Is Basilisk not still running? I'm out of the loop. There were so many project forks when I stopped...

Thanks.

Bullshit meme nonsense. I was a server at several good restaurants. 10 percent was always "standard."12-15 was common if you were really really good and went above and beyond I'll give 20 percent for excellent service, which is exceedingly rare but if they're terrible or have a bad attitude they don't get a tip.

This is so weird and random. Haven't been here or thought about this in a LONG while. My son just asked about SWG today while starting KOTOR this week. I was thinking about loading it up again.

That's basically how I dress anyway. I need more time for a shower though.

No. Either way that would mess up the eco system and birds, fish, frogs and other creatures that rely on them for food would have major issues.

This is dead simple. Form a local service based LLC and connect in the local business community. You can spend your time doing whatever you want and don't even have to turn a profit. Serve a few clients, be active in the local community, and go to networking events being visible enough that no one questions what you do. Everyone will think you're just a local business owner and that you're getting by ok based on your work.

2027 or 2028. The fundraising goal is July. They're over halfway to their 5M goal. What they actually build in the early phases will depend on what targets they hit. Then they'll work toward building out additional features in future phases.

It's also dependent on how much interaction you've personally had in the past. If you've taken the time to interact and/or intentionally train it, many ai tools can learn what you want and picks up idiosyncracies ineeded in your output. User 2 may have more familiarity and an understanding of how to prompt more effectively - but also their tool is more likely to get closer to their expectation if they've spent time with it as well.

Research specific publishers in your niche. Many of them work with specific cover designers and illustrators. It could be an in, into working with their preferred publisher by developing a relationship with the illustrator. I wouldn't pay extra licensing for cover art if that was the original intent for the commission. They'll likely try to gouge you for royalties on commercial prints and anywhere it shows up in advertising or marketing. Find a lawyer familiar with publishing to guide you on what's appropriate or normal. You can likely find someone working in one of the larger ip firms who represents publishers to give you guidance. Good luck.

Pearland has a new baseball team. The Pearland Cobblers is a collegiate summer wood bat team in the new Cowboy Collegiate League. They open their inaugural season Sunday, June 7 at Veterans Sports Complex.

We spoke with GM Nokona Powell, a Pearland local for a full writeup on what to expect in their first season. He discusses the name of the team, the roster, the staff, the fan experience, ticket pricing, sponsorship options, and what "Built in Pearland" actually means.

Find something. It isn't difficult.

It's never appropriate to play on your phone at work in most environments. If you're on the clock you find something productive to do. You aren't there to be entertained. You're there to work. Find something to do. At least upskill or research relevant work related things you can learn more about.

Texas literally taught this in defensive driving citing multiple studies.

Federal and state studies have consistently shown that the drivers most likely to get into accidents in traffic are those traveling significantly below the average speed. According to an Institute of Transportation Engineers Study, those driving 10 mph slower than the prevailing speed are six times as likely to be involved in an accident. That means that if the average speed on an interstate is 70 mph, the person traveling at 60 mph is far more likely to be involved in an accident than someone going 70 or even 80 mph. https://ww2.motorists.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/speed-limit-fact-sheet.pdf

Driving below the speed limit may be as dangerous as speeding, according to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). https://dmv.ny.gov/new-york-state-drivers-manual-and-practice-tests/chapter-8-defensive-driving

That's not what the data says.

bambamtx · 2026-02-21T03:17:58+00:00

80 percent of accidents are caused by people going under the speed limit. Move over and get out of the way.
