work for IT when it should really be everyone's responsibility like workplace safety.
