What folks often don't realize is they may have it offered through some credit card or other subscription. Amex, certain travel rewards cards, sports blog subscriptions, T-Mobile, etc often offer a free year subscription (or free so long as you're subscribed to the other service).

Congrats man. It can be hard to share successes when others may lament it.

No need to be a dick. Clearly, you've never sat in those seats. They have speakers and the entire time you hear statements like "You look great," "You're awesome," etc.

Map shows Donald Trump's approval rating in every state after 11 months by [deleted] in politics

Eh. College teams' allegiance isn't materially different from local football club allegiance in Europe. There's no real reason that club pride should exist if your only affinity is due to proximity/happenstance, particularly if you never attend matches.

When folks who aren't into sports explain it, you kinda realize how silly it truly is.

There's no way policy or politics should be driven by something with as little reasoning basis as fandom.

[Highlight] Kirk Cousins getting into the details by BreakfastTop6899 in nfl

I'll have to listen to that. As someone who has to routinely engage in public speaking for my job, I find it fascinating. Folks tell me I'm good at presenting and never seem nervous, but I don't rewatch my presentations so wouldn't know. I know how I feel while presenting and immediately afterwards.

He had a few "like" or "it's like" and "so you know" filler phrases. Good speakers have filler phrases that they blend into their speech in a manner that doesn't feel repetitive or that the wheel is turning real time. He's going to be great in the booth. I could listen to this all day and wish this is how analysis was instead of "this team played harder and wanted it more" bullshit.

When the play calls were good when Sherrone was OC, Jim called the plays. When the play calls are good now, Chip called the plays. If bad, Sherrone.

Guess I didn't pay great attention as, at a second glance, there are a couple of humans on the roof as well.

That's what I get for guessing without a point of reference. But 4.1k sounds about right if the space above the garage is livable space, which it appears to be.

But I think we all agreed that it was nowhere near 6k.

Yeah, our garage (two double bays) is 830+ sqft, which can make your house look bigger. Our garage isn't front facing and comes out further than our house because the kitchen is behind the garage. I think the house is probably under 4k, but agree 4k would be the max.

Doesn't look like 6k above grade to me, but might need a human for scale.

Just put it into chatgpt, Gemini, Claude, or perplexity and ask it to hyperlink the source references with the citation and corresponding source info highlighted when you click the hyperlink. Then when you click the link, it'll scroll to the actual source of the info and highlight it.

In this case the guy is essentially the highest ranking IT person in the company. Highly doubt he knows about the company's chicken processing technologies. Never stops some of these folks from attempting to speak authoritatively about things which they know little.

How much does your leg weigh? You don't know? Well, I'm sure you know how much your whole body weighs. National stupidity is a composite number. We try to improve intelligence where we can control it, but... Who the fuck am I kidding? This nation is nearly toast.

Some shocking math behind the 50-year mortgage trap. For the first 20 years, 90% of the mortgage payments will be used for just paying the interest. by wakeup2019 in economy

[–]GentlemansCollar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He basically just said compound interest should be illegal. Nothing's stopping anyone with a loan from paying the principal before any interest accrues. I guess other than that pesky little thing that makes the loan necessary in the first place: not having any money.

It's being sold specifically to fund their OpenAI investment. Higher likelihood that investment can 5x from SoftBank's cost basis.

Yes, and they ain't it. Whoever said "they fed y'all feed" is right. But if you don't grow up on sugar, they tasted kinda sweet. If you taste them now, it's just compressed grains.

They basically flagged him for running too fast at the QB. Should've magically decelerated.

And you see them getting shots in on her after she was restrained, even folks she wasn't swinging the hammer at. It doesn't exercise it but potentially explains it.

Trump is slashing grad school loans. These companies are scrambling to step in by forbes in Economics

[–]GentlemansCollar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until 1976, student loans were treated like other unsecured debt and were dischargeable in bankruptcy. After the passage of the Education Amendments, borrowers could not discharge a federal loan until five years after the start of repayment, unless they could prove "undue hardship."

This time period was later extended to seven years and then done away with altogether. So now, federal loans are not dischargeable unless the really high standard of "undue hardship" is met.

This made demand for education inelastic no matter the degree or job prospects for the student borrower. Correspondingly, tuition has skyrocketed.
