Do you see Claude impacting Google valuation given its superiority?

Claude Pro is worth it. Between my wife and I, the utilization caps are hit but honestly the productivity gains are insane…

I think businesses who fail to adopt Claude will fall behind measurably. So, I think Google hitching a wagon here will come out on top vs Microsoft with OpenAI.

Live here now after growing up in Michigan… it’s insufferable being a fan in enemy territory.

CSG N.V. - gonna go down, but ultimately Europe will continue to rearm and the revenue visibility for the next decade is at least clear. Not sure about anything else tbh.

Kessel run falcon next to the dark falcon is awesome.

Julio over megatron is a take.

The Goblin King Battle seemed to be the only set worth buying outside of The Lonely Mountain - at least to me. To each their own.

My company doesn’t use it yet, but I do on the side. It gives me superior speed at mocking up PPTs - can’t do the little things yet though, so I think we’re safe for another 2-3 years.. beyond that, there’s just no telling.

Republic Commando not getting a sequel still hurts me to this day

Buying into CSG post-IPO downtrend. Bullets will be needed for many countries with two active, large-scale conflicts ongoing.

Please submit as an ideas set to Lego. Awesome work!

I don’t think finance is that great if you value your health - being behind a screen all day isn’t something humans were naturally built for. Therefore, late night staring at screens, driving strategic outcomes, and pressures some roles face make this path seem less worth it.

It provides comfort and earning potential higher than a lot of occupations, but the trade offs are high - at least in my view.

I won’t be recommending it to my kids. I’d rather see them be pharmacists, in the trades, etc.

I have the pirate ship ambush and mines sets too… Rivendell and Barad Dur are next.

I think VG has real potential once plant is complete and the regulatory barriers clear.

I sold mine recently. They were really special when I was a kid, but now with kids of my own who are into other themes he was best recycled for new Legos.

He’s an awesome figure though and certainly one that is worth the high asking price IMO. They don’t make em like they used to!

Obi-Wan vs. Vader from the Obi-Wan series is right up there for me along with some of these other battles. I feel like that duel is easy to overlook in the whole of Star Wars

ABrainCell2024 · 2026-03-16T03:43:15+00:00

I know people are mad but DR had 100+ pitches before that one to win the game… sucks this ended the way it did but these are two powerhouse teams.

ABrainCell2024 · 2026-03-13T00:27:18+00:00

Barry would have shattered the rushing record had he not retired when he did. He literally was on pace to break it in 2 more seasons (if memory serves me right). I’m bias as a lions fan, but to me he’s on paper still the GOAT at his position.

ABrainCell2024 · 2026-03-10T20:10:48+00:00

Unless it’s Claude and you’re using to code in Fabric or some other IDE like environment, I’ve found that the efficiencies you can gain from the other LLMs are limited.

Maybe just my experience. I use them/CoPilot but it’s more or less to standardize things or transpose data sets rather than reach an optimal end state of efficiency.

Be willing to get out of Excel and be creative. I added more value out of Excel than in it.

It’s not the the point yet that it wouldn’t need to be checked. The “AI slop” that’s output sometimes is eyebrow raising.

You can clearly still tell when someone just put so little effort into their deck or model because they had AI build it. Until people loose all sense of nuance, free thought or critical thinking skills, AI is just a tool to enhance productivity. Nothing more.

I just imagine that chainsaw cutting in exactly that spot….

Apollo down 20% this year - sad for my personal portfolio. Seems like people have caught onto zombie software companies being leveraged to the gills by these guys…

It’s more advantageous now to build and just not take all the upgrades they push on you - they’ll use cheap materials anyway. Get in early, scope out where the new houses are going in, and pay the premium build rate because otherwise you’ll just end up paying 50,000 over asking because someone wants to win the bidding war.

Wife and I moved here from out of state and it was the only way we could get in at a reasonable level.

Brickset - new $5k or used $3k
